I think X3 suffered from a director who specializes in one to one relationships, horrible casting, AND a bad script. How they had screenings for X3 and nobody suggested a Colossus/Juggernaut fight is beyond me. I don't know...if anybody could pull multiple bad guys off off, I'd say

I hear you and see what you're saying. Personally, though, I tend to like one or two villians so one can focus on them more. Especially when each is so unique that you'd like lots of time to see them work. You end up getting to see them use their powers for too short a period of time, 'cause

Yeah, he's got talent, but it's the kind that can veer into irritatingly over-the-top if not handled well. He was stupid as heck in the Rundown, but it worked there. But after that, I keep having nightmare visions of that commercial for Dukes of Hazzard, where he met an Australian girl and

I agree. Sad, I wish Welling and Erica Durance (Lois) could play the leads in the Superman movie, but I understand why the studio doesn't want to mix the casts. Speaking of, have you seen the Superman Returns trailers. The FX look good , but I'm leery of the principals. Routh and Bosworth look

i do not know. Everybody is starting to get it, but i think they think they can vote these jokers out. I hope they are right, but They have been fixing elections for long time and have it down to a science. Unless there is some sort of mass rejection of this stuff, I do not know what anyone

Except for cost of living being similar to the US, I like Canada. We are discussing going there in three years after our business has reached a certain level and we are totally out of debt. Leaving corporate America caused our salary to drop significantly. Here in Mexico we live like the upper

Maybe I'm not being clear, then. Because that's what I'm saying. the everyday person doesn't just get to deal with one problem at a time. There are different things coming at us all from all sides. Life is complex. Marvel characters, at least to me, always seemed to get that. Marvel
