While I'm not a fan of "X2", I did like the original. A lot. Both films, however, featured terrific performances from:
Hugh Jackman
Patrick Stewart
Ian McKellen
Alan Cumming
Rebecca Romijn-Stamos (this girl has potential in Hollywood)

Posted: 11/18/04 at 3:41pmX2 was prettier and moved more smoothly than the first movie, but it didn't have the original's soul. Same with the Spider-Man, movies, both of which were wonderfully kinetic but didn't seem to have a solid center. Despite its clunkiness and plot holes you could drive a truck through, X-Men is still my favorite comic book movie.

I didn't realize that I was the one who originated all the madness here.

Plum - that is so funny.
If I recall Buggery was one of the offenses listed in the bar review course that I took 14 years ago and if I recall, the sheep must be a minor!
Buggery Act 1533
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia.
Jump to: navigation, search
The Buggery Act was adopted in England in 1533 during the reign of Henry VIII, and was the first legislation against homosexuals in the country. (See also sodomy law.) It was also one of the first anti-sodomy laws passed by any Germanic country. All Germanic codes up to this time ignored sexual acts except adultery and rape. The Buggery Act was piloted through Parliament by Thomas Cromwell. The Act made buggery with man or beast punishable by hanging, a penalty not finally lifted until 1861. Some have suggested that zoophilia was specifically included because of the fear of hybrid births.
It is sometimes suggested that the Act was introduced as a measure against the clergy, since the Act was introduced following the separation of the Church of England from Rome, though there seems to be no firm evidence for this. The Act itself only states that there was no "sufficient and condigne punyshment" (sic) for such acts.
Contravention of the Act, along with treason, led Lord Hungerford of Heyetsbury, to become the first person executed under the statute in July 1540, though it was probably the treason that cost him his life. Nicholas Udall, a cleric, playwright, and Headmaster of Eton College, was the first to be charged for violation of the Act alone - and probably in a politically motivated case - in 1541. In his case the sentence was commuted to imprisonment, and he was released in less than a year.

"When buggering sheep becomes the next big trend."
My dear, that has gone in and out of style since man domesticated animals - and in many places in this country, it's never gone OUT of style.
