Crappy cam footage is up.

I vote nay on Gambit. But I did like the inclusion of what looks to be THE BLOB.

Footage is HERE and HERE.

It's two parts.

90s Marvel Comics: The Movie

Why is it called X-MEN ORIGINS: WOLVERINE? X-Men films have the worst titles (X2: X-MEN UNITED!). Why can it not simply be called WOLVERINE?

MrAngryFace · « **Reply #4 on:** July 27, 2008, 07:20:15 PM »

When I see the word 'Origin' anywhere in relation to a superhero movie I think "at least an hour of boring shit'.

BUT IT HAS THIS:

... The writer is decent, but the director is unproven. I think Fox kind of missed the boat on the X-Men craze, though. They cashed in the goodwill for quick bank on The Last Stand, and that will hurt them here.

Ryan Reynolds Deadpool = HUGE yay

Gambit = nay

I can only hope this is better than X3. Shouldn't be too hard though.

The Fake Shemp · « **Reply #14 on:** July 27, 2008, 07:29:58 PM »

I'm being rather sarcastic, Eric (I even said nay in my original post). I think Gambit is a pretty lame character. I'm more intrigued by the inclusion of The Blob and Deadpool more than anything else. Barring insane word of mouth - this looks like a total rental. A Netflix XBL rental, so I can make fun of it with TVC.

MyNameIsMethodis · « **Reply #15 on:** July 27, 2008, 07:34:00 PM »

i think deadpool would be a better tv series than movie outing

basic cable type thing

of course my favorite deadpool stuff ever was Gail Simone's Agent X.

how is that not collected yet?

He didn't have claws then!

I can't wait for the scene where a bully punches him in the face though and he heals all the sudden. The kids look at him and call him strange and this leads to his isolation.

I also predict that Sabertooth turns out to be the bully.

Yeah, Brubaker is great.

I loved A Complete Lowlife, but I really started to follow him when Sleeper debuted. I started an e-mail correspondence with him when Sleeper hit the streets and did my best to promote it with homemade .gifs on GAF and other forums. As a result, he sent me some autographed stuff for free. He told me to start reading Catwoman and Gotham Central, but I thought that stuff was for the birds, so he sent me a bunch of issues of both for free. I got hooked. He's still very cool, but I haven't spoken to him in awhile. After a couple of his projects went belly up because lack of sales, like Gotham Central, I do my best to buy his works (Criminal and Captain America as of late) and not take his hand outs.

Eric P · « **Reply #50 on:** July 27, 2008, 08:15:47 PM »

well rucka and brubaker will almost always get a look from me, unless it's something like Batman or x-men because the series are too "safe" (as in editorial won't take no whatsits from no uppity writers on their cash cow books).

Gambit is for 14 year old nerds who wish they are suave and shit with women like Gambit. Deadpool deserves his own movie if it is only to parody other super hero moveis.
