You probably already know that X-Men 3's trailer is already out.  Don't worry, my fellow penguins, you can pull it with wget and view it in Mplayer.  You need to view the source of Apple's player page for the trailer, then pull the HREF'd URL tag.  It'll be a short file.  Open it up with 'less' and you'll find the filename you need to pull.

Of course, the X-Men movies have been kinda blank -- enough to pull you in and make you sit through it, not enough to be entertaining.  I forget the plot, but Wikipedia has the synopsis.  Ether way, they were all PG-13 -- a sure sign that if this is sci-fi, it's generally not going to be good*.

Will I see X-Men 3?  Yes.  Will I pay full fare for it?  No.  Will I watch it with T and Phil?  Maybe.  It's comming out June of next year.  I can wait.

(* A common rule with folks who work movie theaters -- good sci-fi is almost always R rated.  The only exceptions that I've experienced is The Lord of the Rings, which is PG-13 and very good series of movies; and The Matrix series, which has a few R movies but only by technicality -- the latter sequils started sucking)
