LIEV SCHREIBER SHREDS X-VILLIAN SABRETOOTH

All pandemic epidemics aside, I’ve seen the leaked version and I’m still going back to the theater to see Wolverine.  It’s been a laugher seeing Jackman keep the buzz up lamenting the most obviously planned leak by Marvel, but Schreiber’s Sabretooth more than makes up for HJ’s tall tales cuz the real Logan’s shorter than Johnny Mic.

Sabretooth’s awhsum, retahds!

UPDATE: I didn’t get to the theater to see Wolverine. JM is a big fan of the Marvel-Disney merger with an emphasis on inter-generational brand transmission and a revisit to animation (definitely 3D) in the works.

This pic was pulled from Lostpedia (which is pretty devoted if you haven’t been there yet).   It was there that I learned about the Dharmacakra.

Anybody else see Horace at the Phish shows down in VA this past weekend? Rift was a mess!  Reba was awesome! (smack dab in the middle of all 3 nights)

Sawyer’s ‘77 alias LaFleur brings to mind another sci-fi Creole, Remy Lebeau.  Rumors have been flying since 2006 that actor Josh Halloway has been in talks to play Gambit, but it seems that the next X-Men movie is really an X-Teen movie – an iteration of New Mutants called X-men 2010: First Class.  Yay.

Some Gamespot fan did this in Photoshop.  Pretty cool, non?

My new favorite Marvel casting job is Al Pacino as Doctor Strange.

Not even those at NS know where The Wolverine came from.  Seeing as Marvel botched The Dark Phoenix story, I wanna know — is this Wolverine’s real origin or just the crappy movie version?
