5/26/06 will be good…

…’cause that’s when “X-Men 3” will be released… USA Today has an article about it out today… It’s looking like the switch from Bryan Singer (“X-Men 1 and 2;” “Usual Suspects”) to Brett Ratner (“Red Dragon;” “Rush Hour 2”) won’t be as bad as it could have been…

But, damn if Kelsey Grammer doesn’t look tight as the Beast…I was a bit worried about that one…that, and they got Halle Berry to play Storm again, even though it was thought she wouldn’t return (…as she has an Oscar now and doesn’t really need to do superhero movies…).

…and on a semi-related note, Bryan Singer is all about doing a “Star Trek” movie in the future…w00t!
