Crappy Comic Book Movie Central

[mbarrick]

In response to a comment on one of my Catwoman posts I ended up posting a bit of a rant about why the movie is likely to be crap and about the film industry both in Vancouver and in general. One of my criticisms of the Catwoman movie was, "It's lowest-common-denominator pap designed by marketing weasels to make money, period. It's one step away from porn."

I was sent a picture of the Catwoman costume:

and it just confirms this theory.

And in other comic book schlock news, I saw Wesley Snipes standing on top of the Hudson's Bay store on Georgia yesterday. I forgot they were shooting Blade 3 in town as well. Did anybody even watch Blade 2?

OK, I guess it's about time to go back to actual content then. Either that or I need to gain 50 Kg and grow a goatee and start saying, "Worst [X], ever!" a lot ;-)

I don't think this Catwoman movie is about the comic book Catwoman character. That's what I've been given to understand, anyway.

Batman Returns

And what's even more cool about that movie is there is one scene where Selena Kyle is dancing with Bruce Wayne at a party and the music they are dancing to is Siouxsie Sioux!

Turns out this Catwoman isn't the Selena Kyle Catwoman, though. This is the Patience Price Catwoman. Different characters from different story lines. Selena Kyle is the (much cooler) Gotham/Batman Catwoman. The Patience Price Catwoman doesn't live in Gotham (i.e. New York) but rather Lake City (i.e. Chicago).

Next question is why do I even know this stuff? The only comic I ever buy is Gloom Cookie.

Now you KNOW thats a superhero costume - it defies the laws of physics
