The Last Stand
It’s a Friday night, I am tired from a hellish work week, I am almost cross-eyed from staring at the monitor. I know I need some distraction. So as I close up shop (desk, actually) and look to the weekend, I will start de-stressing by grabbing me some buttered popcorn and plopping my aching backside into a cool chair, and tuning out the world.
It’s The Last Stand. XXX!
update!? :P

Snowball, miga: miss you man grabe! The job is getting to me, I'm having tummy acid again... haven't had this for years. Stop na smoking, girl. Beer sounds good, though.

Hi petite! An interesting read, alright. I agree with Mark's extensive exposition on the latest XMen flick. I have been following the Xmen randomly and Mark says it best, a purist't take. Rogue giving up her awesome power for a boy aaawwwrrggh. And the CGI particles, a very clean sweep at the destructive power of the Dark Phoenix... it's an obvious effect, yes. But sort of an easy way out, a manufactured shortcut to get through to the audience that Jean Grey is capabale of obliteration. But still, it is a cop out, no lyricsm, no metaphor about it, nothing mystic. Just CGI.
Still, I was entertained by the movie. I'll even watch it again on DVD when I can. But to say that it floored me or was even close to the mythic saga that is the XMen, well hmmm, no, I don't think so.

i actually had fun watching it especially because there was so much of hugh jackman in it, but markie the fanboy found issue with the movie. (mejo shameless plug ba for the hubby? hee. but it's going to be a fun read, promise. ;-) )
