  • WATCHDOG GROUP BURNS BOOK | Today's News: Our Take | 12/28/2005
    Surprisingly — or not? — the American Family Association, which has smote irreverent series dating back to Charlie's Angels, is taking issue with the new NBC drama The Book of Daniel (premiering Jan. 6), in which Aidan Quinn plays a clergyman with a colorful clan and who, by the way, occasionally chats with Jesus (played by Garrett Dillahunt).

But we had the Green Goblin in the first film, and I really don't think it's smart to repeat that." So whatever they have Franco doing in Spider-Man 3, he says, "It's gonna be different. I don't think I'll fly." The 26-year-old Franco — a Golden Globe winner for TNT's 2 read more
