Everything Wrong With the X-Men (Movies)
The Wolverine comes out this weekend, and I’ll have a review one of these days. I’m not expecting much, but it’s getting from pretty solid reviews so far, so who knows? Also, I’ve heard that you should stay until after the credits for an awesome extra scene. So be sure and do that.
What I do know is that Cinema Sins is celebrating the upcoming movie by picking out everything wrong with the original trilogy. And it’s brilliant.

X2: X-Men United

I’ll Pretty Much Post Anything in LEGO
The Wolverine comes out this weekend, and to prepare, how about you watch one of the trailers remade entirely in LEGO?
My hat is always off to the brave LEGO animators who put something like this together. It just looks like a ton of fun. If I had any skill whatsoever in anything other than poking my chubby fingers into a keyboard, I would make one myself.
Yep, I’ll Be Buying LEGO Marvel Superheroes the Game
I recently beat LEGO Batman 2 the other day, and it was a load of fun. And then just like real life, LEGO Marvel Superheroes looks even better! Check out this Comic-Con trailer.
I did not know that the Blob was in the game. That is awesome. I am a huge Blob fan, and I definitely intended that pun. You’ll see how much of a Blob fan I am soon (hint, hint). But for now, that game looks fantastic. And big. Clearly it is also big.
Things That Make Me Happy: Action Figures of My Favorite Characters
I’m a pretty big action figure guy. I’ve been that way since I was a kid. They’re one of the purest forms of superhero memorabilia, and I just love collecting them and putting them on display on my Geek Wall…ladies. Anyway, Comic-Con is usually a great place for companies to show off their latest action figures. Comic-Con International was no exception, and I spotted some awesome action figures I’ll want to grab when they go on sale!
Such as Songbird, who recently topped my list for characters who should be Avengers.
She’s big on Twitter
Unfortunately, she’s wearing her crummy new costume, where she looks like some shrill punk rocker. Ugh. Still, Songbird action figure!
Then there’s Boomerang, the star of the new Superior Foes of Spider-Man comic, which I loved.
Boomerangs never go out of style
Fortunately, he’s wearing his awesome new costume! So I’m excited about that. I’ve got to get Boomerang. He’s a must.
And here’s Batroc ze Leaper! He’s going to be appearing in the upcoming Captain America sequel.
The man, the myth, the mustache
Though he probably won’t look quite so ridiculous.

First Look at Nova Costume!
Marvel Studios indisputably confirmed this past weekend that the Nova Corps would be in Guardians of the Galaxy, which means that someone must have read my List of Six about the things I want to see in the movie. Nova Corps was #2 on my list. So I am very, very excited about this confirmation.
For those who don’t know, the Nova Corps are intergalactic space cops. Using the rocket-like power of the Nova Force, they patrol the cosmos ensuring law and order. They’re pretty much a knock-off of the Green Lantern Corps from over at DC Comics, but something tells me Guardians of the Galaxy is going to be a much better movie than Green Lantern. Just a hunch.
Unfortunately, as excited as I am to see the Nova Corps on screen, I am less than thrilled at their costumes. Join me after the jump to see the uniforms in all their glory!
