Anyway, the other day I was looking on fandango dreaming about going to a movie instead of studying contracts. I saw they had a nice little feature about the top 50 most anticipated movies for 2009 (which btw most of them looked like crap). I was just scrolling through the pictures and short synopses when I got to X-Men: Wolverine and it mentioned that Taylor Kitsch was going to be Gambit in the movie.

I hurriedly exclaimed, "Riggins is going to be Gambit!"
Mike: "What? When?"
"In the new X-Men movie about Wolverine coming out this summer".
"Yeah, I dont know how I feel about that...Riggins?"
"Whatever, he's going to be awesome!" (I can't deny my love for Riggins)
"Gambit was a Cajun. He was also a self-proclaimed ladies man. I just can't see Riggins pulling that off"
"So not true! All he has to do is mumble and throw cards and be a gambler. And he liked Rogue, right? Cajun? What is a Cajun?"

"Gambit was from Louisiana and really proud of his heritage."
"No he was not! I remember because I was totally in love with cartoon Gambit"
"Gambit was my favorite too but I remember this correctly."
"Okay fine I'll wikipedia it. [Searching wikipedia] Uhh...."
"What does it say?"
"As the X-Men's self-described ladies man, Gambit has shown a more vulnerable side of himself over the years, especially when it comes to Rogue. Gambit remains fiercely proud of his Louisiana heritage, and speaks in a very thick, Cajun accent."
Mike then laughed. And I then laughed.
Typical.
PS if you don't know who Riggins is, please please watch Friday Night Lights, the TV show. It's glorious.

Remember season 2 of FNL, "WWRD?" (what would riggins do?). yup. he's a ladies man. and i'd see ANY movie that he's in ... even if it was a really bad remake and costarred someone like Mariah Carey.
Yup ... I just said that.
My love for Riggins runs deep ... deep like a cajun accent.
i love that these are the things that get discussed in your house.
and coco, don't EVEN deny your love for mimi.
I feel that my nerdiness has been vindicated by this post. Gambit was always my favorite growing up! Even animated he was so sexy. I am thrilled Riggins is going to play him.
