X-Men: First Class (023) was better than I expected, although I didn't get caught up in the fandom that's sprung up around it, especially for pairing Prof X with ( ... )

The weather's been nice, too. Cloudy, breezy, perfect for relaxing. I even managed to complete a goal this week.

WEEK 61

Song of the Week (100): PJ Harvey - The Words That Maketh Murder. Also, not a song of the week, exactly, but the music video for Katy Perry's "ET" feat.

Sucker Punch (023): I don't have much to say about this film, which was not very good (IMO) and fizzled out at the end with a confusing "message." As soon as credits rolled, I turned to my friend and said ( ... )
