Finally saw Daredevil yesterday. I liked it better than when I saw it at the cinema.. kind of got over the end fight issue I had. Want a sequel.. what's been taking them so long? Guess I'll just have to get my hands on the director's cut, it is supposed to be better, and might solve some of the things that did bug me. It needs a little more meat in the beginning, the relationship between Matt and Elektra just happens, and goes to intensity waaay to fast. Bullseye just seems to pop up here and there and then go a bit ballistic, he needed a bit more to do. I'm not a big Colin Farrell, but they could have given him a little more screentime maybe?

Despite what people say I liked Ben Affleck in the role as Daredevil. I'm not a big fan of Jennifer Garner either, but she did okay. All in all, I like the film, and am thinking I want to buy my own copy. :)

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Now for the reason I saw the movie. It was really so I could get my comic-book-movie-rating-list in order, but it's easier said than done. My old one can be foun HERE. It's been a while, and there have been a few new comic book movies since then, so here goes.

Just got a message from work if I could come in and take the 14-19 shift, no fucking way, got two ekstra hours on my shift yesterday, and when I fiunally have one day off I'm not going over there. Just so tired of work, and doesn't help that I never get more than one day off at a time. 12th of August is my last day, looking forward to it.
Got totally wiped after my go in the cart rental booth on Saturday, my back still hurts, hehe, I was so not made for hard labour, lifting heavy things and such.

Has a trip to the cinema on the 8th and saw "Fantastic 4" with [livejournal.com profile] beluga, [livejournal.com profile] isil80, [livejournal.com profile] laraneia and her hubby Ray.
I was an okay movie, not fantastic, but innocent fun. I had fun with it and it might actually end up in my collection at some point... It had some of the same structual faults as Daredevil, but I liked the characters, and it's obvious that this film is just a buildup for the next movie.
The end fight was way to short. Actually on of the same things that bugged me about Daredevil..hehe. Am wondering how it'll be in the next movie. I will go see the next movie. In short, much better than I'd expected, but not what I would be jumping up and down for.

Saw Constantine yesterday for the third time. I really do like that movie. [livejournal.com profile] isil80 hadn't seen it, so I picked her up after work and we took it easy at my place. She knew I had a shitty day at work so she made me a CD, lots of great music on it. Thank you honey!
We took it easy saw the movie and two Buffy eps. Anyways, about the film. I do really like it, it's style and such is really cool. I like the camera angles and color use, and I think hell is really well made as well. I've gotten over the hissing devil, he is portayed rather like a lizzard, which I don't think I've seen before, but it works. :)

Okay.. have I got anything more to write about? Hmmm... *thinks*

The little guided tour of Portobello market went well yesterday. No problems. Was nice meeting her again actually, getting some news from the former home.

Went to the thearte again yesterday to see A Life in the Thearte. I enjoyed myself more this time, had much better seats, and didn't pay through the nose for it either. :) This time we stayed around after the show to get a glimpse of the stars, maybe even get an autograph. Both Sol and I scored an autograph from Joshua Jackson, here's a low quality pic: autograph )


Sadly my camera decided to die on me, don't know if the pictures I have taken can be saved, but will hand them in and let the pros. take a looks. Sol took a few pictures so I can copy pics from her. Patrick Stewart didn't come out the same way as Joshua, but maybe I'll catch him another time.

Next X-Man on the list is Alan Cumming at the Collectormania in April/May, will hopefully be able to get his autograph. :) Still not sure about Sean Astin, as I've already got a signed copy of his book, and those autographs ain't exactly cheap.

 

Saw Constantine today. I liked it, I must say. It's not the deepest movie I've seen, but it now ranks as a steady number 2 to the X-Men films on my comic-book-movie-list, and might be the first other comic-book-movie I actually buy on DVD. I liked the visuals, and it was a role that fit Keanu Reeves with his limited facial expressions. It's been called a mix between The Matrix and The Exorcist, which is kind of weird as I'm not a huge fan of either of them. I'm not really able to write a full-blown review of it right now, but what I will say is that I liked it.

Also got a kick out of the Sin City teaser trailer being shown before the film. The wait is just far to loooooong. *sigh*

Director Bryan Singer on X2 DVD & X3
TV Guide talked to X-Men movies director Bryan Singer about the newDVD and also X-Men 3. Here's a few snippets:
TVGO: What's your favorite line in the film?
Singer: I love when Ian McKellen says to Patrick Stewart, "You should have killed me when you had the chance." Because if he had just done that, none of the problems in X-Men 1, X2 or maybe even X3 would've happened.
TVGO: So give me a little something more about X-Men 3.
Singer: I just did. You're not hearing it. "You should have killed me when you had the chance."
TVGO: Magneto comes back again?
Singer: (Coyly) I don't know about that...
TVGO: Are there certain characters you just couldn't make the movie without?
Singer: Yes. Not all the characters, but there are a few that I wouldn't want to make it without.
TVGO: Hugh Jackman, obviously?
Singer: Yeah.

X2: X-Men United DVD Xtreme Desktop Online!
A new Xtreme Desktop for the X2: X-Men United DVD is now online! The Desktop features over 40 wallpapers, each telling a story based off of it's DVD Disc chapter - you can also view full mode videos of the movies most exciting sequences (Whitehouse, Bobby Drake's house, Air Attack, Trouble at the Mansion and more) all this in a great 3D Xd framework wrapper.

Lauren Shuler Donner on Constantine & X-Men 3!
Variety has published an excellent interview with producer Lauren Shuler Donner about the X-Men franchise and more. Here's a clip about Constantine and X-Men 3... Fans also have been vocal about "Constantine," whose comicbook premise of a chain-smoking, hard-drinking con artist and occultist with real magical knowledge is about as far removed from superheroes as you can get. Aficionados' foremost concern is the recasting of the comics' very English John Constantine as an American. But Shuler Donner, who believes fans will be happy with Reeves, says the character's bad attitude and irreverence has survived intact. "It's extremely close in spirit. John Constantine is a really unique character because he walks the line between good and bad, between hell and heaven. He doesn't care if he's liked."
After "Constantine", Shuler Donner plans a short break from comics to do the drama "The Secret Life of Bees" and then is back for "X3". For the third installment, she wants to include a loquacious, blue-furred scientist called the Beast and a sequence in the "X-Men's" training center, the Danger Room.

When Might X-Men 3 be Heading for Theaters?
X3movie.net has an interesting update on when Fox might be targeting X-Men 3... While major meetings have yet to really pick up on the third X-Men film, 20th Century Fox is currently eyeing these months for 2006: May, June, December...though this is only tentative.

Jackman and Donner Talk X3!
The X2 cast and crew seem eager to return for another helping of mutant life, as they've made comments on the future X3. Today, X1/X2 Producer, Lauren Shuler Donner and Wolverine himself, Hugh Jackman, give X3 mentions:
Chicago Sun-Times interviewed Donner about her upcoming flick she's producing, CONSTANTINE, and she gave her opinions on the possible X3, saying "Oh, there will definitely be X3. We're looking for a great story. We're lucky with this series because there is 40 years of great stories in comics. I hope Halle comes back. We just have to give her something great to do." As for a release date, she says, "That same nice May date in 2005 sounds good to me."
Superhero Hype's scooper, gave this quote from Hugh Jackman, when he appeared on GMTV this morning:
"Well, it'll be a few years off, but I am ties to the character of Wolverine and really do want to know how his story progresses. I owe a lot to Wolverine, and I love working with Bryan Singer and Patrick Stewart and Ian McKellan and the guys, so I'd be silly to throw it all away, so yes...when they're ready, I'm there."

X-Men 3 First, Then a Wolverine Spin-Off!
The Sydney Morning Herald talked to Lauren Shuler Donner about the X-Men franchise and she has some very good news for the fans.
Hugh Jackman could soon have his own superhero movie franchise. A plan is being developed in Hollywood to spin off Jackman's popular X-Men character, Wolverine, into a separate film. X-Men producer Lauren Shuler Donner said she was developing X-Men 3 and planned to follow it up with the Wolverine movie, with Jackman starring in both.
"The ideal thing will be to do Wolverine after X-Men 3 and that's what we plan to do," Shuler Donner said. "We'll probably develop Wolverine at the same time, but we'll do X3 then we'll do Wolverine."
And all the fans gather to do a collective cheer of YES!

Singer & Arad on X3, Wolverine Spin-Off & More!
About.com caught up with X-Men series director Bryan Singer and Marvel Studios' Avi Arad and asked about X-Men 3, the Wolverine spin-off, The Punisher, Blade: Trinity, Spider-Man 2 and Fantastic Four. Here's a snippit from the article...
Arad said, "Well, if she told you we are prepping, we must be prepping." A flabbergasted Singer said, "Uh, great! Awesome. I don't think I can talk about it, but I'd like to make X3 very much, so we'll see if we can work it out."
Stories reported that not only is Shuler-Donner planning X3, but a separate Wolverine film. Singer's response to that was, "I don't know. I think an X-men film is simultaneously a Wolverine film, so in my opinion that's something that might happen afterwards, but ultimately I can't even talk about it." Arad added, "I think that both concepts are valid and both will be made."
