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

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.

Do the math.
Catwoman = DC Comics = Time Warner = EW

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.

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?

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?

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).

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.

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.
