Reflections on the tragic thing that was X-MEN: THE LAST STAND began to take shape a walk freely into reality. The Engine has played host to an amusing thread dubbed ‘The Re-make Thread.’ This debate was born from Michael Bay’s most recent line-of-blow inspired TRANSFORMERS movie. Inside that thread a collection of smart and funny people have suggested the next movies the Hollywood PTBs should force down the world’s gaping maw.
This place is where I had my X-MEN: THE LAST STAND epiphany:
The LAST STAND, I tried to like it for what it was but there one to many good setups made by Singer and Co. that Ratner and Co. dropped completely, and very squarely, on their collective asses.
I would like a do over. A deus ex machina. I want a real Xavier to roll in and wipe that movie from the world’s collective minds and force Singer to leave Supes alone and finish out the X Trilogy right.
I’d also like this Xavier to make all politicians everywhere soil themselves when they lie, make Scarlett Johansen fall madly in lust with me for 2 weekends out of every month, and make the Current President realize all he wants to do is mow grass in some small, soggy Louisiana parish.
A man can dream.
