A place to talk about movies--Old and new, good and bad, high art and high cheese. It's the place to place your kittens on the award winners, gossip about upcoming fims and discuss DVD releases and extras. Spoiler policy: White font all plot-related discussion until a movie's been in wide release two weeks, and keep the major HSQ in white font until two weeks after the video/DVD release.

"I remember when they eventually introduced that drug kingpin who murdered people and smuggled drugs inside snakes and I was like 'Finally. A normal person.'” —RahvinDragand

I'm unprepared to despair if Stewart and McKellen are still signed on for any eventual filming. Though it would be just our luck if Halle does a 180° and gets all "I was BORN to play Storm!" now.

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

He wants a part in it -- which is nice. The bit about it being in limbo worry me.

have you noticed that Dean Cain has a tv series on CBS this fall?

I did not notice that. I will have to track.

I would so crack up if they offered Cain the part.

Thrive to spite them

Halle Berry wants to play Catwoman again. So says MSN's gossip bit.

She likes cracking the whip.

I thought I read that was mostly CGI...

Thrive to spite them

Here's the quote:

"I think I'm really hoping to do another 'Catwoman,'" Berry told reporters ahead of the movie's German premiere.

Berry, who slinks through the movie in midriff-baring black leather, pointed to the satisfaction that comes from a good whip-crack.

"Everybody just wanted to crack that whip," she said.
"When you get your first crack, you just want to keep on cracking."

I don't think she was talking about actually hitting anything...just the sound it made.

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

I thought I read that was mostly CGI...

If it's not, they did an incredibly good job of making a real whip look very, very fake. (Ditto w/ the stunts, which I've been told Halle can actually do -- there was apparently some VH1 or MTV making of thing where she was leaping all around and doing her own kicking and punching. But in the finished film, it really looks like they're desperately having to cut around her incompetance.)

Does he? I always thought he was cute, and pretty good in the role, all things considered.

Hitting things is kinda easier than making the noise, at least in my bullwhip experience.
