It looks good…

…but I have lost the thread of this iteration of the X-Men.  I’m not sure which movies I should see first to make sense of Dark Phoenix.  And I don’t even know how much to invest in this series now, given that it will eventually cross the event horizon that is Disney-Marvel.  I mean, most of this is going to go away when they decide to bring in the X-Men to the MCU in 2021 or so, right?

Well, obviously not.

But the basic point is correct: Marvel has an obvious way to rejuvenate the MCU, doesn’t it?

PS: There is a rumor of a possibility of a hint that Silver Surfer might have a walk-on role of some kind in Infinity War.  Not to get your hopes up, or anything.  And if that sounds like something would have leaked, well: you’d say the same of Spider-Man showing up in Civil War.

It’s almost worth finding this comic, so that I can bask in the full light of its insanity.

Almost.

But they’re going to do Deadpool 2 the same year, so it’s OK after all.

…Deadpool 2, X-Men: The New Mutants and X-Men: Dark Phoenix all ready to hit screens next year… The first to arrive in cinemas will be The New Mutants on April 13, 2018, followed a couple of months later by Deadpool 2 on June 1, 2018… Last but not least, Dark Phoenix will be warming up cinemas from November 2, 2018, which gives production plenty of time to find a director.

I intend to turn off the Internet now and watch X-Men: Days of Future Past, because I really should before the next X-Men flick comes out. And I spent a decent portion of the day trying to watch: Thor: The Dark World while still getting chores done. It’s gonna be a long slog; need to get what amusements in that I can.

So, Mental Health Evening. Go smoke a cigar or sip some bourbon or watch the wind rustle the trees, or something like that. Good for the old psychic hygiene, methinks.

Hello.

I didn’t even follow the X-Men comic book and I can’t wait. Then again, I have enjoyed the X-Men movie series a good deal. Haven’t seen the Wolverine movie yet, though. (more…)

It was good; better than the last X-Men movie, which should have been cut in half and each half expanded out into its own flick. Good actors, decent take on the 1960s, fairly straightforward plot, and most of the X-Men didn’t have insanely overpowered AND FLASHY abilities.  All in all, good movie: the biggest problem I had with X-Men: First Class was the last five minutes, which went a little (read: ‘a lot’) twisty in its attempt to get the movie back in line with the original continuity.

Anyway, light posting today.

I mean, how are they going to explain the differences between this and the previous X-Men films?

Oh, well, I’m sure that I’ll find out when I see it.
