Did you guys hear the rumor about who might play the lead in Spider-Man today? Yeah! Access Hollywood broke it. And, like, half the Internet picked up on it. Because — yeah! Access Hollywood! Isn’t that the show with the John Tesh looking motherfucker with a mustache and a drunken voice mail booty-call problem?

Anyway. It’s not important. Let’s move on to something that matters. Like McG’s career. Remember that guy? Directed a couple of Charlie’s Angels movies and thought he was some kind of hot shit, so he made a movie about a plane crash where all anyone can talk about is the football team, before deciding that he was obviously a good enough director to take over the Terminator franchise.

Well, McG got his reality check, didn’t he? And now he’s returning to something a little more his speed. As in, a romantic comedy. But he’s gonna blow it out, bro!

It’s not a done deal, yet, but McG is currently in talks to direct This Means War, which currently has Reese Witherspoon and Bradley Cooper attached. It’s about two male friends who have been BFFs since childhood who then fall in love with the same woman (Witherspoon) and watch their friendship disintegrate, apparently forgetting about the brah code, brah.

Timothy Dowling wrote the most recent draft of the script — the movie has been in development for something like 12 years, and has seen its number of actors and directors come aboard before abandoning the project, most likely because it’s a completely idiotic one. McG, however, has some free time after Disney nixed his 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea after they realized it was a big budget film and that McG was McG.

Who do you think he’ll get for the soundtrack? Staind or Nickelback? My money’s on Daughtry.

McG needs a McMe to McKick him in the balls.

Love that picture of him, given the fact that he's in Hollywood and is horrendously overpaid can't he find someone who could make a toupee that:

1) Matches his hairline so it doesn't look like a doily sitting on a watermelon
2) Matches his own real hair color at least as well as the monkeys in the paint aisle at Home Depot?

I mean the fake name is assinine enough, McG instead of Nichols, but the fake hair is really horrendous.

Who the fuck is Logan Lerman?

How the hell is this kid even rumored for Pete Parker? What is this world coming to? Do we end this speculation when no one bothers to see Percy Jackson and the Tweens of Olympus?

I do hope Spidey bombs like a flaming bag of rhino poop. Then I won't feel so bad about Wolverine *Snikitty Snikt*

Insert obligatory McG joke here ___________________

Given that he is an executive producer on both Supernatural and Chuck, the two best shows on TV, I find it hard to hate McG. He should stay away from movies though.

THAT'S McGee? He looks like he should be climbing a mountain. In Britain. Is he Britihs? He looks it.

Am I drunk? I types it.

someone should set him on fire.

also, is bradley cooper going to be in every romantic comedy from now until the end of days?

those posters for "valentine's day" make me want to jump up my own ass.

So maybe the he's good at hiring talented people to make good television, but seems to have a little trouble when he's closer to the action?

I'd love to make fun of this guy, but he calls himself McG -- seems redundant.

Two guys fall in love with the same girl? WHAT an original idea!!! Why didn't someone think of that before?

I'm just blown away by the fact Kristen Bell is not starring in that McRomcom. Isn't it written in the Union rules? And isn't Witherspoon a little long in chin for these roles by now, girlfriend is starting to look pathetic.(see: Rachel Aniston)

As for the Spiderman casting, they are SOOOO trying to tween it up, it WILL. BOMB.

Well, at least we know that Bradley Cooper has principals. I don't know anybody else that would star in an R-rated comedy hit and then have the gumption follow it up with a bunch of generic rom-coms.

I need to use that word more. Gumption.

I think he looks cute. But whatever. McG as a name is still stupid.

"also, is bradley cooper going to be in every romantic comedy from now until the end of days?"

Ugh - I hate his fake smile and faker teeth. I totally don't think he's cute. I know that's not the measure of everything, but I feel like he's constantly getting shoved in my face as a cutie.

Chuck is a pretty damn awesome show, but about 10 percent of it sucks every now and then (whenever they go overboard on the spy stuff). I attribute the 10% of its suckiness to McG. I base that on absolutely nothing except for McG's filmography and personal bias. Damnit Hollywood, stop giving this guy work.

I'm going to go with a wildcard choice on the soundtrack: it's either 30 Seconds to Mars or Paramore. Those bands'll write songs for any film. I mean, Paramore is a critically acclaimed pop/rock band with a female lead singer that decided writing music for Twilight was a great career move. 30 Seconds to Mars is fronted by an actor who gained a ton of weight to play Mark David Chapman in a film that was dumped to a one week only release with no non-weight related publicity. Both bands make very bad career decisions yet still keep selling records by the bucket load.
