As for the Wolverine trailer: YAY for the trailer, but man, is it messing with my stress levels. I can't figure out if post-Weapon X Wade is supposed to be the one who has two katanas and leaps in the air and whirls around and generally looks like a badass, or if he's supposed to be the bizarro thing with blades taped to his hands and weird lines on his body and no mouth (HUH?). And the glimpse of someone with weird lines on him SHOOTING LASERS FROM HIS EYES just has me ALL kinds of confused.
On the other hand, the movie is looking a little more promising with this new trailer. I like the slightly conspiracy-ish hints that there's a greater plot going on than just Wolvie tearing around.
Oh, also, can you remind me where your FriehdFeed thing is? I know you linked it recently but I can't fiiiind it. :)
Aw, Mark Strong! I'm so glad he's getting some roles in films I might actually get to see- he was pretty under-appreciated in Stardust, IMO. He's got GREAT villain bone structure.
As we kick-start our coverage of the march to 'New Moon'
Sigh. Just when poor Robert seemed to have regained the will to live. Now it's right back into the whiskey bottle every morning, trying to remember a time when 14 year olds didn't stalk him and terrifying mothers didn't want him to bite them.
Meanwhile I'm delighted by the Wolverine and Public Enemies trailers. I spent half an hour tracking down the song in the Public Enemies trailer. And Gambit's eyes are red! Huzzah!

I'm afraid I can only reply with a question of my own--what is the difference between Ms and Miss, or rather, is the difference so significant that someone would be OK with being a Miss, but actively NOT want to be a Ms?
I think I recall someone telling me that "Miss" is usually used for younger (unmarried) girls/children, and that Ms would be more appropriate for a older girl/professional woman/married woman who doesn't want to be a "Mrs", but this confuses me so.

Thanks for the clarification! :)
I knew the bit about "Mrs", but was really unclear about the Miss/Ms issue. Still can't quite understand why someone would actively refuse to be addressed as "Ms" (unless they really are the "Mrs" type, if this make any sense at all), but to each their own, I suppose...?
Mark Strong was also the single best thing about Body of Lies, so I approve of anything that'll give him some very overdue appreciation.
Re: Ben Barnes going from Dorian Gray to Hamlet: Wonder if people will take a breath before they go on bitching that he's STILL NOT A BLOND. Perhaps they'll at least stop rambling on about how he's not good-looking enough...?
I can see how he wouldn't be everyone's style, but the boy is bloody gorgeous. And I stood two feet away from him once (whee!), so I am actually sure of what I'm saying.
I could get it when people complained that Dorian Gray should be blond, what with the classical beauty and all (though I personally think the point about beauty is much clearer if the actor is beautiful, regardless of hair colour, than if he's simply blond). Suggesting Mr Barnes doesn't have the closest I've ever seen to perfect facial structure, however, makes my mind boggle.
