Gambit Will Be Kitsch-y

So, I talked about Batman, and I guess now I’ll talk about X-Men (which has come up a lot lately for anime fans as well, thanks to not one but TWO X-menverse manga in the works by Del Rey and Marvel).

I just read on Empire that Taylor Kitsch, who you may remember as the boyfriend in Snakes on a Plane who died while he and his girlfriend were mid-entry into the mile high club (okay, fine, he’s also in Friday Night Lights), will be playing my second-favorite X-Men character, Gambit. (My favorite X-Men character is Rogue, and in spite of how relatively decent the first X-Men flick was, I despise how they turned my brass, ballsy southern bitch into…well…Jubilee.)

Also, Taylor Kitsch’s official website is super-emo. The main picture that they use has him in a hoodie looking all dark, which makes me think he either wants to be Eminem, or maybe he wants to be Hayden Christiansen in the Star Wars prequels, I dunno.

In any case, I’m just mildly annoyed that I might actually have to go see this movie now.
