Spidey, Breaking Dawn and more

I haven’t commented anything lately because my favorite shows have been on hiatus, and with the holidays, well, there hasn’t been much news to discuss.

The newsgates have opened wide today with lots of information to set my geeky little heart all aflutter. Some wonderful, some horrible.

They’re making Spider-man 4 without Tobey MacGuire and Sam Raimi?!?! Nooooooooooo! Are they crazy?! Those morons. Why? Why? Why? Don’t make it at all if those two aren’t involved! Sam Raimi made “Spider-man” into one of the greatest superhero films of all time. And after three pictures, Tobey Maguire is Peter Parker. This is, by far, one of the stupidest things I’ve ever heard come out of Hollywood. Stupid Sony. Those idiots. They’re going too ruin a great franchise.

My man Brandon Routh aka Clark Kent/Superman is joining the cast of “Chuck” next week. There have been lots of interviews with him this week. He briefly confirmed he’s still heard nothing about another Superman film, which means, most likely, they’ll recast him too. Ugh. Idiots. Who’s running Hollywood these days, anyway? Where do I apply?

A producer for Summit Entertainment confirmed to the L.A. Times that the problem with “The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn” is a hold-up with the script and deciding whether it will be one film or two. Stephenie Meyer has to approve it, and most importantly approve whether it will be made into one film or two, and a suitable script hasn’t been turned in yet. Stephenie…don’t make me hunt you down, girl. Two films, you hear me? Two films! Make it happen.

And, horror of horrors, Jared Padalecki (Sam, Supernatural) is now reportedly engaged to Genevieve Cortese (Ruby, Supernatural)? Last I knew, he was engaged to Sandra McCoy. Sam and Ruby? What?!? When did that happen? Personally, I like Genevieve even if I didn’t like that stupid demon witch Ruby so much, so I’m happy for them. Guess Jared felt pressured when his older onscreen brother, my man Jensen Ackles, got engaged to Dannelle Harris. Sigh. Another (hot) one bites the dust.

Speaking of “Supernatural,” I almost fell out of my chair when I saw this report today, and then I almost did a full-hip-action happy dance complete with finger snaps in my cubicle. Series creator Eric Kripke has always said the show would not go beyond 5 seasons, and folks, the fifth season is halfway over. And, ye gods, I never ever in my wildest fantasies expected “Smallville” to stay on the air for 10 seasons, but it seems I’m not the only one who thinks these two shows have been AMAZING this year. Because both have done so well critically this season, and “Supernatural” specifically has seen a ratings increase, the CW is seriously thinking of keeping both shows next year. A possibility of more Tom Welling? More Jensen Ackles? Happy squeal! I knew there was a God!
