mnemex and I went to see Catwoman. Good silly fun. The movie played fair, even if the plot was obvious, and the holes we spotted weren't too offensive for our intelligence to handle.
Interesting. Manny went to see it this week and said it was one of the most impressively bad movies he'd ever seen and he kept thinking, "It can't stay this bad. It just can't." Which of course kept him in his seat, at least, just to find out. It apparently could.
Um. Actually, I think it was more the clothes which were poured onto Halle Berry. Or dribbled, perhaps.
Mostly, the movie's major grace was not taking itself seriously. At all -- with that, decent cinematography, and good (if not believable, even a little bit; the plot stretches even more than Berry's clothes do) writing, there's only so bad you can get.
Well, apart from the apparent 15 years of testing a product, once one takes the rules of the movie's pulplogic and magic cats, where is the actual -bad-?

But we -expected- bad, and it was a fun, intelligent, "yeah, we know the world doesn't actually work this way" kind of bad.
And hey, it's a movie with a black, self-confident superambiguious fighting against evil cosmetics. There's some good there. :)
