Ladies and gentlemen, we are now seeing the beginnings of another stage of human evolution.

If I had a fairy godmother, I would have to insist she make me an X-Men mutant. It would simply be awesome. I have constant internal battles over which one I'd like to be (It varies between Archangel, Jean Grey, Mystique, or her son Nightcrawler), or I could even be a brand new mutant! I watch the movies and develop this bitter rage, fervently envious of these powers and contemplating the badass things I could do with such mutant skills. Being said, no matter how overdone and god-awful comic book movies are becoming, I promise you I will see all, any, and every X-Men or X-Men related film....so when I saw those claws and that epic head of hair up on the big screen, I knew it was time: WOLVERINE. If I did happen to magically transform into Jean Grey, Wolverine would definately be one of the top perks. This man is a BEAST. Self-healing, anti-authority, and mysterious, Wolverine really has quite a good deal going for him.

Today I made discovery thanks to a Miss Kirby Lodin...WOLVERINE has been leaked a month before it's release date. Though tempting to watch, I will hold out till the actual release for the full effect. I've heard rumors of some feuds involving lawsuits and Watchmen, but one can never be certain. I find this upsetting simply because it just seems completely unfair for all those involved in producing this movie and having it spoiled for them. Maybe it's some twisted April Fool's joke, or it could also be a clever publicity stunt, who am I to say? Whatever it is, what truly matters in life remains constant: I still REALLY want to be a mutant, Hugh Jackman owns, and the internet is filled with such wholesome activities.

(Side note also in film: I saw Persopolis tonight, and I was really pleasantly surprised. Definately a worthwhile see both visually and plot-wise. Quite eye-opening and I learned quite a deal about Iran I hadn't realized. Marjane Satrapi co-directed the movie based off the autobiographical graphic novel. Her ability to educate on such dark subjects, yet still amuse her audience is quite admirable and successful. I also watched a good part of Antonio Gaudi, a film by Japanese director Hiroshi Teshigahara. Though virtually free of all commentary, I don't think I've ever seen a film use music and image together so impecably. The shots were beautiful, the mood leaned toward eerie, and it really proved a picture, paired with flawlessly chosen music, really does say a thousand words.)
