    For me, I couldn't tell you one thing about Electro's personality that's suppose to make him a unique villain. In all the comics I've read he's just a dude who hates Spider-Man and shoots lighting bolts out of his fingers until he gets hosed down with water.

    Jamie Foxx, Jamie Lee Curtis, James Earl Jones --- none of these choices would be sacrilege to me.

    Trust me - I'd love to see an Oscar winning actor like Foxx trying to act all menacing in green tights with electric bolt shaped fins fanned out around his face - I would seriously seriously love it - but unless everyone involved is trying to use this opportunity as a way to get thrown out of the film industry I don't see it happening.

          Wait, that's a poor comparison, 'cause sometimes you hets really Pi$$ me off.

          For the record, I'm cool with straight actors playing gay and vice-verse.
          I wanna give you a big hug...and a big kiss!!!

            I just don't see the connection at all. He's a horrible choice for a screen villain, and Foxx is probably not in the top thirty or forty actors I'd even think about casting in the role. Couldn't possibly care about race, but I still have a hard time, to this day, watching anything he's in and not think of Shanaynay. Couldn't even shake it in Ray and I'm sure when I watch Django I'll think of it again. He might actually make a great Electro, it's just the fact they are considering Electro at all is bowel-voidingly bad idea.
            I almost had a psychic girlfriend but she dumped me before we met.

            If anyone here believes in psychokinesis, please raise my hand.

                  Ouch! How many more PR gaffs like this will it take before Sony starts sweating...
