That was what Jessica explained, but it was a lie. The husband had no
idea his wife was sleeping with Luke. The wife confronted Jessica about
that, saying her husband didn't know, which was why he and his rugby
teammates showed up to attack Luke.

Fair enough. I think I'm the odd man out, as I like both film adaptations of Solaris (though Tarkovsky's more than Soderbergh's) and the book. But I agree that Tarkovsky's movie is quite different from Lem's novel. Still, though, it's a very cerebral work, without a lot of traditional movie-style action. And I think…

Probably not. Morgan Freeman has been trying for years to get it made, and he's had absolutely no luck.

Yeah, I get that I shouldn't be holding out hopes of that big budget adaptation of Lem's His Master's Voice I've always wanted to see.

Well, I think cerebral science fiction CAN be filmed, it's just a lot more difficult to pull off. Like I said, Kubrick did so. I think there are plenty of other directors who could do it. Andrei Tarkovsky did a great job with adapting Lem's Solaris. When it's done right, cerebral science fiction film or television can…

I've said it before, but while I've always hoped for a great adaptation of Childhood's End (one of the all-time great science fiction novels), I've been thoroughly skeptical that Syfy could pull it off.

Yup, that omission stood out to me as well. Horror is really a key component in the first book.

Cutty is no Stringer Bell, but he's still a pretty great choice for Johnson.

I was wondering if I had just imagined that fantastic "coming out" scene in X2.

Fassbender is much better than McAvoy, but he still isn't Ian McKellen and he doesn't do a great job capturing the spirit that McKellen brought to his performances as Magneto. McKellen always seemed to be having so much fun with the role — there was a sly, seductive wit to his performance (I think of the scene where…

Age of Apocalypse was great as a self-contained storyline (well, mostly self-contained — obviously it had ramifications like Legion dying and a few characters leaking out to the main timeline), but it ended in a pretty definitive way and that's part of what made it so great. It didn't need a sequel, let alone a sequel…

I still love Age of Apocalypse.

"Unless Bryan Singer…you know…"

Everything has changed, because in the original continuity, Xavier didn't begin recruiting and training X-Men until later, and Wolverine wasn't with the team. He didn't get recruited until Magneto's harebrained Statue of Liberty plot was hatched. In the new continuity, Wolverine allied with the X-Men in the 70s and…

I mean, they're canon in the sense that they're a future that doesn't happen, just like the bleak future of Days of Future Past. But the first three movies are lead-ups to the DoFP future, and the whole point of THAT film is to prevent them from taking place. So, still canon.

The timeline was changed.

Yeah, I had the same issue at first. The hair really makes a big difference — he looks completely different from the past two X-Men movies.

I'm a weirdo, I think, because my favorite Psylocke was always the original model. British telepath with a cool hood-and-cloak costume rarely gets the fans of sexy Asian ninja with telepathic fist-knife, though. But the original had some great storylines, and I always appreciated her twisted role in basically forcing…

It's Havok.

The best thing about the trailer is the fact that Quicksilver is wearing a Rush t-shirt.
