Lois Lane Looks Ridiculous

I must admit, I'm pretty darn excited about Superman Returns. I'm not sure why either, because I've always considered the whole Superman thing to be pretty lame. The fact that he's essentially invincible kinda takes the fun out of it for me. As does the utter lameness of his interest in journalism. Puh-leeze.

But let's get down to the objectification of women.

Kate Bosworth has been cast as Lois Lane. Since I'm not a big watcher of teen-girl romantic dramas or surfing movies, I've never seen her act in anything.

However, when I heard about the choice, I figured that she would at least provide some eye candy between shots of Supes being messianic and Kevin Spacey hamming it up with a haircut that no living being could possibly avoid staring at in every scene.

Well, let's just say that Bosworth's move to brunette for this role hasn't done her much good. I'm not going to say she looks bad, but she certainly doesn't look like this:







Wikipedia says she was admitted to Princeton as a 16 year old and continues to defer her entry. Then again, Wikipedia says a lot of things. Maybe the professors in Jersey will teach her not to dye her hair again. OH SNAP!
