So come, my friends, be not afraid/We are so lightly here/It is in love that we are made; In love we disappear

Huh? Really? I'm assuming it's one of the originals, but which one? Current continuity?

Streetwise possibly half-Italian hooker who steals her way into high society where she dates Bruce Wayne, has all sorts of random adventures, some kind of Mental Health Crisis involving shit I'm not too clear on because except in the rebooted title, she kind of bores me, comes back as Reluctant Heroine of the Oppressed East Side Poor, sidekicks include Recovering Addict Lesbian with Cute Girlfriend attachment and Drunkard Ex-Cop PI?

Edited to add, if none of the above, then nope, probably NOT based on the Catwoman we know.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Okay, ow.

I know Michelle Pfeiffer's Catwoman worked for a nefarious cosmetics company, and had the near-death thing. Did any non-Elseworlds Catwoman have actual cat-given powers?

"Mister Spock is on his fanny, sir. Reports heavy damage."

I liked the Catwoman who was the wife of a drunken abuser and turned to crime as a form of self-esteem-raising revenge. No magic, no baroque plotting (I mean, except for the gadgetry and costumes) -- just "Fuck you, cruel world".

I like that she was perfectly sane, and just rejected the normal order of things because it didn't keep her husband from smacking her around.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!

I'm seeing The Village tonight. It will take $7.75 away from me. And I'll probably like it, considering I'm one of the few Unbreakable fans here.

"You see? THAT's what they want. Love, and a bit with a dog."

I liked Unbreakable ok.

"We are the Goon Squad and we're coming to town...Beep! Beep!" - David Bowie, "Fashion"

I liked it too, but from what I know I think M.'s played himself out this time.

I look more rad than Lutheranism

Unbreakable is, it seems, the new gerund. Or Atkins diet.

Art Crawl!!!

I'm thinking of going to see The Manchurian Candidate on Sunday and if I wake up and get going early enough (I'd have to catch an 8 am bus) making it a political double feature of sorts by going to the Barack Obama rally beforehand.

"You see? THAT's what they want. Love, and a bit with a dog."

I now have a morbid curiosity to see The Village.

I hate giving up a hard earned 8 dollars to take such a chance, but I figure, at worst, my friends are excellent people to see an awful movie with.
