So, I’ve been reading Ultimate Spider-Man lately (bye-bye, decent exam-period meals), and at first I thought it would be boring to read a superhero comic with only one superhero. I imagined it would be far less interesting than the more group-oriented superhero comics I’ve read before, like Astonishing and Ultimate X-Men and The Ultimates, as [...]
Posts filed in X-Men
One of Marvel’s groups of superheroes. These guys are mutants, and not well loved by neither governments nor people in their universe. I’ve only read “Ultimate” and “Astonishing” runs, though, and watched the three movies. The normal continuity seems to huge to embrace, though, especially at the moment, with the crossover Civil War story line. Maybe I’d read it if I didn’t have to order each and every issue from the States.
X-Men: The Last Stand
I feel like beating myself around the head with a heavy stick. Over a month ago, I watched X-Men: The Last Stand, and I have neither reviewed it here, nor entered into my movie log. Action must be taken; amends must be made!
Knowing my very exclusive readership, I’ll skip my usual half-arsed attempt at a [...]
X-Men: The Last Stand
I hadn’t watched this one since it was in theaters, so it was about bloody time I got around to it again. I guess I might have been postponing it for the last year or so because I wasn’t too impressed with the movie the first time I watched it. I thought they’d crammed too [...]
Movies Galore: A Summary
It’s nearly two months since my last movie review — a review, I might add, where I was unreasonably hard on the reviewed movie, as the fact that I’m in a foul mood shouldn’t really count against it. Anyway, since then I’ve watched a lot of movies: excellent movies, great movies, good movies, mediocre movies, [...]
X-Men 2
After coming home from “Spider-Man 3″, Kalle and I wanted to watch a really good Marvel movie, and decided to take a peek at one of my favourite superhero comic book adaption, “X-Men 2“.
It’s epic.
It has some great character moments.
There’s at least some semblance of character development.
It has an awesome cast, all of which deliver [...]
Good Times…
Ah, ’tis been a crappy day, in some ways.
Omniously enough, it started out alright, with me and my flatmate Håvard watching “Hush” while eating dinner. And that episode is still one of the show’s (or at least the season’s) best ones; it’s funny, it’s scary, it has major turning points in the lives of both [...]
“The thing about changing the world…”
“… once you do it, the world’s all different.
Everyone calls me ‘ma’am’ now.”
Oh man. The first issue of “Buffy the Vampire Slayer, Season 8″ has just left me in a state of chronic grinning, and fucking sea gulls are fluttering about in my stomach.
Sure, it was a little short (but that’s the way it is, [...]
Astonishing X-men: Gifted (and Dangerous)
Wow. I just read Whedon’s first X-Men story again, and boy, is it great. (“Just read” of course meaning just before writing this, not just before posting it.)
Sure, it obviously builds on a lot of continuity of which I know approximately squat, but it still manages to pull me in and move me. Like the [...]
The great hunt — AS4×2 Ground State
Angel’s up and about again, and after having dealt with his mischievous son he turns to the issue he spent second most time hallucinating about when he was submerged in the salty waves: Cordelia. We get to see another awesome Wesley scene, where he shows that he can run a tighter ship than Angel, and [...]
*giggle*
Never before has the tag “Great Expectations” been more fitting.
Erik Lensherr is a Great Man — Ultimate X-Men #19-23 “Brimstone and Hellfire”
Wow, that scene in the park really was awesome. Sure, Loki’d kida spoiled it for me, so I sorta knew what was coming, but it was nonetheless awesome for that. And later, once those annoying non-humanoid mutants had “freed” him, and he put his Magneto helmet back on… I had shivers running down my spine [...]
It would have been better with less Sandman-like art… — Ultimate X-Men #13-18 “World Tour”
Because there was a lot of really read-worthy stuff in here. There was drama, character interaction and development, a well-structured plot, interesting (and fun; one should never forget fun!) secondary and tertiary characters (wow, I think I just invented a literary phrase, although I’m convinced a) that the English language already has a word for [...]
Not even Terry Goodkind… — Ultimate X-Men #7-12 “Return to Project X”
And the goodness continues! Wraith and his crew are most likely the most amoral fictional characters I’ve ever encountered, and their dehumanistion of the mutants could rival even that of the Nazis, had they actually existed. Although, where Wraith and his gang of anonymous grunts were “evil” through and through — although in one of [...]
#20! :D
Å Rosenborg, å Rosenborg
E Trondhjems fotballag
Å Rosenborg, å Rosenborg
Tar seiern hjem i dag
Vi reise oss på store stå

Å ingen banke RBK
Åheiåheiåheiåhååååååååååååååååååååååååååååå!
Yay, unless Brann gets two 6-0 victories in their last two matches, and Rosenborg gets two 0-6 defeats, it looks as if I’ll be buying a new shirt next year. [...]
I feel all giddy inside — Ultimate X-Men “Tomorrow’s People” #1-6
Wow, that was one hell of an introduction. Quite a bit different from what I expected, but seeing as my expectations were largely built upon the goodnes that are the X-Men films, that was to be expected. The relationships between the characters were somewhat different, although not altogether dissimilar, as were some backgrounds and such. [...]
