Bluefire, please read the below excerpt from the Hype's FAQ Section:

Trolling can result in a warning or probation. Continued trolling may result in banning."

You have fallen into this category. In the past, you received warnings from other moderators. However, this is my first and last warning to you. Make another comment like the above, and I will place you on probation.

I suggest you reread that definition on Trolling.

Do you see the point? This is not a Storm/Halle Berry hate thread. 99.9% of the users here enjoy the character and/or the actress, yet your inflammatory comments are offensive to others in this community. They express their disdain--not for your opinion of the actress--but the degrading manner in which you communicate it. I've tried to be fair and tolerant with you but I'm starting to think my kindness is being mistaken for weakness.

If you can't find intelligent and respectful ways to communicate your dislike for something, then perhaps you shouldn't be communicating here at all. Keep up the trollish behavior and I will make that a reality.

[SingItWithMeNow]

i'm happy now i have impressed the great a1ant!!:)

[CeeJay]

i've just read some interesting info on storm. and even thoug halle berry is an opportunistic whore, i am so thankful i will atleast see storm do some interesting power effects and a little romance in the film.

It's shocking that anyone would go around calling another human being an "opportunistic whore" - especially when they don't even personally know someone. Wow ...

That just validates how sad our world is becoming aye.

You must be a pretty miserable, shallow, cynical and insecure person to have the nerve to pass judgement and criticise people, while hiding behind the convenience of an internet - and clearly very fake - personality.

Shucks, I didn't expect to see this kind of behaviour happening at an X-Men message board, but you know - you get surprised everyday ...

Halle Berry is Eva Longoria's muse!
Washington | March 02, 2006 3:36:51 PM IST

'Desperate Housewives' star Eva Longoria wants to let herself go and show her dirty side in a gritty, dark film drama.

The actress, was inspired by Halle Berry's Oscar-winning turn in Monster's Ball and believes challenging roles are the key to winning awards.

"(I want to do a) Monster's Ball-type thing like Halle Berry. I think you can stay sexy and still do really challenging roles," she was quoted by Contactmusic, as saying.

[weatherwitch]

Helloooooo!! :eek: Hey, save that stuff for the bedroom there, WW. ;)

Uhm that was supposed to be LS spankin' Bluefire... Y'know for trolling. :rolleyes: Pervert. :p

[Jan Irisi]

http://news.webindia123.com/news/showdetails.asp?id=265868&cat=Entertainment


Um.....not seeing it. In order to take on grittier roles, don't you have to know how to....I don't know....act? She should stick with Desperate Housewives.

[littyx]

Please, Eva Longoria is no Halle.

[Jan Irisi]

The actress, was inspired by Halle Berry's Oscar-winning turn in Monster's Ball and believes challenging roles are the key to winning awards.

Man, talk about shallow. What ever happened to acting because you love the craft? It seems from this that she is only interested in winning awards. "I must be in a gritty drama because I must win an award...."

[Electrix]

I think she is hinting. She wants to do something different when Desperate Housewives finishes. She doesnt want to be locked in one role for the rest of her life.

Loving acting doesnt get you anywhere nowadays.

[Jan Irisi]

I think she is hinting. She wants to do something different when Desperate Housewives finishes. She doesnt want to be locked in one role for the rest of her life.

Maybe if she had said "I really want to challenge myself as an actor. I'd like to take on tougher, more grittier roles." Maybe I could have respected her then.

But the mere mention of "awards"...well, that's just not cool in my book.

[Electrix]

Maybe she is getting tired because Teri Hatcher and that blonde one are winning awards and she hasnt got any..

[Jan Irisi]

Maybe she is getting tired because Teri Hatcher and that blonde one are winning awards and she hasnt got any..


*sigh*

Telling, isn't it?

Nine times out of ten these tv actors, who in the show they are in seem to be the best thing since the invention of mircowave pancakes, and then they leave the show, craving to do "meatier" parts, and they fall flat on their faces. Some are able to succeed, not many but some. Most end up as has beens wondering what went wrong.

[X-Maniac]

Well, her 'meatier' roles have so far been a make-up commercial.

She is very pretty, but very small! In one episode of the second series, she is squeezing into a dress that is a US size 'zero' and may have to go up to a 'double zero'. What on earth size is that? A girl at work reckons it's a UK size 4, which absolutely no woman would be unless they were a skeleton or had something seriously wrong with them. Here a size 8 is very slim, anyone less would be like a stick.

[Blackpanther22]

I think you can stay sexy and still do really challenging roles

Yes but she can't do it! She should just stick to playing the pretty girl. I doubt she's be more sucesfull in anything else.

[Karea07]

Please, Eva Longoria is no Halle.

:up:

[Specter313]

Uhm that was supposed to be LS spankin' Bluefire... Y'know for trolling. :rolleyes: Pervert. :p

Don't worry dearie, it's fake.

so i am not allowed to have an opinion on halle that isn't positive? i am only allowed to be a halle berry love slave in this thread and can't in any shape or form comment on halles MANY faults? Do you not realise how corrupt your reasoning is? my, and here i thought in america we had the right of "freedom of speech" but i guess that doesnt apply to opinions regarding the goddess halle berry now does? i don't know where you get the audacity to say i have not stated my dislike for halle in an intelligent way when i have posted thousands of paragraphs each with intelligent points as to why i think halle berry is a poor acctress and needed to be thankful she was given a chance to play the part of storm. NO COMMENT i have mad towards halle berry has been said without valid points to back up why i feel that way which is why i haven't been banned by the mods.Infact the more i talk to you the more it is evident that your HEAVY bias towards halle berry is clouding your moderating skills.



p.s nice job on showing what a controlled,mature and smart mod you are with your lack of ability to get a point accross without threatening someone.

oh please, the way half of you talk about halle on this thread you would think she was a life long friend of yours so i think i have a right to talk about halle berry with EQUAL emotion.Except instead of lifelong friend its more like life long enemy. the reason i called halle berry a _________ is because she has repeatedly done things to get roles for movies that completely disgust me! such as her playing the race card for that lack luster role she played in the flinstones aswell as her apparently sleeping with former hardcore french porn director of catwoman for the part of selina kyle, a role she also destroyed.

[Specter313]

p.s nice job on showing what a controlled,mature and smart mod you are with your lack of ability to get a point accross without threatening someone.

You must be the kind of person who thinks we have the right to yell "Fire!" in a crowed theater as well. Newsflash, there are limits on all the "freedoms" we have, and what you're doing is using it to cause problems, which is one of those limits.

Here's another newsflash for you, this has nothing to do with the fact that you have an opinion to begin with anyway. This has to do with HOW it's said, and that is not acceptable, nor is it intelligent as you claim. Using constant vulgar insults and profanity is not the mark of an intelligent conversationalist. That's the sign of a child.

Valid points? Stupid, baseless rumors such as the ones you list in your second post are not valid points. All you do is believe everything negative you hear about her just because you don't like her as an actress. You're just looking to dignify your insults so you come off as the victim. Maybe when you can actually look at stuff surrounding her without bias, then maybe other people can take you seriously. It's very clear that nothing you've ever said on here is not clouded with this sad hate you have for her, and you're clearly only saying this stuff to get a rise out of people who do like her. It's pathetic and sad, and the only reason you haven't been banned before is because maybe they thought you could change, but clearly you can't.

Of course you're entitled to your opinion--whatever it may be. However, it is not your dislike of Halle Berry that makes you seem like a petulant child with a mad-on for a woman you don't know, but the way in which you express your opinion (ie. the vulgar language and rants).

As for your "thousands of paragraphs with intelligent posts", look above. the vulgar language and monosyllabic tirades that seem to be your specialty do not count as 'intelligent'. They are belligerent-- so perhaps that's what you meant.

The reason you haven't been banned is because the Mods seem to have infinite patience for the uneducated. The "special" sometimes need extra leniency, and seeing as how LS is on vacation, it would appear you will have a weekend reprieve to lash about and vent. I'd suggest you take advantage of it to mellow out and rethink butting heads with a Mod. Especially a mod that can and will ram back.

It is your heavy bias that clouds you from seeing that no one is telling you not to have an opinion. Just be respectful of the way you post it.

[kookevin3]

hello??????????

[Bluefire]

You must be the kind of person who thinks we have the right to yell "Fire!" in a crowed theater as well. Newsflash, there are limits on all the "freedoms" we have, and what you're doing is using it to cause problems, which is one of those limits. .

of course there a limits on all freedoms i never said that. but right now what were talking about is freedom of speech not yelling fire in a crowded theatre trying and keep up or don't bother jumping in an arguement at all.

Here's another newsflash for you, this has nothing to do with the fact that you have an opinion to begin with anyway. This has to do with HOW it's said, and that is not acceptable, nor is it intelligent as you claim. Using constant vulgar insults and profanity is not the mark of an intelligent conversationalist. That's the sign of a child..



clearly you are not even reading my posts and simply pick and choose which WORD you deem offensive to your precious goddess halle. i do not simply hurl vulger insults and profanity at halle i make statements and back them up, your just made because you know they are true and have no defense against them.


Valid points? Stupid, baseless rumors such as the ones you list in your second post are not valid points. All you do is believe everything negative you hear about her just because you don't like her as an actress. You're just looking to dignify your insults so you come off as the victim.

It's pathetic and sad, and the only reason you haven't been banned before is because maybe they thought you could change, but clearly you can't.


NOW HERE'S A NEWSFLASH FOR YOU BOYO! 1]you don't know me, so you can't tell me all i do is believe in everything negative i hear about her.
2] i have posted numerous points regarding halle berry's...ways that do not include rumors...especially a rumor that came from quite a valuable source.
3] you don't know AT ALL why i haven't been and if the reason for me not being banned is what your suggesting then i would have atleast been temp banned b4 which i have NEVER been.
4] get next your facts straight the next time you jump into an arguement you clearly have poor understanding of.

[Bluefire]

The reason you haven't been banned is because the Mods seem to have infinite patience for the uneducated. The "special" sometimes need extra leniency, and seeing as how LS is on vacation, it would appear you will have a weekend reprieve to lash about and vent.

It is your heavy bias that clouds you from seeing that no one is telling you not to have an opinion. Just be respectful of the way you post it.



out of curiosity do you halle berry fans take pleasure out of creating utter and complete lies like this one? i have spoken to the mods on this very board and they have told me nothing of what you claim and have never once reprimanded me for any comments i have said towards halle. the only the time they tlked to me was when i admitedly made vulgar comments towards the woman playing x-stacys appearance and mentioned she should commit suicide.THATS IT, they recoginise that every seemingly rude comments i've made towards halle has been backed up with valid points despite how you halle berry worshippers wish otherwise.

[Specter313]

We clearly know enough for you to be spouting off like you are. Again, you haven't "backed up" anything. Just saying "I've heard" doesn't prove a single rumor you've put on here. Enjoy your banning when the mods get back.

[weatherwitch]

Couple of things that you should probably be aware of...First up, I don't worship Halle. I like her as an actress and that's all. I don't know her, nor do I need to to appreciate her onscreen.

Secondly, I doubt the mods "recoginise" anything you say as valid, especially considering that "recoginise" is not an English word. But I won't delve too deeply into your atrocious defilement of the english language, only as far as needed to refute your 'intellegent posts' comment. *pause* Ok, done.

Now, the third thing I would like you to be aware of is a word called Facetious. Look it up if you need to, then re-read my post.

Have a nice day.

[X-Maniac]

Bluefire, you quite plainly called Halle a 'diseased whore' in an earlier post, and now an 'opportunistic whore'.

That language is not acceptable. It's bad enough trying to read your infantile posts, which are so badly composed that you have obviously not had much of an education. You fail to express yourself clearly, you fail to earn people's respect, and what you do say is either incomprehensible or unpardonably rude.

Face the fact that Halle will be Storm in X3. There isn't a thing you can do about it. Vomiting your 'whore' insults over this thread has not earned you any points.

We would like to see you gone. Not because you dislike Halle but because you cannot conduct yourself with any manners or decency.

Get yourself educated and then come back here.

[JustABill]

Education isn't going to help someone like him.

[CeeJay]

Bluefire, I think the best thing for you to do is either lay down your stubborn and offensive ways, or leave, because there's no room for here for people who put others down (especially when you don't even know someone personally, Bluefire ... it's pretty disgusting and horrible).

[xwolverine2]

halle > a diseased whore

[Yellow Ranger]

i don't post here much, but i've been visiting these forums for years. i just wanted to say that these bluefire vs. everybody else posts are always very, very entertaining.........so please, don't ban him. if he gets banned, what's going to keep me entertained between shh! news updates?

Bluefire,

You have been given several probationary warnings on your behavior. Many of your posts have been deleted by moderators and Administators due to vulgar content. And then of course we have your rude behavior in this thread. Check your post history Bluefire. You've only got 159 of them.

You dislike Halle Berry? That's fine. But at the end of the day, the actress is still a human being. Making degrading jokes about her loss of hearing, her abusive relationships, her diabetes disease, likening her to a "whore", etc., are just over the top--and again, offensive to others in this community. And the fact is, you could say those things about ANY of these hardworking actors, and we would feel just as strongly.

Stop deflecting blame and take some responsibility. I suggest you think carefully before you post in the future.

Maybe Halle is doing something!

So does that mean she could be giving out the Best Supporting Actor oscar? Because that's typically the first award given out.

[Lil_Flip246]

LOL! Did you all see Halle's cameo in the oscars opening? she was lying in bed with John Stuart....a dream sequence of course. :p

[WorthyStevens]

Lucky Jon Stewart. Not being in bed with Clooney though, heh. Being in bed with Halle. :p

at the Oscars...

[Specter313]

Halle just had her part on the Oscars. It was in the opening skit. John Stewart woke up in his bed, with her next to him, saying he just had the craziest dream that he was asked to host the awards. She said, "And what makes you think you're actually awake now?" Some more banter between the two, involving him trying to sneak a peak at her, um, lower area, but she shut him down saying she's got full pajamas on.

[Slim_X]

Lol, that Halle cameo was funny and totally unexpected :up:

Damn. Missed the Eastern time opening of the oscars. Gonna have to catch it on western time.

[weatherwitch]

Ok, I just finished watching the trailer (like ten times) and I have got to say, WOW. Seriously. I know we've all been looking for something definitive as to whether or not Halle nailed Storm this time around and I truly believe we finally got our girl.

Between the vehemence with which she spoke of the cure and there being "nothing wrong with any of them" and her strong physical attacks and face off with Logan. Wow. Such a lame word, yet so fitting.

Is it May yet??

I am in DESPERATE NEED for STORM SCREENS from the NEW TRAILER!!!!!!!!!!!!

Halle was awesome. While only a few snippets, she had power and conviction in her voice. And the action scenes were amazing.

God...May can not come soon enough.

[chaseter]

From the looks of it Storm is going to get the most action scenes unfortunately. Good for more but give some other characters like Colossus some screen time.

Are you kidding me?

You're basing that on a trailer, it's not the whole movie. There's absolutely no indication that Halle will have the most action.

Gosh ...

[JustABill]

Halle screamed Ororo in that trailer. She oozed our beautiful Wind Rider. Bring Me May!

I loved the clip of 'Ro hugging Logan....infront of Professor X's empty wheel chair...

The above shot made my heart skip a beat. I wonder what she and Xavier are discussing on that balcony to make her emotions go awry like that.

[the a1ant]

I'm falling in love with the Storm character all over again. Wow. Halle's really pulling Storm of in this trailer. This is the first time I really, really felt that she was comic-Storm. Amazing!

And MORE flying! Yipee! :p

[xwolverine2]

thats not halle anymore ......shes STORM!

[Lightning Strykez!]

thats not halle anymore ......shes STORM!


I agree. For six years in every trailer for X-Men films (including the movies themselves) I could never shake the feeling of "That's just Halle Berry in a wig". But THIS?

http://img455.imageshack.us/img455/5861/storm20xm.jpg

AMAZING STORM SCENES!!!!!! Halle has finally become her character. I love the shot when Xavier goes "You of all people know how fast the weather can change". May needs to hurry up and get here.

Yeah, i better leave my personal thoughts for shower time.

I agree!...and what I like about it aswell is the fact that it isnt a beauty shot, it doesnt make Halle look drop dead gorgeous, but it makes her look like Storm, strong and powerfull. I read somewhere that Bryan Singer cast Halle as Storm because he wanted to bring some sex appeal to the movie. He used Storm as an object, just to stand there and look sexy, and make some tornadoes occasionally. But I think Brett Ratner really allowed Halle to get into character, and he gave her some very good material to work with, because in the end, Halle isnt just a pretty face, she is a talented and accomplised actress, and should be allowed to show off her talent. I think Halle nailed Storm this time, and I personally think that there couldn't be a btter Storm than Halle Berry.

This was a very powerful scene

http://i19.photobucket.com/albums/b193/tastas1/2fc2.jpg

I loved the trailer, Everything about Storm was great, Halle finally nails the role, and its obvious that the director this time cared for the characters(all of them) not just few he liked. I loved it, so what are your favorite Storm moments from the trailer. Mine was the one above, the one where she says that There is nothing about us that need to be cured, and also the other part where she talks about choosing a side. I loved everything, this movie is far more emotional in everyway than the last two films.

[X-Maniac]

^ And the really great thing about that line is that it connects to her lines to Logan in X1: 'Help us, fight with us' and, when he asks if she is sure she is on the right side, 'At least I've chosen a side'... giving us some character continuity right back to the first movie.

[Avalanche]

http://www.friendzy.com/images/262/0033262/176836_l.jpg
Love this scene. The sheer, raw emotion that would put them both in that position is going to be fantastic on screen.

I have to echo what everyone else has said. Finally, we get the Storm we should have had from the first movie onward. A strong, opinionated Storm. And emotional Storm. An impressively powerful Storm. This is the Storm we'll all remember out of the trilogy.

[weatherwitch]

^^ I love that scene. It's so simplistic andso very, very powerful. Damn it, is it may yet? I'm so excited I just may http://i46.photobucket.com/albums/f147/weatherwitch1/_explode__by_IIdragonII.gif

I was thinking the same thing; great observation.

It's clear from the first film that Storm always had a problem with Logan's fence-sitting attitude. There apparently won't be time in this conflict to be neutral, so she's reminding him again to choose a side. It's already been said that there will be some arguing between the two, as well as resolution of some issues in their relationship.

So this may really complete their arc--along the lines of politics.

[Storm22]

This is gonna be one emotional movie from the looks of things! Can't wait. Those shots of Storm and Xavier on the balcony of the X mansion, esp the close up of Storms face - WOW!!

That is my favourite scen in this trailer! Storm...I mena Halle was awsome! Well umm...both were awsome.

I also love the Ro/Lo dinamic in the trailer (movie). It may not be romance but it seems close to the friendship they have in the comics.

[Lightning Strykez!]

And that's all that's important at this stage: We don't need a sexual romance--we just need that friendship between the two characters strengthened. Who knows--it may expand into something more serious in future films.

I don't think that there will be graphic sex scenes between Logan and Ororo in this movie--which is what the writers hinted at. Something tells me that if there were, they would've used a snippet of those scenes for sex appeal to sell the movie. They've steered clear of that.

[Karea07]

I love Halle <3 :up:

[Hunter Rider]

I think that for fans of Storm this movie will really deliver the version of the charatcer they have been hoping for and in general a character that is more powerful and more interesting

Gotta say, that using an antagonistic developement plot is a great way to bring these two together. They don't seem to be rushing this at all, taking their time and giving them something to grow from, even if it is opposing emotional sentiment. We all know how opposites attract, but to show their indifferent attitudes before having them jump each others bones is just good story telling. Plus it keeps from cheapening the character depiction. I was always worried, from the way it was originally mentioned, that ROLO would be done crappy... glad my worries were unfounded.

[PSINGRAPHD]

Did anyone notice the scene towards the end, where Storm's rising up into the air with what appears to be a large dust cloud gathering behind her? Very cool! :D It's 'bout time too, dammit! ;)

[Anthony69]

Gosh, even I'm blown away by her portrayal in this trailer. I've maybe watched at least 50 times, which is nothing something I'm not entirely proud of but I do believe it was very well done. Storm looks absolutely amazing. Being an avid X-Men fan I try not to look too into 'bad' things in the movies, I just feel I should happy I'm getting X-Men movies at all but I kinda cringed in the first movie at Halle's portrayal of Storm. I love Halle, I think she's a great actress but I started to lean with my father in terms of thinking that it was a poor choice and she chosen simply to stand there, look pretty and throw a couple of lightning bolts.

In X2 my thought improved but I wanting for the Storm that was beyond powerful that I've seen in the comics, and this is it. She looks amazing, a true force to be reckoned with. I can't wait to show my father and see what he thinks of it, I think he'll agree that she is moreso Storm in this movie than the other two combined.

Somebody said in another thread that she could be taken the water out of the lake to search for the body of Jean ... doesn't seem too far-fetched.

She's getting rid of the fog.

Yes, and notice the tremendous tidal wave in front of her. :eek:

Now it begs the question: Does she create this flood wave from condensation in the air (which is something that Storm has done in the comics), or is she manipulating/pulling the water from an existing source like a tank?

[Primal Slayer]

Somebody said in another thread that she could be taken the water out of the lake to search for the body of Jean ... doesn't seem too far-fetched.

why would they wait that long to look for her body though?

Its probably her just moving the fog like already stated.

But im glad that Storm finally gets to kick ass in this movie, ive liked her in the first two but she was just a background charecter so seeing her take the front stage will be excitful.

[Storm22]

I think the latter. The water is clearly coming out of a big pipe infront of a hovering Storm.

[Lightning Strykez!]

The set reports said that Storm not only disperses fog, but creates it too in X3.

[Lightning Strykez!]

I think the latter. The water is clearly coming out of a big pipe infront of a hovering Storm.


But the set reports stated that she "creates a tidal wave." While busting a pipe open would certainly fall under that, I'd be more impressed if she actually created a flash flood from the water in the air...although that might be a bit farfetched for the realism of this film.

I'm not sure, I'm just going off what somebody else said. But Electrix's idea seems a tad bit more logical than the one i gave. So ignore me.

[Lightning Strykez!]

I think the latter. The water is clearly coming out of a big pipe infront of a hovering Storm.

Or what if she summoned a lightning bolt to shatter the pipe, and then used her winds to hurl the gushing water at her enemies? Because the scene of her rising shows that water flaring out specifically forward and out--and her hands are outstretched--which she only does when she's manipulating energies.

That's what I think she's doing, summoning the water through the pipe and sending it gushing towards the brotherhood. I think the whole tidal wave scenario might have been a bit exaggerated. When I heard tidal wave I immediately thought "The Day After Tomorrow", I thought she'd actually fly really high over Alcatraz and summon a huge wave form the water surrounding the island.

I just watched it a couple of more times and am thinkin' it's the latter. I believe this scene might take place at Alcatraz and she's amassing the water from what surrounds the island, bridge, etc. I'm not so sure that's a dust cloud now either, as it looks to be just more water. But it appears dirty 'cause of the brownish color and that's what must've thrown me off. God, this movie is gonna be SO AWESOME! :D

What will be truly interesting is if the sky quakes with lightning and thunder during that entire battle, considering that Storm's emotions are directly tied to it.

[Lightning Strykez!]

http://i19.photobucket.com/albums/b193/tastas1/2fc2.jpg

I also want to comment on this scene: In the comics Xavier is forever chastising Storm (in a loving, fatherly manner of course) regarding her emotions--because they are directly tied to weather patterns.

From the first trailer, we see Storm on this same balcony looking out wistfully as the clouds darken. Now we see that Xavier joins her, and he looks up and notices that her emotions are getting the best of her. Hence the line, "You know better than anyone else how fast the weather can change."

Now that looks and sounds like something lifted directly from a comic book page. :up:

[X-Maniac]

Dare I say (and here's where Bosef and The Guard pop out from nowhere) that the emotion and dialogue seen so far makes that in the previous two X-movies seem rather one-dimensional... I so wish we would have new versions of those first two movies (even some sneaky reshoots!) just to create a seamless, power-packed trilogy.

Ditch the part where Storm 'can't control it like that'. Ditch the 'same thing that happens to everything else.' Let's see emotion wrapped up with pure mutant power. I hope to God we get new director's cuts of the first two movies or I am so NOT going to want to watch them again!

I wonder will this moment in the movie lead into a Storm flashback/origin scene. Maybe Professor X says something to Storm about her emotions and triggers some memory from her youth. The zooming in on her face could be a tool used by Ratner to signal a flashback for the audience, zoom in on her face then we see her face close-up in the past and the camera slowly zooms out.

I know...plus that blonde wig. It was like they were trying to make her look uber-sexy and that's why I couldn't shake the feeling of "That's just Halle in a wig."

The X3 make-up designers are obviously focusing on making her look mature as an elder of the mansion--not a sex pot. She's still gorgeous, but it's definitely being understated.

Yup. She's still gorgeous, but that isn't main proiority this time, where as it did seem to be in the first 2 movies.

I mean come on! The tornado scene in X2 would have been so much better if she was showing a little emotion and not just staring forward blankly. :o

[Electrix]

I just watched X-Men 2's trailer. It seems a smaller story, smaller action, smaller everything compared to this.

[xwolverine2]

i applaud halle........

[WalkingDead]

Consider this...
In the final battle with the large Brotherhood. What if...

Storm creates a ton of moisture in the air and Iceman freezes it instantly...that would so rock, taking out like dozens of guys. Iceman can freeze the moisture much faster than Storm and it would be a great team tactic.

Also Iceman could freeze the water from Storm's "tidal wave"...just so awesome.

I think we will see Halle being interviewed on the DVD now! Unlike X-Men 2!

I think that's a possibility. Halle is not necessariy "fair" skinned--she definitely has the features of a Black Woman--and one would not take her for anything else if they saw her on the street. Yet, X2 in particular made her look almost albino in some scenes.

[ts16]

I agree...I've always thought she was good-looking. I mean yeah in some shots the wig was yellowed and in some shots she seemed a bit pale, but overall I've not had a problem with her looks. X3's look however is the best, period.

Am i the only one that thought halle looked good in all 3 x films? lol? i thought her looks just kept getting better and better. Although I have to admit, she's never looked more like storm untill now.


I thought she looked decent in X1. The length of hair was classic for Storm, but too much for Halle's face I think. I feel like it overwhelmed her a bit, making her look shorter, a la Cousin It. But it was passable. I would've loved to see her in X3 with that same length, but as a high ponytail.

X2 in my opinon was easily the worst look of the series. Nothing further from Storm there. She looked soft and weak.

i thaught she had it down in x1, x2 i can only think of 3 scenes: when she's talking to nightcrawler in the jet and she makes the tornados and then she freezes dark cerebro

[ts16]

We should get some storm pics and screen caps up in here from all the past movies so we can see how much she's changed :D *to lazy to go and find them*

Yeah, screw Bryan Singer for what he did to Storm.:o :down

[PWN3R]

lol

Retroman being mean?!?!?! OMG!

[Storm22]

I liked all 3 styles. It's nice to see the progression in Storm's style. I actually really liked Storm's look in X2, but that's just me. X3 is the best look though.

[lordofthenerds]

It kinda sounds like Halle picked up that crappy accent again from her line in the trailer.

[ts16]

Yeah I noticed that too, maybe they gave her a very subtle accent again to make her more comic booky ??? :confused: I hope not though, Then it would be like we have 3 totally different storms.

[Lightning Strykez!]

It kinda sounds like Halle picked up that crappy accent again from her line in the trailer.


It does? Not to me.

[LittleMissVixen]

It does? Not to me.

Ditto...I didnt hear any accent....

[Celestio]

She sounds like she did in X2 to me.

[ts16]

It does? Not to me.


When she says "the time has come to make our choice" or whatever, you can kind of hear it. Especially in the "our" I like it though, very Stormish :up: That's the only line where you can really pick up on it though.

[Retroman]

lol

Retroman being mean?!?!?! OMG!
I'm being sarcastic man.;) Yeah, sure Storm looks great, is more powerfull, and is more prominent than she was in the first 2 movies.:up: But i always get this feeling that Singer is been made in to this boo-man when it comes to her Storm. As if he had something against the character and Halle.

Halle/Storm had lots to do in the second film (stopping Dark Cerebro), definetly had a point of view in my opnion and also had great memorable scene with Nightcrawler. You have to remember that it's not all about Storm and Wolverine. It's also Rogue, Iceman, Xavier, Magneto Mystique and the others.

[xwolverine2]

in x1 her eyes looked more like zatoichis....

I thought Singer did have something against the character. I'm sure I read that he only added her because she is a well known X-Man.

People aren't saying it's all about Storm and Wolverine. It's just when characters like Wolverine, Magneto and Cyclops get near perfect in their adaptation, then why not Storm? :o

I just re-listened to it. Yeah I guess you could say so, it's very faint. It's not "in your face."

You should have told Singer that 6 years ago!

Definitely :up:

[Retroman]

Don't know if this has been pointed out but if you freeze the trailer at 1:59 you'll see Storm rising above the huge tidal wave.

[ts16]

hah, what hasn't been pointed out yet ? ;)

[Electrix]

I hope she stays up there for the whole fight!

[Retroman]

Source?

I thought Singer was starting to umph up her part in the films after Halle opened her mouth. She was more prominent that X1.

[hulkamania85]

I hope Storm actually has a good role in this film and is well written instead of just pushing Storm as the major player just because Halle's ego demands a bigger role.

BTW Cyclops was not near perfect in adaptation. Last time I read X-Men Cyclops had a pretty significant role. Then again the last time I read X-Men it was also seemingly all Wolvie all the time too.

[Celestio]

No source. :) I just remember reading it lol.

[Retroman]

You should have told Singer that 6 years ago!

*hides*
*Looks for Electrix*

What did you say?

[Lightning Strykez!]

Don't know if this has been pointed out but if you freeze the trailer at 1:59 you'll see Storm rising above the huge tidal wave.

And again at 2:10.

[Retroman]

Yeah, i just didn't want to search hundreds of pages to check.:o

[Lightning Strykez!]

Testimonies from the director, writers, producers and the actress indicate that Halle's ego is not a factor here. If anything her humility has come to the fore, since she has simply asked for better lines--not more lines.

Sounds like you and her want the same thing.

[Retroman]

And again at 2:10.
Oh yes it is.:up:
I hate playing the end of the trailer again. My young heart can't take it.

[tedw]

Retro? Unwilling to search... since when? :p

And I just wanted to add a favorite part of mine - weird or minor as it may sound - is the part where Halle screams for Logan. Just hearing the emotion in her voice is great. I was disappointed that she seemed to have no reaction in X2 at Jean's death, because I always assumed the pair to be friends.

Beyond that, she always seemed reserved, unexpressive. So seeing her expressing some emotion - at the beach finding Jean, the look on her face as her eyes change, her grief as she and Logan huddle together - is really great. The scream by itself is great to me.

I agree.

Halle excels best with dramatic roles. This is a sci-fi/action film. So to make it work for her they've got to write lines that encourage dramatic delivery. And that's really all it takes to "expand her role". It's not about more lines or more screentime--Halle made it clear she wasn't interested in that. She just wanted an environment where she could bring to the table what she does best.

I'm not going to crap on it just because it's Halle Berry but her complaining about a supporting role post Oscar win had me nervous that they were doing it just to keep her happy.

[Lightning Strykez!]

Well,

Since Halle Berry donned the role of Storm--my ultimate No. 1 favorite Marvel heroine--I've followed her statements closely. And Halle has never complained about having a supporting role.

In fact, it's quite the opposite really: she says she loves ensemble films because she can do her part and go home--without all the pressure being on her back. Are you sure you're not absorbing the rumors perpetuated by fanboys on these boards?

[Iceman]

Looks like Halle's campaigning is paying off :up:

[S7ilver]

Nothing against Singer, but Storm hasn't shown almost any emotion in the past 2 movies, nothing extreme at least. She was always troubled or a little sad like at Jean's death..

[Mr Sensitive]

I'd say she showed more acting in her - what? - seconds of this trailer than in both previous movies together.

[xwolverine2]

I'd say she showed more acting in her - what? - seconds of this trailer than in both previous movies together.
100% true....

did anyone notice the ode to her only line in x1 in this trailer...."if your with us then be with us":up: GOLD!

[Inhuman63]

Yeah I noticed that too, maybe they gave her a very subtle accent again to make her more comic booky ??? :confused: I hope not though, Then it would be like we have 3 totally different storms.

Have to listen to the trailer again but if a subtle accent is there then it would be cool. It would show her emotions getting away from her and her slipping into her native dialect. Can't wait to the premiere. Looks like Halle is finally going to own Storm.

[LMason]

The fanboy way of disseminating information is one thing I hate about the Internet. Because of noone doing research and just blabbing on and on using rumors as fact (e.g., the Tavis Smiley interview story), Halle has been unfairly portrayed. I'm glad we can finally read interview transcripts so that people can stop jumping on her case.

[Retroman]

Am i seeing things or did they delete the Storm/Logan crying scene from the HD trailer??!?!?!:eek: :confused:

I just wonder if she's saying it to Beast or Wolverine. Wolverine would be the real X1 homage obviously, but I think she's saying it to Beast. (and im sure pages ago, someone agreed with me)

[xstormfan]

r storm's eyes blue in the trailer???, they look sorta dark blue inthe scene where her eyes turn white

[Primal Slayer]

Well its hard to tell, the scene where her eyes turn white, they are already turning white when we first see them so its hard to tell if they are blue or not.

EDIT: ok no, they are still brown like the first two films, thats for sure.

[gap5ewl]

no because all we see are her pupils the outer layer is already white.

She's saying it to Wolverine. It's in the room as she's walking away as seen in the stills and such. Hugh said in an interview that Wolverine's biggest choice was in this film, whether he was simply working with the X-Men or if he wasan X-man.

[gap5ewl]

how does she make the tidal wave?????

The water must already be there
