we have an eclectic mix at work. todays a quickie post, because im a bit rushed. one…a new x-men 3 director has supposedly been chosen. aicn (via ign) reports that matthew vaughn, the british director of layer cake, has been tapped to replace the ditch-ninja bryan singer. ive never seen layer cake, but it did win a couple british movie awards. so i guess that means it cant be shit…right.
007
two new james bond replacements have been cited by aicn today…julian mcmahon (nip/tuck and fantastic four) and daniel crag (of layer cake incidentally). ones smoothy-smooth, and the others a hard-ass…coo. still not too familiar with either, but hey, could be a good thing to get a relatively fresh face for the role.
STAR WARS SPOILERS
thanks to tg…a large cache of straight-up spoilers from revenge of the sith. they include numerous descriptions of key scenes from the movie, including anakins duel with count dooku. dont worry about the link, you can just click over and view the pretty pics. the spoilers are marked out, so you wont see anything you dont want to see.
CONSTANTINE VS HELLBLAZER
last but not least, ign has some disposable fun pitting constantine vs. hellblazer. the noob american keanu reeves vs. the old-school cocky british sting look-alike. keanu puts up a good fight and takes a couple rounds, but in the end is no match for the original hellblazing constantine.

looking forward to X3 now, i forget why i didnt download it, but Layer Cake got good reviews as a straight up gangster grit.Oh and despite some of the shortcoming vs. the original constantine, the movie was sweeeeet.
I love Bond, but isn’t the director the same guy who directed Golden Eye – that sucked, the only decent Pierce Bond movie was Tomorrow Never Dies. They should have Tarantino do it.
huh…thats odd. its been tradition that no director ever directs more than one bond movie. now theyre breaking that tradition…*shrug*. i have to admit tho, goldeneye did have xenia onatopp, and that was always a thumbs up in my book.
