Weapons of Class Destruction

Snagged from musetrax :

1. Bold the names of guys you'd definitely sex it up with.
2. Italicize the names of guys you might do after a little persuasion.
3. Leave the guys who don't do anything for you alone.
4. Put a question mark after the guys you've never heard of.
5. Strike the guys you wouldn't touch with a ten-foot pole.
6. Add four more guys to the list!

Big thanks to rohajavongareth to directing me to this blog: Winter Is Coming @ Blogspot. It's got all the latest on HBO's pilot for a possible Song of Ice and Fire series, including a confirmation of Sean Bean's casting and a bit about Harry Lloyd being cast, squee! (Pfui to them calling him 'essentially an unknown' though; a fantasy fan worth their salt and with access to BBC America could recognize him instantly as Will Scarlet among other roles!) If I wasn't anxious before, I sure as hell am now! It doesn't make mention of Peter Dinklage though, who was confirmed by the Hollywood reporter as well; he totally knocked my socks off in Prince Caspian and is now one of my favorite actors!

( Second part of NGTV's Wolverine interviews )

Plus, awesome news: both the Deadpool spin-off and a Wolverine sequel, to cover the Japan storyline, have been confirmed over at MTV News! *Does special booty dance!* Now that kicks HUGE-Ackman ass!

So, yesterday, my sister and I went to the movies; we still had some monies left over on our gift certificate and, seriously, she has been bugging me about when Wolverine was going to be released since the trailer leaked from ComicCon last year. She is a Liev Schreiber whore, and also a lesbian; you... figure it out, I've given up! Anyway, we decided to do a night show, which we almost never do, because of convenience and also because we wanted a nice, electrified audience, which you usually don't get at a noon matinee show. Which also meant lots of people which meant a bit of anxiety for me, but once we got our tickets and grabbed our favorite seats (we got there a half an hour in advance; really it's the only way I can go to a movie without a full blown panic attack! ;-P) it was awesome.

Yes, I truly, truly liked Wolverine, much more so than any critic I've read (and sometimes I wonder, from the things they've been saying, if we were even watching the same movie) and most likely more than most of my flist. I like Hugh a lot, he's charming and handsome and though not his biggest fan, I am a die-hard X-Men fan so it was a no brainer. Especially because I am indeed an insane Gambit maniac and a fan of so many of the actors individually. Hugh was fantastic, Lynn Collins was a huge surprise, Dom Monaghan for his very small bit was amazingly touching and beautiful, Will.i.am was funky, Ryan Reynolds is, well, freakin' Ryan Reynolds. And Liev. I have to say, my sister finally converted me. I don't think I'd call it the best performance in the movie because Hugh so owns the role of Wolverine, but the strength he was able to bring, and the depth of character--that's how you do it! That's how you use that kind of material to build a real, complex character. Danny Huston was fantastic, but maybe I expected too much from him and it wasn't a complete home run, though he was still pretty spectacular!

And Taylor. You are Gambit now. which means he exists in the real world and I now want to have his really human babies instead of just little pencil and inked ones! xP

The story was mostly a mix of Origins, which I've yet to read, and some very familiar stuff from Weapon X, which isn't an insult: to be true to its sources is the greatest compliment I can give it. I especially loved how it was actually a direct prequel to particularly X-2: X-Men United, which I haven't heard that many people address.

( Spoilers under the cut )

So, as you could probably tell by now, I liked it. Others have questioned my taste in such matters, feel free to do the same but I'm not apologetic for it. I loved Ghost Rider and the Daredevil director's cut. And Punisher: War Zone. The comic book genre, and especially Marvel adaptations, are my life's love so when one hits all the marks like this did, I will gush. And it's a testament that Wolvie's not exactly my favorite of characters and I still thought the movie held up as a film.

So, I got the Deadpool ending! Anyone get Wolvie in Japan?! ( Cut for spoilers and a very silly anecdote about my sister predicting the Deadpool ending )

Thanks to shawnawitter for this:

Yay, finally, a still from Indiana Jones and The Kingdom of the Crystal Skull! Clicky on the thumbnail to view full:



( And a spoilery-ish observation )

I'm getting tired of reading fans running Shia down: "He's going to ruin the movies!"; "He's an awful actor, he's going to suck the life out of it!"; "Why did they need a popular teeny-bop star in it." Whine, whine, whine. Though the phrase "teeny-bop" is my own and proof that I'm getting really old! ;-P I was excited when Shia was cast; even though I was opposed to the idea of a son at first, I think he's a great actor with loads of charm and if anyone could pull it off and make a fantastic edition to Indy canon, it was him! Now, I understand if people are indifferent or just don't care for him all that much; you always have to allow for personal tastes. But this fuss that he's going to single-handedly kill the movie is absurd.

And some more goodies--Jeffrey Dean Morgan from People's Sexiest Man issue:



That's, um, that's some story he's got! =-O Especially compared to Bradley Cooper's:



Whose story is rather mundane despite the fact he has the most and the most prominent; he just can't compete with JDM's. I don't know if many people could! Ha!
