  1. Re:MPEG version on X-Men Trailer Released · · Score: 1

    I get an "Invalid Alignment" error when I try to play your mpeg version, blukens.

  2. Re:Halle Berry as Storm? on X-Men Trailer Released · · Score: 1

    Every woman in every comic book has enormous breasts. You may also have noticed that none of the men have visible pectoral muscles or ridiculously huge calves, either.

    Real human beings don't look like that

    I agree, though, that she could have used a voice coach to get the accent right. Then again, we've heard Berry deliver precisely one line.

  3. Thoughts on the trailer on X-Men Trailer Released · · Score: 2

    The X-Men uniforms look a lot better than the one shown on ign.com a while back.

    But I had to giggle at that shot of Cyclops in the black ball cap. Sort of an FBI/SWAT-team kinda look. The shot of him running in his "wrap-around" shades was a lot better.

    Well casted all around, I think. We didn't see Anna Paquin as Rogue at all, which is disappointing. I wanted to know if she'll have big '80s hair.

    Halle Barrie looks incredible with long white hair. And Rebecca Romijn-Stamos in body paint? Forgeddaboutit!

    No one but Patrick Stewart could play Xavier. I think that's a given

    Why are Sabretooth and Wolverine fighting atop the Statue of Liberty and not in the Canadian wilderness? Must every action movie include symbols of American patriotism?

    And why isn't Spiderman sitting on the end of one of the crown spikes, looking all pensive?

  4. Academy clues in on 'South Park' Nominated for Oscar · · Score: 1

    Props to the Academy for nominating a song that isn't sung by Celine Dion or Bryan Adams and playing on the radio all day everyday. For a few years, the "best song" category has simply been the "biggest single off the biggest-selling soundtrack" award. Trey and Marc wrote a brilliant song here, but I think "When She Loved Me" from Toy Story 2 ought to get the nod. It is a simple and beautiful song that expressed emotion much better than any dialogue could. I think that's what the "Best Song" in a movie ought to do.
