    Toby McGuire can't act. And Kirsten Dunst in even worse. If I had to pick the worst actress in Hollywood, I would pick her. Real actors? Sir Sean Connery, Jason Stathom, Harrison Ford, Jimmy Stewart, Humphrey Bogart, Sir Alec Guiness... You get the point.

    Ummm... half of those actors are dead and the other half is a little too old to play spider-man, sorry. BTW Toby Maquire is a GREAT actor, maybe he isn't the best looking one of the bunch.

    Bysty, compare Spider-man to lets say DareDevil. I'll take Spiderman, the only thing I didn't like about the is the webbing. I love Doc Oct and I will see it as soon as it comes out :bag:

    Yeah, didn't Peter Parker make his own web shooters in the comic book? I remember him having to change out cartriges or something...

    I was ready to bomb anyone possibly responsible into the Stone Age. I'm just glad I wasn't the President. WWIII would have probably started.

     

    ^this is why we don't have female presidents, imagine if she was next to the "Nuke" button during a mood swing? :bag:

    I'll "nuke" you! Remember, I know where you sleep. :assimilated:

    Pish-Posh! You coundn't nuke a Hot Pocket... :bow:

    Yup. No Spiderman for me. Maybe if they had picked better actors (other than Willem Dafoe) and a better story and maybe even a better superhero! Lol.

    I'm glad they got the actors who did it, they actually got actors, just who would your call a good actor, a pretty-boy like Tom Cruse or Keanu Reeves who can't act his way out of a dime? I thought the story and dialog was well written and not cheesey.

     

    Wilm Defoe was great because he went over the top when his character called for it, it wasn't overacting.

    should they bring Kirk back to help bost the rattings of Enterprise?

     

    As James T. Kirk? No. As an ancestor of JTK? Sure why not, he had to have had ancestors right?

    A cameo would be very nice, and with nimoy as well... I don't think that they should have them as anyone in perticular, maybe just a simple walkthrough. Sorta like Deforest Kelly in "Encounter at Farpoint" that scene brings a tear to my eye...

    dont you just adore the cut and paste function?? <_<

     

    RC - yeah and every day is childrens day and every month is white history month and so on and so on. If so-called minority groups feel like they aren't recognised in general history, then wouldn't devoting only one month to it make it seem less important all the other times of the year?

    Yes I adore the cut and paste function..no way was I going to quote that long quote of mine!

     

    No, it would motivate history textbook writers to begin to include demonstrated historical facts

    about minority contributions in American History textbooks, which is exactly what happened only after those facts were regularly presented in special weeks or months.

     

    As I said, if these facts had never been omitted, there would not have been a need to do anything extra. I don't think it even occurs to many white people that anyone but white Americans were over there fighting in Europe during World War II, but what harm is there in telling the truth? Segregated black troops were also over there fighting for their country!

     

    And I do not regret knowing the history I know. I was taught about many many many white heroes, who I think of as my own American heroes especially the astronauts of the Mercury and Gemini and Apollo era...all white. I have scrapbooks full of Apollo to this day! And I don't buy into the rhetoric against white males. But the white friends I went to school with know very little of the contributions of black people, and without the special days, that would still be the case.

    I have allways known about black troops in WWII, I learned it in history class. Plus, after I all ready knew it, I saw "The Tuskegee Airmen", and it's a great film! I think a lot of white people learn about black history.

    My problem with this is that when you study history as a whole, you are overwhelmingly studying men. Men have been the "movers and the shakers" throughout history. Do you realize that by concentrating historical study on men we are literally ignoring half of our history?

    I am not sure where you are coming from here, it seemed like you contradicted your self by saying the first: "men are the movers and shakers" then saying that concentrating on men would involve "ignoring half our history"...

     

    I do agree with you though, men have been the movers and shakers, not because the world has been socialized that way, but because men and women have been designed deferantly, they have differant priorities and mindsets.
