I had a theory about the X-Men sequel and how it starts. I thought the beginning, like a prologue of some sort, will show Mystique holding her baby and drop him over a water fall.

But, instead, it shows an opening of the White House and there is like a tour going on. Nightcrawler will be doing some of these fancy tricks, but he's under mind control.

Is it just me, or should they make the beginning like I said, instead of showing the White house incident first?

They'll probably do the whole waterfall thing later in the movie.

nah... thow WE naturally are quite interested in the Elf, but it would just confuse less informed movie viewers.

the Whitehouse opening serves many purposes in terms of movie making that the waterfall scene could not. It introduces us to a new character, including his abilities and what he looks like (NOW not when he was a wee lil thing). it introduces us to the villain, Stryker. it shows us what Mystique is up to. It provides a central question with the fact that Kurt is mind controlled. WHY was he beig controlled? and by whom? It sets up the movie world's view on mutants anew, and povides a catalyst for the main plot. mutant tries to assasinate president - government responds by initiating anti-mutant policies - X-Men MUST respond to that. it's a great beginning to the movie since it serves multiple purposes.

Waterfall.... indroduces Nightcrawler, and reveals his connection to Mystique. but not his abilities, not his appearance as of today... not anything, really.

keep the Whitehouse beginning, says I!

yeah! it looks really interesting, and introduces the crawler with a bang! (or a bamf!):laugh:

Tabitha · Post by **Tabitha** » Mon Sep 23, 2002 1:22 am

: is correct. But still, any theories on how the X-men gonna encounter Kurty?

Aww, no piccies? Oh well, THANKYOU REX FOR PUTTING MY MIND AT EASE!!! I was scared that he was going to look real bad, but I trrust you that he will look good. I LOVE YOU!!!!!!!! *hugs Rex tight*

Whip marks? Wha....?

Oki, I'm confused

Frumious Bandersnatch · Mon Sep 23, 2002 1:26 am

i'm betting that they will either fight him and then have to rescue him, or find him in a church.

Tabitha · Post by **Tabitha** » Mon Sep 23, 2002 1:27 am

I vote for church. That is the most obvious place to be.

Frumious Bandersnatch · Mon Sep 23, 2002 1:28 am

and it would show the religeous thing very well!

Bamfette · Post by **Bamfette** » Mon Sep 23, 2002 1:46 am

well considering they were filming scenes at a church a few days ago, and several places have already reported that he IS found at a church, i'll go with that idea.... :p but i don't particularily like it because i fear we may get another TAS Nightcrawler... i hated him in TAS

TAS? Whazzat?

I'm looking more and more forward to the movie, now...

Bamfette · Post by **Bamfette** » Mon Sep 23, 2002 1:57 am

The Animated Series... ya know... where he was a monk? carried a bible with him at all times?

ahmed · Post by **ahmed** » Mon Sep 23, 2002 2:23 am

Oh...If they'd have made him more like he really is, I would have been a fan longer...and at that point and time, all I knew of the comic book world was from the shows...Gimme a break. I was 8 at the time...

BTW, how are all these people finding this place? Google?

according to our stats, and filtering out the ones that are in site or likely just image theft we are left with (for the month of September):

902 from google.com
294 from bamfcentral.com
222 from blue-elf.com
193 from dcboards.warnerbros.com
175 from superherohype.com
143 from yahoo.com
94 from..... marvel.com?! :o
84 from cat.devil.com
80 from X-Fan
51 from Lucy's blog

mostly google... but i was shocked by the marvel.com one i had no idea we had made the 'Marvel Buzz' sidebar thingy. that was the exact page it was coming from, was the 'Marvel Buzz'. what have we been saying worthy of that? huh. actually, it was probably this very thread.

the one from DC is from the Legion boards, and from Dave, so that's easy....

but i think it was yesterday. we were at 75 for marvel.com, but the second midnight hit (and the webalizer was updated for the day) marvels went to 94 so i think it was updated earlier today with new info, and if we had looked yesterday, nightscrawlers.com was on marvel.com.

btw we are getitng some hits tricking in from countingdown.com now. Rex, you've created a monster with this thread :p

8 from spawn.com? the hell...?

oooh! hits from comicscontinuum.com! hey, Evo Nighty got a new outfit. non-induced wearing street clothes. like, different clothes than he's worn before, i mean. he's got his shirt tucked into his underwear... *sigh* give the boy some fashipn tips, someone... that seems to be a running theme with non-comic Nightcrawler. bad fashion sense :p

222 from blue-elf.com

Oh geez, where on countingdown.com is this thread linked from?? Hey, that's a great site, actually ... I just had a look around.

I love all those 'Oh my god, is Alan Cumming gay???" threads.

Gee guys, what was your first clue? And anyway, he isn't -- he's bisexual. Thank you, God!

Bamfette · Post by **Bamfette** » Mon Sep 23, 2002 5:52 am

i dunno, i am looking, and some of these i can not find a link back to us, yet they are listed in the stats. i guess maybe someone from here just came to here after checking something on there. the ones in the list tho, have enough hits that several of them have to be genuine hits, and marvel.com's hits come from an imbedded page, so there is no way they can't be genuine hits

anyway, while searching i drifted away from my original intent and lookie what i found:

http://www.comics2film.com/DCG/DispArt. ... 372&f_ssn=

Alan Cumming as Nightcrawler photomanip. i am 99% sure that is NOT Cummings body but anyway.... DAMN!!

:

this one not quite as good cuz he'd got a weird expresion on his face... but it is still Cumming as Nightcrawler :p

http://www.comics2film.com/DCG/DispArt. ... 824&f_ssn=

these ar both just fan manips... i just thought they were cool is all

Yay! Always happy to see that people are enjoying the countdown. If you guys like it, I feel like I'm doing a good job. Shame ole' Kurt isn't on the teaser poster...what a missed opportunity! Not that I don't love the metal X (ok, so I don't love the metal X), but I would expect we'll be seeing Kurt on the final poster, whenever that pops up.

Oh and by the way - hope y'all don't mind...

:BAMF!

:laugh::laugh::laugh::laugh::laugh::laugh:

Those just kill me too!:rolleyes: What planet are these people from? And why does no one seem to understand what bi-sexual means? And I thought that I had been spending too much time under my rock.....

If a tenth of all of the rumoured scenes with Alan get into the film , there will be some very funny Nighty moments indeed!
Ive heard about entire scenes that would have us all going "That Is SO Nightcrawler!" I think that Alan will be a lot of fun if he is aloud to ad-lib a bit...he is a very funny man. And he should have quite a lot of time in the film, who would cast Cumming in a role only to not allow him to act? what a waste! Plus, I doubt that he comes cheaply...I think we will see a lot of him, and even if the focus IS on Wolvie, Alan is a better actor than Hugh...I will not be at all surprised if he steals the show.

Post by **Elwing** » Mon Sep 23, 2002 4:31 pm

Make that 99.99999999%, Bamfette....But nice montage. Oh, and keep tickling us pandora.....Grr. More mystery and I'll explode for sure.

I think you're right about the acting though. If they were concerned mostly about looks they would have hired someone else, younger, cheaper, prettier, more athletic, less whiny about prosthetics or whatever. But not that good an actor. Being a good actor is the only reason I can think of for hiring Allan Cumming. Now isn't that a comforting thought?

Some of the fanart in that gallery is hysterical though. Be sure not to miss it!
