It's been awhile.

Despite the fact that I haven't updated this journal in... oh, 2 years?-- I still harbor a secret love for Dominic Monaghan. It's strange to think that all the things that happened was so long ago too...

Anyways, I'm sure most Dom fans have seen the official Wolverine trailer that has been released online. You all probably have pressed your nose against your computer screen, squinting your eyes, to try and make-out the small image of Dom 37 seconds into it, too... I know I did. Ha.

I can't believe I am going to be talking about X-Men in my LotR/Dominic Monaghan journal, but here goes:

I hated the X-Men 3 movie and have disavowed it's existence.

Confession: I am a semi-purist when it comes to the X-Men, and already, I am completely apprehensive of this new film coming out. I am very flexible when it comes to the re-telling of the X-Men stories and character stories, of course, but X3 didn't do a good re-telling. Basically, that movie fucked everything up.

Although I will eagerly sit and watch Wolverine in the theaters when it comes out, I already have so many things I have a problem with.

I do NOT like the actor chosen for Gambit is my main beef. I hate the way he looks. He looks like a bloated rapist. I'm serious. Bloated motherf'in rapist. They got him so wrong, that it's just wrong. I'm so offended by this that I might just barf whenever he's on screen.

The story-- at least what I can ascertain from the trailer-- is suspicious to me. But I can not fully judge until I've watched it. I am hoping this movie redeems the X-Men movie series for me, after how X3 assraped the love out of my system and then killed my unborn babies in front of me. Yeah. I know. Harsh words, but you people have no idea how angry I was after I've watched that film. It's kind of ridiculous.

Dominic, I look forward to your entry into the Marvel-verse/superhero movie land. I don't know what's going on with you anymore, but I will come enjoy your movies when they come close to me!
