Oh man, I almost forgot. Yesterday I watched a documentary called "Waco: Rules of Engagement".

You GOT to see it. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon9.gif

I'm looking forward to three additional movies at the moment, besides the aforementioned ones:

The modern gothic Romeo & Juliet flick Underworld:

What looks like a remake of the old S.W.A.T. series with Colin Farell, LL Cool J, Samuel L, and Michelle Rodriguez:

And of course, the good 'ole fashioned fun with Charlie's Angels: Full Throttle (with a pinch of Demi Moore thrown in for good measure):

I heard they showed the Animatrix short 'Final Flight of the Osiris' at the beginning of Dreamcatcher. It was tempting, since I was a fan of the animation in Final Fantasy, but I figured I was going to get the Animatrix DVD anyway. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon6.gif

X2: X-Men United was really good!

*** Warning: Spoiler ***
I thought that the "bad" mutants, Magneto and Mystique, were way more interesting and skilled than the "good" guys: Xavier, Jean Gray, Storm, Cyclops, Wolverine, etc. The good guys didn't do a whole lot, except Wolverine who had lots of action. Xavier did very little except get kidnapped and controlled. Mystique did all the work. Also, Magneto has the best powers... it was neat how he escaped from his pLastic prison. Magneto and Mystique make a very powerful team.

Guys, "League of Extraordinary Gentlemen" is coming! Check out the trailer! There hasn't been much press out about this one, but it looks awesome.

X-Men 2 is racist!!!

The attack of the SWAP teams on the mutant school is a copy from Waco, Texas. The motive used to order the attack is their possession of an stealth plane (guns in Waco).

Magneto to Pyro:
"You are a god between insects, don't let anyone tell you any diferent"

Well, I'd say X-Men 2 is about racism, yes. So was the comic series. that doesn't make it racist.

What the story (in the comics and the movies) does is present the reader/viewer with a choice: if you were likely to become a target of racism, would you react like Magneto... or like Xavier ?
