The X Men

Very good film. Made better by the actor playing Wolverine (Hugh Jackman) Looks like a young Clint Eastwood. I was gutted when he put his shirt back on. However he did remove it on a number of occasions during the film. I must look out for him in the future!!

The have left it open for a sequal or even a series. Patrick Stewart was Picard in a wheelchair. But all credit to him he is 60 and is still very sexy.

Great special effects and the guy who plays The Toad was Darth Maul for The Phantom Menace.

All through the film I could not get it out of my head that Wolverine looked identical to 'Wayne' out of Harry Enfield. 'I am fighting a baddy, you fat cooowww'

Either that or he looked like Monkey! Not Peter Reid, the classic programme of the eighties, 'ahhh Piggsy!'

The one think about Monkey I could never work out was. The person her was protecting were they male or female??

Or was it just a women playing a man?

Also he was way to sexy to look like monkey. He is a singer and dancer by training.

So he can sing and dance whilst looking like Monkey too? Talented chap, big future.

Monkey's priest companion is supposed to be a blerk, but was played by a lass (think of it like Peter Pan).

Also, http://www.tv.cream.org/ has plenty of excellent memories from years bygone.

Jay,

What is it with you and Galaxy and these Aussie men, first it was Russell Crowe and now Hugh Jackman.

I suppose you would like me to send you a Bio and his list of creditd too?

Well to be honest Galaxy did not ask I just sent it to her to keep her from shorting out her computer from the dribble on the keyboard, over to you Gav, however be careful as you might have to eat at her place in the near future!

Yes Wolverine was cool and if you insist Jay, Patrick Stewart is still sexy! Nothing to say about Rebecca Romajn or Halle Berry or the other gorgeous mutant (can't think of her name, the one with Patrick Stewart-type powers)?

I was pleasantly surprised with this film. Worst kept secret- there will be a sequel!

The other one was Famke Jansen (sp?) who had a large thigh crushing part in the James Bond movie golden eye....I'd certainly have a crack at sorting her out ;)) but miss Romain would definitely come first......

Muhahahaha....of course you haven't had......The Pleasure Rebecca.....we only just met baby :))

If you like Famke Jansen, Gav, be on the lookout for her new movie. I think it's called something like 'Love and Sex'(??). Can't remember exactly. Anyhow, saw the trailer for it the other night. Looks like some rather steamy scenes. I only remember she was in it because when her name was annouced my friend and I were surprised. She looked just like Sandra Bullock(Is that the one that was in 'Speed'??)

Gus

Can I have some info and piccys on Hugh Jackman then??? :o))))

Of course you can dearie, the first thing I suggest you try to get your hands on (NOW Gav, NOW) is a copy of "Paperback Hero".

I will send you some more info later, probably tomorrow from work, I have more time to send there than I do at home!

Besides if I stay on here too long Mrs gus will think I am having one of those cyber affairs!
