the half blood, the whole blood, and nothing but the prince

So they released the newest trailer for HP 6 and you can see it here if you scroll down a bit.

We have to say, this looks pretty freakin sweet.

It's too bad we have to wait til the cows come home to see the whole movie. Yup. Summer 2009. TWO THOUSAND NINE, people! I remember bitching about 2002 not getting here soon enough. Yipes, we're old.

"Where are we going, Mommy?"

"We're going on vacation, baby."

"Will we have fun?"

"No, it will be very scary. If we manage to get there alive, we'll be hunted by these mysterious strangers called Others, who kidnapped mommy and Uncle Jack once. Oh, and we'll be terrorized by a Black Smoke Monster and haunted by some scary whispers in the jungle... But there's also a beach! Maybe we'll have time to build a sandcastle before your dead ghostly REAL mommy and grandpa show up to tell us what our destiny is."

Upcoming Flicks we want to see

This Bond movie looks even better than the last.

*whew*

Can't wait for it.

And Australia looks like a movie that was MADE for us. We love the Jackman. We love the Kidman. What? You put them together? And you are letting Jackman speak his native tongue? *SWOON*

The other movie that piques our interest is The Road. No trailers yet, and this is not the happiest of movies, but I'm curious how they will translate one of the best books I've ever read onto the big screen.

Bond Theme Song

Does anyone REALLY like this song? Or think its worthy of being the next Bond theme song? Ok, ok, Bond songs have had some duds in the past....but this?

Ick.

It's too bad Amy Winehouse couldn't get her shit together to have created a way cooler, retro song. She's BORN to write and perform a Bond song, dontcha think? They could have asked Duffy, too. Seeing as Duffy is kinda like a blonde Amy minus the crackwhore look/feel/everything, and a little bit of Motown thrown in for good measure.

Top X-Women (no, this is not a porn blog)

Wow, just figuring out how to type the title to this blog made me feel like a dirty old loser. There's no good way to label this one. It's the women of X-men. X-women? X-men women? The gals of X-men? Hmmm...

Anyway.

The lads over at Marvel have finally given us THEIR opinion on the top women in our favorite comic series. And thank the maker, they finally got most of it RIGHT. I'm not really sure why Dazzler made the list at all, but when we started to see who else should have made this list, we came up with only a few so-so answers. Mainly cuz there aren't enough TRUE mutant women in the X-men universe who have been given their due, and we assume Marvel didn't want to put 'bad guys' (oh no!) on the list. Um, but what about that slut-skank-hobag Emma? Oh yeah, she's REDEEMED Herself. Right. Gotcha. *eyeroll*

1) Lilandra - Yeah, we know. She's not really an X-Man. She's a Royal; high-and-mighty, but cool and calm, even though she has some of the god awfullest outfits ever to grace a comic book. Ok, ok, it's just the helmet, but c'mon. The helmet looks like....oh wait, that's to cover the shape of her *gulp* HAIR. Ouch. She's still a good guy in the noblest sense of the word, and anybody who can hold their own with Charles Xavier is cool with us. Should be on the list? Questionable.

2) Mystique - (wow, excuse all the typos in that link. Sheesh, Marvel, hire some proofreaders, will ya?) Here's a mutant whose popularity has soared thanks to the prominent role she played in the X-Men movies. She's never truly been an X-man, always siding with the bad guys, but she's been around enough to really show she knows how to use her powers and in a few of the alternate universes, they've given her 'good guy' status. Should be on the list? Probably not if we are looking at 'heroes' - she's anything but. Interesting and readable character? Absolutely. Honorable and Noble? Um, not so much. (But did she start a telepathic affair with Jean's husband? No. And THAT one made the list!! Harrrumpfh)

3) Sage -She's fairly a new add to the team (in comicbook-dom that is) and we're not really sure what interesting things she's done recently, but she kicked some ass in her day, and we dig the chicks with the mental powers. And hell, if DAZZLER gets on this list, as well as Jubilee? Then yeah, put Sage on here. Should be on the list? Yes.

4) Magyk/Ilyana Dont' know much about her except her main storyline involving Limbo and Belasco, but maybe she's not as popular as some of the other gals on this list. Honestly, we're not sure if she's even worthy of being 'the best' cuz what if she's a little snot or just a total dork? Wait. Jubilee made the list... Should be on the list? Questionable.

Otherwise, we are THRILLED to see the likes of Storm, Kitty Pryde, Rogue and of course the illustrious Jean Grey atop the list, and all in front of Tramp of the Universe, Emma Frost. And the fact that Jean's blurb doesn't mention Cyke at all, well that's both good and bad. Cyke and Jean were the super couple of the X-Men. Destined to be together for all time, etc, etc. But now, the writers have royally screwed that up and we couldn't agree more with the makers of this list when they say, "Sorely missed by all, fans everywhere long for the day that she will once again rise from the ashes and slap the [expletive] out of Emma Frost, commit to Logan or go her own way. Regardless, she's by far the one X-character, male or female, that can't return fast enough"

Amen to that! Cyke can go live with the slut-skank-hobag who has probably given him every STD in the telepathic way only she can. Yeah, we love to hate her all right. *pukes*
