Catwoman
 
So the mail comes today and there's my Entertainment Weekly sitting in the pile, with none other than Halle Berry dressed in a cat suit placed squarely on the cover. And I just wanted to barf. I mean, I have nothing against her really unlike a lot of folks, but man does she look stupid. Why couldn't they just get michelle pfeifer back :(

Isn't Michelle Pfeiffer a little old for the role? Although, I agree with you that Halle Berry doesn't seem right to be Catwoman.

I just saw that cover on the EW web site; I'll probably get my issue in the mail tonight. Ye gods! I love EW usually but out of all the cool movies coming out in 2004 couldn't they have picked a less, I don't know, suck-tacular one? Then again they might be smart, it's certainly a way to get people to read it and see just how awful this movie really is going to be.

Can someone please post a pic? so we can ALL discuss?

It's small but gets the point across.

Good grief... I'd rather watch Garfield.

Do the math.

Catwoman = DC Comics = Time Warner = EW

Is the last word supposed to be pronounced "eeeeewwww!"?

Kal-El 01-16-04 12:29 PM

That's disgusting. Totally disgusting.

:yack:

rushmore223 01-16-04 12:34 PM

Who was it exactly that designed the Catwoman suit, and what did this person do BEFORE they got the labotomy?

See Time Warner really is an equal Opportunity Employer.

Exactly what I was gonna say.

What's even more amusing is the magazine ripped Halle Berry for how terrible she looked right after the pics were leaked with her in full costume.

PixyJunket 01-16-04 12:44 PM

Ha HA!

fumanstan 01-16-04 03:41 PM

What's strange is that i havent seen one person say "wow, that costume looks great!" Makes you wonder whose making these decisions up at Warner Bros.

I miss when Halle Berry used to bother acting (look at Losing Isaiah if you don't believe me). She's made a sad mockery of her former self. And, didn't she say the only reason she was in a comicbook basedmovie (regarding X-Men/X2) was becauseit was the only role offered to her because she's black? Well then if she does, erroniously (*cough*Christopher Reeve*cough*) believe this to be true, shouldn't she have felt insulted when she was offered this role?

...So what you're saying is Christopher Reeve is black?? :confused:

Groucho 01-16-04 04:07 PM

I think he's saying that Christopher Reeve is a sheep.

:lol: No, what I'm saying is there are plenty of white actors (Christopher Reeve being a prime example) that got comic book roles so her getting offered Storm was not because the studio was looking down upon her (as she insinuated) because she was black. Hell, lot's white actors get rejected for comic book roles (the studio didn't even want Christopher Reeve for Superman) so her claiming that she got such a role due to racism is ridiculous.

Now you understand what I was getting at?

necros 01-16-04 04:53 PM

Well Storm is black in the comic, isn't she?

RocShemp 01-16-04 05:08 PM

Yes but her insinuation was not regarding the character's ethnic background but that it was a comic book character at all is what had offended her (not enough, it seems, for her to reject the paycheck that came along with said role). Besides, Kingpin is white in the comics but Michael Clark Duncan was able toland the role (and, unlike a vocal many, I hadno problem with this since I felt he fit the role perfectly).

I just felt that insinuation on Halle's part was childish and an excuse not to do as well as she's capable of (yes, I do believe she's a good actress when she wants to be).

Jackskeleton 01-16-04 05:40 PM

AWFUL.

jaeufraser 01-16-04 06:45 PM

Eh I'll wait for the preview to really judge this film. While Halle does look ridiculous in that costume, the director does have a unique visual sense and might be able to make that look good set against certain backdrops.

On the other hand, this movie stars Halle Berry and Sharon Stone.

TREX1993 01-17-04 12:37 AM

Ass...

Here's another pic of the costume:

wm lopez 01-17-04 01:24 AM

It doesn't look like Halle in that costume.
Her eyes look different.
It's not that Halle got the part that bothers me it's that chessy costume.
Looks like something like another superhero movie that went straight to video called THE SCORPION.
Catwoman looks to be this year's Hulk where it's getting bad fan reaction before the movie opens.

tanman 01-17-04 01:29 AM

In the words of my sister. "That's not Catwoman. It looks like it should be porn or something."

B.A. 01-17-04 01:43 AM

That thing is craptastic! How could she even agree to wear that? I'm sure she had approval on the costume to some extent...
