    I grew up watching James Franco as Harry Osborn in the original Spider-Man trilogy. The key part of why those movies are still the best movie adaption of Spider-Man, was the huge amount of talent which was present in the main cast. Toby Maguire was amazing as Peter Parker, and James Franco was a truly great Harry Osborn. He brought so much emotion and feeling to the character, and ever since I've thought Franco to be one of our finest actors :)

    Note to Variety: You have all these amazing actors together in what could/ should be a terrific chat between them, but .... the environment must be too obtrusive, or the cameramen, lighting etc must get in the way as they generally all come over more awkward than necessary. Put them in a room together, set up the cameras on them .. then go out & leave them to it with a couple of glasses of wine/ pints of beer whatever & let them just TALK!!! Then edit, cut, whatever afterwards as you would probably have gold there.

    I always fought with my friends saying that Dustin Hoffman was a legend at par with some of the greatest actors and he never got as much respect as Pacino or De Niro. I loved him in a lot of films but Kramer vs Kramer left me speechless. When I heard, Dustin was accused of sexual assault, it really hurt me. I hope he would come out innocent because I haven't been able to watch any film of him since then.

    • @NewtFidoScamander
      @NewtFidoScamander Před 6 lety +2

      Rohit Kumar It's all allegations, it's hard to know what's true, what's not, what's been distorted, etc. It's dangerous to throw accusations like those, and some people have been lumped in with sociopaths such as Harvey Weinstein or Kevin Spacey.

    • @MichaelHolmgaard
      @MichaelHolmgaard Před 6 lety +2

      Well, it's hard to judge a man just based on allegations alone -At least in my opinion. Until there are profound evidence, I'd say watch his movies nonetheless. It might as well have been a lady looking for attention...

      @NewtFidoScamander Před 6 lety +2

      j qui Harvey & Spacey have dozens upon dozens of accusations upon them. Dustin as far as I know, has one, that's the big difference. The gravity of the accusations against Weinstein (rape) and Spacey (Rapp story especially) is on another level as well.

    • @spookyencounters9392
      @spookyencounters9392 Před 6 lety +1

      j qui There's actually secretly recorded audio of Harvey Weinstein trying to get a young actress into his hotel room in quite a predator way, and she mentions how uncomfortable she was with what he did to her the time before. Grabbing her tit etc.... I think she had a recorder hidden in her brain. Either that or some hotel hallway cameras had sound on them too. I heard it yesterday
