I often talk to my TV about such matters. It hasn’t complained yet. I have a little quirk of not wanting actors I’m smitten with to play bad guys. Not seriously bad guys, at least. Just enough naughty to make them smoulder. So I’m afraid I’ll have to skip that Bond movie. {No, I didn’t watch No Country For Old Men, and I won’t, damn it.}

Jaws was more memorable than Stromberg and Drax. As was Archie Cunningham compared to Montrose in Rob Roy. I do appreciate Gert Fröbe’s Goldfinger as much as I do Harold Sakata’s Oddjob, though.

I’d also agree with you about Diaz having a Aniston-like streak in the last few years. But, she does have more Cameron hits than Jennifer misses overall, I think.

Just like Satipo in Raiders (though more a greedy double-crosser than true villain) is more memorable than Belloq for some reason. That’s why I was wondering: What makes some bad guys stand out more than others?

I don’t hate Diaz but she, like Jennifer Aniston, has a penchant for being in movies that aren’t very good (I don’t dislike Aniston, either, just her movies). I did think Knight & Day was fun but I think you and I are in the minority. Being a big Firth fan, I’m wary of Diaz bringing along her bad track record (Shrek movies aside) to Gambit.

Interesting thought about Caine’s roles having moral ambiguity. I never considered it but I think you’re right. Except for maybe Alfred in the Batman movies.

It kicks butt. I liked Keri Russell as WW. In fact, I’d be happy if she plays her in live-action, too, though not in David E. Kelly’s version.

Hubby might actually be able to get some peace and quiet.

I was disheartened by that Wonder Woman script. It’s so horrible I’m kind of hoping the pilot won’t get a series order because WW deserves better treatment. I’m speaking as a fan who owns a WW bath robe, address book, journal and note cards.

As for your football speak, you might as well be an adult talking to me as Charlie Brown. You know, “Wah wah wah wah, Steelers.” I know next to nothing about football.

Ugh! What a train wreck of a script and characterization of this iconic hero! It reads like the antithesis of that DC animated release. If you can’t get it on Netflix or something, let me know and I’ll lend you ours. When you see it, let me know your thoughts. Thanks.

Here’s the link for that script review:

I had seen something about that animated release, but forgot to go back and check it out. You’re so right about the voice cast. But, of course, your seal of approval is enough for me to check it out. Thanks for the recommendation!
