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!

Scotty…beamed up for good…

James Doohan, of Star Trek fame, died today at the age of 85 battling Alzheimer’s disease and pneumonia. He will be missed, of course; the man did Star Trek conventions up until last August, which is crazy considering how old the man was. He was a testament to what Star Trek means to a lot of us fans out there, and to the rest of humanity.

So true…

Dude…I’m telling you…Star Trek rocks…so does Stargate…but not as good at Star Trek

I love my little sister…

Reasons why Lucas sucks and Star Trek is better:
1. One word: “NOOOOOOOOO” ~Darth Vadar (oh my god!)
2. R2D2 and C3PO were the best actors in the damn movies
3. Roddenberry was smart enough to know that computer animated characters look fake
4. Why does Yoda need a walking stick if he can do back flips?
5. He waited for the advanced technology only to use it to screw everything up!
6. At least the “droid” in ST was smart and had a sex life.
7. Props for the light sabers, but everybody still had guns, so why didn’t they just Indiana Jones their jedi asses?
8. Why do people make fun of trekkies so much when Lucas fans camp out in front of theaters for weeks and whore themselves out for tickets aside from wearing rolls on their ears and dressing up like huge dogs?
