Xmen Origins: WolverineOk, I'm excited about this cos I'm a geek. Just seen this'll be out next year!! And I'm even more excited cos Gambit's actually in this one and I'm one of the saddos who was mad that he wasn't in the first three films... Anyway, was so excited about Gambit being in the film that I completely skipped over and missed the part where it said DOM MONAGHAN is also gonna be in the film!!! Double yayness! I'm now gonna look for trailers... |
| redwinegoblin |
I've not seen any X-men stuff! If someone mentions comic books I tend to run away 
|
| Em_J |
I was obsessed with the cartoons when I was a kid, that's why I love it! (I actually have them all on DVD  )
Trailer: http://movieblog.ugo.com/index.ph..._x_men_origins_wolverine_trailer/ |
| redwinegoblin |
I always get it mixed up with thundercats! They have claws too...
|
| Em_J |
It's only Wolverine who has claws. I was never into Thundercats that much, I just liked the theme tune!
|
| redwinegoblin |
Ah right! Never really watched either of them, although I did get very into Pokemon when I was at uni
|
| Em_J |
Yeah I loved that too! And that is bad, cos we both must've been quite old when that was going on! It was on TV yesterday, the new version, and me and bro watched it and he was ranting at the screen saying they'd changed the dude's voice!
|
| redwinegoblin |
Yeah, I was way too old to be watching cartoons But it was on SMTV, so that made it ok 
I saw it the other day too, it's gone all rubbish 
|
| Em_J |
It was brilliant on SMTV, with the pokerap and Ant and Dec doing the pokefights! |
| redwinegoblin |
I loved that! I was totally devastated when Ant and Dec left SMTV! |
| Em_J |
Yeah me too! Gutted! There's loads of clips of it on youtube, I was watching it the other day! |
| redwinegoblin |
Ooh, might have to go and have a look! |
| Em_J |
Yeah tis hilarious. Wonky donkey's on there too! I was gonna post it here when I watched it the other day but thought it'd only be me interested!
|
| redwinegoblin |
Love Wonky Donkey! It used to crack me up when Dec was yelling at all the kids on the phone
|
| Em_J |
Yeah!! He'd call them idiots and everything!
|
| redwinegoblin |
Kids TV just isn't that good any more! |
| Em_J |
I know, it sucks now! Although I quite like Sam and Mark on whatever that show is that they do. |
| redwinegoblin |
I don't think I've ever seen that... is it those two blokes from Pop Idol years ago? |
| Em_J |
Yeah. They're pretty similar to Ant and Dec without trying to be (like Dick and Dom  ) they make me laugh anyway. I can't remember what the show's called though!
|
| redwinegoblin |
I quite liked Dick and Dom
|
| Em_J |
Noooo! They try too hard! |
| redwinegoblin |
Yeah, true... but bogeys was quite funny
|
| Em_J |
Oh yeah, I'll give you that one!
TMI, that's the Sam and Mark thing. I had to look it up cos it was bugging me! |
| redwinegoblin |
TMI, oh yeah, I think I've heard of that... I've not seen kids TV for ages, well, apart from the Night Garden because my nephew loves it - now that's a mega creepy show! |
| Em_J |
Yeah that Lost thing you posted was pretty creepy!! |
| redwinegoblin |
yeah, the actual show's way creepier than that! They float, that's what freaks me out... |
| Em_J |
Nice!
|
| Em_J |
Ok I am sooooo disappointed!! I've been waiting since I was like 15 or something to see a film version of Gambit, and then I've had to wait for three xmen films til he's finally in one and he was in it for about 15 mins!! He didn't do the accent and he didn't even say 'mon ami' which I was waiting for. (Although, dude's a total fox so that was good!) He was good when he was in it, (and I was grinning like a loon everytime!) but from all the trailers and hype and stuff I was expecting him to be in it way more than he was! Gutted. It's not like he's an obscure character either, he's like one of the main ones, he's also the main one all the fans have been ranting about as he wasn't in the last three films. So why doesn't he get a decent role?! Unless it's cos he'd overshadow Wolverine. *sigh*
Anyway, stupid fangirl rant over. It was actually a pretty decent film and if you're not a geek like me you'll probably enjoy it! Although another disappointing thing was Dom Mon. Seriously, bloke was in it for five mins!! *sulks* *goes off to find pics of Taylor Kitsch* |
| April_Rose |
That's such a pity, I knew you were really looking forward to it!
Maybe Hugh Jackman's ego was just too big to share the screen with someone younger&better looking? |
| Em_J |
I'm gutted. I don't think it was Hugh Jackman, more that Gambit's quite a big character and they don't know where to fit him in! I don't know if he'll be in any other xmen films either cos his age is sort of all screwed up now. He should be around the age of Cyclops, who was a kid in this film!
Still, like I said, if you're not a geek tis a good film. My mum loved it. |
| April_Rose |
I like Xmen anyway so I'll probably see it at some stage, will probably wait for the dvd though, just not much of a cinema person. |
| Em_J |
Yeah tis worth watching. I was reading IMDB last night and it seems that everyone who knows about the comics/cartoons didn't go much on it, but everyone else loved it.
I'm still really narked over Gambit! In the trailer though, Wolverine says "I know who you are, Gambit" which kinda makes it seem that Gambit's this mysterious character who has some sort of important role in the film, but he's pretty much shoehorned in! It could have been any character had his role. The first thing I did when I came out of the cinema was rant!
I've now dug out my cartoon dvds and am gonna watch an ep to soothe my poor little wounded geeky soul... |
| April_Rose |
Hehe! Watching old cartoons rocks.... |
| Em_J |
Yeah it does! I watched an ep and it didn't even have Gambit in it!
Edit: Just seen this trailer: Now is that misleading or what?! That's pretty much all his scenes right there!
|
| April_Rose |
Yeah that makes him seem like a main character! |
| Em_J |
I wouldn't mind if it was said that he just had a cameo role, but this is what I was expecting, him to be a main character. (You realise I'm going to rant about this for days?!)
|
| April_Rose |
Yeah, I'm starting to get a sense of that! It's a fair point though, I mean, you decided not to watch the copies that were released on the net, but to pay money and go to the cinema, and they screwed it up....
|
| Em_J |
Exactly! I demand a refund!! It was a good film but it could've been so much better! I hope they make an Origins: Gambit film, although I'm not sure how that'd work cos like I say, the ages are all wrong. It works for Wolverine cos of his not ageing thing. |
| April_Rose |
it's a bit stupid to mess with ages and timelines.... 
|
| Em_J |
Yeah. They did it in the very first film though, what with making Rogue and Iceman and Pyro teens, when really they should be adults... especially as the pairing is Rogue and Gambit, not Rogue and Iceman. This is why it makes no sense now, this new film is like a prequel, so it's Wolverine's past, before the other three xmen films. So that makes Gambit really old. |
| April_Rose |
Right, yeah that doesn't make sense...they shouldn't mess with stuff like that, there's no reason for it really. |
| Em_J |
I'm still gonna watch the film again though. And probably get it on DVD. |
| April_Rose |
You weren't angry enough to boycott it then?
|
| Em_J |
Well even though he was hardly in it, the dude's still a total fox! Can't boycott that!
|
| April_Rose |
You could just look at pictures? Or watch that trailer over and over again?
|
| Em_J |
I have watched that trailer several times!
I'm on youtube, and I'm quite glad I'm not the only saddo. Somebody made a fan vid called Gambit: Origins and has basically used all the bits of him from the Wolverine film to make a trailer for his film!
|
| April_Rose |
Sounds like a slight obsession!
|
| Em_J |
Yeah, I'm not quite that bad!
