People dont think of Thomas Haden Church as a cowboy; instead, they recognize him from the sitcom Wings, or as the endearingly dunderheaded ladies man in Sideways. But hes well suited to star in a Western such as Broken Trail, the two-part movie airing this week. For starters, he lives in Texas. He owns a ranch. (Several, actually.) And, like the Western genre, he seemed to disappear for a while, only to make a significant return in recent years. Adam Sternbergh spoke to him about frontier facial hair, his role as the Sandman in Spider-Man 3, and his problem with the word comeback.
Westerns look like fun films to do, if only because you never have to take a shower.
Yeah, I definitely let my personal hygiene fall off. But theyre hard movies to do, as well. Youre managing a 1,200-pound animal every day. Im a rancher now, but we dont use horses much. So Im not much of a horseman. Just good enough to look authentic, I guess.
Westerns are now so iconicit must be difficult to play a character as a real person rather than as a cowboy.
I dont believe in acting. I believe that you just have to try and live in the soul or the spirit of the person youre playing. It was the same thing with Sideways, and its the same thing with Spider-Man.
Its been reported that youd retired from acting before you got offered Sideways.
Thats not really accurate; someone wrote that because it made the whole comeback much more dramatic. I didnt really retireacting just wasnt my focus. I bought my ranch in 98, and I moved back to Texas full time. I now run three ranches with 500 head of cows. We generate $300,000 a year in gross revenue. Its a viable operation.
Yet you were still pursuing work in TV?
After Ned and Stacey, I had two consecutive deals at Disney and ABC from 1997 to 2000. They paid me to co-create and star in something. In three years, we wrote four pilots, but they never aired.
Both Wings and Ned and Stacey just came out on DVD. What do people usually recognize you from?
It used to depend on where you were. In a nice restaurant in New York City, it was Ned and Stacey; in a bar in Texas, it was Wings. Now Sideways is on cable all the time. I was sitting in a restaurant in my little town in Texas, in the only restaurant in this teeny little town, and three different people came up to me and said something about Sideways.
Maybe you should have kept the mustache you wear in Broken Trail.
No way. ****, I shaved that off before I even left Calgary. I hated it. Thats the first time Ive ever had a mustache in my life. My mom was like, I didnt even know you could grow one. And I said, I didnt, either. Until it came out on my lip.

Of course, the rest of the year is not just about Bond so neither is the issue with a massive preview taking you right through to summer 2007. Unseen pics, exclusive access, 120 flicks you know the drill.
Elsewhere, Eva Longoria does some housework, Spider-Man shows us his new suit, James Cameron saves the industry and Snakes On A Plane Jumps The Shark or does it? (I think it's over already. New cult fave: Crank).

This was in the paper a while ago but I didn't think of making a thread about it. Nice one Retro.
Also, I took the photo's on my phone so they're not the best quality and I don't know who to post them any bigger.
Oh..Goran i agree with you.Goran said:Today a friend of mine brought me a small piece about Spidey3 from a teen magazine called Bravo... maybe you know it. First off I was so glad about it, but then I went mad... and you'll see why.
Here's a translation:
headline: "Tobey Maguire discovers the dark side of Spider-Man"
Venom pic caption: "The nasty metamorphosis from red to black Spidey!"
caption from lower-left pic: "The teaser poster of Spider-Man 3. Just a small outlook of how dark the new film is going to be."
Peter pic caption: "Milksop no more. Wearing the dark Spider-Man outfit, Tobey Maguire is cooler than ever."
main article: The next movie summer is going to be really dark! Unlike wearing a gaudy red outfit as always, Tobey Maguire shows himself in a cool black suit as from 5.3.2007. And his foes are bada$$ too - this time around he fights against three villains: Green Goblin 2, Venom and Sandman, who is able to shift into sand during a fight. Cool!

Oh man... they're overly stupid. They really believe that the fanmade poster is an official one..And you know, it's a very popular magazine among teens here in Germany.
>The Secret Gardens of Beverly Hills
When cruising along Sunset or Santa Monica Boulevard in Beverly Hills, drivers know they’ve entered the self-proclaimed “Garden City” by all the manicured lawns and the more than 27,000 trees (including the iconic palms) planted along the city’s parkways. And while many of the best gardens are off-limits (behind high walls and tight security), there are a few secret plots of green that visitors — in a much-needed break from all the miles of asphalt in surrounding L.A. — can seek out. Turn the page to read about our favorite five. — Charles Runnette
1-Virginia Robinson House and Garden
The former grand dame of Robinson’s Department Stores always loved to share her 1911 Beaux-Arts mansion and six hillside acres of gardens with others. Over the years, glitterati such as Douglas Fairbanks, Mae West, Edward VIII and Wallis Simpson, and Ronald Reagan have strolled through her five gorgeous, distinctive plots — from the magnolia trees and azaleas in the Italian Terrace Gardens to the banana plants, Australian king palms, and plumerias in her world-famous Tropical Palm Garden. ¶ Before she died (in 1977, at the age of 99), Robinson bequeathed her estate to Los Angeles County so that others could enjoy the thing she credited for her longevity and quick mind: two daily strolls through a magical garden. Tours last 75 minutes and are held Tuesday through Friday, 10 a.m. and one p.m. Cost is $10 for adults and $5 for students and seniors; reservations are required (tours are limited to 50 people). 1008 Elden Way, (310) 276-5367, ext. 100, www.robinson-gardens.com
2- Brooks Brothers
The West Coast flagship store of the preppy Madison Avenue–based clothier — a favorite of Ashton Kutcher, who wore a cream-colored Brooks Brothers suit when he married Demi Moore — has a large, trellised, second-floor wraparound deck overlooking the busy intersection of Rodeo Drive and Santa Monica Boulevard. Clients buying suits use it to check color and fit in daylight; others just relax under the Chilean jasmine (Mandevilla) with a complimentary coffee or cappuccino. Open Monday through Saturday, 10 a.m. to six p.m., and Sunday, noon to five p.m. 468 North Rodeo Drive, (310) 274-4003, www.brooksbrothers.com
3- The Peninsula Beverly Hills
Sarah Jessica Parker has referred to this low-slung, leafy oasis tucked away behind large magnolia trees as “the best-smelling hotel in the world.” In addition to the trees’ white flowers (with their heady, intoxicating citrusy-apricot aroma) out front, this favorite hotel of celebrities and Hollywood power brokers features a rooftop terrace, dining patio, and garden-villa area, all of which are planted with scentastic Gardenia augusta, pink jasmine, Hall’s honeysuckle, French and English lavender, rosemary, Eureka lemon trees, and Valencia orange trees. 9882 South Santa Monica Boulevard, (310) 551-2888, www.peninsula.com
4- Greystone Mansion
A 46,000-square-foot English Gothic Revival mansion, Greystone is best known to moviegoers as the Green Goblin’s manor house in Spider-Man (and in the upcoming Spider-Man 3). But the real star of the property is its stunning 18-acre park, which was designed by Paul Thiene. The mansion is open to the public only during the month of November, but the picturesque terraced Mediterranean gardens are an unexpected free refuge and are often filled with artists and writers looking to be inspired by the very un-Californian, E.M. Forster-ish surroundings. The park is open daily, ten a.m. to six p.m. Free. 905 Loma Vista Drive, (310) 550-4796
5- Frédéric Fekkai/Café 440
Perched above the Giorgio Armani and Polo Ralph Lauren shops on Rodeo Drive, this Italianate rooftop-terrace café — with cypress trees in planters and iron patio furniture — is open to the public but used mostly by the clients of the adjacent salon. The best people-watching from this deck may not be over the railing but across the patio to where stars could be waiting for their highlights to set — Fekkai works his magic on Renée Zellweger, Salma Hayek, Scarlett Johansson, and Naomi Watts, among others. Open 8:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m., Tuesday through Saturday. 440 Rodeo Drive, Third Floor, (310) 273-5440, www.fredericfekkai.com
