How in the sam hill did anyone think Vince could pull off Norman??? I however think that Rosie played Betty very well. Her friend Madonna, if she's in a title female part, is box office poison and has the acting chops to back it up.

Kate Bosworth was a terrible choice. A 23 year old Lois lane with a ten year old son. Yeah, that made sense.
Joseph Gordon-Levitt as Cobra Commander? What the Hell? I am not going to get any sleep tonight.
You didn't like Vinny Jones in X3?
Off the top of my head, Madonna was a horrible choice for Evita. She did not have the voice to sing that part.

Oh my :faint: regarding Madonna. She won a Golden Globe for her performance. As a matter of fact, she studied with a voice coach to train herself vocally. I have that soundtrack and her voice never sounded better. The clarity and the softness are so beautiful. Not that pop voice we had been hearing since her Like A Virgin days.
As for the Honeymooners, I agree. Can't argue that point.
I also agree with the Charlie Angels movie and casting those three. I am especially :puke: with the choice of Cameron Diaz. I mean, does she (other than Jennifer Aniston) have to be in every single movie that is made? :rolleyes:
^ Find a copy of the original broadway recording of Evita with Patti Lupone.
Madonna doesn't even come close.

I have heard Patti's singing. Remarkable lady. But Patti is Patti and Madonna is Madonna. It is no different than comparing someone to Mariah Carey. You just can't. Patti is in a league all her own. So is Mariah. And of course, so is Madonna. ;)
