(no subject)
So...I wanted to thank everyone for your wonderful thoughts and support last week. I needed that and it was appreciated muchly. I'm feeling much more positive this week which is a beautiful thing.
I spent a good part of the weekend doing productive stuff which makes one feel better any day. Saturday, Mike and I saw (along with the rest of the country apparently) X-Men: The Last Stand. It was meh, for the most part. Frankly, it was just a rather hollow movie. No emotional resonance. I mean, they killed off three of main characters -- Cyclops, Jean Grey and Professor Xavier, and I felt nothing. It had some good special effects but that was it. MI:III was a much better movie, in my opinion, and had a lot more emotional impact. X-Men III -- I felt like an objective outsider during the movie.
Other random thoughts:
--The actress playing Rogue doesn't work for me. I liked her in the first one, liked her less in the second one and I'm now totally over her. She's just not Rogue.
--Hallie Berry needs to learn how to walk and tight pants because she was walking way funny at time, I thought.
--The actress playing Kitty (the person who can walk through walls) is a mouth-breather which is very annoying.
--The actor who played the little kid whose power was to remove others' mutant powers looks like Jennifer Connelly.
--I thought it was totally bizarre that the bad guys left the city to go live in the set of Robin Hood: Prince of Thieves. And, evidently, they also grabbed Marion's costumes for Jean Grey/Phoenix to wear. Ugh.
I was mightily disappointed. The Phoenix storyline was one of my absolute favorites in the comic book series. And I was expecting more.
