Mixed Feelings

[moonlettuce]

I'm seeing elation on my flist about the guy whose been drafted in to write the script to the sequel to X-Men: First Class being Simon Kinberg, who wrote Sherlock Holmes.

The problem? Well, he also wrote X3: Last Stand which, as anyone with a grain of taste will tell you, is a steaming pile of crap that needs to die in the fiery pits of hell.

So, yeah, his history with the X-Men is not a good one here. I am, however, totally willing (and would be delighted) to be proven wrong.

Oh. Oh wow. I did not know that.

So, loved Sherlock Holmes; would like to see more of that, yes.

And, I'm sorry, what is this third X-Men movie of which you speak? I believe that if you count them again, you will find that THERE ARE ONLY TWO X-MEN MOVIES!!! *scrubs brain clean of contamination*

For some reason that I CANNOT AND WILL NOT REMEMBER, I am somewhat concerned for the female characters.

Well, I am now greeting this news with a resounding "um."

I'm somewhat concerned for all the characters...

I think the elation is for cherik to grace the screens again. The realisation of the horror of this nimrod's work hasn't really hit yet.

It was a total "Yay... oh wait, fuck..." moment ::grin::
