It's Picture Day!

Major-ish depressing news today, blog-readers (and I found this out on People.com, which somehow makes it worse):

Andrew Garfield is the new Peter Parker. You may have heard that they're looking to "reboot" the series for the fourth movie, helmed by (500) Days Of Summer director Marc Webb. Only instead of making it continue after the third, they're placing Peter Parker in high school.

This sounds awesome, first of all, but it'll sound only awesome-er if they get the right guy to play Spidey. Let's remember, everyone, that they're looking for someone for a high school Peter Parker. Here are the rumored actors, followed by Andrew Garfield (pictures).

Jamie Bell (Defiance, Jumper)

Josh Hutcherson (The Kids Are Alright, Journey To The Center Of The Earth)

Aaron Johnson (Nowhere Boy, Kick-Ass)

Honestly, I don't think these guys photograph well. All three of them are attractive, and while two (Johnson and Bell) are British, I might've seen them as Spidey. They're young and have already established themselves (kinda) in Hollywood.

Now, ladies and gentlemen, I introduce you to the newest Spider-Man, the relatively unknown and too-old-to-be-even-considered-for-this-part Andrew Garfield!!!!

(Seriously, he's like, 26.)

Um. Am I the only one who thinks this is really, really wrong? This is what People has to say about it and this is what Entertainment Weekly has to say about it. Like, I understand that Tobey Maguire was 27 when he starred in the first Spider-Man movie. However! He actually pulled off the geeky superhero look. Am I just not getting it? Was the Peter Parker in the original comic books not as geeky as we think he was? I mean, I guess it would explain why all these teen heartthrobs were rumored for Peter Parker.

Anyway, so that's that. Moving on for more pictures. . .

Entertainment Weekly has a link to some pictures of Johnny Depp as Jack Sparrow in the upcoming fourth movie of the Pirates of the Caribbean series. Check 'em out! Doesn't really give us much, but hey! It's still good ol' Cap'n Jack!

Well, blog-readers? What do you have to say about: Andrew Garfield being the new Spider-Man; or Johnny Depp pictures in Pirates? I think it's kind of interesting we saw Andrew Garfield in the trailer for Never Let Me Go, a trailer yours truly supplied to you all just Wednesday. . . .
