Host ,'Why We Fight'
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'm just kind of amazed that people would somehow stumble across that particular fetish in the first place, nevermind develop an entire community dedicated to it.
How soon they forget - "I'm wearing a rubber glove on my head right now and it's fucking great!"
Scifi Wire says that Variety confirms Routh as new Supes and Julian McMahon talks about Dr. Doom's origins -- apparently they are going to differ from the comics-version.
Huh, further down on that page there's a rumor that AA and CC are both in the running for Lois Lane. [link]
Why so many of them effectively twelve years old?
Huh?
Mischa Barton as Lois Lane? Aren't we being a bit young? Admittedly, Keri Russell has had plenty of time to age since being Felicity, but they're still casting Smallville age actors.
Gotcha.
Well, if they're going with a 25 year-old for Superman, it would make sense to try to get someone around that age for Lois. Still, I agree it is weird that they're looking at people who, for the most part play, teenagers.
While I think Amy has about as much acting talent as the rest of that list combined, I'm not sure I can see her as a wisecracking Lois Lane who has a snarky rivalry/attraction thing going on with Clark Kent.
Hmmm, wonder who might be good at that sort of thing?
Routh is two damned years younger than Welling. I'm all sorts of excited about the new Batman movie, and pessimistic about Superman. Isn't that Supes demographic already satisfied by Smallville? Why not make a Smallville movie?
I'm telling myself that the relative importance of looking good in the suit is a lot greater for Superman than for Batman. You need someone with good acting chops to do the tortured obsessive result of childhood trauma, but for overgrown boyscout I'll settle for not wandering around looking stunned that he's no longer in a studio modelling underwear.
