Chad Vader: Sith Day-Shift Manager

Chad Vader (Darth Vader’s under-achieving brother) is the day shift manager at a local grocery store. He uses his Sith powers to help him deal with his employees, and his arch-nemesis, Clint, the night manager.

“Clarissa, I noticed your shift ends at six o’clock tonight. I would like you to meet me at Keno’s pizzaria facility to, um, discuss some plans I have for a more powerful laser checkout system… And for dinner.”

X-Men 3

In a brilliant casting decision, Kelsey Grammer has been announced as playing Dr. Hank McCoy a.k.a. the Beast in X-Men 3. Some guy named Vinnie Jones is playing the Juggernaut. Talks are underway to sign Maggie Grace (from Lost) to play Kitty Pride, and Angel will be a big part of the movie, but no names have been announced.

Look! Up in the sky!

It may be a piece of crap!

I like Bryan Singer. I loved both X-Men movies. I love “House”. I love THE USUAL SUSPECTS. I believe in Bryan Singer. When he says that he wants to make a Superman movie that picks up after SUPERMAN II, I breathe a sigh of relief. When I see pictures of Brandon Routh as Clark Kent, I’m thrilled.

Then comes this first publicity still of Routh as Superman. I just don’t know. Yes, it’s just a picture, but compare it to the first picture of Tobey Maguire as Spider-Man (Holy cow! I can’t find that picture to link to it. But it kicked @$$).

And, for heaven’s sake, Routh has brown eyes! They’re supposed to be blue. Unforgivable! ;-)

On a more serious note about the movie, Singer says SUPERMAN RETURNS is the story of Superman returning after taking about six years off, following the events of SUPERMAN II. I have two big problems with this.

One, it’s a never-ending battle. Six years is a REALLY long time.

Secondly, the last thing Superman says to the President in that movie, to the best of my memory, is, “I’m sorry I let you down. It won’t happen again.” So, of course, he takes six $#^$@@ years off???!!!!

I understand people’s concerns about HHG, but this seems to have the potential to be much, much farther off target.
