Why Is The Moon Lonely?

Apart from Pierce Brosnan, Hugh Jackman is the only hairy man to whom I am attracted — and I actually like Jackman better with facial hair than without [his character in The Prestige was just creepy]. So I was immensely excited to see X-Men Origins: Wolverine on Friday, especially after reading about how the film includes a scene of Jackman scampering around butt-naked [I don’t think the guys in the theater really appreciated it, heh].
I enjoyed the movie much more than Watchmen, with which I draw a comparison solely because it’s the only other superhero movie I’ve seen recently; not only am I better acquainted with the comics, Wolverine did not contain the convoluted politics and storyline of the former.
There are a lot of reasons the film appealed to me, but it all comes down to this: I liked Wolverine a lot because it was high action and low drama, and because most of the screen time was devoted to sweaty, muscular men with long legs and bulging biceps [yum!]. And I really like leather jackets.

What what [in the butt]?!?
New casting puts Slumdog Millionaire star Dev Patel in as Prince Zuko in The Last Airbender.
Social implications aside, okay, yay, they cast an Asian in a leading role, but they really could’ve tried a little harder to find someone who resembles the character. Oh wait, they don’t care! This movie is a lost cause. The dude playing Sokka is pretty cute though, to be honest. What are they all going to look like with weird anime hair? Dammit, now I’m curious.

Although Harry Potter’s bath scene in Goblet of Fire made me squeal, I’ve always thought Ron Weasley was the cuter of the two.
The trailer:
And this comment summarizes my thoughts exactly:
I loved the 5th book, but the movie was vastly underwhelming, and experiencing that after the boredom that was the 7th book just killed my inner HP fire.
