I'm not a fan of chick-flicks, so reading this statement from the director has me worried: "“My input really has been just trying to make a more emotional film. A film with more heart and more pathos.” Hmm. Ratner is in talks to return for a spin-off film about Wolverine."--Source I think the first 2 X-Men films had a good balance of "pathos" (wow, someone else knows that word) and butt-kicking action, which has me wondering if they are just showing some of the action parts from a movie that could easily go sappy if he overboards on the emotion.

try mid-ish 80s. That's when Rogue joined. It was in Uncanny X-Men 171.
What kind of toxic man-thing is happening now? |
Ah, you're correct. I remembered the cover but got the date wrong completely.

Thanks to Darko, I was able to hear the X-Men 3 score a couple days early. (I tend to get score CDs weeks in advanced but my editor sometimes keeps the really good ones for himself, the jerk)
I didn't know what to expect from John Powell - drumloops? synth? - but it wasn't this. This is really, really wonderful. The theme for the X-Men is bigger than Ottman's and the motif for Jean/Phoenix is beautiful and unrestrained. Lots of anvils too - think Don Davis, not James Horner. By the film's finale ("Phoenix Rises"), the score reaches Lord Of The Rings perportions. I know I still have half the year left but this is probably the best action score of 2006. Jam it back in, in the dark.

I enjoyed Ottman's score, thought it was well done. But if you're right and it is better, then I have yet another reason to see this movie. While an excellent score cannot save a bad movie, it can still make it bearable and in time, it will result in me purchasing the soundtrack. Is there a way you can upload it? There's nowhere I can't reach. |
I'm curious, has FOX ever bothered to market the cartoon series on DVD? If they have, anyone know where I can get my hands on a copy? I can still remember in elementary school, coming home and turning on the X-Men cartoons so long ago. I'd love to see them again.
As for The Last Stand, I'm looking forward to it. The 7 minute trailer on Dell seemed just fine with me, but I'm more interested how they'll translate some of the various new characters into the film (As I recall, Colossus was in love with Kitty Pryde). I can only hope that it'll be a good film and I'll get my moneys worth. Most amazing jew boots |
I dont think so, never as a complete series at least. I'm pretty sure, however, that you can buy fan-made dvds of the series on e-bay.

Thats too bad. They'd probably make a reasonable amount of money puting them into production too. I'll have to check eBay when I get home later. Thanks.

Its a rip off though. Don't bother. The X-Men cartoon plays on Toon Disney last time I checked, along with The Tick, Spider-Man and even Spider-Man and His Amazing Friends. What kind of toxic man-thing is happening now? |
I hope we get do this again sometime! FELIPE NO

Also, Dave McCoy from MSN Movies wrote a blog entry earlier and it wasn't encouraging, but I still can't wait for the film...a little worried, but anticipating the release.

How ya doing, buddy? |
Is anyone really excited about this?
Even after all the few dozen of minutes of crap that's been surfing around? This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it. |
Hey! Ebert And Roper are going to review X-Men 3 today. Check your local listings.
EDIT: They gave the movie two thumbs up. Over all it was a pretty good episode - they gave a good review for the DaVinci Code but also pointed out its flaws (its better as a movie than a book, a lot of the stuff is far-fetched, the controversy around it is BS, etc) and they gave a pretty glowing review for X3 (Good performances, has some ethical questions that can be applied else where, you find yourself agreeing with Magneto's POV, etc) I am a dolphin, do you want me on your body?

That's great. 4 more days till it's released over here and needless to say, I can't wait.

I apologize if this is a little off-topic, but does anyone know who the American Indian person in some of the X-Men comics and "Spiderman & his Amazing Friends" episode?

never saw the show but i'd take a guess and say forge. He's the only native american character I can think of outside of moonstar.
FELIPE NO |
Wasn't there also a fella who was given powers by ancestral spirits who was native american as well? Can't remember his name but I 'm fairly certain he was a really minor character.

Lady, I was gonna cut you some slack, cause you're a major mythological figure but now you've just gone nuts!

I am definitely looking forward to X3. I will be very interested to see how much time is supposed to have passed between X2 and X3. It seems like things will be happening on a grand scale in X3, which to me should mean that quite a bit of time has passed.
I think Rogue is interesting, because she's not really Rogue. I think they morphed the role that Jubilee plays into Rogue's character, so that Wolverine could be a father figure to her. They really need to find a way to remove the lameness of her current state of power in the new film. I can see how they added Beast and Angel to please fans of the comic book, but I really don't see how they will add to the film in a serious, positive way. (Except that Grammar's acting should be superb.) Jam it back in, in the dark.

Lehah that isn't fair. I am so tempted to see what is in that spoiler. I can imagine what it might say though.

Well, keep in mind of something. The original end of X2 was different - so who's to say anything of changes to X3?
Magneto kills Stryker by impaling/strangling him with chains and Jean just "dies". The part with Stryker "drowning" and the Pheonix thing was a very last moment change to the film - so late that they show Magneto kill Stryker in the comic book adaptation.
