Gay marriage is legal in Sweden! + Wolverine (neat mix, don't you think?)
1. Effective yesterday on May 1, we have a gender neutral marriage law in Sweden. I say YES.
2. I just saw the Wolverine movie, and once again I say YES.
Things I liked:
- Naked Hugh Jackman. Shirtless Hugh Jackman. Even clothed Hugh Jackman was reason for drooling.
- All the little nods and references to the fans.
- Gambit! My favourite Marvel character! First, I wasn't sure about the actor they picked to play him, but I'm satisfied enough. *loves my cajun*
- The fact that it actually fits together rather well with the X-men movies, even though I'm going to have to re-watch #2 to make sure. And i kind of wonder why Logan was such a mystery the first time he arrived to Xavier's school, seeing as the mutants he rescued must've become the Professor's first students. Now, Scott I can understand since he couldn't actually see, but the rest of the kids must've remembered him. Maybe they had already left by the time Wolvie arrived in X-men 1? Ah, well. Minor plothole.
- Oh, Scott! *hugs awkward skinny teenaged Scott Summers*
- The music was pretty awesome.
- Naked Hugh Jackman! What, I already said that? Well, it's worth mentioning again.
Things I liked less:
- I wanted more Wade! And bad Stryker for mutilating his mouth. The mouth is the best thing about Deadpool! *pouts*
- The ending, while very epic and dramatic in every way, seemed a little flat somehow. You know, like when you spend an eternity writing a story just to find that the end just won't work, but you write it anyway just because there have to be an end. I can't really put words on it, or suggest how it could've been done better but, well... feels weird to have a good movie with a mediocre ending.
Things that made me grin to myself:
- The fact that I was the only one in the theatre nerdy enough to know to stay for the final scene after the credits.
- My first thought after leaving the cinema: I wonder how long before someone posts the first Logan/Victor incest slashfic? Knowing fandom, it's already out there somewhere. And I will not read. *is squicked by incest*
