That's not what making out sounds like -- unless I'm doing it wrong?

Willow ,'Same Time, Same Place'


Buffista Movies 4: Straight to Video  

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.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

She's busy filming V for Vendetta right now. Apparently she's excited about shaving her head.

Joss Whedon and cast of Serenity are at the Wizard Convention in Long Beach this weekend plus LOTS of comic people.

Go click that link and scroll to the bottom.

My dog, the "autograph area" at these conventions is always such a saaaad collection of washed up has beens.

*She* is? I think you got your pronouns wrong, O 'bot.

Well, I'm certainly looking forward to it, and have been since she signed for the role. I should probably white font that for people unfamiliar with it.

Always Anti-fascist!

I think Natalie Portman is boring. It's like "So, what? Perfect lips. Yahoo." I'm not sure why...Keira Knightley also has gorgeous lips, too, but I'm not as bored by her. And yes, I am awfully opinionated today.

Shit's all sorts of different now.

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

I'd be disappointed in Joss if he cast Eliza. She's a brunette who's done an action role. That does not a Wonder Woman make.

Ficht nicht mit Der Raketemensch!

Angelina can do kind. And she looks like a bizarre semi-alien sex goddess. But I bet they look carefully at Rachel Bilson in a Year 1 scenario, too.

move out and draw fire

I'm betting they go for "it" girls first - Rachel Weisz, Keira Knightley, etc. They won't cast a non-white actress, which is a shame because there aren't too many white actresses with the physicality for WW.

But gah, if they just go for coloration we could end up with Liv Tyler.

Hmm...Hilary Swank?

Maybe this whole casting problem is the reason it's taken so long to get a Wonder Woman movie off the ground.

So come, my friends, be not afraid/We are so lightly here/It is in love that we are made; In love we disappear

Angelina can do kind. And she looks like a bizarre semi-alien sex goddess.

She doesn't ooze it, though. I can think of many, many comic book heroines she should play, but Wonder Woman isn't one of them.

But gah, if they just go for coloration we could end up with Liv Tyler.

Hmm. Oddly, she'd kind of work, but I don't think her acting is strong enough. Then again, it's stronger than some of the names I've seen people on the web suggesting. (Charisma Carpenter? Are people COMPLETELY mental?)

Hmm...Hilary Swank?

It's so outside of her narrow range I could laugh. (And outside of her narrow range, she's one of the worst actresses I've seen on screen.)
