[ audio selection<\/b> | beastie boys \u2013 ch-check it out<\/i> ]<\/p>\n\n\n\n

theres like a laundry list of interesting movie and tv news today. interesting, but kinda bleh. ill start with the lukewarm and move down to the disagreeable. first is a follow-up to last weeks post about fantastic four<\/a> castings, with sue storm still being a toss-up between jessica alba and elisha cuthbert. news surfaced today however that jessica alba has in fact landed the role of sue storm\/invisible girl<\/a>. wrong call dudes, elisha cuthbert fits the bill better. i mean, i have nothing against alba\u2026shes quite the cutie. but who are these casting directors? do they sniff glue? i hope alba knows how to pull off blonde, b\/c im not feeling this casting.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

MAGIC HANDS<\/b>
next up is kind of laughable and semi-disposable\u2026but still interesting. jessica \u201cchicken of the sea<\/i>\u201d simpson had supposedly sent in an audition tape to the producers of x-men 3<\/i> with the hopes that they might be able to create a role for her, specifically as the dazzler<\/a>. yea thats right, the dazzler\u2026the viciously over-powered 80s progeny with the amazing ability to transform sound into light. thats uncanny! and its reported that simpson did<\/i> actually land a role in x3<\/i>\u2026a cameo as \u201ca lounge-singer to introduce the character of dazzler.<\/i>\u201d thats\u2026super. the dazzler\u2026super. i suppose i should concede that she is pretty much the spitting image of dazzler, so i cant complain that she doesnt look the part. break out the disco balls and roller skates.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

LOIS LANE CAST<\/b>
and the big news for today (for smallville<\/i> fans anyway) is that the coveted role of lois lane has reportedly been cast. and the winner of the \u201cid better be hotter than kristin kreuk<\/i>\u201c-contest is\u2026erica durance<\/a>! eh? right then\u2026erica durance, a relatively unknown canadian actress whos had roles on andromeda<\/i> and tru calling<\/i>. of course the first thing i had to do was to track down a picture of her. and i did. and im kind of sad now. because while shes by no means ugly, shes not exactly how id pictured lois lane to look. admittedly tho, i think they really overstepped their means when they cast someone as beautiful as kristin kreuk<\/a> for the inevitably rejected lana lang. lois lane, as the person clark kent eventually chooses over lana lang (ie: kristin kreuk), wouldve been a hard cast. ill give them the benefit of the doubt here and see how her role evolves. im hoping to be thoroughly surprised by this actress.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
