I don't disagree that Lois shouldn't be a male-fantasy otherwordly type beauty (whatever that means to you, or him, him, or him), but I have to maintain that you can't decide chemistry on looks alone. My original statement is that chemistry between two people either exists or it doesn't. You can throw a half dozen of your described ideal "real" type at Henry, and some of them will have "it" with him and some of them won't. The reverse is true. You won't know that until they test. That was my point.
And by your logic, poor Henry will never have a hot leading lady (tongue-in-cheek)
1) I didn't talk about looks alone (although that's part of it), I talked about "screen quality," which is every quality that the person gives off. The way they look is a large factor in that, but it's about how they look specifically, what type of feeling do their specific features conjure? What is their voice like, style of speech? How do they carry themselves? Etc.
Note: (I hate it when people either don't read my posts, don't understand my posts, or try to spin my posts into something I didn't say in order to favor their arguement. It gets really tedious having to repeat myself and say, "No, I didn't say that, you're drawing an argument out of thin air.")
Also, don't try to pretend that "male fantasy" is so objective. Olivia Wilde? C'mon. Mila Kunis? These are exotic, sunsual-looking women. That's exactly why they're getting roles, because they appeal to the majority of the public, which Hollywood uses to make money off them. When we're talking about that high a level of hotness, there's no subjectivity. Otherwise, anyone can say anything, which in debate terms in bull****. You could say, "I find Angelina Jolie to be homely, that's just my taste," even though she's famous for being sultry and sexy. So let's just get that out of the way right now. I'm not going to get into a bogus debate of subjectivity here with people who are gonna pathetically try to claim, "I don't find Olivia Wilde
that sexy," when that's what she's famous for. Homey don't play 'dat.
2) Some actresses within my semi-broad category of "real" (although I wrote more details than that) might have more chemistry with Cavill than others, yes, but that depends on each individual actresses' specific combination of qualities and we weren't talking about specific actresses, we were talking about predicting chemistry in general, so I said, "This general type will have chemistry with Cavill within these two roles." Again, you're not grasping my post so I'm having to repeat myself. I don't want to do this again.
And by your logic, poor Henry will never have a hot leading lady (tongue-in-cheek)
"Within these two roles" is key. Again, you're spinning my words into something that wasn't there to desperately, shallowly favor your arguments.
Within the roles of Superman and Lois --
those characters specifically -- everything I'm saying is true. If you want to go make a Hitchcock-style thriller with Henry Cavill in the Cary Grant role, then obviously the type of chemistry he needs with his leading lady is gonna be completely different, so don't you dare try to distort my words into sweeping statements that I would never be ignorant enough to make. If you want a sleek, stylish thriller with a leading lady who's mysterious matched with the handsome, capable, yet trusting and idealistic Cavill, if you want the chemistry to be "steamy" or "cool" then obviously you'd cast a different type of actresss, not the same woman who would play Lois Lane
because that's a completely different role! For God's sake!
My point was this entire "Well, we won't know until the screen test" thing is bull because:
1) You and I aren't gonna see the screen test, so we may as well leave this board and never come back and
2) Yes you will know before the screen test! because if you know what you're talking about, you can tell who's gonna work well together.
If my predictions are too general for you,
Dar, and you'd really like me to get specific name some names and I'll tell you how well I'd think they'd do with Cavill and as Lois in general. Like I said, you can save my post and put it to the test later: whoever is cast, I'm gonna end up being right about. Not that you seem to respect my opinion in the first place, but as I stated, I've been right every time before when everyone else called me an idiot, so I have a pretty good track record.
i love that people are already claiming this actress will not have chemistry with henry
it is hilarious LOL
What's hilarious is blindly thinking that all things are equal, which they aren't. Something only appears complicated or "magical" or "unknown" when you don't have the knowledge to understand how it works.
This whole 'too sexy' thing is ridiculous.
What's ridiculous is thinking that every woman who you feast your eyes on in a movie should be smokin' hot just because that's the default setting without thinking about what would actually be best for the story.
Who is your pick for Lois? All your responses are so well thought out, you seem to know what you're talking about.
There's no one who I think is so perfect that I'm willing to endorse her (especially after I've talked up how much I know what I'm talking about, haha), but I'll wait and see if
Dar throws out some names for me.
). But there were almost NO aspects of Lois Lane as I understand her in Kate Bosworth's portrayal.
