That line still haunts my dreams as delivered by the little wooden girl. I wonder if she's related to Hayden Christensen?[/quote] It was through watching the "Star Wars" prequels that I came to the divinely inspired realization that bad acting is actually a mortal sin. I still believe I was put through cruel and unusual punishment, in violation of my Eighth Amendment rights. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If a Catholic were a professional actor, he would have serious obligations to do his work well, as per Lumen Gentium and Christifideles Laici. But I'm not sure if it goes as far as mortal sin. Perhaps really bad acting would qualify as grave matter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Example: Episode III where he's like "You're so beautiful." and she's like "It's because I'm so in love" and he's like "No it's because I'm so in love with you", and she asks "So love has blinded you?"

ardillacid Posted May 6, 2009 Share Posted May 6, 2009 I really liked this movie. I am guessing their budget was significantly less than that of the other X-Men films. A lot of the green/blue screen shots are low quality. The most noticeable were the parts with his claws and when the prisoners are rescued by Xavier. Gambit and the Blob were awesome.

Saint Therese Posted May 6, 2009 Share Posted May 6, 2009 My nephew told me they ruined Deadpool as well. I had several issues with this movie. One of the big ones was the so called resolution of the Wolverine/Sabretooth conflict. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

N/A Gone Posted May 17, 2009 Share Posted May 17, 2009 How does deadpool whisper? btw, as someone trained in martial arts, close combat and specifically katana. The effectiveness of holding the sword and being able to spin-pivot the sword as compared to it retracting from his hands are completely different. Think of the scene when he busts into the room at the beginning and figure eights bullets. He could not do that with the surgical knifes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AngelofMusic Posted June 17, 2009 Share Posted June 17, 2009 I loved the new movie. Except for the Deadpool mess up, it was pretty darn awesome! I stayed after and I saw the first mystery scene. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
