Thank god. Raimi was wasting his talent.

Outside of Evil Dead 1 & 2... what movies of his do you personally like? I'm not a fan of Evil Dead 3... gets really boring, is a more mainstream rehash of what came before.

Havn't seen Crimewave, A Simple Plan, or For Love if the Game, but outside of the first two, nothing on there I would buy or record to keep.

Great news, I trust Kirsten Dunst is gone too. Maguire is far too old to play a teenager anyway.

The last one sucked, and when Raimi was mooted to be favouring The Vulture as the villain, well, i nearly lost it. I'm so glad they're out.

I recently saw Evil Dead: the Musical Not a Raimi production, but it was very funny & silly.

Kirsten Drunkass is just annoying in films.

And really....do we need four or five Spiderman films? It seems a good rule is if you're doing a trilogy of these comic book things, keep it to a trilogy. Batman went on WAY too long and went all homoqueer once Schumacher got a hold of it. He purposely tried to make it into a spoof and parody of the TV series. Batman was NEVER a dork comic strip. (Although in those censorship years, they were going into outerspace, etc and it was insane, and they eventually got away from all that and got back to the original ideas, as the first Batman movies did). Joel Schumacher is the one who F'd up the Batman franchise. Even Clooney was like "WTF?" throughout. But as far as Spiderman...let it go for now.

You're right in the Peter Parker can't be a teenager forever. Let Spiderman grow up, and have different issues, or let him just exist in people's minds, and stop making these stupid films. 3 is enough. Although I liked the latest Indiana Jones film, I was quite happy with the first three alone.

Maguire pulling out of this, as well as Rami, is the smartest thing they could have done.
