Nope, Greek. Not Greek-American either; her father was a diplomat, and
she met Matt while attending Columbia while her father was on duty in
the States.
Trained by various ninja clans though, thus the Asian mix-up. But other
than making a passing nod to her origin having echoes of Elektra from
the ancient Greek play, there's no real reason the character has to be
Greek.

Of course, there is.
I thought the costume was... Weird. Not very sensible, and hardly any
connection to her ninja capacities. Can you imagine her fighting in that
outfit?
I suppose she might distract some adversaries when her boobs get exposed...

myself about this, and since I think it'll be a couple of hours before
he gets online I can inform you that Ghost is pretty sure she was
Greek, which makes sense in vew of her name, and means that Jennifer
Garner is a pretty astute casting choice.
Although after listening to the guy behind the counter of the comic
shop yesterday bitching about Tobey Maguire in "Spider-Man", I'm
pretty sure that whoever is cast is going to be bagged by at least
some fanboys.

Not right now there's not, but I read that Marvel has Jennifer Garner
under contract for 3 more movies, so it may happen.
But she makes a kick-ass action star, so I don't think I'd mind.
She's the only reason why I'm interested in the Daredevil movie.

Omigod. I don´t think that is a particularly good idea. And is this picture
actually showing her as Elektra...? Too small, not skinny enough, not red
enough. NOT ENOUGH!

Well, can you imagine anyone fighting in the original Elektra outfit?
She MUST be a Ninja to be able not to flash her privates...

might work. An original redhead would have been better, though...

Well, I dunno if I would call me an expert on too much of anything...
but I was right. Go figure. And I never even read an Electra comic.
She made a couple of appearances in Wolverine comics forever ago
though.
And like the old saying goes... 'Everything in life I needed to know I
learned from Wolverine comics.'

Hm, so Elektra is being featured in the DD movie, and not in her own. Oh.
This is going to make for a crowded movie, I fear.

Forgot to answer that in my previous mail: redheads seem persona non grata
at Hollywood. I can't think of a single fiction redhead who has been
translated as a screen redhead. The summum may have been reached by Morgan
Freeman playing "Red" in SHAWSHANK REDEMPTION. (In a similar example, there
was also Blackthorne, a very blond English sailor finding himself stranded
in feodal Japan, in SHOGUN, played by Richard Chamberlain, who's only very
marginally blond in the TV series...)
This is one of my pet peeves at Hollywood.

Vacation in America. You won't be bothered by it at all. (Unless the
U.S. do manage to sneak out of their group by playing well against
Poland.) Schedule your escape from Germany 2006 now!
I'd think you'd now have to go through the accusation phase where
people spend endless hours trying to place the blame on France's quick
exit. Or maybe that's just an American sports thing.
Ah well. Bring on the Tour de France.

Okay, Reg. Get your brain out of your pants: I was talking about characters,
not actors/tresses. There IS a difference, you know. And I was talking about
MALE characters. (although it works with actors, too: Robert Redford is not
a redhead - he's a strawberry blond, and so is Eric Stolz. Because some
unwritten rule says that redheads are characters actors, never male romantic
leads.)
And last thing, Reg: I mention what Hollywood seems to say, not what I

Yes, but then again, Hollywood says that women over thirty-five don't
exist, that 80% of all African American males in professional
employment are Denzel Washington, that Michael Douglas can act and
that by the simple act of taking off her glasses, a teenage girl can
transform herself from a social pariah into the prom queen.
Hollywood is a big, stupid and nervous animal with the attention span
of a goldfish and the sense of adventure of an eighty-five year-old
retired accountant.

rather foolish and inoffensive character really.

I'll say you do. Ron Howard in HAPPY DAYS can be considered cute, but "male

Yep, which is basically my point, although I was just focused on the subject
of male redheaded characters.

Oh, don't get me wrong, it worked magnificently, and I'm very happy Freeman
did the role. It's still a case of another redheaded character not reaching
the screen...
Jimmy Olsen had light brown hair, Matt Murdock will be played by Ben Affleck
in DAREDEVIL, Kurdy in JEREMIAH is played by a Black, TINTIN has always been
blond on-screen, Norman and Harry Osborn are brown-haired. And I'm sure
there are many more examples...
I know they used a Scandinavian blond to play the Punisher, but it doesn't
really make up for it, does it?

Well, the weather was rather good here on Saturday, considering it is
Winter.
My theory is that the heating fairy visited her apartment and
conferred upon her the power to make it warm without power bills that
require one to sell body parts.
And I know I had a bloody good day as well.
Helped my best friend move into a fantastic new place, (complete with
mysterious boarded up cellar and open fireplaces,) and then went to a
charity trivia night where my knowledge of useless information
conferred oracular status upon me. (And the fact that it was mostly
parents from the local school and my party consisted of me and three
very attractive ladies didn't hurt the ego either.:-))
Maybe it was just a good day to be in Melbourne. Of which there are
many.:-)

Well,...I've got two outta three curently, the red hair comes and goes,...but
the large breasts are perment.
In fact, one night when I was going to pick up the boi (we work in the same

The Boi: My girlfriend, and she's late.
Asian dealer: Who are you dating?
The Boi: Jinx,...she was having lunch with me today when you stopped by.

I certainly had a happy Saturday - Hung out with Thingies (NightWalker was
in town, so he and James and I hung out), dragged 'the boy' along. And while
I did lose Walker and the boy for a time while they went all geek-boy on us,
it was a fun lunch. And then I picked up my pretty pendant (courtesy of boy)
and it was just a good day...

Me too! Or is that me 3 or 4 now since we've all seemed to have good
Saturdays? I actually made headway into unsnarling the pile of
portfolio cds and then had great and cheap bourbon chicken with red
beans n rice and *then* went to the "Gorey Stories" play and had a
wonderfully funny creepy time.
I did kick myself for not having a camera though. In the theatre
building, a wedding party had used one of the rooms for the reception
and had decorated the entry with a fair amount of white tulle. One
bit was left at the end of the night, draped over the head of a
grotesque (actually he was part of the stairway banister) with some
leaves around it. He looked so pathetically sad, sitting at the end of
the stairs wearing his white tulle veil and a sorrowful expression...
almost like he'd been jilted by the bride or something. A photo-op if
ever there was one - and me with my trusty Pentax at home. Rats.

Well I fit none of those criteria, although I can grow a red beard, so
can we also include the category of chain-smoking, weedy short-haired
guys with receding hairlines who don't have beards because they are

I think it's great to hear when fellow thingies have had a good day.
Too often, we only need to vent about the bad days, which is fine too.
I think pone of the things that is great about this newsgroup is the
way everyone offers sympathy when one of us is hurting, but I also get
a real buzz out of hearing that one of us has had a really good day.
I'm glad you were bubbly JJ. So was I, as any thingies I chatted to
wil attest.:-)

My Saturday was interesting.
Went to a gig in Cardiff.
It was in a bar above an ice hockey ring!
:O
Try to imagine a room full of goths, industrial and spooky kids with
some punks thrown in as fun...in a hockey bar!
And, the average age was 16!
I had a good time, though, and it sure beat staying home.

I like the way you think. He was beautiful in that weren't he? (In
that film, my top totty table works at 1. Eric, 2. Viggo Mortenson
(only just slightly in front of) 3. Christopher Walken, 4. Elias
Koteas.) I wonder if there's a R.2 DVD available (unlikely as P.1 was
straight to video and P.2 and 3 were never released at all over here).
Oh well, I've got it on video so I'll have to make do.

The problem with Prophecy is that his character dies part way through,
so am left with little motivation to continue watching. But on the
other hand, this was before I realised the appeal of Viggo, so perhaps
all would not be lost. (Saw the Psycho remake on telly the other
week, and I'm 99 percent certain that Marion Crane's boyfriend was
played by Viggo Mortensen, albeit as a blond - film starts with v
yummy post-coital scene, that has him jump out of bed stark naked and
stand before the window, showing a rather nice fullbody backview to
the camera .... very mmmmm)
Christopher Walken is always a must-see, but not in a lustful way
really.

With all those "hoochy" videos, it's refreshing to see something just
about the music. And Walken enjoyed the shoot I hear.

Yes, that was a classy video indeed.
And didn't he dance in Wayne's World 2, too?

I don't remember-I'll have to watch it the next time it's on TV.
He does dance in "Pennies From Heaven" (a Steve Martin film) and I
seem to remember him dancing on a Saturday Night Live that he hosted.

Oh, he recently did a brief bit of hoofing when he appeared in
"America's Sweethearts" with John Cusak and Catherine Zeta Jones.
You can tell he was having lots of fun in "Weapon of Choice" video.
That was an inspired piece of casting!

He's hosted twice and do the Continental both times,....it totally slays me. My
dear friend Sir Jon does the best imatation and it just lays me out whereever
we are.

Wasn't he on Broadway in a dancing role?

He was actually a professional dancer from 1946 to 1965. (and has
been throwing small and large bits of dancing into his screen roles
since 1977's Roseland, where he appropriately played a
dancer-turned-gigolo whose redemption comes in in putting the nob away
and getting the flat shoes on again. cf. the dodgy American film
remake of Pennies From Heaven, The Deer Hunter, Brainstorm, King Of
New York, The Funeral, Suicide Kings et copious alias including, of
all things, Brendan Fraser vehicle Blast From The Past.)

If I remember well, Walken actually *started* by being a dancer. In this
regard, he has had a career similar to James Cagney's. Cagney was a dancer
first, even he is just remembered nowadays (ever seen YANKEE DODDLE DANDY?)
for his tough guy roles.

The funniest thing I've ever seen Walken do was a stripping tap dance
rendition of "Let's Misbehave." Can't remember the movie it's from,
though. It's nearly as creepy as the "Like A Virgin" scene from
Moulin Rouge.

I don't remember the exact scene, but it sure sounds like something from

Oh, I don't know. Depends on how weird I'm feeling at that particular mo'.
Sheri,
who must be in a very strange mood today to think Christopher Walken might
be sexy....
