Snyder ,'Chosen'
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 sacrifice myself so that others may be warned.
Jessica, I'm grateful for your sacrifice, but it was so unnecessary. This was like standing too close to Bikini Atoll to be able to tell us that nuclear war is a bad idea.
That said, I think I'm going to look for a theater where De Lovely plays about the same time as Catwoman so my money can go to the former while I observe the train wreck.
Is it just me, or do these kinds of stinkwads come from Warner more than the other studios? (see: Earth, Battlefield)
I think as long as Warner has the HP series, they'll get by.

Warner is one of the big boys, and I think all the big boys have this problem. It's a question of sheer volume - they produce so many pictures a year, they're going to have a larger number of "pedestrian or worse" offerings.
the skintight catsuit
Am I wrong, or are slashed-up leather pants and a completely impractical slingback bra not, technically, a catsuit? I mean, it's entirely possible they kept the catsuit for an amazing reveal 1/2 way into the movie, but this does not strike me as the kind of movie that is smart enough to keep anything back for a reveal.
Michelle Pfeiffer, now that was a catsuit.
It's a catsuit because Catwoman's wearing it, I fear.
But none of that snippet makes any sense to me with the outfit we've seen her wear.

Nope. That's the catsuit.
Well, that's the eventual catsuit. There's a makeshift one she wears while she's still testing/discovering her powers, but it's basically the same outfit with slightly less skin showing.
I wonder -- if it's that terrible (and I believe you), why are they giving it the Big Summer Release instead of quietly sneaking it out next Spring?
I suppose it depends on the budget. It's still possible, if it opens big enough, for a movie to make back its budget in the opening weekend, right? Before the really bad word of mouth has the chance to get around.

Because it's big budget and stars an award winning actress?
