brett ratner told the nation (via mtv) that the third film will most definitely mark a close to the x-men franchise. "we wanted to make sure the audiences knew that this was a trilogy. even though they weren't made together like 'lord of the rings,' this is really closure for the x-men series" said ratner. this seems to dispel rumors largely filled by vinnie jones and his contract that a 4th and 5th film could be in the future.
only three movies with hugh jackman and his long spiky fingernails? major disappointment.

japan's obsession with camera-equipped mobile phones has taken a bizarre twist, with mourners at funerals now using the devices to capture a final picture of the deceased.
i get the sense that people no longer respect the dead. it's disturbing," a funeral director told the mainichi shimbun newspaper.
at one ceremony several people gathered round the coffin and took out their phones to photograph the corpse as preparations were made to begin a cremation, she was quoted as saying.
"i'm sure the deceased would never want their faces photographed," she said.
but others called it a form of a memento in the modern age.
"some can't grasp 'reality' unless they take a photo and share it with others ... it comes from a desire to keep a strong bond with the deceased," social commentator toru takeda told the paper.
okay, this is just plain creepy!

if the camera on your mobile has become as indispensable as the phone itself, you might want to liven things up a bit with these add-on lenses from kenko digital in japan. these inexpensive lenses come with a strap so that you can hang them from your phone. the lens itself has an adhesive cushion so that you can stick it temporarily over the lens of the camera.
there are 14 different types to choose from, some offering two special effect lenses on the same strap. you can add a colour tint to your photo or zoom in on your subject, for example. my personal favourite is the one that makes your subject look slimmer - your friends will love you for using it!
oh great, more tools to aid us in our online dating deceptions.
