If there’s anything that we can appreciate it, it’s the Mormoniest actress becoming the love interest of the Mormoniest superhero that we know of. Amy Adams has a new role.
The lady’s been in everything, becoming Hollywood’s go-to redhead ever since Isla Fischer decided to pop out a few of Borat’s babies and leave the scene ceremoniously — and fresh off of a successful awards season for her turn as Mark Wahlberg’s unlikely support in The Fighter, Zack Snyder has decided that she fits the description of Lois Lane. Enough to put her in his new Superman reboot. Speaking of which, did anybody see Sucker Punch over the weekend? I heard it reeked of rampant sexism, indirection, and lobotomies – to the point that people are decrying it as the death of modern filmmaking. You mean finally people are finally owning up to scantily clad women and loose plots as the death of cinema? Somebody must go now, and piss in Michael Bay’s Cheerios or hit the milk carton out of his hand while he’s trying to drink from it…all these things. They all need to happen in the next two hours.
For those of you wondering, Amy Adams is 36. Henry Cavill, the new Superman, is in his late 20’s. You go, Amy Adams – you look like you’ve just broken out of a sorority. Or Cavill looks equivalent in age. One or the other.
If you’re wondering whether or not Zack Snyder is the best hands to put Superman into – the answer is no. You’d be better off handing him to a man named ‘Babyshaker Jones’. Fortunately, his Wikipedia page has one of the creepiest entries on any modern filmmaker I’ve seen, which is ‘Snyder’s mother inspired him to study nude paintings a year after high school at Heatherley School of Fine Art in England, although he had already begun filmmaking.’
Thanks for the bizarre encouragement, Synder parentals.
