Herc at AICN has the same quote but includes a quote from Avi Arad of Marvel.

Don't know if it was there before but on SciFi there is now a link to Joss talking about his interest in making Buffy and/or Angel television movies. Even though they may not include Buffy or Angel, which is interesting.

Going back to the "who's the new..." conversation. Odd as it may sound, I can really see Summer Glau as the "new" Audrey Hepburn.

The best part about Seth's commentary on Can't Hardly Wait is the fact that he speaks in a British accent for the first twenty minutes for no reason in particular.

Also, his commentary is just ridiculously generous. He has something kind to say about someone's performance in just about every single scene, and by "someone" I pretty much mean "every single person in the whole damn thing, including people whose scenes got cut entirely, at which point he'll describe the cut scene and say how good the person was." And if there's nothing worth praising in a particular performance in CHW, he reminisces about something that person did in the past and how great it was. He's unfailingly sweet and kind and melty-making.

melty-making

My favorite kind of making!

That brand of good heartedness always chokes me up. Not so much because it comes from a 'celebrity', but because there is such a paucity of it in the world at large.

Including, I hate to admit it, in me.

Seth Green is scheduled to be on the Daily Show next Thursday night.

Whee!

Catwoman star Halle Berry may not be reprising her role in the second X- Men sequel - because she's reportedly "priced herself out". The sexy 37-year-old - who plays Storm in the hit sci-fi franchise - demanded a more important role and a bigger paycheck. But producers of X-Men 3, set for release in 2006, were unable to meet Berry's demands. A source tells British magazine OK!, "She priced herself right out".

Let's keep our fingers crossed. I love how there are rumours about her and only her not making it back.

As long as Hugh Jackman returns I'll be happy. Well, him and Patrick Stewart. And Ian McKellen, of course, in all his purple caped glory.

OK, everyone but Halle would be lovely to see in their original roles, again. I don't have a huge Halle hate-on, but I never bought her as Storm.

If you'd told me ten or so years ago that I'd prefer Famke Jansen to Halle Berry, I'd be very surprised.

I'm reserving my opinion on whether or not she can act. But I can say with conviction that she doesn't always act. And that the stiffer of her choices appear laden with a pomposity that blends with what I see of her persona. So I can't get a warm fuzzy.

Also, she ruined my girl.

After rewatching Kill Bill Vol 1 a couple of days ago, I'm going to be somewhat heretical and suggest Vivica Fox for Storm. She's got some major ass kicking skills.

She's been in so much crap, though. I've heard it said there's not a movie so bad that Vivica can't make it worse. However, she did not have that effect on KB.
