To be smut, it must be utterly without redeeming social importance

I am under no illusions that X-Men Origins: Wolverine (2009) was a good movie. I didn't think it was at the time. But every time I am reminded it exists, I wish it had been better, because Liev Schreiber with retractile claws was great.

On the other hand, I now know that "retractile" is an actual word and a synonym of "retractable", which I've always used. Neat.

It is indeed an actual word! Technically I think cats' claws are protractile because in the normal resting position they are retracted and unsheathe only at the contraction of muscles, but what the hell, I have been wanting retractile claws since childhood and I'm not going to change my wish list now.
