    ok yall well im just sayin that none of these actors read these.

    they shouldnt have freakin made him die in that last spider-man. i was so mad. i was like 'why would anyone want to kill someone with as much beauty as him???? i wouldnt kill him, id do him.' haha.

    well its not as if no one else thinks that. im just the only one who will admit to thinking about him in a naughty way. lol!
