Good point about Legally Blonde. I'd actually forgotten about that role. Something I wish she would've avoided doing. It just kept reminding me of Clueless. I kept drawing these Alicia Silverstone connections while watching. When I suggested Reese, I was drawing from her extraordinary turns in such films as Freeway, Pleasantville and Election. She was even amazing in her first film Man in the Moon. Hey, I'm curiuos, too.
I think I have that Wizard issue somewhere, too. God only knows where it is. Fun stuff though.
I haven't said anything about Emma Frost as yet, but I'll chime in and go on record as saying "She can rape my mind seven days of the week". How does that Nirvana song go...
Wolvie issues... now I've done it- haven't I? I knew I probabley catch it pretty easy in the ass on this one. So here it goes... First off: Logan is only a mere
5'5" to 5'6" if that. Scott on the other hand is 6'1" to 6'2". That leaves Scott towering over Logan in proportion. Just look for any group introduction scene in any of the comics and it plainly clear that Logan is pretty short in comparison. Take the scene in X2 were Jean supposedly dies. Marsden is hollering his head off inside the plane to go do something. And of course he is be restrained by Logan who is... towering over Marsden. Umm, OK, that is so
not correct.
Secondly, Wolverine has a hell of a lot more hair. I like him with all that F'd up hair. He's cool. A buddy of mine at work has this cool saying whenever he's beaten you at something, he says "You f*** with the bull, you're gunna get the horns." And that's how I see Wolverine. (Another saying goes "You f*** with me, you get f***'d back with.") I've always seen Wolverine as short, stocky and with plenty of hair. I just can't think of any actor of that size and phyisque right now.
Artists: Too many good ones to list. Joe Madureira is a phenomenal artist. I thought he turned it up a notch after he left Uncanny to go start Battle Chasers over at Image. And then you mentioned Jim Lee. What can I say about Jim that hasn't been said already. The guy is a god with a pencil. All of his X work will be forever remerabered as being the best. His style and line work is just amazing. I still don't know what quack was responsible for hiring no talent Rob Liefield. God, he was aweful! Do you remeraber Joe Quesada's stuff on X-factor. Damn, he did some very cool stuff back then. More recently he blew me away with his Kevin Smith storyline in Daredevil. As far as the Kuberts go, I preferred Adams work more than Andy's. But, my favorite artist still has to be Adam Hughes. It always took him forever to finish a book (which lead to him losing a monthly title) but the rendering was undeniably god-like.
