ugh this question is the worst! I’ve seriously been thinking about this question for a week now. Maybe that’s why I like the X-Men universe so much, because no one character (other than the obvious) stands out to me all that much (no matter how much Wolverine and Jean Grey and Cyclops are foisted upon me)?
I also feel pressured to pick a major character (and an actual mutant), and not like Broo or Doop from Wolverine and the X-Men.
That being said, I think it might be Ororo. I say “think” only because she hasn’t really played a big role in any of the X-Men books I’ve read, and Halle Berry was pretty terrible, lacking what I think is the essential fierceness and strength of the character. I suspect that there was a lot more missing, other than a mohawk, and I’m excited to learn more about her in Uncanny X-Force and Wolverine and the X-Men.
Or it may be Hank. I do love Hank, and the storyline in New X-Men when Cassandra Nova seriously fucks with him…so good. Yea, it’s probably Hank.
tapiocanaif replied to your post: OMG YOU GUYS UNCANNY X-FORCE WHO IS READING THIS…
I read it. I can’t believe some stupid thing happened to that stupid character for some reason.
I’m changing my Comixology password.
(Conversation originally had over text messages, transcribed and edited for readability and also to make us seem like people you would want to hang out with.)
Julie: This was really excellent.
J: Woman fighting for ownership of her body, the harmful drive of acting and fame.
J: Polanski really knows how to make a disturbing movie.
Tim: Yep, though there’s this weird reaction against “hippy” stuff going on.
J: Yea, the organic in favor of the clean and sterile.
T: Satan shops at the farmers’ market.
This is a thing that Tim and I are working on - more film-specific conversations, hopefully insightful, hopefully funny, we’ll see. Let us know if you have suggestions!

Why did I ask for this, I don’t know how to answer these.
I don’t know that I’ve seen a lot of remakes, so I’ll say The Departed because it’s been on my mind lately, having recently watched Infernal Affairs (with you). As far as types of remakes go, I like it because it adds something to the film (Bostonized), and it isn’t just about doing what I think is a rather questionable practice of taking a foreign film and keeping everything pretty much the same except the foreign. The Departed has lots of things I love, including but not limited to Boston, Ray Winstone, the best Leo performance, Boston accents, Marky Mark, the best Baldwin, gangsters.
First favorite actor - this isn’t first actor crush, but something more. Like, when did I start becoming aware of film as a thing, acting as a craft…probably not until rather late. Honestly, and this is kinda weird, it probably wasn’t until I saw some more Brando roles that I really took note and was like, OK, acting is a real thing. It’s extremely easy for me to get caught up in stories, and the quality of performance is not actually really something that I was aware of affecting that involvement until way too late in life. Brando is probably not the right actual answer, but he’s the first I can identify.

I think that’s a stupid idea that I absolutely want to do. I miss your stupid face too.
tapiocanaif replied to your photo: Any comics fans out there? What are yall reading…
One thing I’ve definitely learned that it’s not so much Titles as Writers/Artists that I love. Matt Fraction’s Hawkeye is awesome but I dunno that I would read it if it was by anyone else. Probably why I’m not so keen on reading any of the Xmen stuff
That’s true. I will check out anything that Frank Quitely draws. I seem to be a fan of Matt Fraction. I should go through older stuff based on creator, good idea. But I do really love certain characters, and for some reason I have always been drawn to X-Men. More X-Men! Plus I love Wednesdays and new comics =)

I want to go see Apocalypse Now with you so bad that my face just melted
I started to text that you should hop on a plane to Austin for Sunday night but then I didn’t send it because I didn’t want it to seem like I was gloating. Also, thanks for this reminder, buying tickets now =)

Are we talking things I could realistically pick up and carry with me as I run for my life? Or if I could somehow pick up any inanimate object in my apartment and take it with me?
Hm, as I was replying, I was going to put under “unrealistic” things like my TV and Le Creuset, big items that I am too cheap to buy again, but then I realized hey, that’s what insurance is for! So:
- Phone - sorry, I’m that person
- Social Security Card/Passport - those things are a bitch to replace, and I keep mine together
- Probably something pretentious, like my copy of Infinite Jest I’ve been carrying around in all my moves since high school.
I may have a lot of objects, but apparently I am not very emotionally attached to them.

Uh… Life of Pi isn’t exactly “feel-good” in the way I think you think it is. At least if it is faithful to the spirit of the book.
It’s being released between Thanksgiving and Christmas. How is Hollywood not going to make it into a feel-good movie? =) No, I get what you’re saying, which is why I said what I said, which is what you had said as swinging me =P
Shawn and I recently took a long trip back to Pittsburgh, a place that I still consider home in a lot of ways (and in a lot of ways not). This trip, possibly more than any other, brought up lots of thoughts and feelings about the concept of home.
But that shit’s boring. The trip was great. Saw a lot of friends (cue feelings of home), but didn’t get to see as many people as we hoped. The weather was perfect - beautiful true fall days with vibrant colors and crisp smells that only occur when you’re visiting and not actually living there. Even the gray and rainy day felt right. Spent time in Shadyside, Bloomfield, Polish Hill, Lawrenceville, the Strip District; neighborhoods filled with people and buildings that don’t seem to exist outside of Pittsburgh, but which are all feeling the changes that are setting in to the city.
Went to a picture-perfect wedding, where I hugged a heat lamp most of the night. After that sentence, it’s impossible to say anything that doesn’t sound sarcastic, but it was honestly a really lovely wedding.
Ate way too much, but got to visit some restaurants I’ve been missing (Coca Cafe, Tessaro’s, Udipi, Park Brugge) and check out some new ones. We took a trip out to Cecil, PA (about 30 minutes from Pgh) to The Golden Pig, a Korean home-cooking restaurant run by one amazing woman.
Was blown away by the Pittsburgh Public Market, which came in after we had already left. Also walked through the Italian festival in Bloomfield, where I ate both a meatball sub and raviolis (yes, raviolis, this is Pittsburgh). Took every chance I could to eat pierogies.
And took a trip out to coal country the following weekend, where we visited Shawn’s family, played some games, saw the seven dwarves (nieces and nephews), but also got to hear about Obama =(
Sometimes I don’t know if Austin is the place we’ll end up. There are so many great things about this place, but I’m still really drawn to the Northern/Eastern post-industrial cities. It’s the aesthetic I feel most comfortable in - the crumbly, generations-old buildings, the warehouses and manufacturing plants taking up valuable waterfront real estate, the real blue-collar foundations, a sense of real history. But fuck being cold all the time.

Agreed. Also, “tradge”. As in, “I didn’t get to tell PTA about my feels when I saw him. Tradge.”
