Body: I think Julia Stiles is the queen of starring in horrible modern retellings of classic films and novels. O - You beat me to it, but damn, that was one terrible re-imagining of Othello. Hamlet - Another butchering of Shakespeare. Just bad. The Prince & Me - No, no, no, no, no. 10 Things I Hate About You - Ok, so I kinda liked this one, but it's here because it contributed to future butcherings like Another Cinderella Story. The Omen - What could possibly have been improved on the original?

Body: I’m still not crazy about the idea of Liev Shreiber playing Sabretooth (aka Victor Creed) in X-Men Origins: Wolverine. I think of the actor as being more a white-collar kind of guy. And maybe a bit smarter. I know Sabretooth isn’t supposed to be nearly as dumb as he was portrayed (by Tyler Mane) in X-Men, but I think of him as being more animalistic than intelligent — I know it’s probably wrong to think that, and it’s been years since I last read an X-Men comic, but that’s what I’ve always thought. Meanwhile, I expect to see Schreiber wearing a suit and tie (or reciting Shakespeare, or both!). Hooray for typecasting! Anyway, most of you have probably already seen these latest set photos courtesy of Just Jared, but I thought I’d showcase my favorites, which include that one above and this one and this one and this one. I’ll give it to the more knowledgeable fans who will point out that Creed has brains, but did he also have boobs? Surely they should have cast a more fit actor, or had Schreiber get in better shape. And I don’t just mean the obvious issues seen in these pics. Shouldn’t Sabretooth have gigantic shoulders, at least? Originally posted on:SpoutBlog
