    Beyonce doesn't seem at all like a good fit to me. I've never found her particularly attractive and she hasn't shown me that she has either the presence or acting chops to pull off a role like that. Her motivations for seeking out the part seem kind of shallow as well.

    A black Wonder Woman kind of flies in the face of the comic book character and while I'm not averse to the idea it comes back to what I've always said: you need somebody who looks great but also has presence and some acting chops, otherwise they'll look ridiculous.

    I completely agree with Tony on everything he just said.

    Also, Dan, Megan Fox > Megan Gale.

    I don't think it's a great idea myself, however I thought it was interesting, and rather coincidental considering the fuss over Craig's 'Black Bond' comments.

    ?:) Sorry, but are you saying that Megan Fox would be better than Megan Gale? :D If so, I would respectfully disagree. Not because I'm Australian (as JD would testify, I don't particularly like Nicole Kidman) but because I really don't think that Megan Fox has such a great face.

    I feel the opposite.

    She's always been a little too "booty-licious" for my tastes. Did anyone see her Grammy performance last year? Her thighs are MONSTROUS!

    Sorry, doesn't convince me. :p :)) I'm not the world's biggest fan of Megan Gale, she's too inconsistent IMO, but Megan Fox's eyes just look really odd to me. For some reason, they don't seem to match her face. Megan Gale is not my dream woman, but I do think that she is capable of being gorgeous, as opposed to Megan Fox.

    As for Beyonce, I won't disagree with you about her being less than ideal, but what on earth is wrong with her thighs? :o She's a real (granted not the most attractive) woman. :D

    Oh Dan, what are we going to do with you? :))

    I think we need a brainwashing session to get you to appreciate the finer things in life - comics, Star Trek, Megan Fox, and (don't tell Tony) Daniel Craig's Bond.

    At risk of turning this into another Izabella Stuff, I just have to say that any red-blooded heterosexual man who says no to this is blissfully in love with his wife/soulmate, has taken a vow of celibacy, or has lost a portion of his brain due to a back-alley lobotomy:

    Beyonce not attractive or just too much. . .shut the &*$# up!!

    I don't know, Beyonce doesn't do it for me. There are other SI Swimsuit girls I'd much prefer (just ask Dan Same!)

    Dan, it's official. I'm always willing to provide benefit of the doubt, but this goes beyond the pale.

    You are certifiable my friend. {:) Statements such as Megan Fox's inability of becoming gorgeous are quite beyond my capability of comprehension, and frankly, in dire need of a psychiatric evaluation. ;)

    Judging by the two gorgeous Megans, a script incorporating Diana and Drusilla is in order. And if not them, then Vampi and Pantha! :x

    Star Trek
    Oh, I do like ST. Yes, I know, only the original series counts, ;) but I've been a regular viewer of The Next Generation, Voyager, Deep Space Nine and Enterprise and I will definitely be seeing the new film.
    Megan Fox
    I don't think she's that great looking, but if I was offered an opportunity to spend a night with her, I certainly wouldn't say no. :))
    and (don't tell Tony) Daniel Craig's Bond.
    Sorry, but this is where I draw the line. Although Craig is not my least favourite Bond (that dubious honour goes to Dalton, followed by Lazenby), I'm pretty much in agreement with Tony (and Rogue) about Craig's suitability for the role. :v

    I will concede to you a great many things, but Craig's Bond being one of the finer things in life is not one of them. ;) But at least, I'm not completely opposed to three of the four things you mentioned. :D

    Yeh, I do have to admitt, that was quite harsh. ;% What I meant was that I've seen many photos of a gorgeous Megan Gale, but none really of a gorgeous Megan Fox. I honestly don't find Megan Fox to be all that attractive, however that doesn't mean that I would turn down a chance to spend some quality time with her. :v

    I realize that I've stolen Rogue's unique way of replying by emphasizing in bold - but, "gorgeous" enough for ya?

    That is indeed very nice. I don't know, I guess, maybe my tastes are quite unusual, but while I was extremely harsh in my judgement of her, she doesn't quite do it for me. I won't be all that upset however, although a little disappointed, if she does become Wonder Woman. ;)

    Alex, I've seen that photo many times, but it just never gets old.
    Plus she's supposed to be a total sex-maniac and bisexual. So... :x

    Objection, counselor :p . I don't know about Dan but I'm saying Gale looks alot more hotter and more Wonder Woman-like.
    I reiterate:

    0591077500.jpg

    This woman is totally beautiful although I regrettably admit to what Tony said earlier about her not having the familiarity factor with the mass audience. Fox wouldn't be so bad if she didn't overplay the "loose-girl look" all of the time.

    And as for the Beyonce/WW thing, that part is debatable (personally I wouldn't want to see that because WW of of Greek orgins respectively) but for ANY MAN that fails to feel their loins go into overdrive for her curvaceous body should head to their nearest pawn shop and hock their "johnson"...you no longer need it. 8-)

    Question her talent all you want, gentlemen but do not question her looks. She is hot. B-) :x

    And, Night, if Beyonce were in your face and flirted with you just abit, we'd all be able to see every tooth in your head from you grinning & blushing so hard. :p

    That's all good and fine, I'm just saying she isn't on or near my list of favorites. Of course I wouldn't turn her down, just like Dan wouldn't turn down Megan Fox.

    But I think we can no longer be friends now that you've sided with Dan on the "Two Megans: which do you choose" issue.
  • NightshooterNightshooter In bed with SolitairePosts: 2,917MI6 Agent
    And maybe Gale would be a better WW - admittedly I've never found WW to be particularly hot anyway, she's always had too masculine a look for me, so yeah, Gale would work for that look.

    :)) :)) On a woman none of us remotely have a chance in Hades of ever being with? C'mon, man, I thought that we were tighter than that. :)) :))

    And yes, if the hyopothetical instance I just gave ever came to fruition, Beyonce would catapult up your "list". Every other guy in here who had a list would too. :p

    Wow, I don't check this thread for a few hours and this is what I find. Rogue and Night at each others throats, Alex threatening to censure Dan (no that he doesn't deserve it), etc. :s

    Just a few random thoughts:

    - With regard to Beyonce: whenever she opens her mouth one thought springs to my mind: V-A-P-I-D. She may be attractive, she may be sweet, she may be approachable, she may be bootylicious, but she completely lacks presence; something I associate strongly with WW. WW has to be desirable but also formidable and even a little intimidating. Not too many people can nail that combination, certainly not Beyonce as far as I'm concerned.

    - With regard to Dan admitting he has unconventional tastes: that's like saying the pope is catholic; the most obvious and unnecessary revelation of the day. One more thing Dan, you cannot call yourself a Star Trek fan until you've seen some of TOS. That's not an opinion, that's a fact.

    - With regard to Megan Gale, she will never be Wonder Woman for one simple reason: she is a complete non-entity who hasn't been within a thousand miles of an even moderately mainstream film or TV show. I'm also not completely sold on her looks; her appearance is really inconsistent from image to image and her face looks downright plain a lot of the time (witness Nightshooter's image). Oh, and she has some really scary man-hands. Check them out sometime.

    - With regard to Megan Fox: I honestly don't think she will ever be Wonder Woman either. While I think she could pull off the character (she defintely has that combination of sex appeal and imposing presence that I mentioned) she strikes me as too much of an immature rebel to be attached to something like that. She freaks out at the mere mention of her lifestyle or tattoos (and then promptly goes and gets another one etched onto her - at the rate she's going she should pass Angelina Jolie by the end of the month). She really needs to grow up a little, because with her kind of attitude, she'll wear out her welcome pretty quickly.

    Now back to our regularly scheduled bloodletting. Carry on...
