'Life of the Party'
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.
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.
Hilariously, neither McKellan or Jackman have priced themselves out-- of course, they would pay gold bullion to keep Jackman.
Well, there were stories that Halle and Singer were at each other's throats during X-2, so she probably deliberately priced herself out - it's not like she was getting the screen time that befits a "star" or her magnitude.

Anyone know how long the main players were contracted? Was it only the first two?
Hey -- that's true. I guess it's less what Halle costs but how much they are willing to pay her.
Danny Deckchair might be fun -- plus - Miranda Otto.
I checked the movie's website and it opens in wide release on the 27th.
But isn't Brian Singer at everyone's throats?
Joss would be such a change!
But isn't Brian Singer at everyone's throats?
Is he? He's a FOAF.
What's a FOAF?
