Peter David writes in crayon?? 
(He's writing the Dark of the Moon novel) which makes me at least interested in it.

^ That's almost certainly giving it a dignity it doesn't deserve.

Yeah, I mean what with it being a movie for a franchise which pretty much only exists to sell toys
I guess the only thing I have to look forward to other than the film it's self is Marvel's X-Men: First to Last where the current roster will meet the original team.
Obviously Hasbro is going to sell toys on the movie and always will, most likely, have TF's on the shelf in some form.Yeah, I mean what with it being a movie for a franchise which pretty much only exists to sell toys
However, the franchise has grown. To the point where one could argue the success of the brand is what made the live action movies viable in the first place.
The 80's cartoon DID INDEED(like all 80's properties) exist to ONLY sell toys. Then in the 90's the toys and a cartoon seemed to NEED to coexist. The universe expanding into separate ongoing comics and a few novels where no corresponding toy line existed.
The success of the live action movies could be viewed as the pinnacle of the brand moving beyond being JUST a tool to sell toys. It's now as ingrained in the mass conscience as much as Superman, Batman, Spiderman, Zorro, or Sherlock Holmes. And let's face it Schuster, Kane and Doyle didn't set out to create legacy characters that endured generations they were putting food on the table. Their characters took on a life of their own, like Transformers has now done.
Hasbro and Discovery just combined to make the Hub network. I am totally loving the old Batman and GI Joe airings late at night. I wonder if they will do some sort of sponsorship and promo airings for X-Men or get the toys rolling?
Demotion, that horse story is making the rounds indeed! I've read a lot of Jane Eyre reviews that have both complained Fassbender as Rochester is too dreamy, but he was so dang good in the movie at the same time. Did you see these scandalous Shame photos? I don't wonder how often these kinds of things are a set up. Did Mia really want to talk about the horse getting an erection or her character? Everyone is sshh nudge nudge wink wink over Prometheus, too. He's just naughty enough to go along with it.
Oh, impatience!

^ I'm surprised you don't have the Fass as your avatar pic.
^ But I can't give up my devotion to Bean! Especially Bean as Sharpe. I haven't finished reading all of those yet! But I do have a lot of Fassbender avatars that I made for others, and I use a few elsewhere. Let's have a Before They Were X-Men Avatar Contest to pass the time!
Here are the Charles/ Eric posters as they'll appear in the UK - subtly different from the versions we've already seen

Still no commas!
Here's a newer interview with some of the same old, but some new talk and X-Men bits. A lot of these interviews seem to have been done all on one day in February for Jane Eyre, and the various sites just copy or trickle them out as they see fit.

Months of preparation and hours messing with PAINT bring us two posters soon to be at theaters
Yep. Saw those on the facebook page...I'm waiting for other character posters and yes I realize this film is focused on Xavier and Magneto and thus the marketing is gonna be pushed that way.
Do you guys know if Stewart or McKellin have any part of these films? Their images/ siloughettes are being used a lot in the marketing.
They will not be in the film as far as anyone knows.

Are these real? Please tell me nobody got paid to make these.
Yes, they're real and yes they suck.
Unless these are the gargantuan premiere banners that hang on the side of the theater and can be seen from 5 miles away, please tell me something else is going to be forthcoming.
Goodness, touch up the original leak picture and put the X logo in the middle. The end. Can I get paid, too?
I can make a better X-Men poster avatar contest, anyone?
Stelios' ugly beautiful death poster was better.

You would have thought the marketing division or whatever would have learned from the cast photo that were released. These are just laughable. I hope they're are going to be more and for different characters too.
