Jun. 1st, 2005 09:04 amACK! Bright light, bright light!
*crawls away from window squealing, hides in the closet*
EDIT: Quick question for the VM fans ... does anybody know of a site that has the exact timeline of the day of Lilly's murder? I mean, I can research it myself, but it'd take some time, obviously.
OTHER EDIT: In case you hadn't already heard, Matthew Vaughn walked off the set of X3. At this point in the production, I'm leaning more towards worrying than flailing. But there's also rumors that Joss Whedon is coming back to take over, and ... well ... I won't complain about the whole thing as long as his solution to jumping into a series in the third movie is not to start killing everyone. If there's one thing that pisses me off about Joss, it's that so far he's shown that anything remotely resembling an ending of a series or the approaching ending of a series (and we're on our third movie here, people) makes him kill people off left and right. In Buffy, he killed off Anya, Spike and a bunch of Slayers. In Angel, he killed off Wes and Gunn was damn near close to death. (And forgive me if I'm forgetting anyone, but I've avoided both finales for this exact reason.) And okay, in Firefly, he didn't get much of a chance, but then in Serenity, he supposedly kills Wash and Book.
You know, on one hand, I get what he's getting at when he does it. The heroes can't just ride off into the sunset as one big happy family. Plus, the X-Men pretty much drop dead at the drop of a hat, like those goats that pass out when you make a loud noise. But ... but he keeps killing characters I like, goddamn it. And if I go in to see X3 and he bumps off Bobby, Logan, John, Kitty, Kurt, Magneto, Mystique and/or Scott, we're going to have words. GRRRRR.

Date: 2005-06-01 01:54 pm (UTC)I've been watching Down Periscope and I've decided that I'll go along with Kelsey Grammer as Beast if he'll just do that again. I'll buy him if he's smarter than everybody else, but he's got to have a really good sense of humor about it. Plus, I'd like to think that if Hank and Bobby were hanging out and goofing off and cracking jokes about pirates, inevitably one or both of them would make it into a pirate costume and my Hank would actually fight to wear the eyepatch. ;)
