Every Monday these days, my friends and I get together for Fox Cancellation Night. That is where I first viewed Firefly. After that was over, we started on Dark Angel. We are currently a good way into season 2 (and last).

Aside from the fact that Alba is a very attractive woman, I think that she is a fine actress. I think that she did a fine job in the Dark Angel series, and I have no doubt that she could make the role of Sue Storm happen.

Yes, I'm used to the blonde hair too, but we'll see. Maybe they'll dye it.

Here's a nutty thought . . .

Maybe they cast Alba because out of all the auditions, she was the best suited?

So she's not blonde, like in the comic. Get over it. And oh yeah. . .I can COMPLETLEY see Michael Chickliss (sp?) NAILING "The Thing". If you REALLY want to see how wide this guy's range is. . .watch a few episodes of "The Shield". . .THEN see if you can find a few episodes of "The Commish". . .AND THEN look around and see if you can find a movie called "Stooges". It's something of a bio piece that documents the rise and decline of "The Three Stooges". It stars Paul Ben-Victor (of "The Invisible Man") as Moe Howard, and Michael C. as Curly Howard. It's really amazing to see this guy's versatility. Especially when it addresses the family issues and Curly's alcoholism and womanizing problems.

But yeah. . .anyhow. . .I personally am wearied by the constant naysaying done by "purists" who start slamming things before they've even seen so much as a trailer in the theatre. For chrissake. . .give the kid a chance. You don't even have to blow 8 bucks, for cryin' out loud. YOu can download the gorram thing for free the weekend the movie is released. THEN, if you don't like it. . .you didn't waste any money.

***NOTE: I am not advocating, encouraging nor supporting movie piracy. Bootleg movies are illegal, and I personally don't do it. I was just trying to illustrate a point.

Jessica Alba as Sue Storm? Hmmmm...hmmmmm...hmmmm...hmmmm. I don't know what to say about that. Aside from the fact she doesn't have the skin, hair or eye matches to the comic character, she doesn't seem old enough to me to be The Invisible Girl.

I agree with whoever said that about Tom Cruise playing Lestat. It's up to Alba and the director to make it work. I'm glad she's getting the opportunity. Now let's hope they just don't blow it. No pun intended.

Other casting choices that bother me: Keanu Reeves as DC's John Constantine and Halle Berry as Catwoman. I wish they'd take a chance on some lesser known actors, and make an attempt to have the actors resemble the characters they are to portray. I think Toby McGuire was a great choice for Peter Parker, and Hugh Jackman (hope I have that name right) is a great Wolverine. Actually, I'm happy with all the X-Men cast. You know, I can't believe how good an actress Anna Paquin is. She doesn't seem like she'd be that good based upon her talk show appearances. Of course, with a big budget, there's enough film (which is the producer's gold) to take and re-take scenes until the shot is acted and seen the way the director wants. Maybe everything will be OK, but I'll probably wait for the DVD for all of these movies.

But not Serenity. Oh no. I'm going to be at the BDM opening night and probably see it again at the matinees either Saturday or Sunday. I get giddy just thinking about it.

If I don't walk out on stage thinking I'm the baddest motherfucker of all time, then I'm a charlatan. I whether you think I am, or he thinks I am, or she thinks I am—fuck you all, man. I don't give a fuck what you think. You're either in or you're out, and I'm playing to the in."—Greg Dulli

The clue's in the name.... hence the whole Invisible Woman arc (and that ill-judged possession arc).

I always thought Sue was somewhat younger than Reed.

Not read any Hellblazer, but it strikes me that transferring the story from a Liverpudlian in UK setting to the US may effectively alter the character totally. Yet to see anything other than photos so really don't know what to think of the movie; not a huge fan of Keanu's "range", but we shall see.

Jessica Alba is pretty young and while yes contacts and dye could make her a blue eyed blonde, (hell they could color correct every scene with her eyes in it and make them blue as the sky for that matter) but I just don't buy Alba as Sue Storm.

O.K. I think it 's much like Haley Berry being cast as Storm, Berry is small and cute, Storm is tall and statuesque I would have seen Iman playing storm to a tee and not really needing to do much in the way of acting to get the part right. Jessica is in the same boat. I can see Rachel McAddams, but Sue should be a bit more real and attractive than tiny cute hottie (like Alba is) Personally I would rather see Drew Barrymore, Kate Hudson, or Reece Witherspoon, however Hollywood is more worried about getting the horny teens in. Alba is considered hotter (espeically if they can get people to see crap like Honey just cuz she's in it!) and that is why they want hot girl over realistic casting. Personally I think that Spiderman would have been cooler if Kirstin Dunst would have played Gwen Stacey, and then they introduced MJ in Spiderman 2. but that's just my 2 cents.

I absolutely agree with you!

In fact, Dunst would have actually been a believable Gwen Stacey.
