"I like being bad. It makes me happy."
500 of these:
No he wouldnt have been great, he was cast against type. This has never once worked in the entire history of film, and it didn't work with Topher. Venom is nothing at all like Topher.
He's more along the lines of a 'roided out Henry Rollins on a bad day, but I digress. VENOM IS A SCARY GUY. He should scare you, and he should scare Spidey because he is serious bad news, not some 125-lb blonde guy best known for living in his parent's basement in Wisconsin on a sitcom. Again,
"I like being bad. It makes me happy."

89 Batman looks at your post and laughs at it's absurdity. So does just about every single role in every movie where the star was not who they originally had in mind, like Arnold for Terminator, Pacino for Michael Corleone, Ford for Indy, Eastwood for Dirty Harry, the list goes on and on.

Re: The Amazing Spider-Man
Are we now discussing "Mr Mom" Batman? 'k, let's don't go there. Although I will say Mr Mom as Batman isnt nearly as serious an infraction as sweet lil' Topher as Venom.
Your other mentions are not castings against type. Alternate casting does not equal casting against type, two different concepts.

Re: The Amazing Spider-Man
Two different concepts? It's casting against type. Dirty Harry was supposed to be played by the polished, debonaire Frank Sinatra, not the grizzly western star Clint Eastwood. James Bond was the same. They wanted an English gentleman and wound up casting a Scottish trucker. Your wording was poor and incorrect and it has worked outstandingly throughout the history of film. Maybe not in the case of Spider-Man 3, but it has worked with phenomenal success.

Re: The Amazing Spider-Man
None of the characters you mention have been portrayed prior to as a specific type of character in a picture-centric source; no one went into the theatre with an expectation as to what Dirty Harry was going to look like. But, had Sammy Davis Jr been cast as Dirty Harry, this would have been a fail. As bad a fail as 'lil Topher was as Venom.
I have been warned about you a while back, and our conversation will therefore terminate at this time as I feel nothing productive will come of it. 'Ave a nice day

Re: The Amazing Spider-Man
Nope: I have been well warned what you're like, and I have no interest in a protracted flamewar and all that entails. If you want to take that as a victory, do so. Its no never mind to me.
I'll continue to post as I see fit. Just not in response to you.

I never knew we had a snake emoticon. Probably because Darklord Dave love Voldemort so much.

I know nothing of Harry Potter, but I know that snakes and Loki are closely intertwined subjects, pardon the pun.... plus no one else out here uses it that I have seen, so its in heavy rotation over here.

Even if it tanked, she'd still have Zombieland 2 whenever those morons decide to get off their asses and do it.
