What I Did This Weekend, By The trista

[trista]

My long weekend included X-Men in the theater and several movies on DVD, a bike ride, a horrible allergy attack (Snot Level = Horrifically High), biscuits and gravy, lots of reading, some cashews, grocery shopping, a very soft stuffed cow with gigantic eyes OMGCUTE, turkey burgers with hummus and red onion, pretending to bond with Crazy Eddie when

I went and saw X-Men this weekend too... sorry to hear about 'the bits' but sounds like a great weekend otherwise

[trista]

It was a fantabulous weekend! :)

Did you like the movie? I did. I'd heard loads of terrible reviews, but I wasn't disappointed. I think part of that is that my only experience with the whole X-Men thing is the movies, so I don't miss the bits of story that weren't there and I don't notice the things that aren't true to the comics.

Personally I enjoyed the movie... but like you I never read the comic books. Guess it'll be hard to come out with an X-Men IV seeing as how so many of the characters are dead... but then again they did bring Jean back to life from 2 to be in 3 so guess they can still do a 4 *shrug*

To just barge in on the conversation, I liked X-3 too, but I am also a fan of the comics. :)

As for a potential IV- well, there are all those students at the mansion who are growing up... lots of potential new X-Men. And, if they get Angel on the team, they suddenly have more air support. ;)

I'm quite glad they 'pruned' where they did.

Now, did either of you stay to the very end of all the credits?

[_doug]

'stay to the very end of all the credits'... at my age you tend to want to hit the restroom as soon as the movie ends ;-)

Guess maybe we missed a little teaser about a possible 4 perhaps ?

[jadecat]

Well then I should fill you in, remeber that 'ethical dilemna' Prof X. mentioned in his class? Well, we learn how he solved it...

[jadecat]

Oh, and my hubby is 1 year younger than you, and HE managed to stay. :p

[_doug]

just try taking him to a movie next year then ;-)

[trista]

Also, there's nothing stopping them making movies about characters who died if they really want to. They can just set the movies earlier in the timeline than this one.

And yes! I did stay to the very end! Iiiiinteresting possibilities there!

[jadecat]

I thought it was pretty neat, though apparently my brother thought it was ooooh so obvious. :p to him, thought I.

[trista]

Hee! It wasn't obvious to me at all! In fact, I'd forgotten about the little bit of foreshadowing entirely.

[jadecat]

I didn't think it was obvious either. But older brothers being what they are... ;)
