Catwoman: Movie Critic!

[misskittyclaws.livejournal.com]

And I thought the rooftops back home were crowded.

So I watched a little film called Batman Begins (can barely type that with a straight face) this weekend.  I'd promised to give my opinion as something of an expert on the subject matter, and so...

It was weird.  Not bad, but not... right.  But not really wrong, either.  I mean, Christian Bale doesn't really look like Bruce (but he looks like Christian Bale, so not complaining.)  The villains were a bit watered down, especially Crane who so shouldn't ever be cast as someone that pretty.  Ugh.  And they kept saying Ra's wrong.  But they kind of got the feel of the grit of Gotham, at least a little.  And the drive and the demons?  That's definitely a part of Batman.

So thanks for the loan, Andrew, but I think I'll pass on watching any more.  Because Bruce is a... dear friend even if I didn't know him when he was that young, and it's disconcerting enough.  I know there's some Superman films and all sorts of funtime secret identity info on the Internet.  And while I sure as hell don't owe the alien or the fucking JLA anything, it still... it makes my world seem just a bit too much like it really could be fictional, if that makes sense.

Well that was a lot more introspective than I was expecting.  So, does this place have a gym or something?  With a nice strong punching bag?

Thanks again for the scrip.  Um, can you get me something for the shiny new morning sickness?  Of mutual benefit, I'd say.

The drugs do help with the nightmares, thank God.

Color me shocked that no one's asked The Question yet.  I owe myself some amount of money.

Yeah, you're prettier than that. And later they used Uma Thurman for Poison Ivy, which was super weird. DC kind of got the short end of the stick on adaptions.

Aww, that's sweet.

Twiggy the Bitch got Uma Thurman? Now that's just totally unfair. Not saying I'd necessarily pick her to play me, but she's way more me than Ivy.

...why am I even caring about this?

Oh hell, I give up. Any other fun casting choices I should know about?

George Clooney was a good Bruce... in a really bad film. I'm gonna stop now, it's probably a bad idea to torment pregnant ladies, especially ones who can rip me into pieces.

It's so nice that you're getting smarter! One day you'll be a real boy.

[misskittyclaws.livejournal.com]

Really? I don't know if I'd consider withholding information to be all that smart.

[giantego]

No, in Elle's case it's about the smartest move in the world. Once she gets started she will never. Ever. Stop.

But he already started and stopped. Apparently, I'm just that scary.

[giantego]

Oh, Andrew likes scary.

[misskittyclaws.livejournal.com]

Really? Doesn't seem like the type.

[giantego]

You need to get to know him better, then.

I'm eating for two. Doubt that will be a problem.

George Clooney? Meh.

I'm not going to rip you into pieces for answering a question that I asked. That would be tacky. So spill.
