Very few directors in modern Hollywood can do “quirky” and “indie” quite like Wes Anderson. So what would happen if the colorful man was given free reigns over the next ‘X-Men’ film? All I can say is I would see the heck out of this. [Image via Hollywood Reporter, H/T to SuperPunch]
Being a Mutant Is Never Easy: The Origins of X-Men’s Rogue
Being Rogue from the X-Men seems more like a curse than a blessing. Yes, she can get people’s powers and do some really cool stuff with them, but outside of that, she can never touch anyone. While the best of us geeks can relate to that somewhat, we know it to be a daunting life […]
