weekend stuff
Well tomorrow I head back to OH. Yesterday we went to the lake for the holiday. Seriously, some people are beach people, I'm a lake person. Didn't matter that the water was only 60 odd degrees, I was in it. It was a good time for all my aunt's non-stop complaining.
went to see the X-Men movie tonight with my parents. Spoilers under the cut.
Okay, yeah it wasn't as good as the first two but I still enjoyed this and so did the Rents. Did I wish there were more characer development? Yes, especially of Warren. He was lovely to look at but rather wasted. This was a short movie. there would have been time.
Did I wish they hadn't wasted Rogue? Yes. SHe was nearly totally pointless in this movie and that was a shame
Did they surprise me? Oh yes. There were twists I wasn't expecting.
But it was fantastically imagined with the FX and it was enjoyable enough. I was leery of Kelsey Grammar's inclusion as Beast but I liked him. You could see he was having fun. I wish the director would have had Berry back of the Bitch Button since Storm was unbearable but since I don't think much of her as an actress maybe he did the best he could with what he had to work with. Phoenix's outfits made her look like she robbed a goth mutant's closet. They didn't suit her.
Oh and the trailer they showed for Ghostrider looked cool and I don't even like Nicholas Cage

*biggest eyeroll ever*
If they were so worried, they could have handed out cheat sheets at the door:
Nightcrawler=Skinny, has tail, German accent
Beast=The big one who sounds like Sideshow Bob
Mystique=Boobies
And you know, it's not like it's a coincidence Nightcrawler and Mystique are the same colour... Duh, they're mother and son. And if they were sweating it SO much, they could have gone for Grey-Beast (granted, it's not as well known, but hey *shrug* They had him in his human for in X2).
And just on the Gambit thing.... I dunno WHAT the producers are thinking... Gambit and Wolverine are NOTHING alike. I mean, yeah... They're both more on the fringe of the X-Team, but wildly different in their roguishness. I mean smooth Cajun charm vs barely buried animalistic nature? They're like on different continents of roguishness.
Sorry. My comic book geek is forcing its way. Is it any wonder I have absolutely no problem writing Andrew?
