Fair enough. For sure, the interview says nothing of his acting ability. I just wondered if coming into something so established would be a challenge for Holland in crafting his performance, since he has to at least create the illusion of chemistry. In the interview he came off as a guy who will keep moving forward in the face of nerves, who can adapt to get along with anybody, which made me think that if there are issues, nerves wouldn’t be one of them. The only thing that got on my nerves was when they got impatient with that caller. Listening to the radio on the way to work, I always cringe when morning hosts get worked up with slow callers. Some callers deserve it, but I didn't see why Tom got impatient with him not having his question ready.

Yeah, alright, you convinced me. Can't argue with such compelling arguments.

Oh man, how true! I wonder what he's up to. I kinda miss his rants about how the Spider-Man trilogy was the worst thing to ever happen in human history. Did you know that he didn't hate Spider-Man and Spider-Man 2 before Spider-Man 3 came out?

Funny thing is, I do too. I actually don't remember a time he didn't hate the Raimi Spider-man movies, and he was on Sony's boards before I was. One thing's for sure, he got worse as time went on. Hell, the guy really ragged on Spider-man 2, even when it was being considered one of the "all time greats". Half the time I wasn't really against what he wanted for Spider-man per se. Our disagreements were more about his unwillingness to acknowledge anything positive about Raimi's movies. Bet he'd love the s*** out of Netflix's Daredevil though.

Accurate. The reason I know he liked the Raimi's Spider-Man films is because I was genuinely curious at some point: I looked up his old posts. Since he'd been on the boards since before Spider-Man (1) came out, there was a long history of them. All I remember he complained about is Danny Elfman's soundtrack and the CGI quality, but he was a rather positive, albeit a little aggressive dude overall. Spider-Man 3 is what turned him into an enraged, heated man. I think one thing I found striking that he did a lot before we joined the message boards is complain about how Sony wouldn't listen to the fans who post on the forums. He would format many of his posts as open letters to the producers of the movies: "Raimi do this" and "Sony do that" would be among the phrases he used. "Sony, take note" was be another one. Ahh, I kinda wish we could still access an archive of the old forums. They're a goldmine for Times Square gossip.

Dios mio, an old forum archive would be interesting but, probably my worst nightmare I actually don't remember a lot from that time, just small details here and there but, boy what a time it was.

Oh goodness the misspelling and the letter swaps and just, I haven't thought about that in forever but, I have no idea what that was about. I don't know what I thought I was doing, like if it was creative or what. I think on some level it might have been. Like, I was playing the Spazzarro character or something which, if you remember, was supposed to be the Batzarro Spidey which, does kind of exist canonically already but, this was more EDGY.
I actually found my notebook just yesterday of all my pen drawings of Spazzarro. Like, ripping off Iron Maiden album covers and shit. Absolutely ridiculous. I remember there was a loose one that was a really good Amazing Fantasy #15 like, "parody", but, that wasn't in the box all this stuff was in.

Dang Webber, you've got a good memory. There are a few others who I remember besides you all here, but I can't say I remember the details down to the grammar.

Dang Webber, you've got a good memory. There are a few others who I remember besides you all here, but I can't say I remember the details down to the grammar. Oh man, consider me relieved; my grammar was absolutely awful! I mean, it still isn't perfect, but at least (I hope) you guys normally understand what I try to say. I remember the very first thread I created back in 2006. I think it was a question about functionality. I might be wrong, but I believe I was asking how to create a poll. I digress, within a minute of creating the thread, seeing that nobody was answering, I posted again something like "Hello!?" And then again "SOMEONE PLEASE ANSWER!!" And I kept on going... In the end, I'd made SIX consecutive posts begging for an answer. I remember the last one in particular, it read: "Why is no one answering!?!?!?!?! Bouhoubouhoubouhoubouhoubouhou!!!! " I was something else, I tell you!

See, I don't remember any of this. I remember lopli alright, aka "the original Notorious One". While I'm not prone to getting into as many long winded arguments, I'm still pretty damn long winded. Not sure how I came off back then when I was in my early to mid teen years.

What are you talking about? You were one of the most reasonable and least belligerent members of the Sony message boards if my memory serves me right.

But when there was a disagreement, I'd keep a debate going just like the rest of them, sometimes for days at a time. I just did it the Ned Flanders way I suppose.

Boy, times have changed. We're too few to have solid arguments around here. Problem with Times Square is that it has no visibility whatsoever. The old Sony boards were official, and that's a big deal. I'm still upset they didn't bring them back. It's almost free maintenance and advertisement. They can even have a self-moderating community. Anyway... It's not the most questionable decision made by Sony by a long shot. Forums are no longer cool, so I get why they didn't bother.
