They are like Rocky V. They never happened. Never.</blockquote> Funny enough, my brother invoked the "Rocky V" rule on <em>X-Men 3</em>, and we agreed that it had never happened as we left the theater. I thought it was inchoerent. Ten minutes after a motherfucker <em>uproots the Golden Gate Bridge</em>, we're supposed to believe that his best idea for mounting an attack is to throw cars? The X-Men defeat their enemy by giving him the cure, which they find morally abhorrent? Wolverine kills kids left and right like he's throwing punches? The end is about killing away your problems rather than redemption? Ridiculous as an X-Men movie, and not very good as a stand-alone action movie. Singer changed details, but he got the important stuff right, and he's just a way better director. Joel Schumacher should be stoned to death by a million latex nipples.

Batman and Robin and Batman forever don’t exist. They are like Rocky V. They never happened. Never.

First of all Batman is not gayer than Superman. Yes he lets a 12 year old fight crime with him in hot pants. but that not the point. Batman and Robin and Batman forever don't exist. They are like Rocky V. They never happened. Never. I guess now X-men would most represent a metaphor for queer kids at it were, though at the time it is just a metaphor for any minority. The queer aspect really took off after Bryan SInger and Ian McKellan identified with that aspect, and tied it into all their promotion for the orginal X-Men movie. Also, I enjoyed X-men 3. To say it was terrible isn't quite fair. It was a solid action movie, that should have not even bothered with the Phoenix storyline, but it was enjoyable for what it was. The X-men movie franchise has strayed so far the comics already that comparing it to the comics it worthless. Finally, I hope there is a special place in hell for Joel Schumaker. now this is a post I can get behind. First of all Batman is not gayer than Superman.
