ugh. that was my first reaction and it remains even more so after her atrocious oscar hosting stint. of all the people they were considering for the new Catwoman in the next Batman movie, she was the only one i was actively hoping it wouldn't be.
i just don't like her at all. she's one of those people that rubs me the wrong way, i have to say it. she seems completely full of herself and irritating, in interviews and in movies. not to mention i can't imagine her as Catwoman in the slightest. Catwoman has to be sexy, right? isn't that like, the number one quality she has to have? so they must be going a different direction then, 'cause they forfeited that trait right off the bat.
actually, in christopher nolan's batman movies, the women are by far the weakest characters. not really just his batman movies, but all his movies, period. he seems to have a difficult time writing female characters, because they are ALWAYS boring, bland, and two dimensional. i don't see this working out. it's not like Batman Begins was that great anyway, i think maybe The Dark Knight was a fluke.
again, ugh.

The Oscar Show
i'm back! been a while but i'm back to regular updates from now on. first things first, the Oscars.
well, what can i say? except that i think it was quite possibly the worst oscarcast i have ever seen in my life, and i'm not kidding. god what the hell were they thinking with anne hathaway and james franco? he was a lifeless corpse onstage and she was the manic, over excited cheerleader. it was seriously painful to watch, and excruciatingly boring. they have probably replaced david letterman as worst hosts in oscar history, so at least there was one person laughing sunday night. i should give franco a little more of the blame, the dude looked shellshocked and/or stoned the entire night. why did he even agree to do it? at least she was trying, probably too hard to make up for his being a total statue.
it wasn't just them either. the whole show was shoddily produced, with random backgrounds to old movies thrown on screen for no apparent reason- it was like they had no idea what they wanted to do with each segment. and that kids choir they brought out at the end? why??? what the hell was that for? and why do it at the end, when people are literally on their way out the door?
what a disaster. it was completely understandable that billy crystal received a standing ovation when he came out, reminding the audience what a real host looks like, and probably igniting hope that he'd take over from there. even the hologram of a dead bob hope was funnier.
actually, i've been saying for years that conan o'brien needs to be offered a chance to do this. he was a great emmy host, and he's exactly the kind of billy crystal-esque, song and dance man they like. plus, he's, you know, funny and can actually do jokes during the ceremony. he's also not mean in a ricky gervais way so there's no reason to fear that. i'm telling you, conan is their guy, he'd be PERFECT for this kind of thing. if they don't ask him to do it next year they're out of their minds.
as for the winners themselves? they were good, even though my predictions were pretty disastrous. king's speech won, and it's a good winner but probably not as good as the social network. or true grit. the acting winners were great (i LOVE colin firth), but i kinda hate melissa leo now. she's totally obnoxious and full of herself. the shorts screwed me over, like they do every year. i've said this before too: why do they not take live action short, doc short, and animated short, remove them from the telecast and dump them in the technical ceremony? PLEASE, for the love of god, get rid of the shorts and i might actually stand a chance at winning one of these oscar pools someday.
