Randomness

My son's team just won their way through to the county final for their age. Really happy for him. They've worked very hard and trained constantly.
 
If I had cast Rogue, I would have made my choice not based on "Who'd appeal most to teens". I'd have chosen based on "Does she act/speak like Rogue, and can she easily be made to look like Rogue. And is she the right age." Because at the point in time the movie is supposed to take place, Rogue should be a lot older. After all, Gambit's supposed to be about the same age (if not younger), and he's an adult in the Wolverine movie.
 
I'm super excited that Dancing With the Stars released the contestants and that one of them is Jennifer Grey. Dirty Dancing was the movie that made me crave to be a dancer so I can't wait to see how she does. But why Bristol Palin? Does it make you a celebrity to have a mom in politics? :confused:

You're right, Razor, that wierded me out too, since Gambit and Rogue's relationship was one of my favorite ones from the comics, but now it'd just be creepy.

I think Anna Paquin did better with the southern accent as Sookie than she did with Rogue.

So, Razor, if you were casting X-men 4, who would you cast for Rogue assuming Paquin's too busy on True Blood?

Not sure yet. I would definitely NOT cast Anna Paquin for the role though. She doesn't fit it at all. She can't act like Rogue, doesn't speak like Rogue, and doesn't even come close to looking like her. Only thing she's got going for her is her tits.

Also, X-men 4 would have Dazzler. I will not accept it without someone playing Allison Blaire, the only Mutant Superstar the world has.
 
can't think of one either.

Not so sure about Dazzler, more concerned about balance. My big gripe with the first three was that it wasn't the X-men it was Hugh Jackman as Wolverine!!!!! oh and his whacky sidekicks the x-men. but I suppose that's just the hollywood machine at work.

*laughs* Sadly, he's the most believable character in the movies.
 
thanks to Jackman's performance of him, yeah, but how much of that was Jackman and how much was Wolverine centric scripts.

Most of it was probably Jackman. Aside from his not being Canadian, I actually would have chosen him for the role, I think. But a lot of the character casting choices....Hally makes a nice Storm, except for one thing. Storm is African. Not African-American. She's actually FROM Africa. She was, in fact, considered a goddess in her village for her abilities, before she ran away and lived as a child on the streets (where she tried to pick the pocket of a certain supertelepath)
 
Yeah, not knocking Jackman's casting one bit.

Didn't mind Hally as storm, though I'd have thought she'd try for an african accent. They chose her cuz she's a star, and they thought it might need a star's power to drive the movie-makes sense to me.

I thought Marsden as Cyke was good and the woman who played Jean (name escapes me) was good too. the cast was good. the problem was that the movie was heavy on Rogue and Wolverine and too light on all the others. Or atleast that was the problem with one two and three for me.

The X-men as good as successful as they in the box office are aren't really a good movie franchise they have just too many characters to pay the proper respect too. It'd work much better as a TV show where they could devote an episode for this one then that one, not to mention build up the outside world's and Magneeto's plotting and scheming on our uncanny heroes.

Heh. There's a lot of things I'd have not done. They did a good job of casting Colossus, but he wasn't Russian, as far as I know. The CHARACTER is, though. Their portrayal of Cain Marko was all wrong, but for some reason, the way the actor played him seemed perfect to me. It just seemed right to hear how he introduced himself to Kitty.

I have this urge to do another X-men thread....
 
Hmm Im so bored right now xD I wish I could sing but my throat is killing me. So how is everyone's day?

Colossus was the biggest geek out moment for me in X2, that and siren.

That reminds me if Siren or Banshee stood behind Dazzler and used their screams how fucking big and powerful would Dazzler's lazer blasts be?

And uh oh, I have given, Razor an urge for another thread. Everyone else has my sincere apologies :D

Heh heh. Imagine a Transformers/X-men crossover. Blaster acting as Dazzler's soundsource. *laughs evilly* But no, I get such urges every so often. I'm not sure if I should revamp an old thread or write a new one though.
 
I found another picture you guys may like~

Fun fact. Dazzler shows up in an episode of Wolverine and the X-men, in her classic 70s costume. Putting on a concert on Genosha :D
 
i wish i had more time today to write. I'm in the mood but my day is full as will be the next few. Good busy, but never the less busy.
 
Random thought from MD~

I spent over 24 hours cut off from the world and I loved it...does that mean I need more time away?

Probably, but I hope not.

Random thought from IL..."We was all alone and she said 'Tone, let me tell you one thing...I need fifty dollar to make you holler. I get PAID to do the Wild Thang'"
