Amazing Spider-Man 2 is picking up steam with an EW cover featuring Spidey and Jamie Foxx as Electro , and now star Andrew Garfield is asking everyone who’ll listen, “Why can’t he be gay?” If you’re going by the books, well, MJ is a woman. However, there’s nothing saying they have to stick to the books. There’s been plenty of instances in superhero movies that the storylines don’t even come close to what is/was found in the comics. So that’s not really a valid argument. Garfield goes a little bit further by saying he would like the male version of Mary Jane to be played by Michael B. Jordan. That’s where I have to throw a flag. As an avid comic book fan and most especially a DC Comics fan, I’d like to say on behalf of a good number of DC Comics fans, we have Michael B. Jordan already mentally cast in the Justice League movie as Cyborg so please back off. Find yourself a new man Andrew Garfield, this one’s taken. Outside of that, I really can’t find a reason to disagree with Garfield. It would make for an interesting turn in the films, that is for sure. So what say you, THGers: Can Spider-Man be gay? Yes, why not? Are you kidding? MJ is a girl! View Poll »
When the Oldboy poster was released the other day, all it did was fan the flames of “will this remake do justice to the original?” With the Oldboy red band trailer out today, the answer is a strong… maybe. Oldboy Trailer (Red Band) While it doesn’t look as disastrous as it could have been, a lot of remakes are, at first glance it doesn’t have the same feel as the original. Perhaps it’s the lighting or the way the action plays out. It might be nothing more than the fact it’s in English, it just doesn’t seem the same. I will give Josh Brolin this, I buy him as the main character. Didn’t think I would, but this trailer changed my mind. We have until October 25th to discuss this ad nauseam, so for now we’ll just leave it as, it has potential.

Kris doesn’t want to phuck up that Kardashian scrilla. Kris Jenner Wants Kim To Slow Down Marriage Talk Kimmy has been married twice and she is only in her early 30s…. maybe mama Kris has the right idea. According to Naughty But Nice Rob Kim Kardashian‘s divorce from Kris Humphries is final and she just gave birth to a baby girl with Kanye West, but momager Kris Jenner is reportedly telling the couple to slow down and not get hitched any time soon. According to a new report, Kris doesn’t want to tarnish the Kardashian brand with another possible marriage failure. “Kris is encouraging the couple to NOT get married,” a family friend told Naughty But Nice Rob. “After Kim’s last, 72-day marriage, Kris feels like the Kardashian brand does not need another marriage disaster on its hands. She is telling them to take their time, to really think about it. A third divorce for Kim, is not something Kris wants for her daughter or her family business.” The source adds that Kim’s family is worried she looks to marriage for her happiness. “There is no doubt that everyone in the family wants to see Kim happy, but at the same time they are assuring her that she doesn’t need to be married to find happiness,” the insider said. “Kim adores Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt, which is why her mom is using them as an example of how you can be a solid, committed couple, without having to say ‘I do.’ Kris originally used Goldie Hawn and Kurt Russell as an example of a great couple that never got married, but Kim had no idea who these two were!” We think Kanye should watch his back because at the rate Kim is going, she will be the next Elizabeth Taylor with all these husbands….that’s not a good look ma. If we were Kanye, we would holla: “we want prenup.”
