Welcome back!

This film's not on any streaming service here. Just rent or buy.

"X-Men: 2099: The showrunner's left for.. 'reasons'... that we won't say why! But watch our show anyway, fanboys! It's got fake future swear words!"

Clancy Brown... Lex Luthor *and* Mr. Krabs.

My French knowledge is mostly from a book-on-CD I used before visiting Montreal. (Enough to read the signs.) Took Spanish in school...

@dtgeek Thanks!

Curious if we'll ever find out exactly what happened with X-Men '97 and the firing of the showrunner. Given the timing, I assumed something big was going to drop about them that prompted them to try and get ahead of it, then...nothing.

I guarantee your French is better than mine!

@24panels "Good enough to read the signs" didn't equal "good enough to speak it." Especially when people in Montreal assumed I was a local, including some tourists?
