New Terminator Salvation trading cards showcase a handful of the killer-machine faces that haunt the minds of the resistance fighters of 2018. And there are a few new stills from the movie itself.

The trading cards retail at $2.00 a pack and show many stills from our post apocalyptic ruins. According to the press release:

The Topps card series will comprise 90 base cards highlighting many memorable moments from Terminator Salvation, including key effects sequences. Extra-special, random insert cards will feature the film's star robots in Embossed Foil as well as Pop-Up Battle Cards. Additionally, selected packs will contain random, one-of-a-kind Artist Sketch Cards, Authentic Autograph Cards or Memorabilia Cards embedded with actor-worn costume materials.

Wolverine Gets Spicy With Ragin' Cajun

Just when you thought you'd heard all the spoilers from the new Wolverine movie, now we find out that Gambit will be joining the cast as well. Taylor Kitsch (yeah, we don't know him either) will be playing the charged-up, card-slinging, cajun-mouthed mutant, and he looks a bit like a young Sawyer from Lost. At this point, they might be able to feature just about every mutant in the X-Men comics in this flick, especially since they can hire nonames for cheap. Any chance we'll get to see Alpha Flight? We're just sayin'. [Empire Online]

Number Six Uses Her Body to Rescue Kittens

Tricia Helfer, the human side of Cylon Number Six, is doing a charity event for kitten rescue by auctioning off an uncut sheet of Battlestar Galactica cards that have been signed by just about every actor to appear on the show. In fact, it wouldn't be surprising if some random background character had signed one of these.

Check out the front and back of the sheets, and bid away. We also took a look through the store portion of her site and noticed she's selling autographed copies of her Playboy appearance from last year, which sports some NSFW Cylon coin-slot action. All proceeds to go Tricia's favorite Kitten Rescue charity, and we're resisting the urge for a bad joke right here.
