Bryan Singer is video blogging (vlogging?) the filming of Superman Returns at bluetights.net.

“Issue” #22 includes film of his visit to the San Diego ComicCon and a piece of the 20 minutes of film he showed during his presentation.

“Issue” #23 includes a shot from behind of Mr. Spacey dressed as Lex Luthor (dressed as Dr. Evil?)

I feel giddy, Oh so giddy. I feel geeky and breezy and gay!!!

Oh my Stars and Garters

Heard on the Internets last night that Kelsey Grammar is cast as the blue-furred Beast in X-Men 3. Personally, I like the choice since Beast is extremely erudite, kind of effete and upper-crust sounding. In fact, I won’t be able to read the books without hearing Grammar’s voice now. I just hope that they CGI the Beast. Otherwise it could look like this (scroll down to Courtney Cox-Zuckner’s post.

James Joyner has a good post over at Outside the Beltway.

Quick Sith Review

This was my emailed review of Revenge of the Sith. Thought I should post it here since with the box office gross this weekend, no one who wants to see it hasn’t seen it. Not that this is spoiler-ridden, but I don’t want anyone to say there was no warning.

I liked it. I really liked it.

Hated Anakin + Padme together.

Liked them apart.

Loved Obi-Wan Everywhere.

Yoda is Da Man.

Emperor is a bad bad dude.

Needs more Vader.*

Chewy!!!!

In all, certainly didn’t suck

*I think this applies to nearly everything

He likes it! He really Likes it!!!

Kevin Smith (that lucky geek-god bastard) got to see Episode III before everybody else. He posted a spoiler-laden review.

My favorite quote is the starter (and least spoiler-revealing):

“‘Revenge of the Sith’ is, quite simply, fucking awesome. This is the ‘Star Wars’ prequel the haters have been bitching for since ‘Menace’ came out, and if they don’t cop to that when they finally see it, they’re lying. As dark as ‘Empire’ was, this movie goes a thousand times darker – from the triggering of Order 66 (which has all the Shock Troopers [Redacted for Spoiler -ed.]), to the jaw-dropping [Redacted for Spoiler -ed.] fight on [Redacted for Spoiler -ed.] (where – [Redacted for Spoiler -ed.]), this flick is so satisfyingly tragic, you’ll think you’re watching ‘Othello’ or ‘Hamlet.’”

I chopped a lot, I know, but I don’t want to be that asshole that gives everything away secondhand. It’s one thing to be the asshole who sees the movie first and spoils by mistake, but I don’t want to be that guy.
