He can't take advantage of being the bad-ass person of his movies because he's not a bad-ass, ergo doesn't know how to act like a bad-ass, and he clearly showed this inability in Spiderman by not even being able to play the Spiderman alter ego like a bad-ass. He's trying to adopt a role he can't play. He's a good character actor, but unfortunately, he belongs in films like Seabiscut.

When he intially did Spider man, the directors knew he could nail Peter Parker, but weren't sure of him as Spiderman...(The badass side). He probably doesn't want to be type casted as any one particular character...thus movies like Seabiscut

Hey, I just remember my Toby from his pre-Spiderman days when he did movies like The Ice Storm. But I'm with yeah, Seabiscuit seems...eh, like a step down.

Ever notice how racehoarses have the most fucked up names? Apparently there's a really fast hoarse out there right now named A Feline Story. As if Seabiscuit wasn't enough of a fucked up name, huh?

But you have to remember he didn't play Spiderman, he only played Peter Parker. A computer graphic played Spiderman.

I wonder if I was a famous actor if I'd sell out too? Maybe not...I have too much pride.

Tobey Maguire is........Spiderman!!!
Tobey Maguire is........Seabiscuit!!!
Just doesn't have the same ring to it.........
and yes, I know it's the name of the horse....

I'm actually kinda excited to see that movie (the book is really good) but I think that it's because I'm oddly attracted to seedy racetracks, bowling alleys, dive bars, etc... I think that in a former life I was a polyester-wearing, thin moustache sporting, penny pitching, craps playing, bourbon guzzling, sleazeball.

By the by, you and Sadie should head down to Miami on Saturday to checkout the inaugeral night of Vice at Soho lounge, to get your dance on, drink 40 ouncers in the parking lot, start fights(I hear you have a bad attitude), etc... I'll be deejaying 80s punk / fun stuff, but there are otehr rooms as well.

they should merge seabiscut and spiderman. the extreame horse back rideing champion.

Funny, I think of Wonderboys and Sweet Hereafter more, yet he was such a great Peter Parker, I give due credit.
The odd thing about that fucking horse movie is from start to finish everyone has been stoked about it. I had a buddy that worked on the crew, and he was always talking about how excited people were about it.
He could not explain why, and neither does the lackluster trailer.
Ummm ... I saw the Black Stallion.
:-)

PS. USED PICS FOR ME?? Yeah, that would rule. And since AFI is playing that wing, hit em up dahling!
