Yes, it is concerning.

Reads in my mind -- "I'm going to throw so much stuff in here that only hard core fans will have any idea what is going on and even then they will be completely confused, leaving me the only one who gets it. Then I can act like I'm smarter than everyone, cause I get it and they don't."

I just noticed your Sig, 42.  Very nice.  That was a great speech.

Maybe we should all lobby this new director, eh?

Well, I noticed that IMBD listed Alan Cummings, Ian McKellen, and Patrick Stewart as all being signed up for the 3rd movie. I'm not sure how accurate that is.

I guess what impresses me about Ian McKellen and Patrick Stewart is that they can say the most awkward lines and make it seem natural. Hence, they have the ability to make what would otherwise be a poor film into at least a mediocre film.

Were they to do a JLA movie, Kyle Raynor would be the best GL to use, if only because his inexperience would be a really vital balance against powerhouses like Supes, Batman, and Wonder Woman. I want you to know that ever since our previous discussion, every time anyone mentions Wonder Woman I imagine Jennifer Connelly in the outfit. I like it when people mention Wonder Woman.


I nominate Aishwarya Rai for wonderwoman since amazons are more of eurasian background.

That name is a mouthful, but I googled some pictures and she'd look great.

I can sort of see her in the role, if she lifted some serious weights.

Well obviously. Non-Connelly suggestions at this point are purely theoretical.

This probably has something to do with their experience in the Royal Shakespeare Company. They have had a lot of experience at taking unusual sentences and making them meaningful. I personally think they are both great.

Well, they are just more experienced actors.

Unfortunately, it would be kind of awkward if Judi Dentch were playing Rogue and Ian McKellen were playing Gambit. I'm sure they would give great performances, but it would just be odd.

Yes, we should give it to Kenneth No-Chin Branagh.  He's done enough Shakespeare.  Plus, I would get a kick out of hearing him do Remy's accent.

dude. That would rock. I'd pay to see that. (let's stop kidding ourselves, with the reputation of the last two, I'd pay to see the next one no matter who played Rely LeBeau). ... (ok, almost anyone. Carrot Top is right out.)

From an MSN article
http://movies.msn.com/beacon/editorial1.aspx?ptid=39c7b12e-b127-4ecc-800a-b5d15dd92dae&GT1=6542

*****************************
Vaughn, a long time "X-Men" fan, has been hard at work on the third installment and collaborated with the project's previous two screenwriters to complete a first draft in six days (which is unheard of in Hollywood).

And for all those fans who have been disappointed that Halle Berry's Storm character hasn't had much to do, that's about to change.

"I was talking to Fox and did say that the only thing about Storm that was better in "X2" than "X-Men" was that she had a better haircut," he says. "I have written her a very big role and hopefully she'll like it."
