"imitation is the highest form of flattery."

Flattery!!
That's the word i was trying desperately to find in my cluttered mind..
I mean really, imitation is the highest form of a compliment, that sounds so lame..
it's just one of those quotes that echoes through the ages really isn't it..?
As for Iron Man and Hulk, those threads are DEAD (in their forums) so i never really get a chance to read anything more about them, but i've got high hopes, especially for Hulk, but ESPECIALLY for Iron Man..
Downey Jr as Stark? Magnifique..
The rest of the casting sounds really good too..
Except..
While we're on the subject and my mind is going 0.14 miles a minute..
What is the deal with the female casting in comic movies???
Sorry, this is gonna go wayyy off topic..
Gwyneth Paltrow, she's a bit of a hottie, a good actress but doesn't really seem to fit the role of a comic book movie chick..
Eva Mendes was it in Ghostrider? She was HORRIBLE!! hot, yes, let's not get crazy, but lame in the movie..
Katie Holmes in BB??
Any chick in a Batman after Pfieffer (so Kidman & McPhereson)..
The original Lois Lane Margot Kidder??
The new Lois Lane (what was her name), she was miscast to the max along with Routh..
Jessica Alba is a hottie too, way way hot, but not suited to the role of Sue Storm..
I hated Dunst as MJ in Spiderman..
The exceptions would be Jennifer Connelly (cos she's GORGEOUS) in the Hulk plus made it all seem real & mmm Connelly, but in that case, the movie was below average, not the casting or female acting..
Jennifer Garner as Electra for the same reason as above plus she has some decent acting chops & a fit bod for the role of a sexy assassin..
Basinger, OOH PFIEFFER!! For sure!! Pfieffer was so good in Returns..
I dunno, while my "comic movies & chicks in them" juices were flowing, they have seemingly dried up in writing this post..
But you get my point, right..?
Sometimes they are horribly, movie-ruiningly miscast..
Anyway, TDK!!
Maggie will do a good job and break the "chicks in comic movies are lame" run..
