the staff of Gandalf

the staff of gandalfFrom deep in the book deadline mineshaft, I have to share with you the movie I’m most excited to see right now: I’ve watched the trailer for X-Men 3: The Last Stand way, way too many times now. I’m thrilled that part of the movie takes place in San Francisco, but I’m also obsessed with what Alan Cumming (allegedly) once called, “the staff of Gandalf”, visibly lurking in Sir Ian McKellen‘s mutantly magnetic trousers, at right.

This post is all my friend Chriso‘s fault, and if you think we watched the trailer five times in a row together screaming like lovesick teenagers at a Justin Timberlake concert while pausing for each frame of the mighty staff, you are correct.
