15 Life Lessons We Learned From 'National Lampoon's Vacation'
Tag Archives: The Wolverine
New 'Wolverine' Trailer Rocks. Finally.
Ever have one of those dreams where you're totally macking on this hot mutant, only then it turns out she's dead, mainly because you killed her with your huge metal claws, and then you wake up and it's all some sort of uncomfortable metaphor?
Man, we hate it when that happens. Except when it happens in the new YouTube trailer for "The Wolverine." Then it's totally awesome. Get More »
Here's Wolverine's Claw Sound Replaced by a Slide Whistle
Here's a video that, if anything, will make you realize just how often Hugh Jackman is forced to make the "I'm menacingly extracting my claws!" movement with his arms during production of every "X-Men" or "Wolverine" movie (in which the "give character large adamantium claws" button on Final Cut is used liberally in post).
That's because our good, clever buddies at FilmDrunk took the new "The Wolverine" trailer and replaced every "SHAWINNNGGG" (copyright "Wayne's World," 1992) sound that is made every time Wolverine's claws come out... with the sound of a slide whistle. And to be completely honest, we can't say it's any better or worse than before, it's just more noticeable. And hilarious. Get More »

2013 Summer Blockbusters Re-Imagined as Indies
Summer movie season is once again upon us, as the likes of "Iron Man 3," "The Wolverine" and "Pacific Rim" are set to blow us through the back wall of the theater with their huge action sequences, top-notch special effects and occasional witty quips.
But blockbusters aren't the only kind of movies at the multiplex this summer; they share space alongside quieter, more critically acclaimed fare. And let's face it — inside every loud, attention-grabbing, big-budget action flick or raucous all-star comedy, there's a sensitive, modest indie just waiting to get out. Right?
With that in mind, we've once again reinvented 10 summer blockbusters as smaller, less explosion-heavy films. After all, it's not such a huge leap to see "Fast & Furious 6" as a twee road trip movie about a non-traditional family or "Man of Steel" as the ultimate tale of an outsider wandering the Earth in search of identity and purpose.

Hot Mutants Looking Hot: New Photo From 'The Wolverine'
Wolverine is the best there is at what he does, but what he does isn't very nice. Unless, of course, you're talking about standing around and looking really buff and enigmatic and broodingly hot. Then in that case, what Wolverine does is actually kind of nice after all.
At least, that was our feeling after getting a peek at the brand new still photo of Hugh Jackman's tortured superhero in "The Wolverine." Get More »
