Parodies strike again!
Sometimes a book gets popular enough to warrant a parody, but after something like 86 printings later, The Da Vinci Code gets three. This latest one will be published in another month or so. (Check out the July 4th blog for the other two earlier ones.) Mitch Albom's latest popular book, The Five People You Meet in Heaven gets only one.

X-Men III
Note: After a little snafu with Tinypic.com, pictures posted on this blog are slowly being reconverted and being posted back online. I am converting older ones little by little. So if you missed the pics from earliert postings, please be patient as they will be back.
Info on X-Men III in theaters 5/26/06
Yep, the third installment of the successful comic book film is on it’s way. Early reports indicate the plot will revolve around the Phoenix saga, going straight to the Dark Phoenix story. Returning characters (other than the standards) will be
Nightcrawler, Colossus (Yes, more of the mighty Commrade in bioarmor!), Iceman, Pyro and Lady Deathstrike. New characters are rumored: Gambit, Beast, Angel, Psylocke, Emma Frost (Hmmm.... Wonder what kind of wardrobe this one would have?), Dazzler, Juggernaut and possibly the Sentinals. Much of this maybe pipe dreams as I’m sure the special effects for numerous characters would be prohibitive. Possibly some will be cameos (like Colussus in X-Men II).
But the casting has commenced and here’s were it stands now:
Cameron Bright (The Butterfly Effect) will portray the mutant Leech. Hmmm... I’m somewhat unfamiliar with this character. I liked Toad better I think..
Cayden Boyd (The Adventures of Sharkboy and Lavagirl in 3D) will be playing a young version of Angel. And I mean young - this kid is only eleven. The older version of Angel will be played by Ben Foster (The Punisher).
Vinnie Jones (Lock Stock and Two Smoking Barrels ) will portray Juggernaut. Who would have thunk Juggernaut would have a British accent?
Actress Ellen Page (in a bunch of movies and TV shows I never heard of) will be Kitty Pride. I heard originally this role was to go to Maggie Grace (TV show Lost) but they may have wanted to go with a younger looking actress.
And lastly, but not least, Beast will be played by none other than Kelsey Grammer. No pic for Kelsey; I think most everybody knows what he looks like...
