Sentinels!!! Only diehard X-geeks will care, but Hugh Jackman was on the Tonight Show promoting the new X-Men movie last evening, and the clip they showed featured Wolvie and Colossus doing a Fastball Special and decapitating a SENTINEL!!! 
There's apparently a lot to be fearful about with regard to the upcoming movie, but there may be a few shining moments, apparently.  Ὅσον ζῇς φαίνου

my hopes for the movie just shot way the hell up! LOVE the fastball and sentinels... holy fuck, that will rock! Power tends to corrupt; absolute power corrupts absolutely. - Lord Acton | |

I never understood the appeal of Sentinels.
They were clumsy, far too large and culled from the cover artwork from Queen's "News Of The World". . "You don't frighten us, English pig dogs. Go and boil your bottoms, sons of a silly person." | |

I'm so STOKED to see Colossus!!! Piotr is prob my fave x-man. If the plot and everything else is going to be questionable like they say, then I'm hoping the action can hold the movie together. I was skeptical about Frasier playing Beast, but I think he is actually going to pull it off. I hope they show him getting busy in a fight like Beast can and not just use him as the intellectual genius in the lab. | |

Both Professor X and Magneto are due to be killed off.
I'm not looking forward to this cop out. . "You don't frighten us, English pig dogs. Go and boil your bottoms, sons of a silly person." | |

Beast, I understand, is rumored to have two: one awesome introduction not unlike Nightcrawler's White House in X2, and another in the third act, which will feature him kicking much butt in a HUGE X-Men/Mutant Brotherhood/U.S. government showdown!

That has always been part of the original storyline. However, I remain concerned that those who have seen the script for X3 have acknowleged the impending demise of both Professor X and Magneto early in the film. Moreover, a recent interview with Sir Ian McKellen in EMPIRE does not give me much hope of a stay of execution for Magneto. . "You don't frighten us, English pig dogs.

Will Storm finally have a good part? Not that I care, but these movies are doing nothing for Halle Berry. | |

On this occasion Storm is intended as the love interest for Wolverine... . "You don't frighten us, English pig dogs. Go and boil your bottoms, sons of a silly person." | |

What happened to the thing with Jean Grey/Phoenix? Well, actually, according to early script reviews, it's merely that Storm has a unrequited crush on Logan. Logan, in turn, still has a thing for Jean. And the trailer shows them at some point in this movie sharing a rather passionate kiss and embrace. [Edited 4/30/06 8:15am] Ὅσον ζῇς φαίνου

20th Century should have pushed this back until Singer was done with Superman. I have ZERO faith in Ratner directing a superhero film. I hope I'm wrong, but I smell another F4. |

You're not wrong. Ratner is the patron saint for lost causes. . "You don't frighten us, English pig dogs. Go and boil your bottoms, sons of a silly person." | |
