Yet more superheroes
I like it when comic books get made into movies. So long as they're not Batman or Superman. Because I already know about those superheroes, and I want to know about the ones I don't, like Daredevil, Hellraiser (Hellblazer? I forget...), the X-Men, Spawn, the Punisher, and whoever else there is out there. You know, since I didn't grow up reading comic books and all. So I really want to see The Fantastic Four. Because that looks awesome. (I'm such a sucker for explosions...)
Its 'based on the film' book is already out and I read the back cover. I'd been under the impression that Susan Storm was the token female in the group and completely useless. Apparently they made her a doctor in the movie. (Geneticist?) You know, at least in the comic book, they didn't try to pretend the pretty blonde woman was there for anything but eye candy. Apparently the casting director, and then the guys who decide on his choices, think Jessica Alba can look like a doctor. (Really, all I'm seeing is "Hellooooo, Nurse!")
If you ask me, they should have stuck with the pretty socialite the original Susan Storm was if they were going to have young Miss Alba try playing a late twenty-something somewhat happily married to a genius. At least then we'd know that she was cast merely for her ability to look good in spandex(and I'm really not seeing the attraction, though that could just be because I'm too lazy to look for Jessica Alba as Susan Storm as Invisible Woman in spandex) or else her ability to cross her arms under her chest. Really not buying the doctor thing there. Seriously. She looks fresh out of Dawson's Creek. (For those of you who were deaf throughout your high school years, this was our generation's 90210 crossed with some soap. Soap opera, before you start wondering about Fight Club, Pug.)
And I still don't see why heroes have to save the world by dressing in spandex. If I'm going to drool over a character in a movie, I'd at least want him to pretend to look like someone I could meet on the street. I really doubt I'm going to meet anyone on the street dressed in spandex (besides dorks standing in line in their costumes for superhero movies).
Oh, and Liz? Stan Lee has an appearance in the movie. Feel free to squeal.
(I'm kinda wondering why there would be a postal worker in the movie.)
