Iron Man 2

A lot of news has been breaking at Comic-Con, which is understandable.

One bit which has really dismayed me, though, is that Scarlett Johansson is going to be playing one of the baddies in Iron Man 2.

If you're one of those deluded idiots who thinks that this woman is still one of the best actresses in the world, I suggest you go and watch The Prestige. That film is fantastic. Christopher Nolan even managed to get a briliant performance out of Hugh Jackman, who's not exactly the worlds greatest actor. But EVERY TIME that useless bloody woman walks on screen the charisma is sucked out. She kills almost every scene she's in, it's remarkable.

I haven't seen her in a good film. Ever. Lost in Translation was hugely over rated, she was easilly the worst thing in The Black Dahlia and don't even get me started on The Island.

Admittedly, I haven't seen Ghost World where apparently her total lack of any talent or charisma is quite in keeping with the tone of the film but...

Seriously, people, I get that people like her because she's good looking but can we stop thinking with our dicks, please? She is not a good actor, period. Kate Winslet? She's a good actor, as is Maggie Gyllenhaal, as is Grace Park.

Hopefully she won't be in too much of Iron Man 2 because if Christopher Nolan couldn't get a decent performance out of her, there's no way Jon Favreau will be able to...
