My alter ego could be comic book guy with all the useless comic book knowledge I have. This movie will not do well, methinks.

While on a journey, Chuang Tzu found an old skull, dry and parched.
With sorrow, he questioned and lamented the end of all things.
When he finished speaking, he dragged the skull over and, using it for a pillow, lay down to sleep.
In the night, the skull came to his dreams and said, 'You are a fool to rejoice in the entanglements of life.'
Chuang Tzu couldn`t believe this and asked, 'If I could return you to your life, you would want that, wouldn`t you?'
Stunned by Chuang Tzu`s foolishness, the skull replied, 'How do you know that it is bad to be dead?'

Poor Sharon Stone.  She really is talented, yet gets cast in such awful things -- sort of like Sean Young.  Both of these actresses have a reputation of mental instability in Hollywood, so only risk-taking/first-time directors currently seem willing to cast them.  This is a damn shame, as both Stone and Young are incredibly interesting to watch onscreen.
Re. Catwoman.  Release it on DVD as a double-feature with Battlefield Earth, and you've got something!
Worst reviews I've seen in a year for a mainstream out here in the Denver press.

Does Berry seem a little too skinny to be an "it" girl to anyone else?

She looks damn fine to me.  She just needs a better script & director.

Any money this movie makes will be from pubescent boys. I have a feeling that posters of Berry in the Catwoman suit will be very big sellers, even if the movie doesn't make much.

I find this movie annoying for the simple reason that there are plenty of good, established comic book heroes, created and developed by people who knew what they were doing, who have yet to get a movie, but Hollywood has opted to create a new heroine by lifting a classic villainess from a crappy sequel, where she'd already gotten the Hollywood treatment, and altering her even further, to the point where she's a completely different character riding on an established name.

One sentence, ladies and gentlemen!

Just the same, I'm fighting the urge to see it just so I can criticize it properly, but I don't want to add to the gross. Had the same problem with Fahrenheit 9/11.

I'll grant her perfection of face, but it seems like there should be more going on further down if we're supposed to be drooling with our eyes popping out.
