09.16.08 TOBEY MAGUIRE DISSED BY MRS. STEVE MCQUEEN
The Times Online reports that Tobey Maguire has signed a deal expected to be worth $50 million to shoot Spider-Man 4 and 5 back to back over six months next year. Maguire only agreed after he was granted mornings and evenings off as “family time” to spend with his daughter “Ruby Sweetheart” (sorry for the quotes, it’s just a lame name). Meanwhile, Steve McQueen’s widow basically called Maguire a pussy.
Some critics have mocked the current generation of Hollywood actors as “boy-men”. Steve McQueen’s widow Barbara said she could not imagine him asking for “family time” when making The Great Escape. Like McQueen, Maguire came from a troubled background. He planned to be a chef until his mother, an aspiring scriptwriter, gave him $100 to take acting rather than cooking lessons to make sure he “got to know the world”. It worked.
Hmm, I’m not sure wanting to spend time with your daughter makes you a pussy, but I know a crew full of people half-assing it for the money and a star who only works during the middle of the day will no doubt make for a really good movie. Spider-Man 5: Because They Begged Us.
UPDATE: Not an update, per se, but I got the hair-flip .gif working again and I didn’t want to deny anyone its creepiness.

My daughter’s name is Emerald Fingerbang.
Everbody elses’ picture is moving too right? It’s like fucking Hogwart’s up in here and I’m freeeeakin’ out!
I don’t understand the relevance of an animated Chris Gaines pic here.
My son’s name is Cherrypoppin Asskicker.
I can’t take my eyes off that gif, it’s horrible….
I’m guessing that the “It worked” phrase at the end of that quote is highly subjective, right?
Steve McQueen’s widow Barbara said she could not imagine him asking for “family time” when making The Great Escape.
You’d work late too if your wife was the inspiration for the current Jack’s Links ads.
Why the fuck did they interview Steve McQueen’s widow about Tobey Maguire? Might as well interview Lightning McQueen.
One of my daughter’s names is Diamond Knockoff. We call her Zirconia though.
At the rate this franchise is circling the drain, I half expect the villain to be the Hamburgler.
GRRR…..RUBBLE RUBBLE!!!
I would have liked to see his Emo Chef menu.
Pointless Porkchops
Cut Myself Calamari
French Onion Soup w/ Tears
I Suck at Life Stroganoff
Yeah, we all owe his mom a swift kick in the ass.
If I had a daughter I’d call her Pearl Wisdom.
If my wife looked like Tobey Maguire’s wife, I’d demand Peter Jackson direct Spiderman 4, 5, 6, 7, and 8 in New Zealand for 5 years.
They edited out the last part of her quote: “Now put down that pad and paper, young man, and hand me my tapioca before I rip out your larynx.”
Barbara then went off on tear, “And let me tell you about that little fruit Heath Ledger,” before being shot with a tranq dart.
I’m having a son and a daughter in a coupla months. Haven’t picked out names yet.
God, I know I’m gonna hate myself for this but . . . any ideas fellas?
Chickpea for the girl, Garbanzo for the boy.
I’m too busy laughing at Michelle’s Emo of Askiban comment.
Erswi, I suppose Gustav and Katrina are not being considered.
I don’t know if it’s true but I hear that vegan wands and limp and sad : (
Barack if it’s a boy. Baracka if it has knives for fingers.
What?
I like Beeble Bop for a girl or Noodle for a boy. SheHeba if we’re not sure.
I’d call them Layla and Eric, but I’m a big fan of ironic foreshadowing.
David Bowie Jokerswild and Maya Angelou Jokerswild.
