Casting news about Matthew Vaughn's X-Men: First Class has been trickling out bit by bit for a while now, with various actors attached to the project and then just as quickly unattached. Aaron Johnson was rumored to play Cyclops for a while, but that didn't pan out, and then Alice Eve was rumored to play Emma Frost, the telepathic White Queen, but now she's been replaced... by January Jones. While we aren't sure the Mad Men star can channel Emma's wicked sense of humor, she certainly nails the character's regal bearing and icy demeanor every week as Betty Draper. Which got us thinking -- rather than casting the X-Men one actor at a time, why not cast the whole team in one whole swoop, using the talented cast of Mad Men? After all, the characters of Mad Men are all larger-than-life, wear snappy outfits and, like the X-Men, they first appeared in the early 1960s. Here's what we'd like to see.

The Last Song? More like The Last Straw, am I right? Seriously, though, I don't think this movie was meant for people like me to watch, unless we're looking for stuff to talk about in chat rooms. Ditto Furry Vengeance, although probably different chat rooms.

It's clear by now that Scott Pilgrim vs. the World (a movie based on a comic book series that is inspired by video games and now has its own video game) is a typical nerd's wet dream. I wouldn't be exaggerating by saying that for some people, it's become a means of coping with the fact that there's about another 11 months until the next San Diego Comic-Con. One geektastic aspect of the movie is the obvious (and some not-so-obvious) references to video games, particularly some of our favorite classic 8-bit, pixilated and side-scrolling games of the '90s. In celebration of our nostalgia, here's some of our favorite gaming moments from the film.

At this past weekend's Star Wars Celebration V convention, George Lucas unveiled a deleted scene that will only be available on the Return of the Jedi Blu-Ray collection, and it's... not very exciting. Darth Vader says Luke's name a bunch of times, and Luke builds a lightsaber in a cave. While, admittedly, that would have been pretty bad-ass at the beginning of the movie had it been included originally, now its just sort of "meh." Tell us something we don't know, George! Specifically, these are some examples of revelatory scenes that might have added something to our enjoyment of the film and made us pony up for yet another version of the sextology

"It's a man's world, but it don't mean nothing without a woman or a nerd." I'm paraphrasing James Brown, but the men were certainly on top this weekend as approximately 500 biceps rippled across theater screens to the tune of $35 million, putting The Expendables at the top of the box-office, over Julia Roberts' return to form Eat Pray Love and Edgar Wright's hardcore geekfest Scott Pilgrim vs. the World. Looks like that call to arms worked, huh? This means there will now almost definitely be an Expendables 2, which director/star Sylvester Stallone wants to shake up the cast for. (If Mr. Stallone is looking for some casting ideas, we've raided our VHS libraries to come up with a few suggestions.)

It's almost impossible not be disappointed by the experience of actually watching The Expendables. It just promises too much! It's the Snakes on a Plane of South American dictators' castles being blown to hell by everybody's childhood favorites and six tons of C-4, you know? But I still enjoyed it, even if didn't melt my face off in exactly the ways I wanted it to.

Eat Pray Love is a movie based on a very popular memoir by Elizabeth Gilbert that I have never read for two simple reasons: it sounded awful, and the only people I know who unironically enjoyed it are Oprah (whom I don't know personally) and women who also enjoyed In Her Shoes and The Time Traveler's Wife. Naturally, I avoided it like the plague. So imagine my delight when I had to sit down and watch the movie version of it. Just one question -- is the woman this awful in the book? Because this character was excruciating enough to watch for over two hours, I can't even imagine what reading an entire book about her would be like.

When you look forward to a movie as much as I have been looking forward to Scott Pilgrim, you generally set yourself up to be disappointed. It doesn't always happen, of course -- Iron Man didn't disappoint me, although Watchmen did -- but I hoped that not reading the books would manage to keep my expectations in check. That's right, I'm not a raging Bryan Lee O'Malley fan, just an Edgar Wright fan. The director's last two films, Shaun of the Dead and Hot Fuzz are at the top of my Favorite Films of All Time list, so nothing could keep me away from another of his brilliant blends of comedy, action, pop-culture references and killer music.

Eat Pray Love may be an excruciating-looking movie (I have to see it tonight; please feel sorry for me), but what I do like about it is its concise yet descriptive three-word title. More movies should employ this. Specifically, more Julia Roberts movies should employ this, so I've gone back through her most famous films and renamed them with three short phrases that really reflect the movies' most vital components.

By now, it seems everyone in the world must know the plot of Scott Pilgrim vs. the World: in order to date the girl of his dreams, Scott must engage in physical combat with her seven evil exes. What follows is a tournament-style series of battles, as the exes become more powerful, and Scott has to use more advanced fighting techniques -- swords, bass guitars, amplifiers, etc. -- to defeat them. And while the video game references and supernatural aspects transform the film into something else entirely, at its heart it's still a fight movie, which automatically makes us think about all the great fight movies we've seen over the years. Here are some of the awesomest ones that give Scott Pilgrim a run for its money.
