X-Men Movie

Raving Toy Maniacs http://www.toymania.com/news/messages/472.shtml has a set
of piccies of the figures for the X-Men movie. A hint as to the look of the
film - though what it's actually like ? ? ? I'm not holding out much hope -
the secrecy surrounding it reminds me of Godzilla some years back and I'm
getting a similar TURKEY ALERT ! type feeling about this. And I was until
relatively recently a huge X-Men fan....

Anyhow - not sure about the X-Men costumes - they remind me of
something.... - but the Magneto is great ....

Philip - who's going into hospital on Wednesday for a muscle biopsy. I'll
do anything to avoid going into work on my Birthday ;-)

As would I, but don't you think that's rather drastic? =$-)

There's an article in it in the magazine "Total Film", it looks
quite strange, there's a few pictures!!

Tis turning out to be a bit of a turkey from what I remember, with the
outfits etc being completely different from the others.

Quote from Joss Whedon (Buffy Bloke), who was brought in to rewrite parts
of the script :-
""I didn't think the script was any good, so I did a major overhaul of the
script. And yeah, I was the only real X-Men fan on the project that I know
of."

And then? "The director [Bryan Singer] threw it outthey went back to
another version. A teeny bit of what I had written got in and I heard that
more of it got in after the read-through. I don't know, but basically I
was treated incredibly shabbily. Not by the director -- in movies that's
his prerogative. But I was just staggered by what I thought was a terrible
decision -- I actually got a copy of the script later and found out that
they had thrown out the entire re-write I had done."

it's not looking too good is it?

cheers

Am I the only person who rather liked Godzilla? I'll admit I had
my reservations (I mean Godzilla, which represents American
nuclear weapons, in New York rather misses the point) but it
was fairly enjoyable. It even had Godzuuki in!
Hmm. I think I prefered the Marvel UK costumes. But it would
have probably been difficult to wear lycra for the entire film
without looking incredible camp!
Good luck.

I'll
Thank you.

Ooops - just missed Battlestar Galactica. Shame. Someone remind me it's
on when War of the Gods comes up.

X-Men : At least they've chosen the right actor for Professor X....

In a similar vein to earlier I believe there is also a Spider Man movie in
the works....
