Cool News
Kitty Pryde has been cast! No, it's not Shannon from LOST, but rather...
Ahoy, squirts! Quint here... now that some filming has begun on X3 expect a flood of news and behind the scenes pics. Although, SuperHeroHype says that the filming being done in San Francisco this week is for the trailer to premiere in December we're still getting tons of reports. We got one that said there is flooding on the streets of San Fran and we've gotten pics of cranes and crew... That's just now for the trailer. When the actual production starts up next week we'll be hearing tons more.
But to hold you over, IGN got an exclusive on the casting of Kitty Pryde, which was previously being negotiated with Maggie Grace, from LOST... I interviewed Grace during Comic-Con (keep an eye out for that in the next day or two) and we touched upon her leaving the project there, which has been widely reported. As hot as Grace is I'm rather happy that they've cast a more unknown in the role (her name is Ellen Page), especially one that's 15 years old. Kitty has always been a kind of little sister to the group and I'm glad the actress is at least the right age to play that angle.
Anyway, follow the link below to see IGN's story as well as a pic of new mutant!

Let the X3 bashing begin again....since none of u have read the script and dont have faith in the actors

Perfect for Kitty.
-
That one kind of makes her forehead somewhat immense, but it's the angle. She's a cute little chick.
-
She looks great for the part.

From that same IGN story "In other news, XMenFilms.net reports that X3 has added several key crew members, beginning with editor Mark Helfrich (Red Dragon, Predator).
"Yes, I will be editing X3, as I have all of Brett Ratner's films," Helfrich advised XMF, adding "this project will have 3 editors. Academy Award nominee Mark Goldblatt A.C.E. and Julia Wong will be editing with me." Goldblatt also directed 1989's The Punisher." So, same hack director, same hack editor, plus a hack director turned editor. I don't know Julia Wong's work, but if they have to cite the 1989 Punisher film for the other guy, well, YIKES." By the way, they've been shooting something for Sony up here (a commercial) so who knows what the X3 guys are doing. Today they had Kearny between Broadway and Vallejo blocked off with ahuge net strung across the street to catch giant balls they were rolling down the hill. It's probably a PSP or PS2 video game ad. Peace out. -

-
Although you're gonna have to ignore the fact she looks more like a pouty 9-year-old boy who's mom totally blew him off at soccer practice. Seriously, the mushroom-cut didn't help. All in all I'll give her the 'cute' vote. She definately fits the bill far more than Maggie Grace and closely resembles the girl from 'X2'. I personally think it's a good cast.
-
Like I said in the other TalkBack, I was holding out for Summer Glau, but they're obviously going young. I don't know anything about this girl, but she gives off a Kitty Pryde vibe. Hopefully she's a decent actress.

In the other two movies she was older, now she is younger..is this one of her new powers?
FUCK BRETT RATNER!!!!!!!!!!
Oh..and she is ugly too!!! -
Good post, fella. Please, negative meanies, shut the fuck up. It'll be out in a few months. See it when it is, then hit the talkback and say it sucks if, IYHO, it does. >>> Now there's a pretty girl. 18, not 15 (all right.). I would've liked to go 'Yes! THAT's Kitty Pride!' but it didn't happen. She looks like a good fit for the role, still, and I can't wait to see her in some kind of suit, moving around, and to hear her voice when she gets punched. I don't know her, but our man in Halifax says she really act. Just wish I'd had that 'just right' feeling that I got for example (and thank God!), from Hugh Jack as Wolverine. Even then, it's a dang shame Michael Ironside (HE was Wolverine) was too old by the time Logan happened on film. But anyway, the b&w pic on IMDb with the Supes t-shirt most definitely suggests ms. Ellen Philpotts-Page, with the adequate guidance, could soon be the sexiest tomboy beanpole on the planet.

Kindly insert 'can' and 'man' in my previous post. Thank you.

Stop trying to make "fetch" happen. Ummm...on a sort of 'X3'-related note, I have in my hands a copy of this month's Wizard, and I'm mighty confused by a certain paragraph. I'll ask those with ADD to take their pills now as I'm going to post it in its entirety and then even add little questions and comments at the bottom: ************************** "Don't believe the hype. Although an early online scooper leaked a review of an infamous 'six-day draft' -- a script reportedly written in less than a week so that Fox could show it to Vaughn -- there have been major revisions. With Ratner now on board, fans can reportedly expect a love story between Wolverine and Storm, at least three mutant deaths and a theme that revolves around a 'mutant cure' developed by Warren Worthington Sr. to cure his own son -- the high-flying Angel." ***************** Now. Correct me if I'm wrong, but wasn't all of that "new" stuff in the six-day draft? And wasn't most of that stuff, generally speaking, what created the uproar? "Now" that Ratner is on board, there's gonna be a love story between Wolverine and Storm? All of this stuff was touched upon in the script review Moriarty ran. So, when Fox and Marvel and whoever tells fans not to bitch because there've been "major changes," what, exactly, are they talking about? I'm sure the script's been refined, but the nuances of the script wasn't what raised people's ire. It was the plot beats. And according to Wizard, they're all still there. So what were the monkeys in suits telling us to keep quiet for? The things we were concerned about haven't been addressed. Is Fox purposely lying, or trying to create disinformation, or what have you? Is this just another example of them (and Marvel) treating fanboys with contempt? It appears that the responses to the script review weren't exactly of the genuine variety; the people involved with production and the people watching it were talking about two different things and they probably fucking knew it. Great. You know, I don't know why I should feel like my confidence has been betrayed when it's been made abundantly clear that Avi Arad and all of his ilk hate our guts unless we kiss their ass, but I do anyway. Am I saying the movie will be bad? No (nor am I saying it will be good; although I maintain that the Wolverine/Storm romance is an awful idea and probably producer-driven). I AM saying that we've been misinformed. I'd say that Marvel and Fox have some explaining to do after the implications of this article, but it's pretty obvious no one in charge gives a shit. I hate Hollywood.
-
Marvel and Fox might hate us, but they sure as shit don't waste any energy on it. All that matters is: will you shell out to see the movie in the theatre and to buy the 2-disc dvd? You sound like I feel and, shit, chances are they'll win.
-
the guy in that photo starred in Bonk's Adventure for the Turbo Grafx 16, so he's not that unknown
-
...further reading of this here article (you can't see it, but trust me, it's there) makes me wonder whether Wizard isn't just reporting plot points based on that six-day draft in the first place. Arrrggh! I don't know what to think anymore!! (Throws himself out the window). Montr

The question isn't, is it a sorta lame story, the question is will the director and crew be able to make the story a good movie.
I've seen plenty of movies with bad stories that were good movies. X-men 1&2 are just really washed out badly written stories of good marvel comics. The movies were so-so to good.
The Hulk was a good story told badly.
I think ratner will clean up all the wonky garbage and tighten the story up so it's at least enjoyable like FF. FF's story wasn't that great but it was a decent movie.
Private Ryan was a good story with a so-so to good movie made from it.
It can go both ways It's all up to the eye of the Director.
Look how Gulager was able to take a lame ass story and turn it into a fairly good horror flick. Ratner makes nice looking, richly decorated and lighted movies. He handles action well as well as humor. His movies have a definately 80's 90's look and feel to them and that's a good thing.
Rant and rave because none of us knows anything but rumors innuendo and rants from both sides. which is nothing, we know nothing, nothing.
Wait for the trailer that they are filming in San fran. -
She's ok I suppose.
-
This past weekend I ended up seeing the Fantastic Four and, while it wasn't horrible, it was forgettable. The previous X-movies didn't rely on their screenplays to suceed, which was good, because they really weren't that great. Rather, it was the director and the cast that kept the movies afloat. This time around, it looks like we will get the standard issue script minus a competent director and some dependable actors. If a "mutant cure" is really this episode's plot, then this movie will have to lean heavily on it's action to suceed as everything else is just regurgitated from before. Oh yeah...if they truly insist on giving Storm a love interest, why not just go with Angel? I remember there was a bit of a spark between them in the past. Didn't they waltz through a starry sky at one point, ending it in a kiss? Anyways, RIP Nightcrawler...

by spectrebeeyatch
The only reason this is being made is to try and hault Superman from doing well. X3 will make over 100 million for sure but will it die at a low 100 and be considered a failure like Hulk. If they are doing all the action from the script in the amount of time they have they will end up spending over 150 million, so next summer will see if the suits win. I don't care what anyone says I can't wait for Superman. X3 can suck it.
-
that is all...
-
makes it even more stupid that they got rid of Nightcrawler for this movie.....and oh yeah....Lockheed.....
-
Not only is she the right age, but she is also only 5' tall, so she is the correct stature for the role. She looks the part, too.
-
This movie is going to be shitty, and the last two were over-rated.

While I would have preferred to have either the Kitty that is X1 or X2, this one does fit the part much more than that generic looking blonde from LOST. By the way, this actress

I think those fuckers have changed their user names - but we'll find them!
-
When they introduce a character, even for a bit part, then change the actor in the next movie for no apparent reason? We've already had Kitty Pryde and Hank McCoy played by differnt people in these films. Why introduce them in the first place if you're going to replace them when you expand the part? It's the same sort of thing that bothered me when they used Billy Dee Williams as Harvey Dent Batman and cast Tommy Lee Jones as Two Face. WHen I see the character, I'm looking forward to seeing that character played by the same actor in the next film. And I'm pretty sure these people were available. The thing that I like about the Spider-Man movies so far, is that they've kept the cast intact. Maybe they use the Lizard and maybe they don't, but they've got a history of keeping everyone for two films so I watch this series with some trust. If they recast Harry Osborn for Spidey 3 I'd feel the rug was yanked out. Or if a subplot in 3 has to do with Robbie, I want to see the same actor no matter how much they expand the role. If Gary Oldman isn't Gordon for the next two films and Caine isn't Alfred and Freeman isn't Fox, Batman Begins Again or Batman Still Knows What You Did Last Summer or what ever it's called, won't hold the same appeal for me. Yes, I'll still see it, so no one needs to point out the economics of the business. Just a personal beef, was just wondering if anyone else shared it.
-
... if they somehow include lockheed- then they could cast fucking ving rhames as shadowcat and I'd be happy
-
I wish they wouldn't keep recasting each character everytime they get more then one speaking line (Jubilee, Pyro, kitty)...hopefully they'll stick with the pyro guy from the last movie.
-
Kitty in the first movie seemed perfect, I don't see why she was recast in the second film and why she's recast again for this one. Do they even realize she was IN the last two? You have to wonder.
-
The plot is, let's face it, half decent. I'm sure it's been polished to death. Simon Kinberg is a fucking tool writer, so I hope his hands are on the script the least. Zak Penn is at least passable. So let's hope his work comes to the forefront. But it's true about Ratner. He's a talentless fuck who had his Daddy buy him a film career. Ratner uses the stardom of others to feed his own ego. Rush Hour sans Tucker? Flop. Everything else he's done has essentially been a Chris Tucker project or a movie that made roughly eleven dollars. After The Sunset was a fucking joke attempt at Ocean's Eleven/Twelve. The truth is that he lacks vision, he's a pawn of the studio. Ratner will bring nothing to this mainly because (when ATS flopped) he has no power. Plus, do we not remember fucking Kung Fu Supes? Please, the guy is a fucking wanker. He'll turn it into a mediocre/passable entry into the X-Series, and I fucking doubt he'll be back for more. So whatever. As long as they get Proyas or Whedon to work on the sequels (even if Whedon only writes), I'll be happy.

-
..It looks like Kate Bosworth just walked into X3 as Kitty!! What is up with this new phenomenon of big foreheaded chicks getting major roles in Superhero flicks...? Are they gonna cast Tom Hanks as Logan now? If you wanna see a big spam, check out Samantha Mumba!!! Man that forehead looks like a fine piece of Gammon!!
-
..was in apub in London ages ago and Samantha Mumba was at the table next to me and she farted and it STUNK of cabbage.It was obscene....just thinking of it makes me want to wretch.
-
Holy crap, that is funny dude..yeah what is up with the Mumba? Maybe she stores noxious gases in her giant, GIANT forehead!! She did a shoot for FHM, and no joke, one whole page was filled with just her forehead!!! Poor, poor Gammon-headed Samantha. My girlfriends best mate smells of cabbage...she is a vegetarian so...
-
but she really looked like a boy in the show with the short hair she had in it. Check it out to see how you like her acting.
-
..that is strange about your girls veggie mate..my ex was a veggie and every so often in bed there would be a sort of...stench..like boiled cabbage..never a sound like normal farts.just a sort of ..loose wet one.I once went out with a girl called Jess and she told me 'nice girls don't fat'.One night when she was fast asleep she let rip with an absolute CORKER of a fart.So loud it scared the cats in the alley!I HAD to wake her up and tell her.She wasnt best pleased....
-
I broke up with a girl, cause I was giving her the good loving and as i climbed on top she let rip, out her a-hole I mean, freakin gross...my mate shit himself the other day, he was really pissed and went to take a crap, 'cept he forgot to take his underwear down...not pleasant. Anyhoo, Samantha Mumba, spamtastic. Bosworth looks like freakin Herman Munster too.
-
..someone else has friend like me.New Years Eve 1987 a good pal of mine got so drunk,on the walk home he suddenley staed "I need a shit" and dropped his pants.we looked away and then looked back to see two legs in the air.He'd shit then fell back on his own turd!!He pulled his pants up and the stench..UGGH,THE STENCH.We opened his front door for him and threw him in.He awoke on New Years Dayon his Mums settee to the screams of "YOU'RE AN ANIMAL!!"He had drunkenley thrown all his dirty clothes in the washing basket and then showered and used his scarf as a bum cleaner.Of course being good friends,we told EVERYONE at school....personally cant take the Mumba after my experience,but Im happy for Dunst or Johansson to fart in my direction any time.
-
Harry, you are going to have start monitoring and censoring talkbacks, because obviously the people posting here can't behave with any maturity. This is a young unknown actress who is probably thrilled to be joining a big motion picture. If she pops on the web to see what reaction is going to be, she will be seeing a lot of hateful and careless jabs about her appearance. Can any of you stand the scrutiny of having your picture posted for the whole world to see. Post of "Wrong hair color - too old - told young - not the right type - too short for the part" Fine. But nasty jabs. Unecessary. Grow up. Harry, please start deleting these nasty posts.

-
..yeah,to be honest i kinda thought that.Y'know girl gets part,all excited,goes on web to see what people think and....hmmm.Perhaps somewhere i do have a soul.....but it all depends on whether her farts are acceptably loud and vibratative or quiet and nostril-melting.Good luck to this chick,really.I don't care for qwhat I'm hearing about the story though....

-
...but so was the gal they had cameo in X1. I don't see what all the excitement is about concerning this film. They're killing off Cyclops, Prof. X and Magneto. Jean is clearly going Phoenix and not coming back. Wolverine and Storm are going to make a bunch of furry cocoa colored babies with bad attitudes. Whether the direction makes the poor, recycled plot watchable or not, geeks are pissed enough about the mishandling of their favorite characters (and Wizard, shitrag that it is, is probably right for once in its reporting on the "substantially changed" script) that they won't pay to see the movie more than once (if that) and it won't sell very well on DVD. Consequently, there will be no more sequels. Maybe a Wolverine movie, but this is it for the X-Men on film until someone reimagines the franchise in ten years. Helluva note to go out on, Avi.

Hasn't anyone been paying attention? Kitty has aged *backward* over the last two flicks, thus making her the first mutant from the planet Ork. How dare Ratner stray from the consistency and genius of Bryan Singer!!
-
It's called an economy of words. In my post, I said "I'm not saying the movie's gonna be bad...;" just because the gist of my post was about something else doesn't mean that you have to make me hip to how directing works. Seriously, if you're gonna get lazy and just skim through other people's words, then you shouldn't be telling them that they're "ranting" and "raving." Sorry that harshes your buzz for the movie. Oh, and last I checked? My "rants" and "raves" were pretty reasonable, and they're also my prerogative, so fuck off.
-
...sorry, if you were not talking to me. I just figured, what with the stuff you said about the script being the script and all, you were. Even if you were talking to me I apologize for lashing out the way I did, but it's incredibly frustrating when people try to marginalize what I think are legitimate complaints. I get that you want to like this movie... I think, but I'm not "bitching" just for the sake of it.

I can't believe that a bunch of dorks that sit around and post talkbacks to a movie news website have the audacity to make fun of a 15 year old girls appearance. I think the poster looks great, by the way - and to the guy that said it doesn't even have Wolverine in it very much? How do you know that? That script review said he laid around having sex with Storm all day, but he was paraphrasing and only had the first two acts. I'm absolutely positive that Wolverine is going to be all over this thing as there wouldn't be an X-men movie without him - he's the star. It's like saying Mission Impossible 3 doesn't have Ethan Hunt in it very much.

...like 15 or 16 years old. He probably scooped up back issues going only so far as the Fall of the Mutants crossover and figures that's all he needs to know. Truth is, Jubilee was a lame attempt to cash in on the edgy girl Robin from Dark Knight Returns and was brought on during an everything and the kitchen sink time in X-history to revive a portion of Wolverine that had been dormant since Kitty grew up and didn't need a surrogate father figure anymore. But most of who Kitty became as an adult, she owes to what she learned from Wolverine. And most of what Wolverine became as a hero (not just the resident psycho on a leash), he owes to her influence. Trust us on that one, kid.

by diana rules!
Yeah I wonder why that is. I was was just talking about that with a friend at The Pol Pot Philanthropic Institute, and she peut it best "People on the left are smarter, that's why they're ON the left." We left and had lunch at Stalin's Subs and Salads, a wonderful place in Greenwich Village and kept talking about it. Under pictures of Josef Stalin winning the Nobel piece prize we continued. "But I've heard the lefties occasioanlly say mean things," I said, "How do you reconcile harsh words with what I'll admit is a pure and unblemished record of social good?" Well, my friend was spot on again. "Lefties sometimes get frustrated, especially in democracies. By being smarter than the average person, the solutions to are problems are so obvious to them but they can't fix the problems we have without wasting a lot of time 'convincing' the rest of us. So occasionally they fly off the handle because of the dim-witted nature of the rest of the population." I'd really never thought about it from their point of view, so I asked if we could stretch out the evening as I was really enjoying this conversation. We went to the Mao Zedong Nature Preserve and were feeding the birds, right next to a statue of some chinese guy saving a baby bird from a fox. It suddenly occured to me that if the lefties were so good, what made the righties so bad. Why were they so hate filled and . . . the conclusion I was beginning to reach was . . . 'evil. "That's easy," she said, "A lot of people on the right can't get passed what's written down. Becasue they are so dumb, it takes them a long time to learn basic skills like reading. When they finally do it, they don't like to have had their time wasted so they get upset things like 'Constitutions' and 'Rules of Law' and 'The Bible' because if they've taken the time to master the hard words in these things, they don't understand that these things are only guidelines and a smarter perdon thann them has the right to ignore them if he or she knows better." I looked at her and said, "She?" And we both laughed, holding hands as the night fell under the stars.

I've heard that extra-large foreheads are a sign of alcoholic parents.

Ribbons the reason I singled you out is b/c everytime I come to this site you bitch about the same thing over and over and over again. You've made your point, now move on to the next one. Maybe I missed it, but you have had said nothing about this casting choice, which is the focus of this talkback, but instead you re-hash the same bullshit repeatedly. I'm also tired about you and everybody else complaining about something you haven't even seen yet. Monkey Tamer made a great point when he broke down how lame X1 and X2 sounded on paper. Wait until you have at least seen some footage before you bitch.

This casting choice does nothing for me except to thank God for not giving me that girls forehead.

My girlfriend looks like Angelina Jolie. Yes, I'm serious. She's an incredible piece of ass, so speak for yourself. And that chick who got cast as Kitty has a Herman Munster forehead.

by justice41
I never read the books nor do I own em, so I just blanked that crap out. The artwork was horrible.
-
You appear to have read the script, but I have as well and for the most part what I read was not what was on the screen. Miller's script was butchered.
-
I agree. Such relational mechanics fabricated solely for the convenience of plot in a movie adaptation is absurd. It's about as foolish as... hooking Logan up with Jean Grey. Oh, wait!
-
Thanks for the help, Red Lantern. I'm not used to kindness 'round these here parts. [Wipes a tear from his eye]. Frodo'sBalls, the first two posts of mine in this TalkBack were about the casting decision and both of them were -- hey, whaddaya know? -- positive. The argument about whether or not people are "allowed" to make the same point more than once aside, your singling out of me still leaves me befuddled. I'm NOT saying this movie is going to suck. I'm actually looking forward to it in spite of myself. The only idea that I've been verbal against is a romance between Wolverine and Storm, and that's more because I can only imagine where that idea came from in the first place. Do I wish they'd signed Singer and do I think he's a better director than Ratner? Yes. I daresay most people do. But I don't say that over and over. I only wrote about it in the other 'X3' TalkBack because Moriarty asked the general question -- "what do you all think about the status of the project?" The thing I was "bitching" about earlier was the fact that Marvel and Fox seem to have been deliberately lying to us...or rather, telling a truth, but one that has no bearing on the concerns they're trying to put to rest with it. About the deaths, the mutant cure, whatever -- I've thought on it, and I'm pretty sure I haven't mentioned them since that review of the six-day draft. I'm not as outspoken about those things as other people are, so their not being changed doesn't concern me so much as it might others (when I said "we" I meant the general AICN community), but the fact that Fox allowed us to infer that they had been does. Seeing as the Wizard I held in my geeky (or "faggy" as you'd probably call them) little hands last night is brand new, I don't think I'm asking much for people to assume that's the first time I've ever made that particular point. So I ask again: where's all this malice at my expense coming from? By the way, thank you for complimenting me on my "Marvel stock" diss. Your "get a life" diss was pretty good too.

eule, "Never understood why everyone liked Kitty so much"
by immortal_fish
Everything's subjective. For me, it was the first run of Excalibur, and, well, fan fave Lockheed. Kitty to the X-Men is not unlike Suzie to the FF. She appears sweet, modest, and unassuming until you piss her off. Plus, again like Suzie, she was the glue that bound the team together and had an ability that appeared passive and weak on the surface, yet enabled her to accomplish much where the rest of her team couldn't. Each of the X-Men had complex interpersonal relationships, but to me, none stood out more than Kitty and (insert mutant name here). Plus, she was there from the beginning, so that should count for something. She isn't my favorite X-Man, but she sure does run a close second to Bobby Drake.
-
Personally, I'm quite elated to read that they're going with a relatively unknown. Consider that unknowns tend to work out better than accomplished actors and how they also tend to be much more memorable. Well, at least for the heroes if not villains. The link Terry_1978 posted at the top of this TB is a much better pic of this lady than is the pic Quint posted. And I'm sure that wonders can still be done with light and shadow. Can't judge her ability since I haven't seen anything else she's done, but I'm way happier with this decision than I was with any other X-Man, save Xavier and Lehnsherr.
-
they should make another Conehead movie and cast these girls.
-
but I understand what you are saying and agree with you about Kitty. She is definitely the glue and I always felt that she always asked the questions that the reader wanted to know about the characters. But really, Iceman?
-
As I stated in my post, "maybe I missed it", but you are correct you did mention the casting choice. I don't have time for a "rebuttal" now, but I have balls enough to admit when I'm wrong, although you have bitched a fair amount about the project.
-
She was the first X-Man to really care about stuff like studying, boys, music at what was supposed to be a prep school. Most of the other mutants at the Academy didn't act anything like teenagers. So if you're a teenager and you like comics, you usually like Kitty. Because she was a mutant, which is hard to deal with if you're a teenager. She always seemed realistic.
-
Okay, so she does have kind of a big forehead, but she's a cute girl. Check out these pics...

but I do agree that she brought some heart to the team. And as seen in 'Astonishing X-Men' she really can be quite the interesting character, she's just no favorite of mine. That'd still be Nightcrawler.
-
I hear ya. He's hardly a tragic figure. More like the Johnny Storm of the X-Men. Loved the 80s four ish mini-series. Plus, I was still a kid in the early 80s, so the animated Spider-Man and his Amazing Friends still has a soft spot in my heart. You know, Ashmore could have been a spot-on perfect Drake. It's a shame the character has been bastardized for sake of plot and pocketbook.
-
If there's grass on the field it's okay to play ball, know what I'm saying? I try to to train the ladies early where possible, it can be a pain, but don't want them picking up bad habits from no-rods. You gotta give something back. Most of us appreciate a well trained lady who knows her way around the purple headed yogurt slinger, who do you think Miyagied her? She didn't do it herself or with help just from Senor Chiquita. You gotta carry on the tradition for the kids, if you feel me. I know people don't have a lot of time, but you gotta make some if you want pros and not hos.
-
Agreed that Sith is still the MOST SATISFYING of the summer. As for "best," I'd say Batman Begins.
-
Ok, maybe the classic Dark Phoenix saga came a few issues later, but Kitty was the beginning of the end. Damn, now I loved those Byrne/Austin issues.
-
Also, I think she looks awesomely bitchy in the pic of her in the Superman (ironic, isn't it?) t-shirt on the link I posted earlier.
-
I'm not looking for a debate, I know different people have their favorite issues and members of X-Men. I never liked Gambit and a lot of people do. Even though I'm a guy, I thought Kitty was the one I could identify with most. Everything she did was wrong, she had no one her age to relate to, she had a crush on someone that thought of her as a kid. Then while dealing with all this shit, The Sentinels show up and kicking the crap out of everyone. I actually thought it got weaker when she left. Never liked her as Shadowcat. Of course I'd like to see Longshot in a movie, but that's never gonna happen. I don't think too many people are with me on that one.

I'm surprised none of you are saying "Yeah, she looks like a jew" or something like that. Why don't you all just don your white sheets and protest? Jerks.

Oh and the other pictures have her covering her massive meatball forehead with her hair. Either the photographer saw that and said "holy shit, we gotta cover that landing strip of a forehead" or she's fully aware that she has an aircraft carrier for a forehead.
-
Who could forget that classic issue that Whedon referenced in his X-Men run? Like most X-Men characters, she was hit or miss. I never liked the whole ninja training or the S.H.I.E.L.D. stuff, but there have been some great Kitty episodes - some of her brief stint in New Mutants were great - like when she had to give a eulogy for a young mutant who had committed suicide. She was an accessible character, from Chicago - not some exotic place or some mysterious past. She was our way in to the strange X-Men world. I wish they would have kept the first X1 Kitty and Jubilee and expand on the whole trio of friends they established in the deleted scene. This actress looks fine (if the worst thing you can say about an actress is her forehead, come on!), maybe if she's younger they won't do the stupid Rogue/Iceman/Kitty triangle they were talking about. Maybe they're setting her up for the other X-Men spinoff with the younger mutants. I also think of Michelle Trachtenberg as the perfect Kitty Pryde - the innocence, the attitude, the Jewishness. Oh well, I'm going to hold out hope til I see X3.

First, Diana, killer post. Thank you for that. While this TB has seen some of the most ruthlessly funny comments on a forehead, this side of 6th grade, I think we should give Ellen Page a break. Her other imdb photos were far more flattering. All that aside, I'm more interested in her acting chops and plan on renting "Hard Candy" just to see how she handles herself. I've always had a soft spot for the Pryde character as she was always the most "human" on of the group in terms of personality. My only hope is that despite being tossed Iceman's way (another horrible mismatch in this script as I recall from Mori's script review) she hasn't been turned into some kind of meandering sexual tension plot device and is actually given something to do (besides flirt).

Coneheads 2. That was funny. I wish they had cast a chick I actually could fantasize about fucking, like Alexis Bledel or Maggie Grace. There's something inherently hot about superheroes, but not when they look like this.
