Re: Amy Adams cast as Lois Lane
Richard White was kind of a useless character that was created for that movie to add an extra layer of separation between Lois and Clark. He didn't do much for the story. They probably only had him be a pilot so that he wouldn't be completely useless.
Parker Posey is awesome, though her character was kind of useless too. They were clearly trying to repeat the success that Valerie Perrine had playing Ms. Teschmacher in the original two movies. Valerie and Ned Beatty were the comic reliefs of the original movies and they worked for the '70s. However, nowadays, comic reliefs aren't used as much, so her character seemed a bit out of place.
The roll of Lois was a bit big for Kate, though I thought she did an acceptable job playing the part. We'll see if Amy does any better.
I thought everyone else did a great job in Superman Returns. It will be interesting to see how this new cast does.
