Halle Berry on Jinx

Today on 'The View' (or as I call it 'Watch Elisabeth The Entire Time' who I must say was sporting quite a nice top that showed off her... well, you know
) Halle Berry was on! She came in to talk about her role in 'Perfect Stranger' and whatnot and how she likes to play female characters that are more "real and faced with real problems as those are the more relatable characters and how they have something to overcome."
Barbara Walters moves on to ask "What about your character of Jinx in the James Bond movie?" Halle continues to say about how it's much more than Jinx and says: "People don't relate to Jinx, Who's Jinx? I don't know who she is either!" with a none-too-happy look on her face after saying the sentence!
Being one of the most hated Bond girls of the franchise, do you think that Halle didn't really enjoy portraying her? I know Rick Yune was begging the producers to let him be Col. Moon instead of Zao, but it seems like the cast of 'Die Another Day' didn't come out smiling. Thoughts?
(On a sad note, they put Halle between Rosie and Joy, and not next to Elisabeth, which is a shame because that would've been a sight to see.

As for Halle Berry and her acting choices - the lady picked Catwoman, Jinx and her character in X men was the least developed out of any of the mutants. As modest and as much as she may look back and laugh at her failures she still continues to pick them.
Halle Berry is not the most hated Bond girl. She has certainly become a shoe-in for any "Top 10 Bond Girls" polls and surveys. 8-)
The Bond fan base may not have been too impressed, but she is still held in high regard by the general public.

I just wish she'd do more Monster's Ball rather than Catwomans.
Oh and JFF, I still question you for liking the view. But your views are funny mr "AVTAK is Bond gold, whereas CR is utter rubbish" 8-)
I've actually heard good things about "Perfect Stranger". And I'd strongly recommend you watch the film where Berry played Dorothy Dandridge before completely dismissing her.
People have opinions, Fish, deal with them without getting so angry and aggressive. You're sucking the light hearted debate and fun from every thread you post on.
Try smiling once in a while, it might help.
I just thought it was very interesting how she responded to Barbara's question, because in a way she was trying to stop Graves, which I'm sure wasn't the easiest thing in the world to do. Perhaps upon reflection Halle didn't enjoy it as much? I don't know, I guess someone would have to outright ask her about it.
Anyway, back on topic - Halle Berry, ring a ding ding ;%
What do you mean by a downployed Stacy? I do think the character could be greatly improved, but I think Roberts did well with her material.
So you like my views on TB? Are you anti-TB? I don't recall. Anyway, as Sir Hilary mentioned earlier, how putting Halle between those two would make for a very bad sandwich, putting Elisabeth and Halle together would make two very nice buns. ;%
And she looked amazing too. Both of them.
Halle Berry is better seen and not heard, and if she's seen, it's better to put her in erotic poses than show her doing challengimg actions such as running. Of course, in her defense, letting a couple of simpletons like P and W (I almost wrote P and U, which I think will be my new designation for them) give her such blaxploitation-esque drivel like "yo momma" to say doesn't help.
Fish, you can watch DAD as many times as you want and be so convinced that Halle Berry gave a terrific performance, but that doesn't mean we all have to bow down to your judgement. You have a constant, annoying habit of presenting your opinions as irrefutable. Not to mention you are unfairly playing the race card here. Can you be civil for once? ?:)

I wont comment on Dan's behaviour, but Fish - if you liken yourself to Dan, and disapprove of his actions - why continue?
As for when somebody disagrees - such as on a topic like Halle Berry's performance in DAD - they are as correct as what you are, there is no right or wrong.
How exactly did you draw such a slanderous conclusion? From Dan and JFF, professing admiration for Berry, as an actress? Or was it from their disagreement with your personal assessment of Jinx, so that naturally equates racism and sexism.
To use your own phrase from another thread, is Berry's performance, is anybody's, "set in stone"?
Another mod already asked you to lighten up, consider this the second warning.
