X-Men: Origins
Awesomeawesomeawesome!
Sabretooth is not what I was expecting in terms of appearance but I like the sinister glimpses so far; I just hope he pans out better than I anticipate.
From a non-Gambit-Fan-Girl perspective (impossible, right? XD) I'm kiiiinda liking him. Wahey!

My flatmate showed me the new footage after our weekly Heroes screening last night. I have been squeeing about Ryan Reynolds as Deadpool ever since it was announced and actually seeing him invoked happy munkey noises.
The Sabretooth they've cast for this film is exactly the way I picture Martin's version of Creed, only with longer hair; so I like what I've seen so far! |

Gambit. His eyes. Are normal.
Some things are acceptable levels of film failure. Some things are just sins. This is the latter.
I liked the split-second shot of little Storm, that said. |

He had normal eyes? Really?
I could have sworn they'd done something to them, even if it wasn't the traditional red and black... |

| You know me and Nick, we feed each other's OCD, it's sick. In real life, we are exactly like Adrian and Jon together. So we're taking screen caps of paused frames and bitching about how this is SO IMPORTANT and Storm's eyes can be fudged but THIS is profound and meaningful and impossible to fuck up. And we were actually considering the possibility that Remy would wear contact lenses in public, so maybe.... |

OHMYGODOHMYGODOHMYGODOHMYGODOHMYGOD!!!!
I'm surprised that nobody has posted in here since the movie has come out. Granted, Gambit's eyes were fail, but there was so much else about that movie that was complete and utter win. For example, Gambit just oozed the kind of charisma that makes womens' panties spontaneously evaporate. That, and he just had the softest cajun accent...*drools*
I don't want to spoil it for any of you who may or may not have seen it yet, but I fucking love Deadpool. Just...probably to an unhealthy degree. I mean, the guy can piss Wolverine off, do it deliberately, and is good enough to get away with it! Fucking win!
Oh, and just so y'all know, there is a scene after the end credits, but it's Wolverine being emo, which really doesn't suit him. Watch it if you want. |

I watched on Friday with a couple of lads who were profoundly dissapointed; then went again with my best friend yesterday who thought it was brilliant. I listened to rants on both sides and honestly, all I can think is "Well at least that was a bloody good recovery from X3..."
In white, just in case:
I'm bitterly dissapointed about Deadpool not getting more screen time because really, if you're going to spend the money on casting Ryan Renolds, surely you should use him for more than, oh, I don't know, 5 MINUTES!!! (Weapon XI doesn't count as he was just a mouthless drone that could just have easily been played by a charmless stuntman!) If they do a deadpool movie, live action or animated, all is forgiven though.
Love Blob. LOVE! Comedy with just a dash of melancholy (Kevin Durand had such sad eyes - brilliant choice I thought). Shame he never got a decent final moment against Creed on screen. And OMG how adorable was ickle Scott!
Just to nitpick, I thought when he was leading the other kids out it was because he knew Charles had found them and was helping, but then it turns out they hadn't even met before, so where the fuck did he get a pair of ruby quartz sunglasses?! Also, I thought it was a bit odd that the famously arayan Emma Frost has in the Movieverse become Silverfox's sister. You would have thought another native american character like Thunderbird, Mirage or Forge would have been a better choice.
And where was Baby!Storm from the early trailers?
Place your bets on the next X-verse movie. I'm hoping for a Magneto Origins story but I think the smart money's on Gambit. |

The movie was... good, I suppose, but something was missing. Not sure what. Maybe it was a lot of little things, like... honestly, are Victor and James supposed to be fucking indestructible supermen or something? They survive a firing squad? They blithely jump off a collapsing cooling tower? They stab each other in the chest again and again and again, and it doesn't even slow them down?
And John Wraith... I like the character of Kestrel, but geez was he a moron. Taking on Creed barehanded, just trying to punch him out? He deserved to have his spine ripped out, the stupid idiot. Kestrel was a guns and explosives expert, I was expecting him to whip out a custom handgun or a couple of grenades before taking on Creed in the alley. But no. Yeesh, what a tool.
I read somewhere that the mission in Nigeria was Team X's first outing... which makes it a little unsatisfying. These people had the dynamics of a good team, who seemed to know each other pretty well, but they fall apart almost out of the starting gate? I don't know. Maybe it could happen, but it feels weird.
Deadpool... hunh. Okay. Not sure about that one. I'll reserve judgement.
That's all for now... |

The sad thing? I haven't been yet. 
Why can't I just have a trust fund, instead of working? |

Okay, so, at dinner after I saw the movie, I was thinking, you know, they made this movie in DEM-verse (the alta-verse where they got action figures) after consulting with the X-Men, and Lyssa was a big champion of the whole thing, much to Logan's chagrin...although Charles reminded her, she did not like her action figure. She said, "It's a different medium. It'll be FINE. Consultation fee will be percentage of the box office take." Hugh Jackman comes to the house. Logan says, "I'm going to put him through a wall if he tries to say 'bub' one more time." Remy's more worried that Lyssa's kind of starstruck, keeps going to check and see if "Mr. Jackman *giggle* needs anything." Scott thinks they writers are just terrible note-takers and they're not grasping anything they've been told about the history of the mansion.
And later on, she watches the entire movie with Remy, Scott, and Logan, who really are pleased with their portrayals after all is said and done, and at the end realizes...she's not in it.
"You were in California," points out Logan. "According to the timeline, anyway."
"Or maybe I was keeping Charles's wheelchair company. Because, seeing as it wasn't with him, it must have been SOMEwhere."
"It's Hollywood," Remy reassures her. "Scott got laser beams, Wolverine had a growth spurt, and I got normal eyes."
"You not being there is the only thing they got right," says Scott.
Lyssa looks so depressed by that, and Remy pats her shoulder. "Now, come to think of it, the movie was missing something, and it wasn't just good CGI. Certainly could have used a woman more like you. One who would have gone to get medical treatment for her gunshot wound instead of hang out waiting for Logan. Hibou, now, if you wanna be in the movies, I can certainly arrange a starring role for you in a privately financed, ah, independent film..."
"I'd take you up on it, but I don't think graphic nudity would get me taken seriously as an actress. For what it's worth, I actually liked the move. That part where you took an adamantium elbow to the face was worth the price of admission alone." |

| Warren, meanwhile, sits back with a sigh. "Well, at least most of you get screen time in the later movies. I'm barely a cameo in that one abomination of a third movie." He smirks, looking to Scott. "Though they killed you off in that one, so maybe I didn't come out that bad." |

Oh man. Marinda would be a small nuclear explosion.
"Are you kidding me? Are you--are y--bloody hell. I could make a guy's blood boil out of his ears, I'm cute, I dropped a bloody Sentinel on its arse, I'll happily skip around in a skirt that barely covers my backside and Pietro gets the cameo? Really? Portrayed by some wet blanket with a poor dye job, whose presence leaves everyone wondering, 'why didn't his daddy come rescue him?!' Thereby dropping yet another huge hole in this movie, and I get nothin'. Sod all. What the fuck?!"
Then she will start plotting some terrorist action, somewhere very public where the cameras can be sure to get her good side and the tentative relationship she has with Pietro would crack. Again.
>>;;
Grace would have to make a deal with Victor.
"I'll stay and be your Anchor of Sanity if you swear never to let your sideburns get that out of control. You looked like a lumberjack."

LoL! I rather liked the lumberjack sideys!
Stacy would be 'awww-ing' at ickle-Scott if she weren't busy keeping it very quiet that Matthew Vaughn was actually a customer-turned-friend, hence his bright idea to put Stace in X3 before stepping down.
"Filmed me enough in his hotel room but did any of that footage make it to 20th Century Fox? No! Silly bastard couldn't even hold onto the contract!" she mutters to herself.
Kesia likes the little man who can make lightbulbs glow and keeps pestering all the senior brotherhood members because she wants to meet him.
Courier, meanwhile, is negotiating a consultant's fee for the Deadpool film and Malice is brutally murdering Bret Ratner for making Warren look glum (the collective cheer at the following Comicon will be heard from a mile away). |
