BEST COMMENT IN THIS ARTICLE ^^^^^ ESPECIALLY THE BEGINNING & END...
BREAKING NEWS...Although i don't know how reliable this information is, i just recently read it in an magazine article of in interview with Raimi...
RAIMI HAS DROPPED SPIDERMAN 5 TO DIRECT WORLD OF WARCRAFT, IN WHICH HE WILL ALSO PRODUCE WOW...
Just thought i'd give an update since a lot of people, wonder WTF happened to Spiderman 5 & 6, lol
Thanks Fallen (you are one of handful of people I do respect on here and I read your comments with utmost curiousity and interest lol). (Strictly being complimentive for you guys out there who like to throw out "gay" words)
You are a dick. So just face facts. So making fun of people isn't talking shit? Man you are ignorant. Have you ever heard the saying "If you don't have anything nice to say then don't say anything at all." Apparently not. And you are no way by far a better person then I am. Lets get that straight.
Corky is your name, because your a fucking retard.
First off, to prove how stupid you sound, I am not a dick, I know who I am and what I'm about, I guess in a way I can say I'm better than you because I am more likely a better person than you. I don't call people stupid shit like fags (which is ignorant but since you're stupid you don't understand that).
Secondly, I don't talk shit to everyone on here, that's quite a bit of an exaggeration. I make fun of people who say dumb things, like yourself for example. I agree with about 8 or more people on here that are regulars (because they are smart and don't say dumb ignorant things).
Thirdly, what are you talking about with this whole Corky thing? Are you on drugs? I'd might cut you break if you were, otherwise that whole Corky business was probably the stupidest, most random thing I have ever heard you say to me, no joke. Lmao corky...wtf goes on in your head when you type dude? My name is Chad. Chad. Now your turn to say it. Good boy. Was that too hard for you to say Chad? Where did you get Corky from? How is that even remotely close to one another? The letter "C"? Was that your big joke, your big insult, your finale? And why do you want me to lick windows? Why would you even think that up lol? You're fucking weird man. And what exactly is the definition of a baby back bitch? I don't even know what that is. Ebonics? Hmm... you're too cool for movieweb nathan, too cool.
ALor2, don't use douche bag it doesn't apply to anything. It's not like I'm an asshole so yeah, just pointing out how dumb your comment was, sorry it was so abrasive.
Oh and I make fun of D&D too and I actually have never even played WoW or D&D but watched others play it and it's just not for me. So your insult is mute. It's not like I can hear you being sarcastic on the internet lol. It's not like you made it APPEAR as if you were joking. That's your fault duder. My advice would be to word things better and not assume that anyone who defends something is one. I defend homosexuals, but that doesn't make me gay either. Don't be a douche (which applies to you now) more than it applies to me.
So I know it can be done, but to the scale in which fans will be happy, that is the question. Either way, I await this film but I do not have the highest hopes.
Also there is a wow movie already out that was done by just a simple fan base about the Ashbringer which was epic all on its own it was called Tales of the Past 3. So many stories that can be made up and that's the beauty of it. It's not limier at all. Sam and Charles KNOW they can't fail at this and they aren't going to there are too many people that play, to many fans in general.
