turpsThey're admitting Kelly to hospital today, and inducing her tomorrow morning, so, there should be a new member of our family sometime this weekend. My brother's communication has shrunk to one word text messages. I can imagine how frantic he'll be, knowing he'll soon have a son or daughter. I hope he gets some good sleep tonight as it'll be the last he gets for a while.
I've seen this around so figured I'd join in.
"Imagine the LJ Lords decree that, from this time forth, it's five icons per user and only five icons per user. Which five of your icons would you choose?"
There was only one choice for the first one. I love my default, a lot. I can't begin to say how much I adore euro!Chris. The braids and braces combo kills me.
My penguin Pete icon. I use this for cyber hugs. A lot of time I don't know what to say when people are upset. Sometimes there's nothing you can say, so Pete says it for me.
My media fandoms tend to be overshadowed by the popstuff, but Mutant X is my show, will always be my show. I do watch for Brennan. I think Victor is gorgeous, love the character, the setting everything. Plus, it's an icon I tend to use when the pop ones wouldn't be appropriate.
Chris at the Celebrity release party and he looks so happy. I use this icon a lot. So many of you make me laugh, in a good way of course. You're amusing, witty, and I show that by using laughing Chris.
It was hard to pick one of the trickc icons I have. They make me happy. I love them. End of.
X 3 was seen last night.
First, it was X Men so that was a thing of total squee. I so love that universe, seeing all the mutants, it was wonderful. Beast was fabulous! He looked good and I was impressed at how well he fit my vision of Beast, especially in the final battle scene where he was magnificent. I got chills watching him then. I wonder how confused people would be that don't really know any back story. I'm not an expert by any means, but I knew he was part of the X Men team, the only way casual viewers would know was him having an old uniform at the mansion.
Warren was cool, I loved his wings, but the person cast for him didn't do it for me. He was good looking and not offensive in any way, he just wasn't how I saw Angel. Not pretty enough by far.
Juggernaut was cool. I loved when he was running through the walls after Kitty, but each time I saw Vinnie Jones's face I kept flashing back to when he played football, and especially when he grabbed hold of Gazza's crotch. So that threw me out a little. But still, he was good in the role.
Charles dying. I don't think I was breathing in that scene, Magneto's face. He was doing an internal Noooooooooo!!!!! But at the same time. They had Jean kill Professor X! WTF!?
Also, they killed Scott! Jean killed Scott! He was in the movie, what, five minutes and then she killed him. Again, wtf!
Iceman/Pyro. Could they get any slashier? I don't think so.
Mystique. Seeing her made 'normal' like that was way harsh. Especially Magneto's comment that she used to be so beautiful. Also, Magneto at the end, playing chess alone. The saddest thing ever. He's so powerful, man, when he moved the bridge I was in awe, and he was sitting there, an old man alone. I was thrilled when the chess piece moved. I have a lot of sympathy for Magneto and his ideals. The X Men universe is shades of grey, the drug to make them non mutants should be seen as a bad thing, because there's nothing wrong with them. But at the same time, should people be allowed the choice to take it if they want? It all ties into how they're perceived by the population at large. Mutancy shouldn't be a thing, just something different, the same way everyone is different in some way. But some people can't see it like that. Like Warren's dad, and that scene where young Warren was hacking at his wings. It broke my heart.
Rogue hardly did a thing, just a lot of jealousy.
Wolverine rocked, even if he was tamed.
Loved looking at the morlocks.
Everyone left when the movie finished except us and a group of fanboys further up. The staff came in to clean then stood to the side when they saw us there, and man, are those credits long. I actually let out a YAY! when Charles spoke, which amused one of the cinema staff greatly.
Summing up. The film crammed too much in but despite that, I enjoyed it a lot, despite the wtf!? moments. It's not as good as the first two, but it's still good. I'll be seeing it again for sure. We're going tonight
