I may have to seize the cat.

I wish he'd said Jewel Staite had read for it.

I love Summer, but Jewel would be a better Kitty. Also, Astonishing!Kitty looks hella-Jewel.

Also, also, every time Joss says something about Kitty being the prototype for his girl heroes, it bristles me a bit. He called her the proto-Buffy once, and I wanted to yell at him. Because Kitty Pryde is so obviously proto-Willow, though I could see her argued as proto-River. But proto-Buffy? I don't see it.

In any case, I believe in Summer Glau, and I trust Joss enough that if he says she'd be a good Kitty, she would, but I'd rather see Jewel do it, myself. I guess she might be too old (but not if Maggie Grace isn't, and it of course depends entirely on what time in her life she's supposed to be).

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

Katie Stuart is Kitty Pryde.

GS: If you had to choose between kicking evil in the head or the behind, which would you choose, and why? Minsc: I'm not sure I understand the question. I have two feet, do I not? You do not take a small plate when the feast of evil welcomes seconds.

I wish he'd said Jewel Staite had read for it.

Now this I could totally get behind. I won't be upset if Summer gets it, but I don't get a "Yes, that's brilliant" feeling about it. Though, honestly, I'd imagine the movie is going to feature classic, teenage Kitty which doesn't match up so well with Jewel in my mind.

Yes. I can't think of anyone for Teenage Kitty. (except tralf, and I don't think she's got an agent or anything)

ita, Katie was Kitty in X2, and Sumela Kay played her in X-Men. I have to say, we didn't see either of them long enough to convince me she was "the one."

Summer would be a fine Kitty Pryde. But a different one. I hope if they've got Colossus in it that they bring back the guy from X2. He was perfect.

Anyway. Firefly. Good show. Love it.

How do I get my sister to watch it? I'm thinking of tying her down and holding her eyes open a la Clockwork Orange. But not.

Oh, I know. I wasn't pulling the name out of nowhere. She wasn't in it for long, but I watched in The Crow: Stairway to Heaven and she was great. I have a distinct fondness for her.

Just as long as we don't end up with Bledel.

Sorry. I didn't realize you meant she is Kitty, I thought you meant "iMDB says so."

All this time, I thought Hunter was a bitch. Turns out she was just hungry.

Now Nikki Reed as Kitty Pryde, that could be interesting.

Hey. New board.

Now Nikki Reed as Kitty Pryde, that could be interesting.

Meh. I'd rather see Evan Rachel Wood, as I said over in Movies.

Serenity needs to get here faster, in other news. I'm ready.

Embrace the idea that we are the leaders we've been looking for. Grace Lee Boggs

Been ready. Missed my one shot of preview. Want the movie yesterday. Ok, not yesterday, because then I would have missed it, but tomorrow or next week would be good. Alas, I shall wait.

The more I learn, the more I realize how little I know.

A positive review of Serenity from someone who didn't like the DVD set. No spoilers. [link]

"Whedon's big-screen directorial debut is smart, funny, assured and just plain good. What's more, it makes Star Wars look like vacant, plastic eye candy in comparison."
