My point was the music they picked was <i>inappropriate for the setting and the age of the people present</i>. Adults at a swank nightclub in would have been listening to jazz of some sort, not a pop tune from that year.Treyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04647628467658839351noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8302487761596456689.post-9008499816467047092011-06-06T12:28:11.125-04:002011-06-06T12:28:11.125-04:00I really liked the movie overall, except for some ...I really liked the movie overall, except for some liberties with history.<br /><br />Sadly, Mr. Kiss Kiss Bang Bang did not release until 1965 and would have been anachronistic. Remember, much of what we think of of the 60s, is really the late 1960s. In '62 the 50s are just ending, the Beatles are just getting famous and so on.<br /><br />My <a href="http://seaofstarsrpg.wordpress.com/2011/06/06/review-x-men-first-class-movie/" rel="nofollow">light review and history nitpicks here</a>.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8302487761596456689.post-53243978566945425302011-06-05T22:09:01.901-04:002011-06-05T22:09:01.901-04:00This one is high on my list even though I still fe...This one is high on my list even though I still feel burned over X3 and Wolverine.

I thought it was a great movie and hope they continue with these earlier stories. Though it mostly took place in the 60's, you are correct, it didn't quite capture that feeling like say MadMen. But I did like the 60's style submarine set. It reminded me of something from the Our Man Flint movies.<br /><br />I think these Marvel movies are really being knocked out of the park. I'm really enjoying what they're doing with them and where they're going.<br /><br />good times ahead!bliss_infintehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12433733609487959653noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8302487761596456689.post-63770671453480575082011-06-05T13:09:04.789-04:002011-06-05T13:09:04.789-04:00Any review that touches on “Mister Kiss Kiss Bang ...Any review that touches on “Mister Kiss Kiss Bang Bang?” is swinging in my book!Needleshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11243274667834930867noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8302487761596456689.post-21633489135689086412011-06-05T11:47:27.641-04:002011-06-05T11:47:27.641-04:00Hearing a lot of good things about this,thanks for...Hearing a lot of good things about this,thanks for that.The Angry Lurkerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01227314379603418332noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8302487761596456689.post-38279642620817286972011-06-05T10:40:28.771-04:002011-06-05T10:40:28.771-04:00I think it sort of is the genesis of the abandoned...I think it sort of is the genesis of the abandoned "X-Men Origins: Magneto" that had gotten talked about back around the same time they started on Wolverine. <br /><br />It's a shame the franchise took such a dip with X3 and Wolverine. But I'm glad they seem to have picked up with this one. It gives me some hope maybe the Wolverine Sequel (set in Japan, If it still gets made) and the Deadpool movie (I doubt this will ever see the light with Reynolds doing GL now) could really flesh out the X-Universe. It's a good idea for fox since they only have the X-men and Fantastic Four to play with.Lagomorph Rexhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06385231158384929598noreply@blogger.com
