Kate Bosworth is going to be the worst Lois Lane ever.

But I'm excited that Hugh Laurie is going to be in the film.

― Melissa W (Melissa W), Tuesday, 22 March 2005 19:11 (twenty-one years ago)

Parker Posey has just signed on to be Lex Luthor's right hand girl or something.

I'm not looking forward to Kevin Spacey smarming his way through Lex.

― Melissa W (Melissa W), Tuesday, 22 March 2005 19:11 (twenty-one years ago)

Hugh Laurie sucks with an American accent, though. I tried watching House but I found it too painful to listen to. He's as bad as the guy on Still Standing.

― Leon Bluth (Ex Leon), Tuesday, 22 March 2005 19:14 (twenty-one years ago)

Wait, what role is Laurie supposed to be?

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Tuesday, 22 March 2005 19:14 (twenty-one years ago)

Perry White

― Melissa W (Melissa W), Tuesday, 22 March 2005 19:16 (twenty-one years ago)

I think his American accent is fine. Sexy, even.

― Melissa W (Melissa W), Tuesday, 22 March 2005 19:16 (twenty-one years ago)

Okay, thank you -- for a quick horrified second I was all "Since when is HE playing Superman?"

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Tuesday, 22 March 2005 19:16 (twenty-one years ago)

Wait, Kevin Spacey and Parker Posey as an evil mastermind and his accomplice? There's no way that I'm going to get through this without giggling like crazy.

― mike h. (mike h.), Tuesday, 22 March 2005 19:18 (twenty-one years ago)

They were talking about casting Elisha Cuthbert as Lois Lane! WTF with casting blondes for the most ubiquitous brunette like ever!?!?

Last I had heard they were going to get Evangeline Lilly from LOST to play Lois...that would've been good...sad emotion tears go here now.

― nickalicious (nickalicious), Tuesday, 22 March 2005 19:20 (twenty-one years ago)

ummmm, what about X3???

Fuck a Superman.

― Victor Mackulous (nordicskilla), Tuesday, 22 March 2005 19:20 (twenty-one years ago)

I don't think Evangeline would have been able to play smart and sassy though. She has one mode...pensive and slightly pissed off.

― Melissa W (Melissa W), Tuesday, 22 March 2005 19:21 (twenty-one years ago)

The English guy (Matthew Vaughan?) who did Layer Cake is now directing X3. This Superman film looks really boring so far, cast wise.

― jocelyn (Jocelyn), Tuesday, 22 March 2005 19:22 (twenty-one years ago)

No Gene Hackman = no good.

― Alex in SF (Alex in SF), Tuesday, 22 March 2005 19:23 (twenty-one years ago)

I hope they tell the story of Kandor, the Bottle City.

― Huk-L, Tuesday, 22 March 2005 19:23 (twenty-one years ago)

Supposedly in the film Lois is going to have a child! WTF?

― Melissa W (Melissa W), Tuesday, 22 March 2005 19:24 (twenty-one years ago)

I put that in white text, but I suppose the board doesn't support that anymore.

― Melissa W (Melissa W), Tuesday, 22 March 2005 19:25 (twenty-one years ago)

Fuck a whole bunch of this movie, omg! The more I learn about it, the more it SUCKS!

― nickalicious (nickalicious), Tuesday, 22 March 2005 19:26 (twenty-one years ago)

Oh, and word is they're going to use stock footage of Marlon Brando as Jor-L!

― Huk-L, Tuesday, 22 March 2005 19:26 (twenty-one years ago)

I don't think Evangeline would have been able to play smart and sassy though

On the other hand, neither can Kate Bosworth. She'll just look emaciated and shiver, like one of those chihuahuas.

The supporting actors are okay, but the casting for Superman and LL seems very poor.

― Leon Bluth (Ex Leon), Tuesday, 22 March 2005 19:26 (twenty-one years ago)

I think Spacey will be hammily delightful as Luthor, though I was originally dismissive.

― Huk-L, Tuesday, 22 March 2005 19:27 (twenty-one years ago)

Supposedly in the film Lois is going to have a child! WTF?
And, in some Star Wars switcheroo, in the sequel it will turn out the daddy is Lex Luther, no?

Hugh Laurie sucks with an American accent
Instead of Hugh Laurie they should get Lee Evans.

― Ken L (Ken L), Tuesday, 22 March 2005 19:27 (twenty-one years ago)

Ugh, the least likeable kid from Detroit Rock City as Jimmy.

― nickalicious (nickalicious), Tuesday, 22 March 2005 19:27 (twenty-one years ago)

Thanks for the Kandor stuff, BTW. I've trying for the past month to think of how it got in the bottle. I forgot it was "stolen by Braniac."

― Ken L (Ken L), Tuesday, 22 March 2005 19:28 (twenty-one years ago)

And, in some Star Wars switcheroo, in the sequel it will turn out the daddy is Lex Luther, no?

*SPOILER*

Nah, it's Perry White's son's kid.

― Melissa W (Melissa W), Tuesday, 22 March 2005 19:29 (twenty-one years ago)

I think Spacey will be hammily delightful as Luthor, though I was originally dismissive.

I wanted Lex to be sexy and dangerous. I've been watching too much Smallville. Which, while it sucks, has a fantastic Lex.

― Melissa W (Melissa W), Tuesday, 22 March 2005 19:30 (twenty-one years ago)

Like sands through Kandor's hourglass, so go the days of Lois Lane.

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Tuesday, 22 March 2005 19:30 (twenty-one years ago)

Ned with teh funny! Let me buy you a pint when you're in town. Oh, wait.

― Ken L (Ken L), Tuesday, 22 March 2005 19:31 (twenty-one years ago)

Beyonce shold have played Lois Lane when she becomes black for one day, that would have been more entertaining than Kate Bosworth.

― Leon Bluth (Ex Leon), Tuesday, 22 March 2005 19:34 (twenty-one years ago)

Is Lex bald in Smallville?

― Jordan (Jordan), Tuesday, 22 March 2005 19:34 (twenty-one years ago)

Yes.

― Melissa W (Melissa W), Tuesday, 22 March 2005 19:35 (twenty-one years ago)

It'll be better than Lois & Clark where Luthor wasn't even bald!

― Huk-L, Tuesday, 22 March 2005 19:36 (twenty-one years ago)

In my mind the issue with the black Lois Lane was called "I Am Curious (Black)"

― Ken L (Ken L), Tuesday, 22 March 2005 19:36 (twenty-one years ago)

*SPOILER*
Darn. I was so waiting to post

Lex Luthor *IS* a Daddy!

― Ken L (Ken L), Tuesday, 22 March 2005 19:37 (twenty-one years ago)

You know who would have made a good Luthor? Will Arnett.

― Leon Bluth (Ex Leon), Tuesday, 22 March 2005 19:38 (twenty-one years ago)

Superman takeoff.

― Ken L (Ken L), Tuesday, 22 March 2005 19:42 (twenty-one years ago)

Kal Penn is also going to be in this as a minion of Lex's.

― Melissa W (Melissa W), Tuesday, 22 March 2005 19:47 (twenty-one years ago)

I am the only one who ever thought Mon-El sounded like a kind of transit system?

― Ken L (Ken L), Tuesday, 22 March 2005 19:49 (twenty-one years ago)

Mon-El-Vez, the Mexican Elvis from the planet Krypton!

― Ken L (Ken L), Tuesday, 22 March 2005 19:52 (twenty-one years ago)

Leon OTM, COME ON!

― Huk-L, Tuesday, 22 March 2005 19:53 (twenty-one years ago)

"Going Back to Kal-El"

― Ken L (Ken L), Tuesday, 22 March 2005 19:59 (twenty-one years ago)

Isn't anyone else concerned that the next Superman is going to be played by someone who used to be on "Undressed"????!?!? I'm freaking out over here!!

― jill schoelen is the queen of my dreams! (Homosexual II), Tuesday, 22 March 2005 20:19 (twenty-one years ago)

I wish Superman was written and directed by the talent behind "Undressed".

― Leon Bluth (Ex Leon), Tuesday, 22 March 2005 20:20 (twenty-one years ago)

Seriously though, if Will Arnett's talents are never tapped to play an evil genius supervillain, then the human race has failed.

― nickalicious (nickalicious), Tuesday, 22 March 2005 20:22 (twenty-one years ago)

Will Arnett has the best voice EVER. He would make a great evil genius, I agree. I can see him in a mad scientists' smock, easily.

― jill schoelen is the queen of my dreams! (Homosexual II), Tuesday, 22 March 2005 20:24 (twenty-one years ago)

L LUTHOR IS NOT BALD IN SMALLVILLE.

― omar little

It's true. I cringed every time she was on screen. Felt awful cuz I like her, but damn, she was unbearable. In her defense, Bosworth and Spacey were every bit as bad. Not that it helps. Did like Langella as Perry White.

― served by boot-face (contenderizer), Tuesday, 30 December 2008 16:19 (seventeen years ago)

the sexiest moment in any of the Superman movies is when he goes bad in Superman III and flicks peanuts into mirror.

No way, Zod was much hotter than Superman.

― Nicolars (Nicole), Tuesday, 30 December 2008 16:33 (seventeen years ago)

Well, if they're doing more of them they need to sort out exactly what's happening in the 'current' Superman world. What's up with the Kryptonite - in the first one if it was in a box near him it made him weak as a baby. Now a whole continent of Kryptonite doesn't affect him til he tries to use his powers and he can still fly around etc unless he has it stabbed into him. Also why didn't he lock the back door of his crystal palace if it was so bad for Luthor to nick the crystals.

Pretty sure Lois had cottoned on to the Clark/Superman thing at least once per film, although my memory is failing and I think he managed to cunningly trick her each time. Clark needs to actually do some stuff as Clark that should include making ludicrous excuses for rushing off and ripping his shirt off.

All superhero films are 'going dark', they should resist it with Superman.

This was so much more tolerable before he busted her out with his super sperm

― da croupier, Tuesday, 30 December 2008 18:02 (seventeen years ago)

sorry to keep bringing it up, but I can't believe that made it past the rough draft

― da croupier, Tuesday, 30 December 2008 18:03 (seventeen years ago)

also, if the idea is that they knocked boots while they were a couple in II, and that he gave her the amnesia kiss without realizing his boys were floating up Lo's Lane ("your diaphragm is no match for me!" POW!), why does the kid have super-strength? If he didn't have powers, how could his sperm? The alternative explanation is that he nailed her as Superman, without ever giving away his true identity.

Srsly, fuck whoever had the superbaby idea, and fuck the umpteen producers, exec and crewmembers who never said "HOLD UP WTF."

― da croupier, Tuesday, 30 December 2008 18:07 (seventeen years ago)

If he didn't have powers, how could his sperm?

Wait, why would the flashy thing take away his sperm's powers just because it took away his? I'm not taking that premise as a given!

― ^likes tilt-a-whirls (Pancakes Hackman), Tuesday, 30 December 2008 18:11 (seventeen years ago)

i just assume whatever magically made his powers disappear must have triggered the same molecular reaction in his jizz and omg fuck these slash producers for even making this conversation possible.

Whether or not the specific allegations are true, this whole thing touches on the worst of the late 90s: first-wave dot-com semi-hucksters living in Suge Knight's former house. This story and how it relates to this story...

― That's So (Eazy), Saturday, 19 April 2014 05:18 (twelve years ago)

the resemblance of the story in the lawsuit to right-wing evangelicals' fantasies about Hollywood as a homosexual den of iniquity makes me really want to be able dismiss it, but i know better than to dismiss allegations of sexual abuse because they sound far-fetched to my narrow mind.
