Believe it or not, that's Sideshow Bob, err, Kelsey Grammer, as Beast in X-Men III. I won't give away any plot-points here, but not to worry, Niles got killed in the first scene.

Overall, the movie was pretty solid. The story about the evils of government versus a select few good guys is something that always gets to me, and if they had been wire-taping the X-Men's phone lines the movie would've been basically a work of non-fiction. All the action sequences were special-effectalicious and there were even several mutant deaths, which was an unexpected and pleasantly dark surprise.

After the movie I began to think about what my mutant power would be if I had one, and I came to the conclusion that I'd like to be able to make people laugh until their head's explode. One time a woman did explode when I was on stage during a road gig, but I later found out that it was because she drank coke and ate Pop Rocks during my set.

In medical news, Mrs. Pennyfeather, my new goldfish, seems to be a little wobbly on her fins (that's fish medical-talk), so I've quarantined her in a small bowl and fresh water. Now all we can do is pray.

That's it for me, have a good three-day weekend you crazy party people...
