In anticipation of the new X-Men movie "Days of Future Past," the CCD team is taking a look back at all the previous entries in the series. We work our way in detail through each movie, with episode 1 focusing on the first three, X-Men, X2 and X-Men: The Last Stand. We also talk about the long road X-Men took getting to the big screen, false starts, missed opportunities, dodged bullets and fanboy dreams. The recent announcement of Channing Tatum being cast as Gambit in a future film is also touched on, as well as some general observations of the comic movie landscape, past and present, and the X-Men comics history.

 
Episode 2 will be along next week, where we'll look at the remaining films. The good, the bad....and the Origins.

A To Z Blogger Challenge: Day 24 - X Is For X-Men III: The Last Stand

As we are closing to and end of the challenge I am faced with a challenge... who should I pick for X? I decided I would go with X3, because they have a lot of random people in it and I could grab an obscure hottie instead of picking Famke Jansen and Halle Berry from the first two flicks. So who am I going with? I am going with a little Asian persuasion and picking Mei Melanchon, the actress who played Psyclocke. First of all, the chick is stunning. She is gorgeous. She is stacked. And she also kicks major ass. She has been featured in a ton of movies since Last Stand, so you might not know her name but you probably will know her face.
