X-Men 3 Online - Articles on X3

[narrows101]

This is from moviehole.net (an Australian movie website) in the "Letters" section (someone last week said they saw a cut of the movie - that's what this question is about).

Q. Did Gossip Monkey really see “X-Men 3”, or is this anonymous source a studio person just promoting the movie? - Thade

A. ‘Monkey’ indeed has had a peek at “X-Men 3”, from what I hear, and enjoyed it immensely. Ha. The dude can’t even get a walk-in pass over at FOX at the moment, let alone a job there, so definitely not a studio employee. In short, and for those that regularly ask, ‘Monkey’ is a screenwriter and producer who has worked on films for the likes of Tom Cruise and Steve Buscemi. The reason he doesn’t wish to be disclosed? He just doesn’t fancy sharing a cell with John McTiernan.

Note to Aussie "X-Men" fans!
Only a few weeks until it comes out! I can tell you, it's really good, you're going to happy with what Ratner serves up. He's tweaking it up until the 11th hour, to make sure it's as good as it can be too. He'll surprise quite a few of you. Meantime, check out the new Aussie "X-Men 3" site at xmenthelaststand.com.au.

Guys weren't we meant to be seeing something on the Empire website from May 1st?? I remember reading that in the last edition of the magazine. What's going on?

Why are so many of these "writers" ragging on Kelsey Grammer as Beast all the time? What the heck is the problem with that? Do they even know who Beast is?

I don't think so. Alot of them even refer to him as "The Beast".

 

[TNC9852002]

I'm not 100% (only because it was so long ago), but I think they were treating a 6'2" Hugh Jackman as Wolverine the same way before X-Men 1 came out..

And now X1's made Wolvie even more popular.

I think Kelsey will prove many people wrong.

I'm sorry but I had to post this latest tidbit from Harry over at AICN!

http://www.aintitcool.com/display.cgi?id=23229

Hey folks, Harry here... About 3 weeks ago we got the review of SUPERMAN RETURNS that has begun appearing on a few sites around the web. I felt it was suspicious so we didn't run it. Then Moriarty got his hands on a script, circa about February of 2005, that was a budget draft with a lot of action taken out and a lot of dodgy to terrible scenes left in.

I began contacting some of the people behind SUPERMAN RETURNS to see what they thought. First off - that alleged review? Total bull****. There are several moments mentioned in that review that never even made it to in front of the camera, but happen to be in the draft that Moriarty read... which means... that reviewer is a liar... flat out, that read an early flawed draft of SUPERMAN RETURNS then set out to maliciously slander and cause harm to SUPERMAN RETURNS....

The guy is SUCH A HYPOCRITE!!!! My blood's BOILING!!! I don't understand how he can tear X3 to shreds based on a similar scenario he mentions in this article and use a fake review to fuel his X3 bashing but he goes out of his way to try get to the bottom of this "budget draft" review of SR without doing some similar research on the validity of the X3 "script" he reviewed!!!
Don't get me wrong, I'm not bashing SR AT ALL, I'm really looking forward to it but this article highlighted how fickle and BIASED this man really is!!!!

Top 10 Summer Flicks

10. Poseidon​

9. Da Vinci Code
8. Clerks 2
7. Talladega Nights
6. Nacho Libre
5. M:i:III

4. X3
Release Date: May 26th
Current Popcorn Meter Rating: 8.6
What’s the skinny? If you had talked to me two years ago when Bryan Singer was still on-board to direct X3, this film probably wouldn’t been at the very top of this list. But replace Singer with Brett Ratner and include a group of mutants called the “Omega Muties” (UGH) and I’m suddenly cooler than a cucumber on X3. All this said, it IS an X-MEN movie and it does deal with the Dark Phoenix saga (to some degree) and that’s enough to bring out the inner-nerd in me. Besides if I keep my expectations real low, maybe I’ll be pleasantly surprised. Lord knows I really, really, REALLY want to be proven wrong. Please Ratner.

3. Snakes on a Plane (WTF?)
2. Superman Returns
1. POTC 2

Storm22- I just read that over on the superman returns forums and i completely agree with you

And as for snakes on a plane being better than X3...that has to be, THE most STUPID thing i have heard in my life

 

[Storm22]

Snakes on a Plane won't be able to maintain interst until August imo, especially after all the big Summer releases!

Thanks BB, I'd like to say I was shocked but once I saw the author's infamous name, it made sense!

 

[DarknessOfDeath]

I didn't know Snakes on a plane was an actual movie.. .

 

[Jan Irisi]

Talladega Nights??? Will Ferrel????? WILL FERREL????

 

[WorthyStevens]

Talladega Nights??? Will Ferrel????? WILL FERREL????

Hey! I like Will Ferrell!

 

[Jan Irisi]

Hey! I like Will Ferrell!

*loud raspberry*

He is probably the most unfunny "comedic" actor out there.

Have you seen him on SNL?

Granted, he's not as funny as in his previous movies, but he's at his BEST on SNL.

He was one of the most tedious parts of SNL. When he came on, I would switch the channel. Unfunny.

 

[Storm22]

Did you see him as Mugatu in Zoolander? - HILARIOUS!!

 

[_BB_]

Will Ferrel, just like ricky gervais is in no way shape or form "funny"

Well. To each their own I guess.

But I think Ferrell was a genius on that show.

Frankly, I would rather have a splenectomy than to have to sit through anything he's in.

BLASPHEMY!!! You don't like Gervais??

 

[danoyse]

-TNC

I was thinking the same thing. They just see this big hulking character and assume "Frasier" can't be playing him.

Everyone I know who either watched the cartoon or read the comics (myself included) flipped when they heard he was playing Beast. They thought he was perfect.

 

[Fifty Euros]

Snakes on a Plane is a real movie! When I saw the title the first time I thought it was a joke.

 

[_BB_]

BLASPHEMY!!! You don't like Gervais??

No, hes a pompous prick who's head is shoved so far up his arse that the doctors had to tear him a new one.

He isnt funny, its everyone else around him who's funny. He cant do stand up to save his life and after watching that episode of the simpsons he wrote i felt like getting into a bath of warm water and disemboweling myself.

That is how much i hate ricky gervais
