Um.... Wow. Idiots.

Ralph Steadman.

Fuck.

Snikty-snikt!!

I LOVE THAT VIDEO!!!! I remember when it came out. God damn that brings back memories.....

I gave it a 9. For a lot of the same reasons Mark just mentioned. It had all the elements of a good Hellblazer issue. Humor, dread, mystery, etc. I really liked it.

Artists anyone besides the guy who drew dwarfs.

That silly Richard Corben.....

I was sure Clancy Brown was going to answer the phone there at the end.

I love that Kurgan....

I got paid to watch it last night at my theatre. My boss had asked me to work that night, dressed up as Wolverine (on account of my sideburns, (lack of) height, and general badass-ed-ness) so that was fun. Really tight pants, flannel, and my old leather jacket ended up looking quite good on me (although I'm not as handsome as Hugh Jackman, but really, who is?) Aaaanyway after I took the drunken mob's tickets (we had about 350 people for two 200-seat auditoriums) I took my seat in the busiest one and got paid to watch this ok movie.

The good: I really liked Vinnie Jones. Even the reference to the "I'm the Juggernaut, Bitch" scene was pretty funny.

There were several scenes of Wolverine simply fucking people up, which is a welcome change for someone like me who is used to the older comics or the cartoons where he never hits anyone with his claws.

Any scene with Jean as the Dark Phoenix. Simply amazing and terrifying.

Iceman finally getting fully iced-up.

Kitty Pride. Ok maybe I just thought she was hot. I'm weird like that. Seriously though, it was kind of sad that she was one of the last six.

Storm actually doing Storm-type stuff and kicking ass all-around.

The teaser ending (both of them, actually).

Bill Duke. He was in Predator. So seeing him again after 20 years made me happy. It had nothing to do with his role or his acting. (Now everyone ceases to read my observations and shakes their heads in dismay.)

I actually really liked Cyclops this time around. Pity he got blowed up so soon.

On that note, we go to the Bad Stuff

The Bad: A lot of the acting. Warren Worthington II. Warren Worthington III. Halle Berry was slightly better than the last few movies, maybe because she lost that wtf accent. The president.

Pyro. Damn that guy's a weiner.

There were so many sub-story lines that each one only got a few minutes (or even seconds) of screen time.

Kelsey Grammer.

Lack of content.

A lot of fundamental stuff that I'm guessing Brett Ratner just missed or downright sucks at doing.

And everything else about this movie. I'm sure I'll think of more stuff when the discussion begins, but that's it for now. Bring on Superman.

I still have my Super Nintendo. The Super Nintendo is my favourite game console ever.

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

I've had the same NES since 1988. I bought a green/dark green-screened GameBoy around 1994. And a SNES in 2002. So I'm a little behind.

Like the kids are going to be buying Pussycat Dolls dolls in the first place...

You'd be surprised. Google "Bratz" to see what I mean.

I loved the original Star Wars (I'm not having this revisionist "A New Hope, Chapter Four" bollocks because this is precisely what's wrong with the nonsense Lucas has been pulling since the late '80s in a nutshell) and this is another film that should be on the DVD as extra, but isn't, because some narcissistic twit who hasn't done anything worth a shit in twenty odd years is trying to rewrite history.

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

Just get the widescreen laserdisc rips of the O.G. trilogy that are floating around on the internet. Delicious.

Well that's good. Now make me some disporportionately muscled guys with huge guns and shit, Hasbro. Fuckers.

"you know that it ain't shit

you'll be gettin' lots of tit..."

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

"you know that I ain't braggin'

she's a real pussy wagon."

They didn't let me sing those parts. Bastards. (In the play, Kenicke sings 'Greased Lightning.')

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

This is the silliest thing I've ever seen.

Media Synergy.

See also the film "Trading Places."

Jet propulsion! On a bike!

That's fine as long as those 14 year olds do it with someone their own age. My first time I was 15. And it was with a 14 year old.

I was Kenicke in the play my freshman year. I was damn hot.

I'd always change that part at the end to:

"Wonder who she's/he's doin' now."

Any ideas about what she did?

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

Sounds kinda hot.

That first meeting with Nergal was in a short by Brian Azzarello called "The First Time." It was in the Vertigo Secret Files.

John was shacked up with Marj and Mercury. Errol's distinction? A rasta? Oh and John first met Nergal on the beach when he was very very little. Like 5 years old.

"Duane Cochrane" is a surprisingly good pun.

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

Duane Eddy and Eddie Cochrane. Awesome.
