To reach a wider audience that isn't as well versed in the canon as you are - not that there IS any such a thing as comic book canon.

Look at all the versions of the Marvel Universe from the Ultimates on back, and the same thing in DC what with the Crisis, Post Crisis, Earth -Two and all. At one time Batman carried guns and Superman could'nt fly.

Movie "canon" even gets worked into the comic canon - example being Superman's Fortress of Solitude being a crystalline construct, and in the comics that same structure has moved from the mountains outside Metropolis to the Arctic, Antarctic, outer space, the Earth's core, the Andes and the Amazon rain forest.

Just enjoy each continuity for what it is and its quality.

Though full reviews won't be coming out until later this week (mine will hopefully be up before the weekend), early word on "X-Men: First Class" is that it may not only be the best in the franchise, but the best Marvel movie to date.

Cameo Scene Revealed!

Half way through X-Men: First Class, as Professor X and Magneto are travelling the world looking for mutants, they come across Wolverine, played by Hugh Jackman, in a bar. Before they can get a sentence out, Wolverine, without looking at them tells them to ?Go [frick] yourselves.? They leave.

The character?s appearance gets a laugh, his attitude and language gets a double laugh, repeating on itself, through the audience. It?s a superb scene, well played, well staged, well placed. And it?s the only moment such language is used in the entire film. We loved it.

The majority of the people that will see this will have no clue about the true history of the comics. While that will **** of those that do follow the comics, most will see this for what it truly is for, entertainment.

Thats a good thing. I read most of the comics when I was young (do not read comics anymore), but I do not want to see a carbon copy of the comics. I prefer to see the characters and a :shock: new story. I do not know why people care about these things so much to the point of bringing a piece of paper and a pencil to write down every error from the comics. It is a modernized version of X-Men!

Throw the paper and pencil away, sit down, eat some popcorn, and enjoy a nice movie for what it is. It seems 90% of movies these days get horrible ratings, yet I like most of them because it is nice entertainment for a couple of hours.

The more i see of this movie the worse it starts looking, they have completely screwed up the timeline and the characters and stories, they arnt even following the comics anymore, they are just making it up as they go along and sticking the xmen name on it.

This movie is going to be horrible, but sadly it will do really well in the box office and the creators wont learn a damn thing or even know they screwed up which seems to be the pattern with most of these movies.

If you read the comics then you should know there are multiple Universes. Consider the movies a separate Universe as most of these movies only use the comic books as a reference. It wouldn't be fun if the original stories would be told in a movie if one already knows the story.

It's nowhere stated that these movies would be following the comic books either.

This is looking GOOD. Opens next week -

Excellent Question (Emma Frost/White Queen) -

Shaw Attacks (Sebastian Shaw/Black King) -

With Us or Against Us (Sebastian Shaw/Black King) -

Finding Shaw (Banshee) -

and that completes the full movie :p :D

Yeah, I don't get the constant whine of why certain comic movies don't follow the comics. What's the enjoyment in that when you know what's going to happen? If it's too predictable, then it's no longer fun.

Then it's also no longer a "comic" movie and just a Hollywood treatment of a comic they rewrote and decided for whatever reason couldn't fly (no pun intended) as a standalone movie itself.

But then again, some comics are sooooo convoluted and complicated that doing an origin story would be impossible without embellishing it for the masses. I mean, I'm still shocked Thor is doing so well still.

I am so looking forward to this movie, and my only disappointment with it so far is why the hell did they not release it this weekend. I mean I know the Hangover 2 comes out, but two different types of movies and this movie is going to do incredibly well over the long haul regardless. Perhaps releasing it this week may have not meant a blockbuster opening weekend, but it just would have been nice since I have a 4 day weekend. I am definitely going to see the Hangover 2 this weekend, but I would have went to go see this as well.

They would have competed with Kung Fu Panda 2 also. 3 huge movie openings in one weekend usually doesn't add up to major bucks for one of them :p

Meh, Kung Fu Panda 2. I guess that explains why I have been seeing so many commercials with that damn Panda. :laugh: I really did not put 2 plus 2 together about it also opening this weekend.

I do get it, but at the same time I think KFP2 has a pretty distinct crowd of young kids, so really would not compete with at least The Hangover 2. But I do get it, Hollywood is all about their opening weekend numbers, no doubt about that.

Don't think she's not Asia but Black/Jewish - that's Zo? Kravitz, daughter of Cosby actress Lisa Bonet and musician Lenny Kravitz. She plays Angel Salvadore.

    • Microsoft will soon allow some users to block Copilot from analyzing their Office files by Usama Jawad Microsoft Purview is a pretty useful data governance, security, and management service that allows customers to gain enhanced visibility and control over their content. It's meant for commercial customers, such as organizations that are storing data at scale. As AI continues to expand and infiltrate every corner of a firm, many are a bit conscious about the technology gaining access to their confidential data. Microsoft is now making a configuration change that will allow such customers to rest easy. Right now, users within an organization have the option to apply Purview sensitivity labels (when available) to secure certain files and label them as such. For example, if you apply the "Confidential" label on an Excel file, the file will be encrypted, and a "confidential" watermark will be applied to it. So, if this file is shared with anyone, they are aware that its access is supposed to be restricted. Up until now, Microsoft was allowing some connected experiences, like its AI services, to analyze files, regardless of their sensitivity label. This is of major concern to most organizations, as a recent example highlighted how confidential emails with data loss prevention (DLP) policies like privacy labels were being uploaded to Copilot for analysis. As such, Microsoft is updating an existing Purview data label sensitivity setting that prevents "some connected experiences that analyze content", from being blocked completely from doing this. The label isn't changing, but the blocking is now being enforced across all connected services (including Copilot and other AI tools), and now extends to Microsoft Word, Excel, and PowerPoint. Files with the label applied already will get this enhancement automatically too once it becomes available. Microsoft has urged IT admins to inform their respective helpdesk and compliance teams, update internal documentation, and review sensitivity labels to ensure that they meet their respective compliance needs. This change is tagged as MC1297982 in the Message Center. General availability is scheduled to begin in a phased manner soon and will complete by the end of next month. That said, it is important to note that this only applies to commercial customers who have a license that allows them to use Purview.
