X3 - Cause I must hate myself or something.

[logansrogue]

Now I'm watching X3. Can't sleep. Am a masochist, clearly.



- The beginning of this movie wasn't so bad. The problem with the rest of it was it continued to be about Jean, and it didn't have Cyclops in it too.
- Oh God. The Un-Old CGI makes their heads look like they're made of plastic. Ew.
- "You're here cause I need you." Awww. True love. *sniffles*
- In the last movie, they said it took all of Jean's concentration just to lift a pencil at one point. Now she's lifting everything in sight at age eleven? CONTINUITYYY! ETA: SO later, it seems that Xavier had to lock all her evil half away. Fuck you, Xavier.
- Hello, Stan.
- Aww, poor Warren.
- I liked the idea of Bobby and Kitty getting sweet on each other. That was a *good* idea.
- I love the Danger Room.
- Angry Rogue. We needed more of this, damn it.
- Logan's hair is so bad in this movie. SO BAD.
- EEH-HEE. Hank's awesome.
- Wait - wasn't Mr. President in a Superman movie?
- I like Ellen Page as Kitty. I just wish Rogue's role hadn't diminished because of it.
- HEeeey JUBES!
- Storm's angry cause her hair so ugly.
- Hank and Storm are *adorable*
- You know, Kelsey Grammer is a terrible conservative ass-wipe, but it was fucking awesome casting to have him as Beast, I gotta say.
- Need I reiterate how awesome Mystique is?
- And this scene at the lake is what I call, "The shittiest write-out in HISTORY."
- Oh man, this is so stupid. The whole movie has fallen apart and it's like, what - half an hour in? So depressing. *sigh*
- Seriously. Logan's hair looks FUCKING RIDICULOUS.
- Aww. Warren grew up into Draco Malfoy!
- Warren's chest is fucking tasty.
- WINGS.
- Wait, he looks like the illegitimate child of Jack Plotnik and Roger Daltrey.
- As the movies go on, Rebecca Romjin puts on more weight. I love it. She's just gorgeous.
- Poor Mystique. So fucking unfair. Awesome Woman Number One down in the count of Awesome Women Marvel Didn't Want In Their Movies.
- Oh man, this dialogue is so shit. *groans*
- Man, they screwed Jean up so bad. The big men just HAVE to control her. I swear, Jean is always getting fucked over by Marvel and it makes me sick.
- Wait, why is Jean wearing ballet slippers?
- This movie is in tatters. God, the plot points are flapping in the God-damned wind.
- This is so stupid. How did she get those fucking clothes? GOD DAMN IT.
- I can't tell you how BORED I am with Jean's problems. Seriously. We have a Mutant Cure, a list of mutant cameos a mile long, and what - what? What's our focus? JEAN. And it's been the SAME GOD DAMNED DIALOGUE CIRCLE FOR THE PAST HALF HOUR. "Jean, you're too powerful, you can't control it! LET THE BIG MAN CONTROL IT!" "You can't control me!" *evil smile* *snaps to Old!Jean* "SCOTT! LOGAN! WHAT DID I DO? KILL ME! I'M A GOOD WOMAN!" *click* "RAH BAD JEAN YOU CAN'T CONTROL ME!" ET AL AD NAUSEUM AMEN.
- YOUR MENTOR A-SPLODE!
- Seriously. That was the DUMBEST MENTOR DEATH EVER. And I've seem some fucking stupid Mentor deaths in my time. WHAT THE FUCK?!
- Oh, poor Magneto. Man, what a way to lose an ex.
- Only Halle and Hugh could save that scene. Finding the empty wheelchair is a genuinely heartbreaking moment.
- Fishnets and pointy boots? Rogue, you goth, you!
- Bobby, you're a fucking slimeball.
- Poor Rogue. She wants a connection with Logan, but he's an asshole. ALL THE MEN IN THIS MOVIE ARE ASSHOLES! WHAT THE HELLS?!
- GOOOD. THIS MOVIE IS SO DUMB!
- Storm is the only character in this movie that isn't fucking STUPID.
- So, now that the school is in tatters, everything is on the brink, Prince Dipshit of McClawersons is going AFTER THE SCARY POWERFUL MUTANT THAT MADE EVERYTHING BAD. WAY TO GO, LOGAN, YOU'RE A FUCKWIT!
- Because Logan loves her. Uhm... HE'S BARELY SPOKEN TO HER. There was the first movie, yeah? Then he went to Alkali lake. Then the SECOND movie, and there was about twenty minutes of dialogue between them AT MOST, then she DIED. He's spent most of his time PINING for her, but he knows next to NOTHING ABOUT HER AS A PERSON. I HATE THIS MOVIE. I HATE IT LIKE FIRE!
- Yeah, you tell him, Storm. God damn it.
- Wow. Johnny and Bobby never fail to be homoerotic.
- Poor Rogue. WHAT DID THEY DO TO YOU? AAAARGH!!!
- So, while this SUPER INTERESTING, ENGAGING AND AWESOME, RELEVANT ALLEGORICAL WAR between HUMANS and MUTANTS breaks out, the story is going back to... Logan faffing about after Jean. FFS!!!
- Nice dress, Jean. Did you buy it *just* for the occassion of ending humanity? That's sweet.
- You don't know how much I don't care about Jean right now. The stupid fucking risks the X-Men have taken for her are unforgiveable and COMPLETELY FUCKING POINTLESS.
- Those soliders are hopelessly outnumbered. Even if they take out the first few mutants they come across, their magazines of the cure only have four shots. So that's four shots, half of which will be a miss anyway. The time it takes to reload, the mutants with the good powers can take out a fucker easy. And these are good mutants here, not pissy ones. Magneto would have picked out the best. So really, even though they're surrounding the mutants, there's less of the humans than there are mutants, the mutants have powers that make them even MORE of a threat to the humans, despite their advantage of the cure. So really, THEY'RE FUCKED. Even the GOVERNMENT ARE STUPID IN THIS.
- There you go. My point explained exactly. WHAT DO THEY EXPECT?!
- Fucking hell. Rogue should be there in that group, wearing a suit, flying and KICKING BEHIND. GOD DAMN IT.
- Close your mouth, Kitty.
- Stand together. X-Men. Gutted of any unity or team spirit. A shadow of what the X-Men are supposed to be. Holy fucking SHIT.
- Oh, shut up Storm.
- Fucking hell, this dialogue is shit. The motivation is worse. AAAARGH.
- Seriously, this movie feels like it has half the cast missing.
- I'm spending more time typing, cause I HATE WATCHING THIS MOVIE SO MUCH.
- It's amazing how much I don't care about Bobby.
- Oh, I forgot about the bridge. The fucking bridge. THIS IS THE DUMBEST OF ALL THINGS.
- AHA. IN A MOVIE ABOUT OVERCOMING OUR DIFFERENCES AND OVERTURNING STEREOTYPES, LET'S LAUGH AT THE ASIAN MAN WITH THE CAMERA!
- Wait... Magneto could have gotten his mutant buddies to all sit in cars. And then he could have LEVITATED the cars over to Alcatraz. And it wouldn't have been such a strain and it wouldn't have destroyed a perfectly servicable bridge that the mutants will no doubt need to use when they take over the world. GOD DAMN IT. STUPID SHIT AGAIN.
- Hey, Magneto! You know what part of the bridge you left behind? THE REALLY IMPORTANT BIT. THE BIT THAT KEEPS IT UP IN THE AIR. YEAH, I'M TALKING ABOUT THE SUPPORTING PILONS, DIPSHIT.
- President: My... GOD! Me: AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAARGH!!!
- This scene should have been a slap-down fight with all the X-Men (and I mean ALL of them, Cyclops, Jean, Storm, Wolverine, Rogue, Gambit, and Bobby and Kitty I suppose) against Sentinels or Magneto's army or something and NOT THIS FUCKING WASTE OF CELLULOID.
- "Humans and their guns." Yeah, poaching the good lines from the other BETTER movies will not make this one suck any less, fuckface.
- I have a horrible headache. It's less painful than this movie.
- Beast: Oh my stars and garters. -- Only Kelsey Grammer can make that line work.
- You can see that the actor doing the President thing is phoning in it by now. "Then God help us. Or something. I dunno. Is it lunch yet? I want a sandwich."
- Wow. Jean has been fucking useless so far. Seriously, her whole purpose in this movie is to stand around and pull a face. I HATE YOU, WRITERS.
- Oh God, this is so terrible.
- I wonder what Rogue is doing right now. She's probably all cured by now. I wonder if she's at a stripper club, stuffing ten dollar bills down waiter boys g-strings with her teeth, having body shot after body shot and running around in a string bikini for the hell of it? I don't know, but the thought is more fun than what is actually happening in this scene. I'll be with Rogue, fuckers.
- God, there's still twenty minutes of this shitfest to go.
- "Grow those back" The only funny line in AGES.
- *sigh* That Juggernaut, BITCH line is so not funny when delivered seriously. *sigh again*
- Wow, Storm. That was really unnecessary.
- Fucking hell, still fifteen minutes.
- Bobby and Johnny - homoerotic to the end. Jean Grey - still fucking useless.
- COMPUTER GRAPHICS!
- It's a fucking crime to stick those things into Magneto. :(
- You know what's not over, Logan? THIS MOVIE.
- In X2, Jean's Phoenix State was beautiful and triumphant. She looked like an angel in flight. In X3, the Phoenix State looks like GOLLUM'S EVIL SISTER.
- Logan: "I'm the only one who can stop her." Actually, no. There's a little kid there that's better at stopping her than you, Dumb-ass. *sigh*
- If I never hear Logan cry out "JEAAAAN!" in an X-Men movie, cartoon or whatever again, it'll be too soon.
- Is it just me or are the costumes in this installment made out of totally cheap fabric? The original ones were real leather, really nice. These are all pleather shit.
- Oh, what a load of overwrought nonsense. Love her. He doesn't KNOW HER.
- I hate this movie so much.
- Wait, the President is Pro-Mutie? After ALL THE MUTANTS DID TO THE ISLAND? When Al Quaeda flew a couple of planes into a couple of buildings, the president went on a decades long CAMPAIGN against them, and pretty much blackmarked the entire Islam population of the country, regardless of their views or actions, just because they happened to share the same religion as the fucking terrorists. THIS IS BULLSHIT.
- I hate that movie. SO MUCH. FUCK YOU, BRETT RATNER.
- By the way, how hilarious is the thought of Rogue's powers reinstating themselves in the middle of coitus with Bobby? BWAHAHAHAHAHAHA!
- Bobby would still dump her ass for Kitty. You know it.



God damn I hate that fucking movie.

I agree with ALL of that. I think what pissed me off the most was that NO ONE noticed that Scott was dead. The first person who questions his absence is Wolverine, the one person who should wish him dead since he's been lusting after his girlfriend for ages. And of course, he doesn't say anything until he's actually making out with said girlfriend. Classy.

The plot holes in that movie were just so ... gaping.

[logansrogue.livejournal.com]

Scott Summers! PAH! Everyone hates him, don't you know that?! Except without him there the mansion practically falls apart and it's up to LOGAN of all people to act responsible and shit, thereby stripping him of his bad-boy charm and roguish nature, rendering his wild image ENTIRELY MOOT.

I'm not bitter. Naaah.

THIS NEEDS TO BE CRACKFIC AND YOU NEED TO WRITE IT!
Hey, you were asking for something to write anyway...

[logansrogue.livejournal.com]

LOL. I might, one day.

[dromeda.livejournal.com]

I've watched it once and just can't put myself through it again.

[logansrogue.livejournal.com]

You are wise and should feel wise.

[hippiegal22.livejournal.com]

Maybe it's me, but X3 feels like bad fanfiction.

[logansrogue.livejournal.com]

It is. Brett Ratner's terrible fan-fiction!!

[mysanal.livejournal.com]

Finally! Something about this movie that makes sense! :-)

[shantari.livejournal.com]

Because Logan loves her. Uhm... HE'S BARELY SPOKEN TO HER. There was the first movie, yeah? Then he went to Alkali lake. Then the SECOND movie, and there was about twenty minutes of dialogue between them AT MOST, then she DIED. He's spent most of his time PINING for her, but he knows next to NOTHING ABOUT HER AS A PERSON.

For some reason, this specific comment got me to get some writing done on this "never gets any work done on it" bit of original writing. Mostly because in that novel, Character A gets to know Character B, who only gets to know Character A's mask, thus that's part of why CHaracter A falls in love with Character B long before Character B ever gets around to developing their own feelings, beyound a fully reasonable (in context) desire for vengence against Character A. Of all my characters, of all relationships, this is the one relationship that worries me the most in writing it, because it's so complicated and full of contradictive feelings, and tragic and beautiful and funny, and so much more, granted that I can write it good. Which is why I seldom write on it, even though I'm pretty much obsessed with the relationship. It's a lot of work to make it awsome, if at all possible, and so very easy to become all kinds of wrong. (Seriously, I err too much on this, and I'll have a canon pairing with a hatedom so large it'll make every single H/G-shipper and ARGH'er alike shut up.) So kinda nerve-wrecking at times to write on.

This kind of comment reminds me that even if I do screw it up, at least I aim a hell of a lot higher in my quest for relationship complexity and plausibility than many professional writers do. I can buy Logan liking Jean in the movies, but in love with her? Psh, be real!

[logansrogue.livejournal.com]

This is why I'm writing Amaryllis. You know, the urge to write a romance story where the characters that end up together actually have some shit in common and actually care about each other as *people*.

[veronica-rich.livejournal.com]

I was dying of laughter while reading this (or rather, trying not to, since I'm on a break at work). I think I once did something similar to this for one or both of the Pirates of the Caribbean sequels (I hated DMC SO HARD. AWE was a little better). All my brain will let me remember of X3 is how Logan looks in jeans and a tank top, and that damned Juggernaut.

[logansrogue.livejournal.com]

He looked good. Or he would have, if it weren't for the TERRIBLE HAIR. GOD DAMN. HOLLYWOOD CAN AFFORD A GOOD WIG FOR HUGH IF HE DOESN'T WANNA GROW HIS HAIR, DAMN IT!

*high five*

Oh I know this is madly and insanely late, but I do all my posting from Dreamwidth and didn't see this until now...

I LOVE YOU SO HARD :D

God how I hated this movie... I hated it SO SO MUCH, I still remember exactly how much I hated it at almost every moment. I nearly got up and walked out of the theatre during the Shittiest Mentor Death Ever scene. Literally, it was like, I realized that we were what, 20 minutes into it and Scott was already dead and now Xavier was about to die and I was like "OH FUCK THIS SHIT."

The worst part is how horribly this movie treats women... I know it's a comic book movie and you can't ask for all that much, but this movie is so ragingly misogynistic I can't believe it. And after Bryan Singer actually made the women characters be kickass in teh first two - especially Mystique - the way all the most powerful women get written out and discarded just fills me with rage. The waste of EVERYthing from the second movie... I just... FFUUUUUCK. It's like a freaking Male Rights Activist message. Women are constantly referred to as being Incredibly Powerful in this film, but they're all useless or at best, easily disposed of.

And Scott's death! OMG! MORE RAGE! I cannot get past that, I just can't. If he had to die, well, OK, but at least SOMEBODY SHOULD CARE! UGHHHHH ME GO HURT BRETT RATNER NOW. And people wonder why I liked "Superman Returns" when everyone else hated it. It's because Bryan Singer's movies at least make sense. (And his special effects don't look like they were done on an old 16-bit system. Bah.)

I meant to answer this ages ago but I've been working on paintings for an exhibition so I can't even remember to feed myself, let alone answer mails. I SUCK. Anyhoodles!

It seems we are of one mind when it comes to X3. What saddens me is they keep making more X-Men movies and they *keep on sucking*. They have absolutely no idea what it takes to make a good movie. It's like, "But there's mutants and explosions and there's a scene with Hugh Jackman naked!" We're here for the pathos too, dipshits! The eternal question of what it is to be human!!

I love Cyclops, so his death left me enraged. A lot of people in the part of fandom I was in were really amused because basically, in the last movie, Scott and Logan swapped roles.

My only problem with Superman Returns was that they didn't get Parker Posey to play Lois Lane. SHE WOULD HAVE BEEN AWESOME. And she had way more chemistry with darling Brandon Routh than the other woman did. I mean, it was all about Parker Posey for me. And I really liked Kevin Spacey as Lex Luthor.

I need to use Dreamwidth more, methinks. I can get a feed from my LJ to there, yeah? I'll look into it. So good hearin' from ya, Xebs! *squish*
