Memorial Day weekend and the cookout that never was.

May 29, 2006 14:34

Sunday I saw X3 with mom, stepdad, sister, SchoolFriend, and sister's friends. Meanwhile, at SuburbCowgirl's house, there was a cookout going on that I was supposed to be at (I had RSVPed via evite and said that I would bring hamburger buns). I thought it was on Monday but really it was on Sunday so I was desperately confused. SuburbCowgirl has ( Read more... )

Oh, I saw it too- OF COURSE.

But more importantly, how awesome is it that Joss finally had Peter and Kitty have sex and when she orgasms she phases through the floor?

It wasn't godawful, which was what I expecting; but I still had this uneasiness of hrm. Like drinking Wal-Mart brand soda. Yeah, I know it's essentially Coke, but something is missing.

Also, the beg for death Phoenix scene happened in the comics in 1980 so I'd say El Buffy was ripping them off and then got return ripped off. Does that make any sense?

Ripping off scene: you are right I had not thought of that. Most likely because the only X-Men comic I have ever read was Astonishing X-Men. I have just seen the movies. I find it ironic, or maybe just sad, that Buffy, who ripped off X-Men, did the scene better than X3 did. Just sad sad sad.

WTF? Orgasming through the floor? Crap I gotta read Astonishing X-Men again!

Ugh. Wal-Mart Dr. Thunder. Ugh.

It happened during Dark Phoenix in 1980 when Jean is posessed with the Phoenix Force after she ate a planet. Beast tosses some magical neuroscrabler headband onto Jean; it allows her "human" side to plead with Logan to kill her. He almost does.

Also again in New X-Men 154 from 2004; but there he actually finishes the job.

Re: Kitty. It's Astonishing X-Men 14.

Gah. I didn't know to stay til after the credits. What did I miss?

MAS SPOLIERS!!!! MAS SPOILERS!!!! dragonchariot May 30 2006, 02:35:17 UTC

Remember The Dood with No Consciousness that Professor X shows the young'uns at the near beginning of the movie? And he says something to them like, "See here This Man With No Consciousness. If only we could take The Consciousness of someone deceased and put it into Dood With No Consciousness. Then we would have A Vessel!" Or similar. Well, at the very very very end of the movie, post-credits, you see Dood With No Consciousness wake up in the hospital and he says to that Dr. Chick, "Maureen..." (or whatever her name is) in Professor X's voice and everyone in the theater is all, "Oooooooo!!!!" and are very glad that they stayed until post-credits.

END SPOLIERS

Oh, and by the way, I thought that when Professor X was showing the youngun's Dood with No Consciousness he was going to tell them that really Dood With No Consciousness indeed had The Consciousness because Professor X could hear his thoughts and was going to help Dood With No Consciousness communicate. But I reckon I was wrong.

It's Moira. Sorry, she's one of my favorites.

She meets Charles when he has legs at Campbridge and they fall in love but then she runs off back to Scotland and marries Joe MacTaggert who regularly beat the shit out of her. She leaves him, pregnant, and become a world-renowned geneticist. The baby, Kevin, grows up to be evil and can warp reality. Colossus kills him, but only after Kevin has killed Joe. Moira can finally be with her love Banshee, who, last I heard was hit by an airplane. Yeah, don't know about that one.

No worries, I figured you would correct me if I got things wrong (heh heh). I just knew that it was a name that was Irish-y.

Colossus is my new babydaddy. I heart him bad. Who is Banshee?

ourmutualfiend May 30 2006, 10:51:22 UTC

Banshee was stereotype Irish, brought on the same time as Wolverine (Canadian), Storm (Kenyan), Colossus (Russian) and Nightcrawler (German)- the "international house of pancakes" crew. His daughter is Theresa/Siryn; in the second movie she's the little red-headed girl who screams. That's Banshee's power too. He and Moia were tight for many, many many years. I always liked Banshee.

dragonchariot May 30 2006, 19:08:56 UTC

Awwww...just like Clinton's Rainbow Coalition (or whatever it was that he called it. Or maybe Clinton's Rainbow Coalition was in fact an homage to The IHOP X-crew?).

I thought that banshees were supposed to be female? Maybe I am just confused by Darby O'Gill and the Little People.

ourmutualfiend May 30 2006, 22:50:23 UTC

I think you mean Jesse Jackson ;)

Am unsure about Banshee-gender; he was called that because he was a) Irish* and b) had a sonic scream.

*Hoo boy, and they never let you forget it either. Back in those days, everytime a "foreign" X-person exclaimed, it would be in their "language"... "Mein Gott!" "Boishe-moi!" "Moira, me darlin'!" etc.
