Okay, I admit it

I was (and remain) skeptical about Brett Ratner taking over the X-Men franchise (not that I've hated anything he's done, but he's no Bryan Singer, even if they both have hit shows on Fox).

But the first trailer? It's a fucking beauty.

I'm right there with you on all counts. Well, except for the paying attention to tv shows thing. :) :) I'm such a tv slacker...

[lokilokust.livejournal.com]

it does look like it could be good.

Stupid firewall at works blocks me from watching the trailer. I remain skeptical, yet hopeful.

[yendi]

Feh. Firewalls are supposed to increase productivity. How productive can you be if you're sitting there all day, wondering what the trailer's like?

[yendi]

I figure that Ratner should do a fine job on the action sequences, and if he's been handed a decent script, the rest should flow well enough.

[yendi]

But these are Prison Break and House, two of the biggest! :-)

This is what I'm saying to you!

[popfiend.livejournal.com]

Believe me when I say it has trailery goodness and a chewy center.

[onceupon.livejournal.com]

How mean you are! Maybe I can take the laptop w me at lunch, head over to the Village Inn.... They have free wireless there....

Given everything you've seen on my LJ and in your comments, can you actually use the adjective "mean" to describe moi?

Tasteless, talentless, hack. Yes.

Merciless teaser. Yes.

Silly. Yes.

Mean. No.

*pout*

And if you believe I'm serious.... Someone hasn't been paying attention!

*grin*

Though I would NEVER consider you a tasteless, talentless hack. So there.

[popfiend.livejournal.com]

I know you weren't serious and I'm sorry I was having a self-depricating moment there. I have issues.

[onceupon.livejournal.com]

*grin*

We ALL have issues.

Really, that oughta be a requirement for having a livejournal, I think.

*hug*

Looks gooooood so far. We'll have to see how that there script shapes up, yepper.

And Angel? Interesting. Knew about Beast, but didn't know the winged dude would be in there.

Quicktime hates me .... i cant view it T___T archangel is in it??? crap T__T

[phantom_wolfboy]

Yeah, but really: how hard is it to get a hit show on Fox?

[yendi]

Well, Ron Howard's been failing for years at it, in spite of having the best show on the network.

(Oh, and happy belated birthday!)

[phantom_wolfboy]

Belated thank-yous!

I don't watch Fox any more at all, so I really don't know what they produce that's good.
