Anything pre-Morrison I'm pretty hazy on.Calebhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01391759187396994380noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28855039.post-21785874558013387852013-12-10T02:03:52.802-08:002013-12-10T02:03:52.802-08:00My first memories of Logan, Mariko & Silver Sa...My first memories of Logan, Mariko & Silver Samurai were courtesy of Paul Smith:<br /><br />https://www.google.com/search?q=x-men+paul+smith+silver+samurai&safe=off&client=firefox-a&hs=n10&rls=org.mozilla:en-US:official&channel=fflb&tbm=isch&tbo=u&source=univ&sa=X&ei=2uWmUtYq0PqRB4z3gZAI&ved=0CEYQsAQ&biw=1366&bih=631<br /><br />Ridiculous or not, 173 was the most cinematic a comic had ever looked to me. An incontrovertibly excellent introduction to an absolutely ludicrous franchise. Still have it, point of fact.<br /><br />Yeah, I'm going to keep skipping this flick. Much as I like Hugh, I'd rather watch him spend his time on something worthwhile.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28855039.post-18096300420540157712013-12-10T01:12:46.453-08:002013-12-10T01:12:46.453-08:00Hdefined has a point.

Not that they're particularly memorable, but they're not new.JohnFhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09339402431610031589noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28855039.post-22219480634190076712013-12-10T00:49:29.833-08:002013-12-10T00:49:29.833-08:00Yep, movie Viper`s an amalgam.Yep, movie Viper`s an amalgam.Aki Alaraatikkahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11432612143247843259noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28855039.post-30699149364210322442013-12-09T22:54:51.406-08:002013-12-09T22:54:51.406-08:00I felt The Wolverine really felt like a serious dr...I felt The Wolverine really felt like a serious dramatic movie-movie as u called it, but then got really crazy at the climatic battle scene. Crazy as in, it felt really bizarre and disconnected from the rest of the movie.Eric Leehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04640838557576652332noreply@blogger.com
