Hey
I'm Marijke Rose (Say: Mar-EYE-Kuh - it's a Dutch name). I'm a huge fan of the X-Men, and especially Nightcrawler (uh, guess how I found this forum?). I live in Germany and speak both German and English, (guess why I love Nightcrawler? - Uh, no, actually not that, but rather because he's just cool all around!).
That aside, I love metal music - my fave bands are Sonata Arctica, Lordi, Rammstein, Eisbrecher, Nightwish... and also Celtic, like Faun, Santiano, Celtic Women, and more.
I love Horror, action Movies, and Nature documentaries - especially about the deep sea, coral reef, etc.. Come one, some of the most wicked, insane, fascinating creatures are in there - the oceans are an (mostly) undiscovered land. We hardly have a clue what's down there, and are constantly surprised by new findings!
I#m not a big-time Gamer; but am an avid Comicbook reader and cartoon watcher. And am also fascinated with Languages of all kinds. I fluently speak two, and am learning two more. I can also understand a couple languages (mostly, reading - can't speak them, but can read articles in them). I speak English and German; am learning Dutch and Czech; and can read Spanish, Italian and French, and a teeny bit of Polish - can't speak them, unfortunately.
That aside, I also dabble in the arts. I consider myself an artist (quite good), and have tried writing (uh, no so happy with the results there - seems to not be my thing).
Lastly, Nightcrawler totally rocks! I hope he'll appear in another X-Men movie. I know that Alan Cummings has opted out, doesn't want to do it again, but maybe they can find another actor to do it? Doug Jones, for example, doesn't mind spending hours putting on uncomfortable costumes and makeup every day (in fact, it's his thing - Doug Jones played: Abe Sapien {Hellboy}, Abe and the Angel of Death {Hellboy 2}, Pan and the Palemane {Pan's Labyrinthe}, and... okay, just shoot me, as I decided to start writing this, I promtly forgot his other roles!). Not saying that I think Doug Jones should be cast as Nightcrawler, just saying that there are other actors who can deal with the task of 'suiting up' for hours each day to play a character - and, that they should totally bring Nightcrawler back. Besides, if there's anything to be learned by both First Class and Origins, new actors are go. And, seriously, don't pick an actor because "he speaks fluent German", because... uh.. that apparently didn't work so well, as Alan doesn't want to ever do the part again. How 'bout getting an actor that 'gets' the character, and is adaptable enough to learn some German as needed for the role?
For Pan's Labyrinth, Doug Jones did not speak Spanish, but learned a bit, immersed himself - at least learning how to make it sound like he spoke spanish fluently.
The movie makers have so got to bring Nightcrawler back.
