X-Men:Days of Future Past and Timelines That Dont Work In Film
There is a rumor, which I hope is just that, that the latest Xmen film will center heavily around the early 80’s “Days of Future Past” story written by Chris Claremont. The jist of that story was in the future mutants were put into internment camps run by Sentinels (which would be cool to see on film), and Kitty Pryde had to go back in time like John Connor, to stop it all from happening with Wolverine’s help.
Now if this is supposed to be reworked for the First Class movie-verse, I have serious issues with it. First off, despite Havok having nothing to do with Cyclops or even hinting at a relationship and being older than Cyke, which is not true, the film did a good job of stripping away all the other bullshit and telling a story that made sense and kind of rebooted the awful continuity that has plagued the franchise. My fear is that introducing time-travel and alternate timelines will simply be an excuse to add in more useless mutant cameos, instead of really having much to do with the plot. Also neither Kitty Pryde or Wolverine really figure into this current rebooted x-world, so you are either adding them, and rendering all the other characters minus Magneto, Xavier, and Mystique (cause it’s Jennifer Lawrence), useless. Also Kitty Pryde was in Xmen 3, so she couldn’t be in this unless she was a super fetus.
If this is the proposed sequel to the original Xmen franchise, fine, cause I don’t care about those. But Matthew Vaughn did such a good job establishing an A+ world, with B team characters, that I would hate to see his world reduced to a shitty adaptation. But you have to remember Xmen rights are owned by 20th Century Fox and they are notorious for fucking up most genre stuff these days. I blame Tom Rothman.
Judging Dredd
I was 10 when the Sylvester Stallone starring ‘Judge Dredd’ came out. When unassuming it on video I loved it. The action was cool enough for me and the Rob Schneider humor got me.
I fully realize now as an adult (no one correct me) that its not a good movie. But this doesn’t mean that there isn’t a lot of pressure on the new Karl Urban starring reboot.
Beasts of the Southern Wild Trailer aka My Cleanse
I want to see this so badly.
I need to see a beautiful emotion film. I need to cleanse out some of the garbage my eyes and ears have been recieving lately.

Fake Movie Friday – Prefontaine 2: Blade Runner
Welp… Yeah… the title says it all. I’ve got nothing for this week. Not that I ever have something any other week. I had this title written down in an old notebook. This is by far the worst FMF yet, there is no real story arc or anything and I still wrote too much it. Not to mention this is probably the only FMF we’ve done that could not become an actual film.
Before we start, the poster for this will be similar to Weird Al’s Running With Scissors album cover.
For reference:
Moving on…
Fake Movie Friday: A Thousand Monkeys
Here’ s another movie that sounds so dumb but so real at the same time. I actually think the basic premise is a bit genius, and I’m ashamed to admit that. It started first as just a basic Kevin James talking animal film but, in a lovely twist of events, became more about the infinite monkey theorem. Enjoy.
A Thousand Monkeys
The film opens with a montage of an older woman doing work one morning around the house. She is doing laundry, which clearly belongs to a male. She is picking up toys around the house. She is cooking a big breakfast where the food is shaped like a smiley face. We see pictures on the wall of a little kid chronicling his history with a silly kids newspaper. The mother calls up to her son, Frank, as the camera zooms up the stair and into a room filled with toys and newspaper stuff (I don’t know what this means, I added the newspaper stuff at the end when I couldn’t think of a wrap up). The camera turns towards the bed and we see Frank, played by Jonah Hill, in a bed way to small for him snoring.

Fake Movie Friday – The Family Ink
Dudes. It’s been a really long time since there’s been a shitty movie about tattoos. Hang on there hasn’t been one ever? Ok well I just made one. This would be directed that guy who made 21. A piece of shit movie that made way more money than it should have.
Forest Green, played by Viggo Mortensen is a world famous Tattoo artist. People from all over the world come to his parlor Green in Bay Ridge, Brooklyn because they want the best. And he is the best. There is a sequence early on that shows how flashy and great with an ink gun he is and it plays like a scene from Cocktail. Everyone knows he’s the best. He has no friends and family cause the only family he needs is his gun. While he might be the best ever, time has passed him by. He never adjusted tattoo prices and as a result, is falling behind on his rent for Green. Also there is a new chain of Tattoo parlors in Williamsburg, Brooklyn, I.D. that has been poaching business from him, and Logan Miller, played by Garrett Hedlund is one of their hottest guns. Irwin Dean Miller, played by Henry Czerny (I.D.), is the brainchild behind the new tattoo parlors, and he is Logan Miller step-father. He has turned the tattoo biz into a sterile, family friendly enterprise. The creativity that has once been the staple of the tattoo parlor is gone, replaced with calculating efficiency and almost no care for the process.
I’m Scared
I’m still afraid to watch ‘Shame.’ All I hear is how much it will make you hate sex and most things about your desires. So when news came out that the team behind it (writer/director Steve McQueen and star Michael Fassbender) are making “Twelve Years A Slave” a film about slavery, I nearly hid under my bed.
