In Either/Or, we take two people in similar pursuits, and you choose between them. It can be based on any criteria: professional ability, personality, intellectual prowess, physical pulchritude, or who you’d want backing you up in a knife fight. It really doesn’t matter: just choose Either/Or.
Super Heroines: Either Maggie Gyllenhaal in “The Dark Knight”:
Or Gwyneth Paltrow in “Iron Man”:
Super heroes: Either Christian Bale in “The Dark Knight”:
Or Robert Downey Jr. in “Iron Man”:

Dang, that ol’ Maggie Gyllenhaal is dee-licious. And not too shabby of an actress. Her replacing Katie Holmes for the second “Batman” installment was a considerable improvement. Paltrow’s a cutie, but ultimately I can’t get with an actress whose high watermarrk, thespian-wise, was “Shallow Hal.”
As for the dudes, both are amazing actors (albeit Bale is the more versatile one), and pretty fearless in their choice of roles. Downey gets a slight edge for having paid his dues. The DTs don’t come cheaply.

the gals were kind of hard for me, but i am going to choose maggie for two reasons: she has had edgier roles, and is not married to a member of coldplay.
the guys are also kind of hard…..altho you make it easy for me to scoff at that picture of bale. he looks sunburned and stupid, honestly. he’s not a sex cat, he’s too cool for that. seriously, bale, don’t let them do that to you. downey is a dork, but he does seem to be trying harder than bale right now. like i know, but, whatever.

Gwyneth’s pouty smile will always push my buttons, despite Maggie’s charm.
I like Bale, but he seems like a difficult person to be around. Takes himself way too seriously. Downey has stared into the abyss and realized you can’t do that.
