Yesterday I heard Eartha say that she played Catwoman in only 3 episodes of Batman.

It's true. But I remembering being entranced by her performance when I was a kid. She was simply transcendant! After all, she only recorded "Santa Baby" once and her version still beats Madonna's! LOL.

On RottenTomatoes.com it only has a 10% positive rating. That's somewhat lower than Ishtar. Some samples:
"It's not even campy enough for a good laugh."

"Catwoman doesn't belong on the big screen. It belongs in the litter box or to be scraped off the bottom of our shoes as we head quickly for another theater."

"Putting Halle Berry in a tight leather suit is a good idea. The rest of the movie is not."

"Most of the movie has the cruddy lighting and generic, death-by-franchise atmosphere of a third-rate spectacle that's been worked over by too many hacks."

"A stinky hairball on the soiled rug of the summer blockbuster schedule, gruesome enough to have been ejected from the esophagus of Bill the Cat..."

"You'd never know Berry is an Oscar-winning actress -- her performance as Patience is downright amateurish."

"This plodding, by-the-numbers superhero flick has all the feline grace of a walleyed mastiff."

"Spayed and declawed update of the oft-told DC Comics tale."

"If Halle Berry keeps this up, she's going to have to give that Oscar back."

"...makes me long for the quiet dignity of Arnold Schwarzenegger’s performance in "Batman and Robin."
After reading these, I for one cannot wait to see it, if only to be reminded of how loony Sharon Stone is.

Tish,

All the quotes are funny, but this one takes the cake.

It made think of the time when one of my brothers forced me to watch Twins with him--about halfway through I got up & he grabbed me by the arm saying "Come on, he's (Schwarzenegger)not that bad...!" <insert whining here>. To which I replied "He is that bad...in fact he's worse than Brooke Shields--no, scratch that, he's worse than Victoria Principal!" To which he replied "You see, that's where you're wrong. No one, absolutely no one is worse than Victoria Principal..." He tried really hard to make me stay, but I scaped. Our mom wasn't as fortunate, though. He made her stop what she was doing just to watch the movie with him.

Well, I saw it..
It wasn't horribly bad, but it wasn't extremely good either..

There was one scene in the movie though, where Midnight was howling, that in a good way..

"You know, Lassie would have brought me keys.."
That was the only laugh in the movie that moe than one person laughed at. :P

It wasn't a total stinker, but I'm glad I waited for video. I did laugh out loud at the Lassie line. Halle cut a seriously fine figure in that outfit....ah, to have a personal trainer and 2 hours a day to work out lol.

I watched the extras and 'The Many Faces of Catwoman' was pretty entertaining. Eartha Kitt is one scary woman.
