(no subject)
Ok, been absent from LJ for a couple of days; if anybody was expecting me to comment on something or updated with something I should see, please let me know. I'm a little afraid of needing to skip 400 or something to get back to where I was. I'm down in Santa Cruz right now; my mom left a few minutes to go to the Santa Cruz Blues Festival, where she's going to see B.B. King. She's got good seats, too, she's very excited. But so here I am, huzzah.
OMFG. It was so much better than I was expecting it to be. I saw the absolute douchebag that they had playing Angel in the previews, I saw Beast looking like a guy in blue makeup rather than a furball and was like "... aw crap." But since X-Men was my second fandom (meaning I've been loving the X-Men and various spin-off titles for about ten years now), I was gonna to see it anyway. Man, I'm so glad that I was wrong. Douchebag!Angel was in it for approximately two more shots than they show in the preview, Beast kicked some SAVAGE ASS on Alcatraz WOW and even though he wasn't funny or witty he DID say "Oh my stars and garters!" (I practically peed myself when he did that), the action scenes lived up to Nightcrawler kicking ass in the White House and OMG FLAMING CARS OF DEATH! MAGNETO AND XAVIER'S OLD COUPLE BICKERING! ICEMAN ICED UP! "I'M THE JUGGERNAUT, BITCH!"
My nitpicks were that I don't see the point of using a known characters power but changing the gender and age of the character; I didn't see the correlation between MUTANT and HIPSTER FUCKING VAMPIRE; and that he-woman who had Rictor's power was officially the stupidest looking person I've ever seen in my life, and considering that I go to art school, that's saying A LOT.
But HELLO. THEY KILLED SCOTT, XAVIER and JEAN!! I've been waiting for TEN YEARS for Scott to die. Man, I loved it.
Charlie/Claire Charlie/Claire Charlie/Claire!!! Eeeeeeeee!!! Although WTF was up with Charlie's nonchalance towards the end, like, dude, huge ball of light and near death escape, but I'll sit here chillin' with my girl crackin' jokes and not really caring if my two ex-mentors made it out of the hatch alive. Did anybody care? We didn't see anybody care, which I don't actually mind too much about because CLAIRE KISSED CHARLIE YAY. I have been waiting for two whole seasons for that to happen, ME, the consummate slasher. There's something about LOST that pushes my het shipper buttons, man, I swear.
I'm nonplussed about what happened to the holy trinity of LOST. I definitely foresee their future plotline as similar to Frodo and Sam's journey, once they left the Fellowship, also known as The Plotline I Don't Give a Shit About. (That changed in the movie, of course, because who didn't love "Don't go where I can't follow."? Puh-leez.) We sort of figured that they wanted Hurley for a different reason than the others, but I didn't know that it was only Plot Device. Also, no matter what Michael did ... I'm really glad that he got away with Walt. It was impossible for me to hate him.
I'm hungry. >.<;; I've also got a killer sore throat, which I find irritating considering I've been sick in one way or another for nearly one goddamn month now. COME ON, I'M TWENTY ONE, I SHOULD BE HEALTHY BY NOW. **headdesk**
