Let's Map Bomb The Wolverine: Origins Premiere

Hugh Jackman has taken a moment out of his busy pants-peeing schedule (these pants aren't going to pee themselves!) to introduce a Wolverine: Origins contest:

Oh boy! Obviously, winning this contest could easily make some nerd's year. I know that. And I do not begrudge that nerd, sitting in his childhood room in his dead-end hometown dreaming of one day escaping to a less dull and/or hostile city where something actually happens, or at the very least dreaming that one day Galactus comes down and swallows the planet whole. And nerds aside, who wouldn't want to have Hugh Jackman pee his pants in their own city?! Everyone wants that. It's hilarious.

Still, we should totally map-bomb the Wolverine: Origins premiere. First we have to pick a city. For example, Hollywood, California. Can you imagine if the premiere of a movie was held there? Dreams really do come true. Then we just go to this website, we all register, and we all click on Hollywood, California. It's a totally legitimate use of our adult lives.

It will be just like Improv Everywhere. When the nerds realize what we've done, they'll see that art is all around them and they'll love it because we say so.

Has anyone watched the leak of this movie? I haven't of course because of how illegal that is. But I have this friend, and he says it's very very funny because it's very very very bad. They should have a term for that. Laughably bad. There, I just made one.

It's not a leak, oh. It's the pre-reshoot, pre-SFX version of the movie. Of course it's going to be bad.

That's right Erin, I'm not talking about the special effects (SFX) here. I'm talking about everything else. I'm talking about the motorcycle scene. I'm talking about everything. ESPECIALLY I AM TALKING ABOUT HUGH JACKMAN'S NAKED ASS.

Yeah, it's only the rough version, so a lot of the special effects aren't finished. But I mean, even if they were, it would still be awful in a truly hilarious way.

This contest is just begging for Stephen Colbert to bomb the shit out of it. Sorry Colbert, Oklahoma, you are about to be stormed by Hugh 'I-totally-like-chicks-no-matter-what-my-wife-says' jackman.

Jesus, enough with the pee-pants shit, Gabe. I expected the Oscars to suck but this year was better then last year and a hell of a lot better then Ellen two years ago. I think Jackman is a perfect Wolverine. It's a comic book movie not Hamlet.

Actually, if you would have watched the leaked film like every one else you would have known that Wolverine's full name is actually "Hamlet H. Wolverine."

I say we all vote for Riverton, Texas. The closet city is Odessa, Texas and from the Google Maps photos it doesn't look populated. How great would it be if Wolverine premiered in an abandoned town?

Cgi issues:

Cables on the back of ryan aka deadpool
Cables on the back of wolverine
The first shot where the team flies, the clouds and airplane are not filled up
The last scene where wolverine and sabertooth “ kill “ deadpool on top of the nuclear reactors at the 3 mile island.
And many many more, I would guess that atleast 10-15 mins of CGI is screwed

So I think will watch the movie again…in the theatres this time….and btw the dude who did this got a 7k usd and a 6 months house arrest.
