Narrator- re: Your whitefont about Xavier. There's a 10-second scene after the credits that answers your question.

A place to talk about movies--old and new, good and bad, high art and high cheese. It's the place to place your kittens on the award winners, gossip about upcoming fims and discuss DVD releases and extras. Spoiler policy: White font all plot-related discussion until a movie's been in wide release two weeks, and keep the major HSQ in white font until two weeks after the video/DVD release.

GS: If you had to choose between kicking evil in the head or the behind, which would you choose, and why?
Minsc: I'm not sure I understand the question. I have two feet, do I not? You do not take a small plate when the feast of evil welcomes seconds.

How sad does it make me that the primary conversation spawned by X3 is the prettiness of the actors? Very sad.
That's just a sideline. The primary conversation seems to be about how badly the writing sucked.
I was sorry to see Cyclops go in the rather pathetic half-offscreen way they handled his demise. I think Marsden is a much better actor than he's been allowed to show in the X-Men franchise. Hope whatever he's doing in the Superman movie justifies his not-quite-absence from this one.
Interesting choice for Storm, what with her being eager to have a longtime friend and companion killed rather than cured. Also for apparently becoming The Human Top.

Yeah, Matt. The Human Top thing I thought was just bug fuck silly.

So, I just finished watching Wild Parrots of Telegraph Hill. It was a very moving film. I've lived with conures before (loud, screechy birds, that can be quite annoying, and also quite lovable, sometimes within moments of each other), so the movie was maybe more personal to me. Having lived with conures, I can say that it really is quite easy to attribute motives to their behaviors that easily, and I was glad that Mark and the film's director got together as a couple in the end, otherwise the end would have been just way too sad for me to handle.

It was really the best possible ending, I think.

Now tagless for your comfort.
I've seen the trailers for Casino Royale a few times now and I really don't understand why the hard-core Bondies have their knickers in a twist over Daniel Craig. He looks smokin' hot and very Bond-like to me.

I think any change in Bonds is considered bad until the new guy has a couple of movies under his belt. People are resistant to change. I'm looking forward to Casino Royale, it was one of my favorite Bond books.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Funniest IMDB thread ever -- as well it should be, being about Snakes On A Plane.

Hey. New board.
I had a conversation about Snakes on a Plane last night. They started out confused. By the end, I think I had won them with the awesome power that is the idea of a movie that is about snakes. On a plane.
