kyburgThe first X-3 trailer is up - and it's good!
I'm not a comic book geek - you'd have to go to Jim for that. The rampant silliness and sheer WTF never fails to lose me. Fantastic Four? No blame on the guys who made the movie - that franchise is just too silly for anything other than the paper it was printed on. Too. Damn. Silly.
(This is from someone who snuck off to watch Speed Racer when she was 13 because it was too embarassing to do in front of other people. Too. Damn. Silly. Doesn't mean I didn't love it.)
However. The X-Men movies have been nothing but Good. Seriously. You do have to drop a few brain hinges to get your headspace in there, but it doesn't take as much work as say, Weiss Kreuz or Sneakers, and you're well rewarded for leaving your rational mind waiting in the car until the movie's over.
Heh. Kelsey Grammer as the Beast. And Patrick Stewart. Just cos'. Mmm.

But I'm with you on the Patrick Stewart thing. I mean, homey don't schwing that way, but if I did.... *guh*... and besides, he's Shakespearean, he's *supposed* to be that good. :)
