"But you're not gay. I know you're not gay, Hank."

I read New X-Men #4 Riot at Xavier's, to find out who the Quentin guy was who had shown up in Phoenix Endsong. The whole issue has a wonderful sense of humor despite the frightening tone of Quentin's gang, and I like the way the teachers handle the student unrest with a calm reasoning that says, for all the madness, they've simply seen worse. One of the students is aflame, Xorn, and chasing a bus full of humans toward Salem Center....The Open Day is now an unqualified disaster.

Quentin makes a power-dampening helmet to restrain Xavier, modeled after Magneto's lovely hat, which Queintin says he found plans for on the internet, and that just cracks me up. Quentin's having a fair bit of misplaced Magneto hero-worship, which Charles counters by saying Magneto did many wonderful things, despite being a sociopathic murderer: He was kind to animals and he could dance the tango to championship standard...

I'm sorry, what did you just say, Charles? Magneto danced the tango? To championship standard? That's a story I want to hear.

I caught the end of Seven Years in Tibet, which I had never seen before, and had a strange moment of seeing David Thewlis on the tv and thinking, "I didn't know Remus went to Tibet!" Thewlis' character, Peter, has some very interesting moments with Brad Pitt's character, Heinrich. Has anyone read Seven Years in Tibet slash? It has to exist somewhere. Or, you know, there's always Remus Goes to Tibet.

Now I'm off to read the TWO updates of peter_and_fran that I've missed. Curse real life for keeping me away from my favorite band!
