That’s right Halle, it’s all about you

Seems like Halle Berry is done playing superheroes who have limited speaking skills (BTW, this photo is one of the few I could find from Catwoman that I’d consider appropriate):
“After playing Storm in ‘X-Men’ and now Catwoman, I think my comic book hero days are probably over.”
“That’s unless I was lucky enough to play Catwoman again. I would love to do that. But other than that, I think I’ve pretty much done it.”
I just find it amusing that she’d be willing to play Catwoman again… I mean it was so much fun and empowering for her. It’s irrelevant that Catwoman has only earned $31 million worldwide so far and it cost $100 million to make. Maybe they’ll make another one just to keep her happy…
BTW, both X-Men movies were wildly successful despite her presence, not due to it.
I think it would be a bonus if they kept her off of X-Men 3. Then again, there’s no guarantee it will be any good now that Bryan Singer has signed on to do Superman.

The failure of Catwoman wasn’t entirely Halle’s fault. If she had been cast as the villain in a somewhat decent Batman movie, it might have gone over better. The general fascination with Halle is what helped the movie avoid crashing and burning completely, but it was still a huge mistake to even make that movie. The studio should have known better than to greenlight that turkey, and Halle should have had the common sense to turn down the role, or at least demand a major rewrite. Halle’s problem is that she hasn’t mastered the fine art of knowing when to say “yes” and when to say “no” to a movie offer.

You’ll get a kick out of the reaction to my article from a well-known flamebaiting liberal troll on the BlogCritics.org site.
Good grief… talk about missing the point! The disrespectful and outrageous reactions to your article were completely inappropriate. You stood up well for yourself, though, as always.
Brian
Yup. Real piece of work, that one. I’ve decided to ignore him/her/whatever from here on out.

Wow! Oh how I wish I could have gotten into that discussion. Good job standing up for ‘reason and rationale’. BTW, how come the dialogue doesn’t appear on the Screen Rant site?
As far as the movie goes:
It’s just one more reason to hate cats, in case you needed one.
Blogcritics is far more popular than Screenrant. I double post there since their readership is larger.
