Man Of Steel

Sorry we'll just have to disagree there Gip. And FWIW, me & wifie have had a long running debate as to who would have made a more "Elvish" Galadriel in LOTR- Margo Kidder,or Kate Blanchette- I would have picked Kidder in a heartbeat. (Saroise Ronan unfortunately would have been too young at the time) Kate probably got the role because she's almost 6' tall- I don't think she's anywhere near the "most beautiful elf in the world" not by a long shot.
Yea, I guess we WILL disagree on that. Cate Blanchette is one of the best actresses in the last 50 years, Margot Kidder one of the worst. Though I also don't think that Cate is an absolute beauty, her gravitas is what helps her excel in that role.
(and, if any man thinks that Amy Adams is hotter than Teri Hatcher, then I will say there is a man with twisted testicles. Not that I dislike Amy. I have liked her in many things...and she wasn't "bad" here. Just not my ideal for the role)
Cate Blanchette is one of the best actresses in the last 50 years, Margot Kidder one of the worst. Though I also don't think that Cate is an absolute beauty, her gravitas is what helps her excel in that role.
^+100.
cate blanchette has amazed me in every movie she's made. to say she isn't beautiful means you know squadoosh about beauty. her scenes in 'benjamin button' are unbelieveable. and yes i did get a chubby seeing her in LOR. but that actually detracts from her acting ability.

OK, I submit. Cate is gorgeous.

It was meh for Me and the fact they based his family Kansas was a huge "no-no" for Me...Superman is and will always be an Ohioan to Me...The producers really dropped the ball I think and turned superman into some fucked up EMO dude.

Uh, I think the original story placed Clark Kent in Smallville, Kansas. The thing that was changed so often is that it was Cleveland, and not really NYC or others, that was the basis for Metropolis.
The old 50s TV show had Metropolis as basically being LA. The modern movies had NYC. Smallville seemed to put Metropolis kinda about where Kansas City would be, i.e not that far from Smallville, Kansas.

Sorry guys, but Cate is plain Jane to me. Don't see it. But opinions are like assholes, everyone has one and they all stink.

I submitted to the Cate is gorgeous conclusion because I see her as a great actress, and whose looks, while not that of the typical Playboy Bunny, Beauty Queen beautiful, are the looks of a sophisticated poised woman..which I think she is and often plays.
-
^exactly.
i don't think of her as the ultimate beauty queen but as "man i'd love to F the shit out of this woman!!!" type babe. her class and sophistication overrides all of that and her talent as an actress can not be denied. (although i question her role in HANNAH and other recent ventures).
one of her best films is based on a true story and is worth watching when you have time: VERONICA GUERIN. which is an A+ in my book.
yeah there's something about a woman who is not 'perfect' looking. first they don't come off as being dumb. second who knows, you might get a shot at it? have you seen the hags that are runway models nowadays (except of course victoria's secrect.....but i betcha between them they couldn't pass a fifth grade math or science quiz)?i know cate is australian but some of the prettiest but not perfect woman are coming out of eastern europe now. the russina, the czechs.
yummy. (sorry you commie hating right wingers, but it's true). -

Really? I didn't know that. I thought Smallville was always considered to be in Kansas. I will defer to your knowledge, obviously.
If it wasn't known to be in Kansas from the 30s to the 80s where was it? Or was it just a generic Midwest US small town?
If so, it could have been Ohio.
Here is Wikipedia discussion of the location of Smallville. And yes, Kansas wasn't a definitive Smallville location until 50 years on into the comic series.
-
Also Smallville isn't that far from Metropolis. So what word Metropolis be? Kansas city? I don't think so.

the ultimate question...ginger or mary ann?
one was like the good girl next door who would be cautious and afraid (tosome people is appealing...hmmm)
OR you could go with the actress who slept her way up to a starring role (so she knwos what she's doing).
HMMMM let me think.
the scared virgin obviously.
