Singer's statement confirms First Class is an origin film, though it's not clear yet what characters will be included and how closely it will adhere to the continuity of the previous X-Men films, in which Cyclops, Jean Grey, Storm and Beast (the latter going by info from The Last Stand) were among Charles Xavier's earliest students – while characters like Iceman and Angel (who were original members in the comics) joined later.

As you know, my online handle is Optimus Prime. So, not only is it awesome that there's going to be a live-action Transformers movie. But I'm like, positioned, or whatever, to have the best possible net handle and email address for when the movie comes out.

Does that mean Doc Holliday, the famously tubercular doctor from the gunfight at the OK Corrall, is going to take on the undead? Or perhaps sea monsters?

ONE CAN ONLY HOPE.

Brittany Murphy just died.

The 8 Mile actress who also did vocals on Paul Oakenfold's "Faster Kill Pussycat" suffered a cardiac arrest. Her rep just denied rumors of her being fired from a recent movie, saying that the parting was mutual and due to creative differences.
