Now that just isn't right.

Well , I think you're right . But I think the worst-case scenario would be Lindsay Lohan . As much as I want Joss' venture to be successful , I would boycott the film if she's cast . I'd rather see just about anyone named so far do it before I'd see Lohan as Wonder Woman . She was okay in Disney's remake of The Parent Trap , but I've never been able to take her seriously in any role ( especially her own life ! ) since then .

I was thinking of people with chops that could do it , that haven't been named so far . Anne Hathaway could do it , but she'd have to get a much tougher attitude and buff up a bit .

Traveler's suggestion of J. Lopez got me to thinking of saucy Latinas who might step into the role . As beautiful as Paz Vega happens to be , I think her skills with English are not yet up to the challenge , and she may be a bit too soft for the role , anyway .

If an 'unknown' Latina is cast , we could do a lot worse than see Ana Beatriz Barros as Wonder Woman . The demographics just might work favorably in this instance .

I know, I know - that's a horrible compromise. But... something about her bothers me.

That last one of Anne might do; but, I'm not sure about her acting (I've only seen her in Disney-esque movies, although I have an urge to see "The Devil Wears Prada" now).

Overall, not a horrible choice. I agree with whoever said that Lindsey Lohan would be the worst pick - heck, even Nathan would be better (well, doesn't that paint a pretty picture? )!

Hello Yinyang:

You don't have to make compromises with me. I have my ideas and you have your's. I would love to see Gina Torres as Wonder Woman. She would do a fine performance. She certainly proved herself to me in Firefly and in past performances I've seen.

I just don't want you to think I'm angry that you don't agree with me. Having different opinions is what makes life interesting. It would be dull if we all thought the same things. Diversity is what keeps this big old world spinning.

The woman you see below in my signature is my first choice, but she died 50 or more years ago. Her name is Priscilla Lawson and she played Priness Aura in the original Flash Gordon serials back in the 30's. She was already dead when they broadcast the series on TV when I was six years old. Black hair, pale skin, mysterious eyes. Can a six year old fall in love? Yes. Not till I was older and the serials were available on VHS did I realize what an effect she had on me. But she did. And I can't explain how. So you don't have to explain anything to me.

We have Christian-Judean-Islamic, Pagans, Atheists, and everything in between in this verse, so I think there is room for both of us.

I may be taking this too serious, but I get the feeling you think you hurt me because you don't like Jennifer. No way. You could never do that.

Yinyang, I will always continue to look forward to your wonderful posts and discussing any issue with you.

Now you have to rent the film "A Tree Grows In Brooklyn". You will recognize me. I'm the drunken dreamer. Well I was before I quit drinking. Now I'm the sober dreamer. I don't stagger down the streets anymore, just in these threads.

I aim to be a dreamer

All right, I'll see if I can find that movie.

Oh, and as to the matter of compromises - sometimes, it's fun (and healthy, I think) to actually consider an idea, rather than reject it out of hand. As trivial as it may be, this is what I'm doing with your idea of Jennifer Lopez - thinking about how she could or couldn't fit the role, and why I think/feel that way.

You? Angry at me? The possibility hadn't even entered my mind (is that presumptuous of me? Don't answer that.).

Too serious? Naw. Sometimes it's good to pepper life with these moments - otherwise, how could anyone enjoy the sillyness?

Heehee!

Yinyang:

Thank you for your quick reply. I'm happy I was wrong. I often take things to seriously. If you rent that movie, I think you may enjoy it. It's sad and it's sweet and I knew it complete. If you don't like sad movies than don't rent it.

Thank You;
Traveler

I can't remember her name, but the woman who was in Terminator 3 might be able to do it. She was tall and could be a scary ass-kicker.
I like the pictures posted above (can't remember their names now, either. Can you tell I didn't get enough sleep last night?) but they both look a bit too soft for it. They would need to bulk up a considerable amount.
As for getting someone who will fill a theater; that is what the studio wants, but not what Joss wants. Joss wants someone who can fill the role. I sure hope he doesn't have to compromise that to the point of casting the likes of Lohan or Jolie (I like both of them, they just aren't Wonder Woman) and certainly not a American Idol.

A family is a place where minds come in contact with one another. If these minds love one another the home will be as beautiful as a flower garden. But if these minds get out of harmony with one another it is like a storm that plays havoc with them. - Gautama Siddharta
