It's a fanboy thing

So I was reading that the new guy they have got to play spiderman in the 1211 movie...sorry remake....sorry sorry re-imagining ¬¬ is called Andrew Garfield, yeah I don't knw who he is eather.
I checked him out on IMDB and hes had a few TV appearances, he's in the facebook movie and another one out this year called "never let me go" which ive never heard of. Now before you roll your eyes and think "ah jeeze the ubergeek is gonna spew rant sauce all over his key bord" let me assure you im not. What I am going to say is that it always stricked me how crazy people get when something like this is re-cast. It's nuts, when Heath Ledge was cast as the joker they went batshit, no one will ever replace Jack Nicolous!! he's the joker now some aussie surfer type. When they origionally cast Toby Maguire they said "what the cider house rules guy?? Im going to SUE!!"
This isnt confined to movies eather, artists and writers change all the time in the comics. It can completely change the whole look and feel of the characters if the artist changed and the little fan boys go berserk.
Even I'm guilty of this ( and we all know how reasonalbe I am most of the time....coff) when they announced the new doctor who was some cretin with no previous experiance, whoes younger than me, called Matt Smith I ranted at anyone who would listen that it was a travist of justic and that I for one would not be watching.
Result? I think he's actually very suited to the role and once he gets some decent storylines it'll be an awesome show.
Back to Mr. Garfield, we will just have to wait and see, I'll be wathcing the film regardless of what people say about it because I love spidy and watch anything he's in.
That said there is no excuse for letting Nic cage be ghost rider never mind giving him a FUCKING sequal......coff
Anyway...worst pice of casting youve ever seen in a film?
Mine , apart from Sean Connery as anything other than a scot...and he's played russians, spanyards and egyptions, would have to be the old clecie of George Clooney as batman.
Cloony's a good actor if all you want him to so is give a slight smile and talk in a weird half whisper, i mean come ON what were they thinking, if batman came out of the shadows and gave you a little smirk and said hi so quietly you went sure if you'd herd him ive been more meniced by a tub of play doe. It seems almost dliberatly miscast like they WANTED the movie to fail . I ask you what the FU..........
