I saw two good movies recently.
The first, X-Men 3 (went and saw it today). Good film, most definitely. The darkest of the three. It felt good to be able to point out plot points and characters from the original comic series to all the noobs who you can just TELL were not fans of the X-Men as children. Either that or they are too young. I found the ultimate body count to be very, very high, especially in the ranks of the regulars. Quite depressing, for sure. Some things I would have liked to see more of. Fire, you are right: I miss Gambit. And WHERE THE BLEEP WAS NIGHTCRAWLER?? *weeps* Oh, but wasn't Angel the hottest? Mmmmmm... *drools* *wants wings*
The second, Silent Hill (about a week and a half ago). I tell ya, I am very glad to see one of those horror video games finally make itself into a good stand-alone movie. Resident Evil, fun for kicks, but not all that great when it comes right down to it. And Res Ev 2? Totally incomprehensible about halfway through. Either that, or just not scary anymore. Too bad, because that game series is FREAKY. But Silent Hill... Man, that was like the scandalous love child of Lovecraft and Giger. TOTALLY up my alley as far as what is scary. I liked them twitchy nurses, for sure. And I just adore the ghost story concept about alternate dimensions, and brushing past each other while on separate planes. And that whole issue about Daytime versus His Time. That was a stroke of genius, and it makes me want to play the game. But again, Fire, you are right: the death scene of Alice Krige's character Christabella? Totally over the top, and definitely thought up by some male somewhere, probably a tentacle-hentai lover. *shakes head in disappointment* I really recommend this movie. Waaaaaay creepy, way bloody, way engrossing, except for that death scene I talked about back in the spoilers section. The actors were wunnerful, with the exception of a certain ebil child. *rolls eyes at a certain ebil child voice-over* But Kick-Ass Cop Girl, Cool Mom Girl, Hot Dad Boy, Crazy Bag Lady, Ebil Religious Fanatic Lady, and BAD-ASS WITH THE FUNKY POINTY HELMET FROM YOUR WORST NIGHTMARES GUY were great!
Did I ever tell you about the day I first played Silent Hill? Well. I also played Resident Evils 1 and 3, and watched "Excel Saga" and "Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas" in the same afternoon. Kind of a mind fuck of a day, all around. ^_^
My sis got a big ol' trampoline for the backyard a week or so ago. We have been practicing our front flips. I likes me that trapperleen. *flies about* *...sadly, without wings*
So yeah. With the recent movie watching. And the recent trapperleen jumping.
