So what did you do with your charity money, Jim? Which you won't actually be able to spend for another 2 weeks, looks like, but whatever. Well, I went and saw me a couple movies. Matinee, solo, natch. I used the Kitty's Mom Method, which is cool if you can get the movie times to line up. Saw X2 first, which I thought was actually kind of boring. It had its moments, mainly when Mystique was onscreen, and not just because she was nekkid. She really seemed to be the only one having fun with it. Her and Alan Cumming. I don't know, the whole thing just sort of... was. Didn't really get much of an emotional reaction from it one way or the other. Even Wolverine running around screaming and slicing dudes into franks & beans didn't really charge me up the way it used to in the old Claremont/Byrne comics. Maybe my revenge fantasies have become more subtle and sophisticated. Maybe I'm just getting old.
Then I snuck into Identity, which was pretty dumb but I liked it. Look out, Ebert! Anyway, I had some thoughts about it over on the Fametracker board, so check it out if you've already seen the movie.
Also, the latest LXG trailer is even worse than the first two, but it reminds me to post my joke I thought up: This movie's version of Dorian Gray is invulnerable, like I guess his portrait absorbs all physical damage in addition to any signs of aging, so they should have called it Bulletproof Hunk. Isn't that adorable? I should write headlines for Entertainment Weekly or something.
So that was a few bucks. Then I bought groceries. Then I came home and took a huge nap. Can you handle it? Try to keep up, bitches!
