I just read this: "When Bryan Singer was still set to direct, he intended the Dark Phoenix storyline as the sole focus of the film. He also intended to feature the villain Emma Frost/White Queen as a major character, with the role intended for Sigourney Weaver. With Singer's departure, the character of Emma Frost was dropped, and the Dark Phoenix story was relegated to a subplot in favor of the "cure" storyline. He also planned on introducing long time fan favorite Gambit into the film, to serve as both the new recruit as well as a romantic rival of Iceman's for Rogue's affection. For the part, Singer had planned on casting Channing Tatum. However, once he left, the script was changed, and Gambit was reduced to a minor cameo, then ultimately dropped from the script."
How depressing is that? I would much preferred THAT movie as opposed to the piece of crap that was turned out in its place. My Dark Phoenix Saga was ripped to shreds. Sad.
This weekend was all over the place and very interesting. There was a huge party for Phil and Chase's birthdays on Friday night, at Bub O'Malley's. It was very fun, interesting, and just... all over the place. Granted, there was a bit of drama, but everything looks better in sunlight, so by the next morning, everything was okay. The only cloud over the weekend was that I was sick... well, I still am sick. It was actually a pretty quiet weekend because of this. I was just too sick to do much of anything. I went to bed so early last night (7:30 pm) that I woke up at 4 am wide awake. That was lovely, and I don't mean that sarcastically. After tossing and turning for an hour, I went outside in a sweater. I ended up reading, as the sun came up, on my front porch, with a cup of tea. It was wonderful.
This week should be good. I think tonight is just Monday Night Football. Tomorrow night is another Bub O'Malley's softball game. It's yet another round of the playoffs. And as for the rest of the week... I don't know. We shall see!
I will also be raiding Old Navy this weekend for new clothing. I'm very excited about that. I also realized that since moving here from Florida, I actually don't own any other shoes other than flip-flops, which is not going to work, as the weather is starting to get a bit colder. Also, all of my sweaters and things from when I lived in Boston are too big. Oh shucks, an excuse to get all new stuff.
I'm trying to think of things to post about, but it all seems rather inconsequential. What I will be doing this week, however, is posting a ton of pictures, so keep an eye out for it. The pictures will span about three months, heh. Should be interesting.
Lastly, Cingular is making me insane. I'm giving it another month before I jump ship to Alltel. It's what I planned on going with when I first moved here, but my stupid ass did not. I'm so sick of Cingular.
