    Destiny was released this week and while I am sure I am not the only one enjoying his (or her) time with it, I have this huge box sitting at my feet that is loaded with goodies. Let’s take a quick look at what is inside the Destiny Ghost Edition through my extremely professional photography.

    I am available for weddings, quinceaneras and bar mitzvahs.

  • First Trailer For X-Men: Days Of Future Past

    poster-trio

    Bryan Singer is returning to the X-Men franchise in a big way with next year’s X-Men: Days of Future Past. The movie takes from Chris Claremont’s classic time travelling story from 1980. In this version it appears Logan is the one doing the time travelling instead of Kitty Pryde. He is sent back to the 70’s by Professor X to convince his disenchanted past self of the threat of Bolivar Trask and the Sentinel army that is being created to wipe out all mutants.

    The trailer is a who’s who of characters that have been in previous X-Men movies including new ones like Bishop (FTW). We also get to see Peter Dinklage as the caterpillar mustached Trask. Sadly, there is no Sentinel sighting or Evan Peters as Quicksilver but you don’t want to give away all the goodies on the first trailer.

    To put it mildly, this trailer is already better than X-Men 3.

    X-Men: Days of Future Past releases on May 23, 2014.

  • Knights Of Badassdom Has Peter Dinklage LARPing. You Will Watch This Movie.

    Knights of Badassdom has been completed for two years. I am guessing that it was looking like straight-to-home fare, but now that Peter Dinklage is a household name with Game of Thrones, it is looking like there is money to be made. The thing about KOB is that the cast is actually pretty damn good with Dinklage, Steve Zahn, Summer Glau and Danny Pudi.

    Check out the trailer. I got a few chuckles out of it and any time Summer Glau is on screen it is medically proven to add four minutes of life to any man.

  • Peter Dinklage Cast In X-Men: Days Of Future’s Past (UPDATED)

    Sundance 2011 Moving Pictures Media Studio

    So as if I wasn’t already excited enough for Bryan Singer’s return to the X-Men franchise, today brings this bit of information. Singer has brought on Game of Thrones star Peter Dinklage for a role in X-Men:First Class. Rumors abound that he will play Puck, a member of the Alpha Flight team. For those unfamiliar, Alpha Flight is Canada’s version of The Avengers which included member like Northstar and Sasquatch.

    Of course these are all just rumors and there are any number of characters that Dinklage could be in line to play. If the Puck rumor does pan out it would certainly seem like Mark Millar is hard at work in his new job to try and expand 20th Century Fox’s Marvel universe.

    X-Men: Days of Future’s Past releases on July 18, 2014 and stars Michael Fassbender, James McAvoy, Ian McKellan, Patrick Stewart, Jennifer Lawrence and Peter effing Dinklage.

    UPDATE!!!

    Reports are now confirming that Dinklage is being cast to play a villain in the First Class sequel, so the dreams of Puck fans everywhere may be thwarted. Sorry Canada.
