I haven't got a copy yet, but I hear that the President of the US in Chris Claremont's novelization of X3 is named David Cockrum. Gee, I hope I'm as good a fictional president as Jed Bartlett...:LOL

Really? That's pretty cool.. I planned on writing a fan fic and have the President be named Chris Cockrum or something that incorporated both their names, but I haven't started it:D

Hey Paty, the Beast says hello as well.

[quote]Page 326, original edition:
"Actually, I could, if the fella I have in mind weren't so damn stubborn. Any time you want a job, Henry!"
"Due respect, sir, the government job I find myself fantasizing about isn't really yours to give."
Cockrum snorted. "Give a man his second term, will you? Be well, Henry."
"Best to Paty, sir."
"By the way," the president said just before breaking contact, "a very young lady just walked through the wall behind you. Does that happen often?"
"Do you really want to know?"

Hello Everyone!!! I'm glad to be here. Does anyone know if Patty has seen the movie and what were her thoughts on it?

Her name's spelled with ONE T, and is pronounced PAY-tee. And yes, she's seen X3. On the whole, she liked it, though both she and I were very upset with Magneto for abandoning Mistique just because she was no longer a...oops, I guess that's a spoiler, isn't it? :LOL

I take it she liked Magneto's new "shoot first, never ask questions" attitude? :smirk

Yeah, she does. She didn't like the 'pawns go first' crack, and she thinks Mags ought to be wearing armor by now. And Mags is supposed to be the bad guy, but who really is? The people with the cure, right?

Republican's fault? If Democrats didn't promote higher gas prices, block production, and tax every drop, the price would be below $2 a gallon even with the high price of crude. :tonguewag
