Another quote from Vaughn when asked how he and Goldman finished their Kick-Ass script in 4 weeks:

"A good script should never take a long time to write."

JP posted this in another thread but I thought we might as well put this thread into use.

There's a film unit in Didcot train station car park. How exciting

@MightyBlackout I *think* it might be X-men!

I do not believe it! When I'm on holiday next week and they are filming X-Men at my work!?! James McAvoy and Michael Fassbender (swoon)

JP were do you find all this stuff? Have you got X-Men Twitter and Facebook alerts?

 

[TNC9852002]

Yep...The general audience deserve all of the negative criticisms that we give them..

I get bored, so I search the hell out of twitter and facebook.
Also, I took a Retroman masterclass.

X-Men: The Last Man Stand sounds like the porno version of X-Men: The Last Stand.
