John Travolta looks pretty damned good bald and with a goatee.
Dawn: Any luck? Willow: If you define luck as the absence of success--plenty.

A dress should be tight enough to show you're a woman but loose enough to flee from zombies. — Ginger
Oh, Juliebird, I disagree most violently!! I flinched away from the screen with a jolt. Not even J R-M's delicious pouty face could get me to sit through that.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
What movie is this?

From Paris With Love, I think.

I have not a clue. there were guns and explosions. I suddenly realized that possibly the reason why I always found JT silly was his hair that always makes me flash to "I just wanna dance".

See, I have no innate Travolta hate or anything; I'm tepid on Travolta. But the whole bald/beard thing on my TV with his face was like POW!ARGHH!lookaway!

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!
Next 'Spider-Man' film will be a gritty, contemporary reboot of the franchise.
It's going to be contemporary! Because the previous Spidey movies took place in the OUGHTS.
It's going to be gritty! Because we all know that Spider-Man needs to be grittier. NO ONE WANTS TO SEE GRITTY SPIDER-MAN.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
On IO9 one of the commenters suggests that if they really want to get Peter Parker right they should cast McLovin.

Fnaargh! I have seen the Travolta trailer in question and it freaked me out. Though I would love to see JRM giving the ladies some loving, it's not enough.
Peter Parker is always drawn as cute. It's just the mean shallow people who can't see that he's a worthwhile handsome person. I can't see them going any other way.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
DH said Anton Yelchin's name has been tossed around for the new Peter Parker. He's not exactly gritty, but I could see him in the role.
