X-Men

So, I decided to watch the first "X-Men" movie tonight so that I can be aware of any glaring continuity problems with "Wolverine" when I see it tomorrow night. During my viewing, I decided to take notes. These basically ended up boiling down to Twitter-like phrases and sentences that I will now publish here for public enjoyment:

X-Men

- Intro.

-- Why is there a CG effect of what it would be like to take a roller-coaster ride down a spinal cord?

-- MARVEL is fucking overly obsessed with these CG heavy intros that basically have little or nothing to do with the movie other than the "science" of it. e.g. the dna crap in the Spider-Man movies.

-- I know it is a comic book movie, but I feel like showing fictitious events (i.e. the holocaust) really brings down the believability of the whole film.

-- That last one was for lol's, in case that was not clear.

-- Magneto origin makes me pumped for "Magneto" movie. He and Wolverine have very similar origins, strangely enough. Both outcasts, learn to hate and mistrust people.

- Film

-- Apparently, Canada is a terrible, snowy place filled with people who are even more of assholes than Wolverine.

-- Claw-popping noise = Win.

-- Wait. How did the fire in the R.V. start? Why does Hollywood think any fender-bender automatically engulfs a vehicle in flames?

-- I like Sabertooth's clothes, but he is honestly more like a "Wendigo" in this movie. Barring the fact that he is able to say more than "WWWWWWEEEENNNDIIIGOOOOOO!"

-- Apparently, being Psychic = being FUCKING LAZY.

-- Shadowcat got recast for X2. Old Shadowcat, not nearly pedo-worthy enough.

-- Apparently, mutant powers make kids DICKS that CHEAT.

-- Pyro recast for X2. Old Pyro, not nearly douche-y enough.

-- Question: How does one ...... freeze fire?

-- Senator Kelly supporter sign: "Send mutants to the moon". Reference to Asteroid M?

-- Sincerely thinking of re-cutting the movie to : "Mystique's Tits: The Movie"

-- Scott Summers + Turtleneck + Cardigan = Mega-Douche

-- Cerebro complete redesign in X2. If it is a software update that Magneto is unfamiliar with, would that not throw the whole plot of X2 to the wind? Might be over- thinking this one...

-- Have come to the conclusion that no, no I am not over-thinking it.

-- Storm has South African accent that she loses and gains many times during this movie, only to completely lose it for X2.

-- Why go through all the trouble to sneak in a doomsday machine past guards during the middle of the night and ALSO have gone through the trouble to make said doomsday machine look like part of the Statue of Liberty? Once it has gone off....I mean, are you trying to hide it for later? For like.....another once in a life time U.N. summit?

-- Ray Park is the shit.

-- How do Mystique's faux claws cut through shit and fight Wolverine's claws?

-- Ok, so hers got cut off by Wolverine's......but now they are fighting again. Back to original question?

-- Gift Shop at the Statue of Liberty = FUCKING RUSTY DEATHTRAP.

-- Storm is god-awful at one liners.

-- "Scott, it's me." "Prove it." "You're a dick." FTW.

-- Who that works at the U.N. and is invited to a summit at the Statue of Liberty would not be familiar with the historical significance of the statue? Guy making U.N. speech sucks. Probably Uzbekistan or something.

-- Does it not remove all suspense from a rooftop fight if both people fighting would be able to easily survive the fall? They might as well be doing that joust game on American Gladiator. Or better yet, they might as well be playing a game of "Joust" for arcade. It would be just (if not more) dangerous.

-- So no one else with a T.V. noticed Senator Kelly's eyes flash yellow? Does TiVo not exist in this alternate reality? That would be all over "The Daily Show."

-- I am thinking that an all glass and plastic prison would get dusty and smudgy as BALLS.
