It's easy for a church to get that old, because God is an absentee landlord.

Gone for the weekend and the only thing interesting that happened was Justin posted on the front page.

And X3 was great.

X2>X1>X3.

But I enjoyed them all.

Nightcrawlers Intro, Attack on the School, the entire 3rd act -- all gold.

If not for the fact that it was our "intro" to most of the greats ... Cyke, 'Ro, Logan, "The Brotherhood", etc., I likely wouldn't rank X1 as high as I do -- considering there were parts of it that were pretty cheesy.

Looking at the run times, X3 could've easily added 20~30 minutes to try and strengthen some of the character arcs... particularly those of the younger mutants (Rogue, Angel, Piotr, Kitty) -- and I'd have taken the final battle in a different direction... but there was a BIGGER feel to the third film that still worked regardless of all that. Plus, McCoy was golden. I'd argue the "Phoenix" story didn't even need to be in here, but then you'd have to remove the deaths (because having it be someone else wouldn't have had the same impact), which would negate much of that BIG component... peh?

I kind of think a Wolvie picture should've happened between X2 and X3... perhaps they'll still place it there, with lots of flashback stuff too. Makes it hard now that X3 has already happened though, as you need to keep his character come the end of the film in tone with where he was at the beginning of X3... which, to me, was a tad too soft given where I feel a Wolvie film would take the character... more peh?


End of the day, w/that box office, expect much more X-related films to come. Until they completely drive the franchise into the ground, that is. Then they'll do "special" versions of the earlier films, a TV show and probably X0. PEH.

Honestly, I think I would have really liked to see the character of Angel expanded upon. I feel they really neglected him in the movie. I think a bit more expansion of Kitty would have done the movie a bit of good as well.. And besides, Ellen Paige is hot.

I just kicked Brett Ratner in the vagina for leaving Psylocke out.








...And no. The series DOESN'T need Gambit.

unless you are a fag.

Are you? A? Fag?

Gambit was in X2 (by name only).

Psylocke was in X3 (or someone they decided to toss the name onto).


My Psyloke is named Betsy Braddock, even if she inhabits Kwannon's body. I'm quite confident this one was not.

There were scenes shot for X2 with Gambit but they were cut. He was played by a stunt man from BC.

And he's listed on Stryker's computer in X2...

Keniucho Harada (Silver Samurai), Garrison Kane (Kane), Remy LeBeau (Gambit), Eric Lensherr (Magneto), Artie Maddicks (Artie), Jamie Madrox (Multiple Man), Xi'an Coy Mahn (Karma), Pietro Maximoff (Quicksilver), Kevin McTaggart (Proteus), Danielle Moonstar (Mirage), Ororo Munroe (Storm), Paige Guthrie (Husk), Samuel Guthrie (Cannonball)
