XMFC sequel
Nov. 4th, 2011 03:48 pmNews here - and in other places.
The good news: Fox's moving ahead with the script for XMFC's sequel! According to the site mentioned above, the movie could be ready for 2013.
The bad news: They hired Simon Kinberg to write it - the guy who wrote X-Men: The Last Stand, the film that started the critical pummeling of the X-Men movies.
When I saw this, I pretty much went "WTF, Fox?!" After how terribly Last Stand and Wolverine were received by critics and fans alike, you finally get back on track with XMFC which is pretty much the critics' darling this year and you hire that hack to write the sequel? The only thing that gives me hope is Matthew Vaughn - if he comes back as the director, which he wants to, he can basically overrule Kinberg and re-write the script, which is what he did with XMFC. So, fingers crossed.

Alphas 108-111
Nov. 4th, 2011 08:30 pmAaaaaaaaand I'm done with Alphas! It's actually quite a good series. I don't get what people have against it. Sure, there were some dud episodes that I ffwded through but mostly? It was really good.
( Spoilers! )
This show's getting more and more like X-Men, with Rosen finally growing a backbone and becoming Professor X and Parrish as Magneto.
My favorite characters? Still Gary and Rosen, with Gary taking the first place. Characters I don't like much are Hicks and Nina, their romance and their respetive angst is pretty boring. I prefer Rachel to Nina. But overall, I like the team, the way they look out for each other - like when Hicks took down that satellite dish that was making Gary cranky with its buzzing with just a baseball. That was sweet.
I'll definitely watch S2!

Also, Simon Baker directed this episode and I thought it was very well done. He has a great eye for directing!
