Christian Bale allegedly to star as John Connor in Terminator 4.

Now, I love that CB could pretty much have consulted my brain for "things I love" and decided to star in them, starting in 1992 (Newsies? Equilibrium? Velvet Goldmine? Batman, for christ's sake?), but seriously, Terminator? Only I loved T3, and even I acknowledged it was terrible. And while I do have a big ol' crush on John Connor, and my heart might explode with love if CB played him, there is no way this will be good. At all. Seriously, CB needs to pick better roles than this! He can actually act! Why would he do this?

Anyway, it's not confirmed, and while part of me hopes it'll happen, most of me hopes it won't, for his sake. (Besides, I'd like Nick Stahl back as John Connor; he was pretty fantastic, and on top of that, he kind of looked like the lovechild of Linda Hamilton and Michael Biehn.)

In other news, the Sarah Connor Chronicles premiers soon. It also looks terrible. I will watch it regardless. I love Sarah Connor, too.

I had a call shift today, and didn't end up working; this is actually okay with me, because it means that instead, this evening Kat and I are going to go see a Red Eye/Brothers Grimm double feature. And this despite my deep fear of horror/thriller movies! I've heard mostly good things about Red Eye, already hate airplanes anyway, and am intrigued. As for the Brothers Grimm, despite it's mediocre and mixed reviews, it has Matt Damon. That's really all Kat and I require.

So hopefully it will be a good night.

Dan and I saw Sky High last week and out of boredom I just glanced at a few Sky High summaries at FFnet. And poooor Warren. He was my favorite character, too, but I'm pretty sure every single fic was Warren/OC. Which, especially in a fandom I assume is mostly fairly young writers, means Warren/Mary Sue for at least 80% of them.

A small part of me is wondering if there's any Warren/Will, though. Because there should be.

I went to the Fantastic Four rundown and, um, ( it was special. )

Okay, let me get this out of my system first: Jesus god, Christian Bale is hot. Hott. Hawt. Guuuuhotwant. They hit three of my serious squee factors:
1) Pretty man in pajama pants, no shirt, and hair in his eyes
2) Pretty man getting beaten up and looking all intense and hot about it
3) Pretty man in a (you know what's coming) tuxedo
;ljkasdflkjsdf;ljafds

Okay, I'm better now. CB was an amazing Bruce Wayne, and a passable Batman--he didn't have the voice for it, but otherwise was great.

For the most part, I really liked the movie. There were a few things I didn't, and most of them were "what?! but that's not canon!!!" issues, which is ridiculous because a) I don't even know bat!canon that well, and b) I hate That Fan.

( More, some mild-ish spoilers )

So, overall, I am pleased. it wasn't a bad action movie, and it wasn't a bad comic book movie, and lordy, CB is hot.

The thunderstorm passed through, so I'm off to see Batman at the prescreening! (Which is probably later than cities that acutally do midnight showings; our first showing of the movie is tomorrow early afternoon.)

I'll review when I get home. :)

I really did enjoy it. I just have a lot of complaints as well. Anyway, everything behind the LJ cut is my reaction, including spoilers; so... if you're anti-spoiler, don't look. Most of them are pretty minor, though.

Today was interesting. I went with a group of eleven others to see Star Wars at 12:15, and we arrived in Boston at 6, so do that math for yourself. Some of us killed a few hours at dinner, the rest didn't; the four of us (not me) who were in costume were interviewed, photographed, and taped numerous times, and I think we've had confirmation they were only at least two news broadcasts. Rockin'.

As for the movie itself, it was better than I expected. I'm sure sometime tomorrow I'll post my Exponentially Awful (subtitle: I Find Your Lack of Chemistry Disturbing) theory, but that and a few logical flaws aside, I really enjoyed it. Yoda got applause every time he appeared on screen, as well he should. Obi-Wan was also quite cool. Overall, it tied things together well. Baby!Luke and Baby!Leia gave me a squeaky girl moment. D'awwwww.

And now, to bed. For tomorrow, there must be hardcore packing.

ETA, how could I forget? The Batman Begins preview killed me dead. Luckily, Dan is a good sport about having me lean on his shoulder and sigh, "He's so dreeeeamy, I love him."

poisonivory got me, and I'm bored and reeeeeally don't want to pack right now, so here goes.

Someday I'm going to figure out what it is about the movie The Iron Giant that makes me cry each and every time I see it, no matter how good of a mood I'm in, and that I know what's coming. I cry every single time.

Allrighty, I'm back from seeing the HitchGuide movie. I really enjoyed it--it stayed true to the characters, if not the plot. Which it couldn't have, as there isn't really a plot. The comedic timing in the movie was amazing.

I have a headcold and my knee hurts a whole lot. Home tomorrow. This is good.
