FAN-MADE TRAILER FOR X-MEN ORIGINS: MAGNETO

YouTube user silverlightsaber created his own trailer for the upcoming movie, X-Men Origins: Magneto.

"THIS IS A NON-PROFIT VIDEO MADE PURELY FOR FUN This is a movie that I'm curious to see get made. Magneto is arguably the most interesting character in the X-Men universe and would make an awesome stand-alone movie (if done right). I want to see the early history of Magneto in the Nazi internment camps, to meeting Xavier, to ultimately declaring war on humanity. Here's a concept video of what I'd like to see."

And I agree. The concentration camp scene was the best part of the first X-Men movie. Here's hoping the official trailer for the film will look as good as this one.

JUST LISTEN REWIND: DAVID GRAY

David Gray released his eighth album, Draw the Line, in September of this year. Recorded in his own studio, the album includes eleven new songs. Annie Lennox joins him in a duet, "Full Steam." "Kathleen" is the second duet on the album, featuring Jolie Holland. Gray wanted Dolly Parton for the song but she turned down the offer. The new CD is an extrospective portrait of an artist and his vision of the world. Adjectives like "warm," "fresh," and "organic" have been used to describe the album but Gray describes it as throwing away all the old formulas and striving more - more heart, soul and feeling.

"I'd been very introspective for whatever reason. Partly success, partly things that happened in my life around the time of White Ladder. I guess as a singer-songwriter you're gonna have a little bit of that anyway in your makeup. My previous records were inward most of the time. But suddenly with the song 'Draw The Line' I'd kicked the front door down and I was outside. The world was my oyster: that's what I felt as a writer.

I got to say things as a writer that I've obviously been dying to say for years. Songs like 'Nemesis', 'First Chance' and 'Draw The Line' were so liberating. Images and ideas just flowing out and a bit of humour as well, and a bit of caustic soda ground in there too. A bit of spice to the whole thing. The camera was suddenly panning everywhere. It was just a wonderful feeling. I just feel very, very alive. That's the feeling that's in 'Draw The Line'."

WE CAME, WE SAW, WE KICKED ITS ASS

You gotta' love any video that starts with a scene from the 1932 film, Freaks. The Golden Age of Video could possibly be the best YouTube video ever. I won't waste any more of your time writing about it, just click play and be prepared to be amazed. The lyrics are below for your convenience.

1,2,1,2,3,4
We accept her, one of us, we accept her, one of us!
Gooble gobble gooble gobble!
We accept her, we accept her!
We accept her, one of us, we accept her, one of us!
Gooble gobble gooble gobble!
We accept her, we accept her!

(We-we) we came, we saw, we kicked it's ass,
I was testing you - and you passed,
Dental plan! Lisa needs braces,
Be required to fart on a regular basis,
I'm gonna make him an offer he can't refuse,
Channel 13 - Eyewitness news!
Robocop, who is he?
Dead or alive you're coming with me.

In a hurry to be fed, beady eyes and big blue head.

I'm telling the truth Doc, you gotta believe me,
Why does everything I whip leave me?
My beautiful chocolate! Candy is dandy,
Fava beans and a nice Chianti,
You can count on Slippery Pete,
Suicide will be nice and neat!
I didn't build the Panama canal,
Open the pod bay doors please, HAL,

These aren't the droids you're looking for,
These aren't the droids we're looking for,
I am not a number I am a free man!
Rosebud.
To The Idiotmobile!
Right away Michael,
I-I-I-I will not be pushed, filed, stamped, indexed, briefed, debriefed or numbered.

We came, we saw, we kicked it's ass,
You don't understand I coulda had class,
Round and tasty on a bun,
Ooh Zippy look what you've done!
Finally! Cast off those lines!
No, I've been nervous lots of times,
Red Rum! What's the matter honey?
Just robbed Boss Hogg all of his money!

We came, saw, we kicked it's ass,
Writing checks your body can't cash,
I was elected to lead, not read,
I feel the need - the need for speed,
Watch out for snakes, a good man's loafer,
HQ - my hat looks like a muffin - over,
My god it's full of stars,
There was no driver in the car..

In the car (repeat)

Well you see I'm in hot pursuit!

There are only two things I love in this world - everybody and television!
#The Simpsons
#Run With Us!
Ugh - you must be shrooming,
Wait for me Moomin!
Cross live to meet the host of that show, Meat Boy,
I want to go to there.

We came, we saw, we kicked it's ass,
An oil tycoon - like a.. moustache,
Nice beaver! I just had it stuffed,
I don't give a shit, close enough,
Where's me washboard? I'll get me coat,
Y-y-y-you're gonna need a bigger boat,
What'd she say? I think she bought it,
Suck it monkeys! I'm goin' corporate!
C'mon let's take a drive! A drive?
Number 5 is alive!
It's only a laugh, no harm done,
Pickles, french fries, yum yum yum,
Bueller, Bueller, Bueller,
It's 2 degrees cooler,
The light that burns twice as bright burns half as long,
Six words in the whole song.

We-we-we accept her, one of us, we accept her, one of us!
Gooble gobble gooble gobble!
We accept her, we accept her!
You are number 6 5 4 3 2
I am not a number, I am a free man

We came, we saw, we kicked it's ass,
Give me my 20,000 in cash,
We came, we saw, we kicked it's ass,
I think you woke up the dead with that blast
We came, we saw, we kicked it's ass,
I think fast, I talk fast,
We came, we saw, we kicked it's ass,
Lois, this is not my Batman glass,
