A.O. Scott’s review of X-Men Origins: Wolverine is headlined, “I, Mutant, Red in Face and Claw,” which I think is wonderful. It gets me wondering, though: do movie review headline writers have some kind of forum where they make sure they don’t accidently double up on puns? Because it sure would have been embarassing if someone else went for the Tennyson joke on the same day. Runner-up: the Toronto Star’s non-pun headline “Wolverine: A Hairy, Canuck Obama?”
A great headline…
William Brafford grew up in North Carolina, home of the world's best barbecue, indie rock, and regional soft drinks. He just barely sustains a personal blog and "tweets" every now and then under the name @williamrandolph.
