Lazy Sundays #3: Fox Executive!

This Lazy Sunday comes from occasional writer and film aficionado Milan.

He asked a fair amount of time back what I would do if I was a Fox executive for the day. To add the obvious comic twist I'm an executive trying to salvage Fox from their awful attempts at comic book movies.

So here's a step by step guide to what I'd end up doing as a Fox Exec:

  • Curl up and cry that I'm stuck in the worst company for comic book adaptations.
  • Wish I was remaking Tank Girl or some similar, actually awesome, movie.
  • Cancel the Magneto movie.
  • Whip Jennifer Garner and tell her never to play a ninja assassin ever again.
  • Kill EVERYONE.
  • Personally apologise to Alan Moore for the LXG film.
  • Cry more.
  • Allow Marvel to have a majority of creative control over the X-Men: First Class movie.
  • Watch Nick Fury: Agent of S.H.I.E.L.D. and laugh.
  • Feel better.
  • Realise Fox weren't trying to make a comedy.
  • Cry More.
  • Announce intent to use the X-Men license for good movies.
  • Follow this up by selling self and X-Men license back to Marvel for pittance.
  • Make an X-Factor Investigations television program following relevant Uncanny X-Men material being used for a new trilogy of GOOD X-Men movies based around the introduction of the Uncanny X-men (First class will cover the original line-up), Days of Future Past/stuff like Beast's secondary evolution, and finally Grant Morrison's New X-Men.
  • Now free from Fox's grasp, prepare all Marvel owned heroes with movies for House of M, the penultimate film in the Mutants franchise and a HUGE stepping stone in all other movies.
  • Make a final X-Men movie, Decimation, which will tie in with the X-Factor Investigations tv show.
  • Kill Michael Bay
  • Laugh
  • Die
  • Return from the dead with Phoenix powers
  • Turn real world into a twisted and far more hopeless version of 'Dark Phoenix Saga'
  • Realise I'm not a woman and look retarded in the Phoenix costume.
  • End universe

And that's that. The weekend has been kinda empty updates wise, blame that on me going to the beach too long today. Quick-Fire Reviews before the night is out, maybe the Top Five?

It doesn't matter too much you're not impatient people. Just voiceless tiny amounts of people.
