I dig it.

I always thought Sawyer from LOST would have been awesome if he were younger.

What y'all think?

I reserve judgement till I see the final product but I'm optimistic he could pull it off and do it fairly well.

I wanna say terrible idea, but I said that about Heath Ledger as the joker too.

So I will wait to pass judgment, but all X-Men flicks have been sub par at best thus far.

I figured you'd be my only response.

Gambit is by far my favorite comic book character.

I like the choice I guess because I can't really think of anyone else.

I wonder if they'll get Belladonna to play Bella Donna? That'd be a sexy good time.

Yeah I am with you... Josh Holloway would be perfect for it. Not exactly sure how I feel about Tatum playing Gambit but, I'll pay to see it anyway

Just saw in an interview where his dad is from Louisiana.

Tatum could do it, and well.

I just want Deadpool, dammit.

Not thrilled although I think Channing is a great actor.

Jack Nicholson was a bad Joker because Joker is skinny and tall where Nicholson is not- at all. He nailed the personality but the build was all wrong.

I think same for Gambit. Channing is big, wide, and kind of a stoic expression all the time where Gambit is tall and thin and animated in his speech.

Gambit was always my favorite X-Men. I don't like Tatum for this role at all, but I guess it's cool that somebody from Cullman will be playing Gambit

Well I thought Chris Evans would be a terrible Captain America and I was dead wrong.

I thought Heath Ledger would be awful as the Joker and I was dead wrong.

I think Tatum will be horrendous as Gambit.

He's from Cullman. I think he can pull off Gambit. He's become a much better actor over the years.

I thought the guy from Friday Night Lights did a good job with Gambit in the first Wolverine movie.
