Halle Berry Likes Kinky Mutant SeX

11:42 AM, Filed under: Home \ Movies \ X-Men

I don't know what it is about those X-Men girls, but they are a kinky bunch. First we heard about how Rebecca Romijn is into public sex and domination, and now there's news about Halle Berry, and her costume fetish. Sky Showbiz reports that Halle had a thing for bringing her X-Men costume into the bedroom to spice things up.

The saucy minx revealed to US chat show host Conan O'Brien that her tight, rubber X-Men costume works quite well in the bedroom.

"Yeah, I wear it sometimes. You gotta keep your life spiced up.

"Storm never has sex in the movies - but Storm has a lotta sex at my house."

And the lucky chap who gets to partake?

Halle's model boyfriend, Gabriel Aubry - they've been dating since meeting on a Versace shoot in November 2005.

Okay, they couldn't have written a scene like that for Halle in the movie? No, we had to sit through all her boring monologues, and ridiculous spinning around. That's not fair. Nope, not fair at all. Still, that's one fantasy comic nerds can drool to.

X-Men 3: The Last Stand - Egotastic! Approved!

02:40 AM, Filed under: Home \ Movies \ X-Men

Well, I just got back from the 12:01 am screening of X-Men 3: The Last Stand. No, my Elite Blogger status did not grant me access to any special sneak peeks, but my Elite Nerd status made sure I was waiting in line 3 hours before the show started.

So, was it good? Well, if you are a fan of the first two X-Men movies, you have nothing to fear going into this one. Yes, it's true, in the case of X-Men fans vs. Brett Ratner, the director aquitted himself nicely. It could be the post-movie adrenaline talking here, or the caffeine from that 1.5 litre Coca-Cola, but I might even go so far as to say it's better than the others. Yes, I really did just say that.

The action was great, but there was still a lot of the character development, and pacing that made the first two movies what they were. Story-wise, this movie takes a lot of chances, and they pay off, big time. Sure, there were a few cheesey lines, but they were few and far between, and the best characters are still the best characters.

Hugh Jackman as Wolverine was as good as ever, Ian McKellen once again kicks ass as Magneto, and no one can replace Patrick Stewart as Professor Charles Xavier. Even Halle Berry as Storm finally got her moment to shine, though the lameness of the character was hard to overcome, so it's not really her fault, though, she could have tried to bring a little more life to it. New characters like Kitty Pryde played by Ellen Page, Juggernaut played by Vinnie Jones, and, of course, Kelsey Grammer as Dr. Hank McCoy (aka Beast) were great additions that added new life to the series. There were also a ton of secondary mutant characters that were pretty cool too.

I'm not going to spoil any plot points for you, but I will say this: Stay till the end. Stay past the end. After the credits there's an extra scene that you don't want to miss. Trust me.

Of course, it wouldn't be Egotastic! if we didn't have a ton of pictures of sexy stars, so here's Halle Berry, Rebecca Romijn and the rest of the cast at the X-Men premiere in Cannes. And check out Shawn Ashmore (Bobby Drake aka Ice Man) totally scoping out Halle Berry's cleavage in the first pic. That's classic. Way, way more pictures after the jump.

X-Men 3: The Last Stand Trailer

01:15 AM, Filed under: Home \ Movies \ X-Men

Um... Wow? So I think the new trailer for X-Men 3: The Last Stand was really pretty good. I mean, the action looks cool. The story seems intense (though borrowing heavily from Joss Whedon's Astonishing X-Men). And they pretty much threw in every mutant character ever in the series, but there's just something missing. It's hard to pin-point, but I'd say it's that little bit extra that just makes you jump up and down with anticipation. I guess it just didn't pass the fanboy test.

I think it all boils down to the Ranter Factor. I must say, however, Kelsey Grammer as Beast looks amazing, and I'm fairly stoked to see Angel, too.

But, decide for yourself.

X-Men 3 Teaser Trailer

09:56 PM, Filed under: Home \ Movies \ X-Men

Well, so far so good. With the release of the X-Men 3 promo pictures earlier, and now the teaser trailer, I have to say, Brett Ratner may not be a complete fuck-up. But anyone can cut a good trailer. I'm not dissapointed yet, but I am holding back on my enthusiasm for the time-being. Who knows. I'd rather be pleasantly surprised, than completely let down. Marvel is doing the smart thing by lowering everyone's expectations.

Wow! I think I may not completely hate Brett Ratner after all. At least for now. We'll see whether or not he actually screws up X-Men 3 in the end, but for now, these first images from the film have given my inner fanboy a little piece of mind. Above is Kelsey Grammer in full Beast make-up, and below are Ben Foster as Angel, Halle Berry as Storm (with a new short haircut), and of course, Hugh Jackman as Wolverine. USA Today has the full article.

Does anyone else think that Beast looks a bit like Bono?

Bryan Singer on Superman, X-Men, and Star Trek

12:12 AM, Filed under: Home \ Movies \ X-Men

In my opinion, Bryan Singer really is one of the best directors of this generation. Even though he hasn't directed vey many films, many of those he has have become instant classics (namely "The Usual Suspects," and the "X-Men" films). So when it was announced long ago that he would be directing Superman Returns, I was exstatic. The next Superman movie is really going to need the best possible director for the job. But how cool would it be to have Singer direct the next Star Trek film!? Is it possible? Watch this video provided by IESB and find out.

X-Men 3 Set Report: Beast Sighting

03:30 AM, Filed under: Home \ Movies \ X-Men

Superhero Hype has a first-hand report from the Victoria, BC (that's in Canada, by the way) set of X-Men 3. The kicker in this piece is the discription of Kelsey Grammar as The Beast in full makeup.

I also had the luck of literally walking into Kelsey Grammer with his Beast head on, T-Shirt and shorts... I was going up the driveway to my car and he was coming down to the castle... The Beast is awwwwwesome!... I didn't recognize him because I was so astonished with the face... I told him he was "looking good" and then recognized his voice when he said thanks. The face is jet black and huge and builds up on his squarish features. Just at the side the skin turns a deep blue with a solid line running down the side so his ears are blue and his neck and shoulders. The hair is a different blue and looks like he put his finger in an electric socket. No one will be disappointed!

That sounds encouraging.

X-Men 3 Teaser Poster and Contest

The first image of X-Men 3 has been released in the form of a teaser poster (below). It looks pretty cool, but somehow, I'm still nervous.

If you're in Canada, however, you have the chance to win a walk-on part in the new X-Men movie, thanks to Much Music. Of course, if you live in Quebec, as do I, your shit out of luck. Bastards.

X-Men 3 Script Leaked

04:02 PM, Filed under: Home \ Movies \ X-Men

The script for X-Men 3 has been leaked onto the internet, and all signs point to crap. I haven't read it, because I don't like spoilers, but if you want to see what everyone is worried about, Ain't It Cool News, has the script review for you.

Film Rotation has a summary of what's in the script.

Jackman Producing "Wolverine"

03:24 AM, Filed under: Home \ Movies \ X-Men

You can call this the biggest no-brainer spin-off of all time. It has been officially announced that Hugh Jackman will be reprising his role of the Wolverine, and he will also be a producer on the film of the same name. I think the Wolverine movie has a lot of promise, since the character's back-story is one of the most intriguing in comic book history, and because Wolverine is one of the only X-Men characters that can carry an entire film. Let's just hope that Brett Ratner won't be directing that one too.

Here's what Jackman had to say about the X-Men 3, and the new Wolverine spin-off:

"It got to be a roller-coaster ride there, but I wasn't worried because the script is so strong," Jackman said. "Matthew had his reasons but helped make the movie better before he left. Brett has come in with a lot of enthusiasm and full understanding of the franchise. It has been a real learning curve, as has been putting together the script on 'Wolverine.' That project is a good start for me as producer, because I have intimate knowledge of the character."

I think the X-Men franchise would do well to end after the upcoming third film. It's highly unlikely that the entire cast will return, and new actors will be a fairly big adjustment. I say the next spin-off should be about a young Charles Xavier and Magneto, and how they became enemies. That would rock.
