Effortless: I dunno man, Darryl's a little too masculine to be an Emma Frost. In a perfect world, It'd be Charlize Theron, since in that world, Scarlet Johanssen is also gonna play Susan Storm - - but that's just me And like Mun says, one of BR's strengths is that you knew that those were 15 year olds on screen, getting stabbed, shot, and pummeled to death. I don't think a lot of backstage moms are gonna allow their little up and comers to go through that.

Mun: Oh yeah, I actually loved Eli Roth's direction of Hostel (Cabin Fever sucked mind you). There's even some homage to the Japanese film Suicide Club (excellent movie) in there, most notably the train scene. And Kou SHibasaki, known otherwise as Mitsuko SOuma, was actually too BUSY (she's a top face in Japan) to take the part that tarantino offered. Haha, take that America!!

 

[Marvels]

You're the only one. Kou makes me want to take that Hard Pill Yuty is talking about

 

[Marvels]

Can't really say exotic because I'm Asian...anyway if you blonde Angelina up, maybe she could do an Emma Frost. Actually, I want Luminum's side an who Frosty should be since over all of us here, he's the one who loves here the most

 

[Marvels]

Cool. Emma Frost is the chick on Luminum's signature.

 

[GL]

Emma Frost? Peta Wilson of La Femme Nikkita and Superman Returns.

 

[luminum]

You know, I always wanted Michelle Pfeiffer to be Emma. But now, Michelle's a bit too old...though I never say she isn't a bombshell, because she is. She's what I imagine her voice to sound like, not too deep but not too high and her eyes are a piercing blue.

I mean, TELL me that isn't The White Queen right there?

But I guess if we had to go with younger actresses, I'd say...well I have no idea, really.

 

[GL]

Michelle is so pretty and I think she is totally fitting (even though I really have no idea who Emma is, lol.) Michelle though is sexy for her age, and she's SUCH a talented actress. Her in White Oleander (sp?)... omg, I loved her.

Hopefully this will give you some background on Emma Frost.

Effortless? That last one of Daryll? Good one.

 

[luminum]

Okay, yes to the last one, but let's face it. Daryl really hasn't looked that good for a while. Even in her younger years, she would be too doe-eyed and sweet to be a convincing diamond sharp Emma. I think she has this look that's a bit too hard for the sharp and fine-faced Emma. Given, Daryl does look like Cassady's take on her (Astonishing) and it's almost uncanny (no pun intended) but I think that Michelle has that sharp, piercing look and that sinister sneer and wicked glint in her eye.

Mind Fucking You.

"I don't need to watch you, Frost. I can smell you."

Hard as diamonds.

A delicious thought we both can share...

As Headmistress of the Xavier Institute for Gifted Youngsters...

With Sophie.

There's that knowing gleam. She probably knows what you're thinking...

Oh wait, now she DOES know.

So tell me more, Scott, about the fascinating world of celibacy...

As child psychologist House of M Emma...

There can be only one...

By the way, have you guys read New X-Men # 28? Holy shit! Marvels. You were right! Emma is now my voice and my champion! She said everything I felt and she did it the way I would have. She bitch slapped that Carol danvers ( I love her, though) with her smoldering rage. I love you Emma!

Tony's still a tool. ;P

I'm also glad that the YA's and hopefully the Runaways are on our side.

 

[Marvels]

Yes, she certainly knows how to put people in their place. Still, I'm all for REGISTRATION! wahahahaha.

And as for a good Emma, hmm, how about we let the chick who did Simone do her? (If I were straight, I'd have a field day with that sentence...)

 

[luminum]

She's alright, but a bit too European. Emma's defintiely American/English depending on who portrays her. Hmmm...if only I kept tabs on actresses!

Fuck you and your registration!!!! ::mind blasts you::

 

[Marvels]

How about a brunette? She did dye her hair after all.

I did mean to ask, Emma's entire point for going against registration was that it would be a danger to the students if everyone knew where they were.. but doesn't everyone already know where they are?

oh. CAPTAIN AMERICA IS A STAR-SPANGLED CRIMINAL! It would have been mighty curious if it was Cap who was pro and Tony who was anti. I bet the world would explode.

 

[luminum]

Cap could never be pro (See Marvel 1602). Tony Stark was probably the one who shot him in the head before they sent him through the portal.

Emma's rationale is that while technically the location fo the mutants is known, it isn't public knoweldge and publicized like the Registration Whores are. I mean, come on, televised de-maskings? And we all can see how well things are going for Mr. Parker.

Emma was right and Carol deserved the mind fuck. I see lots of shovels and I wouldn't have it any other way just to guilt Stark. Uber-tool...

 

[Marvels]

Actually, Millar said that de-maskings are NOT supposed to be televised. Parker only chose to do that as a full show of support for Tony, anyone else can just get a form and pass it over to S.H.I.E.L.D.

And in Grant's New X-Men, Charles revealed that they were mutants while he was on a talk show, so from what I know, it's definitely public knowledge. Even in Kyle and Yost's New X-Men, televison reports about 'Sentinels protecting the mutants in the Xavier Institute' were shown.

Oh. Long live COMMUNISM!!!!! And anything other than democracy! wahahah!

 

[luminum]

Hmm, you're right. But still, her point stands. It isn't like she's going to say "Oh hell, they know where we are, let's make it official."

If it were me, I'd systematically go through large amoutns of people and mind wipe the location, since Emma can't do every single mind at once.

BTW, isn't awesome that they've basically made it official that the cuckoos can utilize Cerebra with little harm? I'm pleased.

I think right now, my two favorite title are Astonishing for the sophistication and realism, and New X-Men for the punch and fun.

 

[luminum]

Oh, BTW, can anyone explain to me what the hell is going on with Polaris/Lorna?

What happened to her when she was Pestilence and how did she get her powers back and why is she back to that costume?

 

[Marvels]

I'm pretty sure that Lorna is STILL depowered, her powers are now some sort of weird Egyptian nanotech crap or whatever. Apparently, she's now the most powerful member of the Uncanny team.

And yep, the Cuckoos are awesome. It's also neat that they're showing the different personalities of the sisters, albeit in subtle ways, like how Mindee can't bear to say that Jay is gone, even though Pheobe doesn't even seem to flinch at the possibility.

Hmm, yeah, Jean could have reversed the whole 'public knows' on her own without any trouble, but she'd probably let that heart of gold get the better of her. Now if I were a telepath, I'd probably use it for nasty things, like forcing my straight crush to fall for me.

 

[luminum]

I could never force my straight crush, but I'd see if he had any inklings, and if he did, I'd exploit it. But if not, I'd leave him be.

I wonder if they're pulling for that whole dynamic Mindee had against Jay and him interrupting her music. Being a 'music hater' or whatever.

I can see why they killed off/depowered all those characters, though, since they were nice in theory but just too powerful or too boring or too cumbersome. Like Sophia's power was too generic and her character was too 1-dimensional. Laurie was just too powerful and Jay's flight was too cumbersome and couldn't protect him (which is probably why Angel is used so little now). David they probably depowered because with the block in place, he's just like synch only without any powers and he's defenseless enough. He's practically just a temp-smart human. But I'm glad they kept him for some human character respect (see how respected he was with the Cuckoos). I figure he'll probably become like a Moira-type character.

When they switched writers, the old writers were kind of sad that they didn't get to follow through with the next story arc they were setting up (Laurie's father). I wonder how that would have gone...

Plus, they seemed to have dropped Wither's character all together and that love triangle between him, Laurie, and Cessily.

 

[Marvels]

Yeah, at the very least I'd try and figure out how this one guy (who I love) really feels for me. especially since we've kinda hated each other from the first day we met (cliche much), and there's a small fanclub of horny chics who want to see us become a couple. I think I even remember a girl wanting to write a fanfic about us...

Well, with Elixir's new powers, I seriously doubt they'd have any need for silly little Wither anymore.

And I'm fairly certain that it's Austen who wanted to highlight Mindee was the Cuckoo with the most personality (giving her a bf and having her go as far as sock Sabretooth)

Laurie on the other hand, yeah, anyone who can kill Quentin Quire without so much as a sweat is definitely OP. I never liked David, and I miss Sofia because I get to see the sweeter side of Elixir when she's around

 

[GL]

Oh that's right! I'll borrow it from my friend sometime this week. I am curious to check it out.

 

[luminum]

Eh, UA wasn't that good. I can't imagine UA 2 could be any better.

I really liked their names. Mindee, Phoebe, Esme, and Sophie. Celeste seemed a bit out there and not so much of an 'olde' name as the others.

I wish Sophie was still alive. Oh well, at least she shined

I liked Sophia because of how she made Hellion act. He was sweet when he was with her. I thought i tmight be interesting if they kept her there as his love interest and especially since he was such an up and coming mutant superiorist. It would be cool.

I think it would have been great to keep David and Sophia there as human liasons and researchers, etc. It would have made sense because Sophia has hardly any family and david's already staying there. The interesting bit would be that they used to be the co-heads of the New X-Men team and now depowered, they still work together to help the team somehow.

But one can only dream...
