The Dark Knight The Rachel Dawes thread

[Crooklyn]

Here's the deal with the looks thing,this is an action/adventure movie,these types of films often have a hottie female love interest,now in this case Maggie is an acquired taste,not as universal as say Rachel Weisz in the Mummy movies or Megan Fox in the upcoming Transformers movies or indeed Jessica Alba in the FF films.

so some guys are wishing since there is only one female character that she was a bit more eye candy and her being a ADA really has little to do with it as pointed out earlier.

As long as we try to keep our views on her looks diplomatic

Well said.

I...could've done better---but well said.

I'm sorry, but i'm not getting all the 'They look alike' and 'They could be sisters" analysis you guys are making about Maggie and katie..

Looks wise, it's like comparing apples to bananas...

First of all, nobody said they look "alike". We said they have "a similar look," which means quite a different thing.

Secondly, you chose a glamor shot of Katie (which is not how she actually looks) and a much more candid shot of Maggie, which is hardly fair as a comparison.

Observe:

Take a look! The resemble each other!

 

[The Watchman]

I don't find either particularly attractive, but I do see a resemblance myself.

 

[metkalfe]

I dont see any resemblance at all. Having sex and nude scenes does not equal top caliber acting on Maggie's part.IMHO.

 

[The Watchman]

None at all? Now you're just being absurd, especially with your childish assumptions.

 

[Paste Pot Pete]

They resemble each other about as much as two actresses could without one looking like an impersonator of the other.

For one thing, they look a hell of a lot more alike then Michael Keaton, Val Kilmer and George Clooney ever did. At least I could buy Rachel as being the same character.

It was the best they could do if they had to recast... thats why I can get over it...

And we have a new winner now for dumbest statement ever made on the Hype.

IMO of course.

Gotta put in the IMO. Otherwise, someone could take it personally.

looks like some before/after shots of heroine addiction or something.

IMO of course.

Quite.

But it doesn't rule it out. Holmes' performance on the other hand...

Looks like someone stole my passive aggressive 'tude. IMO of course.

It's kinda funny. I never thought Maggie Gyllenhaal was all that hot, then I saw Stranger Than Fiction, and now I want her more than Elmer wants Bugs dead in a bag.

Pfft...I had the whole passive aggressive thing down before you was ever a Ledger fangirl.

 

[CConn]

Crooklyn started annoying me sometime in 2005.

So far, he's yet to stop.

 

[Miranda Fox]

LIES!

 

[Crooklyn]

So yea....how about that Maggie girl...

..you guys are so easy to derail threads. Shame shame.

But it's my only talent...

My first post was totally on topic.

Yeah, but it involved Will Ferrell, so umm..

Remember when Will Ferrell was going to be the Joker?

Good times.

I don't want to shoot her in the face like Fudd, sexually that is, but that's the movie where I first saw her charm as well, so it's funny you said that. I don't think she's hot, but I don't think Holmes is either, so they're on the same playing field on that one, not that looks matter to me, if I want hot I'll go watch porn, if I want a good narrative I want a capable actress and some semblance of aethetic appeal.

Those were the dark ages, scoundrel.

The only thing that was worse, was the rumor about Edge playing Egghead.
