Anne Hathaway was attractive in the Princess Diaries, but now she looks like she has too much makeup on or something. I dunno. She's weird looking and I'm not really looking forward to seeing her as Catwoman.

The woman who played Maul in Nolan's Inception would be a great Catwoman if I may say so.

Lol @Supes. I could not agree more if I wanted to... except for Bosworth, I don't think she's half bad. I actually find her far more attractive than Hathaway. Lol. But that's me. But definitely gonna get us a hot Lane... dang, I can't wait for casting news all around.

@Narrator Sucker Punch does seem like a culmination of his abilities, doesn't it? It seems to have the most extravagant visual style of all his films (I don't believe a single fantasy element has been forgotten), the plot doesn't sound halfway bad (finding realistic items to escape the asylum, but in a fantastical, Rated R way), and I'm sure it'll be another rockin' soundtrack. Just seems like it'll be a flat out fun time. Maybe not the deepest, thought provoking flick, but that clearly isn't its goal, from the trailers at least.
And regarding Superman, I doubt he'll show us the Boy Scout getting lucky, but who knows :P Just give us guys a hot Lois Lane. Returns didn't seem like a fair trade, we were stuck looking at Kate Bosworth, who in my estimation is only so-so (I'm picky, sue me).

What's Nolan's weakness? Weak female leads?

The Narrator: The Better Man
Exactly @Supes. Either way, I believe Snyder has found the recipe for giving audience eye sex like none-other, and he's using it, and using it, and using it. Personally, I can't blame him in the least, and I think he's found his home with films like Sucker Punch. Here's hoping Superman surprises us in a good way with some of Snyders other talents, such as adapting.... and if not, then maybe we'll see Lois and Clark REALLY get it on.. jk, jk. :P

@Narrator Even if Sucker Punch ends up being a 'shallow' movie with a predictable ending, I don't think anyone will be able to walk away saying they didn't enjoy the outrageous orgy of action sequences, or the plentiful babes in it kicking ass in a way some of us dudes have only dreamt of :P

@Supes, don't get me drooling. Snyder may have flaws, but at least he chooses some seriously beautiful girls in his films (for the most part).

Indy doesn't really require depth as a character. Nor did the supporting roles. That's what made "Raiders of the Lost Ark" the best adventure film (to me at least). And then not rehashing it with "Temple of Doom" which was another classic '30s formula that people rag on for some reason. Then "Last Crusade" being the depth to the character, (which wasn't an apology for the second one, but the fulfillment of a contract) for if one reveals too much all at once, you lose the edge sequels have to offer. Hence Indy was a concept, like Nolan's worlds. One you can grasp quickly. I agree though that Speilberg & Eastwood have been obsessing over dramas lately. They're not bad though. Showcases their talent through shifting seamlessly through genres.

Speaking of Asian girls, how bout that Jamie Chung ala Sucker Punch? Yep, reason enough right there to see it.

Lol. I didn't see it, so pity. No, I just re-read my last statement as well, and found it a bit hypocritical. My bad mate. We'll agree to... err... enjoy Nolan and asian girls? Lol.

F*ck that last comment I made (I deleted it). I don't want to get into an argument, not with you of all people. Gotta save that energy for the @POTC and @Monkey's of the world.

Lol @Supes. I understand that, but of Nolan's flaws, I think him focusing on his strong points is the least of them.

@Narrator I was only pointing out some flaws that I see with Nolan, so as also to not appear "on his dick". Of course he's a fantastic director, I don't gloat enough about him for that to be obvious?
I was simply using Eastwood and Speilberg because they are the old dogs of Hollywood, and Nolan's British ass is new school (at the cream of the crop new school, though).
