Geek Heaven

As a serious comic book fan, I really believe that I am in geek heaven. This holiday weekend I am going to force myself out of the house to hit some movies. I must see X-Men: The Last Stand. I must see Over The Hedge. X-Men looks fun. I'm hearing mixed stuff on it but what little bits I have seen have made the inner fanboy drool. So the Fastball Special isn't 100% accurate. I'll live. I just need to see all the mutants going at it. Interesting twist on the story too. In the original Dark Phoenix saga it was Scott that couldn't kill Jean, now it looks like they're giving Wolverine that role. Over the Hedge just looks funny. If you can't appreciate the irony of William Shatner playing the possum....well.....I just can't explain it to you. And I just saw the international trailer for Superman Returns. Now admittedly I was not totally excited about the new Superman movie. I am now excited. Very excited. Check out these trailer links:

X-Men: The Last Stand
Over the Hedge

Let the inner geek rejoice!!!

Gambit won't be in this one all because of Josh Holloway.

That makes me sad.

Heh....I can't really say I've ever been that excited about Gambit. Although it might have been interesting to see his powers realized on the screen. He's a little more interesting right now as one of Apocalypse' Horsemen....I think he's Death.

Two other cool characters to see, though....Psylocke & Jamie Maddox, the Multiple Man

Yeah. That should be cool.

Yeah, I heard Gambit is now death. That's a little weird but such is the way of the comics. They have to keep being sensational to keep selling, I guess.

I just wanted to see how the whole Rogue story would work if Gambit came into the picture. Plus, it would be incredible to see his powers done in film.
