Beat me to it: Ryan Reynolds to Star in His Own X-Men Movie - X-Men, Movie News, Ryan Reynolds : People.com

Apparently the abomination that's meant to be Deadpool is a fake-out, there's talk of a Deadpool movie, more inline with the comic version (the proper version)

Check out these numpties: Jedi Church - Jedi Religion and Jedi Faith I've forgotten more about The Force than they know...

The cover of Number of the Beast is a corker too...

Coppers were in the Chinese just down from the Castlegate too.

Really? When? Though she was a good bit older than he. Crackin' boobies though...

It's an awesome film IMO, great soundtrack too (the director, Jonas Ackerland, is a music video director by trade). Rourke's monologue regarding, ahem, 'the pussy', is classic...

Intriguing...I may have to re-watch. It's a classic...

I love the character Wolverine, I've spent countless hundreds of pounds on Wolvie stuff, comics, toys, original art - you name it. I think he's tha fuckin' bomb, so I was pretty excited about the movie. At best it would be as good as X-Men 2, at worst as good as X-Men 3. I couldn't have been more disappointed if they'd put him in a fucking dress and called him Wolver-pussy, which they might as well have done. My nerd-type gripes are numerous, and detailed in the spoilers below. Overall it's a very weak plot, too little action, too many characters pointlessly shoe-horned in, and Wolverie comes across like a little fanny. They harp on about him being "an animal", but there's little evidence of this at all. They've tried to squeeze in 4 different comic interpretations of the origin story and it's just a hotch-potch mess. Details... Since when have Wolvie and Sabretooth been brothers?! Never, that's when. There were rumours in the books that Sabretooth was his dad, but that was a memory implant. The film totally glazes over the fairly complex relationship between the two by just making them brothers and dismissing tonnes of really good back story. Gambit - what accent was he meant to have exactly? Why is he in the film for all of two seconds? Why does he help a complete stranger? Since when was he ever anything to do with the Weapon X programme? Better to just keep him a master-theif like he's meant to be. Agent Zero/Maverick - Why make him a non-descript henchman? Emma Frost - why is she even in the film? Pointless, there for about 10 seconds, shows off her powers (the diamond skin powers anyway, no mention of her being one of the most powerful telepaths on the planet). What about the age discrepancy between her and Cyclops? Since when did she have a sister? When did she become a yank? Cyclops - see Emma Frost John Wraith - had my reservations about Will I AM, but he was actually alright, just really under-used. Why kill him off in such a shit way too. In the comic he dies riding the back of a cruise missile?! Deadpool - the biggest travesty of the film. Ryan Renolds plays Wade Wilson (pre-Weapon X-skull-duggery) brilliantly, yet they turn him into some crappy multi-powered goon at the end, worst still - WITH HIS MOUTH SEWN SHUT!? Isn't Deadpool "The Merc with the Mouth?" Where's the multi-personalities? The amusing craziness? Everything that makes Deadpool one of Marvel's flagship characters? Weird that Marvel would allow the film version to be so different from the comic.

You're right Kirk, no one cares...

Don't bother, it's shit.

Shields Up are playing at Drummonds in the middle of May I believe. Bink facebooked me about but I can't look at Facebook at work - I'll doublecheck when I get home and report my findings...

I thinks it's pretty hit or miss, but I do like all the cool stuff they have, 'specially the boys crossed lightsabres above his bed

Saw it at the weekend - fucking ace. The last scene, in the swimming pool, is a joy to behold. Also watched Sophia Coppola's Marie Antoinette, or at least half of it before I fell asleep. Like most of her movies, from what I saw it was beautifully shot, but nothing frakkin' happens!

Got the new issue at the weekend - plot-twist-tastic! Still brilliantly written, I still think the art lets it down though, but I've never like John Romita Jr...

Picked up a new X-Men one-shot that's worth a pop - X-Men: Sword of the Braddocks. Focusses on Psylocke and ties in nicely with Revanche/Kwannon/Psylocke's return to Uncanny X-Men. Awesome art-work and a story by manga-genius Adam Warren. Hmmmm...sexy ninjas.... X-MEN: SWORD OF THE BRADDOCKS #1 - Marvel Comics Catalog: The Official Site - Iron Man, Hulk, Spider-Man, X-Men, Wolverine and all Marvel Comics and Graphic Novels | Marvel Comics Catalog | Marvel.com New Boys and Messiah War stuff out this week too, much excitement.

The drummer, far left, used to be a man I believe. Sussanah Hoffs, always Hoffs.

I really like the Ginger Snaps movies. Visited where they were shot in Canada too...

Me (though I'm not really indie.) Adam Marnoch. He tha bomb.

OK, fair enough The Departed, Boogie Nights is OK (mainly for two reasons currently starring in Scrubs). He's still a shit actor though.

T'was an awesome night, followed by a three-day hangover. Tyla was an art counter-feiter for the Jewish Mafia apparently. The interview should be good Fudge...

Recently... The Happening -shite. M Night Shylaman has gone really downhill in the last few yaers. And I FUCKING HATE Marky-Mark. I can only think of one film he's even vaguely good in - 'I Heart Huckabees' Eden Log - French Sci-Fi film about a guy who wakes up with no memory in a bizarre bio-mechanical power station thingie. Entertaining enough but a bit weird - nice visuals. The Dark Knight - finally got round to buying the DVD, still holds up as awesome.

I dunno, as with any massive cross-over it was diluted in the hands of other writers, but Millar's 'core' series was awesome, and did make Cap cool again. I'll admit to two totally spine-quivering moments: "My name is Peter Parker and I've been Spider-Man since I was 16" and When Namor shows up and saves their asses. Awesome.

Can you PM me specifics, (issue nos ect) please?

Invisibles is pretty good - spot on about Morrison and Superman too. I got quite excited by the propect of Brian Azzarello and Jim Lee taking on the character in Supman for Tommorow, but it was SHITE! Spotted Scarlet Traces in the Library and was going to give it a go, D'israeli's ace, gotta sketch of the Joker he did for me at a signing somewhere...
