X-Men

Watched X-Men: First Class this evening. I caught a lot of positive reviews from fans and so was expecting a better movie than I found myself sitting through. The plague of bad acting (I'm looking at you, January Jones and Zoe Kravitz), heavy-handed writing (the invention of the code names was pretty lazy writing, fo serious), the weird choices for X-history revision (I was never a fan of the newer Emma Frost, and what was with the whole Mystique/Xavier thing?) and the occasional shoddy CGI aside, it wasn't a bottle of Awesomesauce, but it did make for a fun film experience. And Erik/Xavier? Shyeah, I'm on that boat. No doubt, homies. The guy who played Erik rocked that turtleneck, blazer, and shades look like no one's bidness. Caliente!

There was *so much* slashy dialogue. I mean, those two practically were married with a home full of adopted multiracial children. I'm pretty sure the Mystique/Erik parts were thrown in as an afterthought to het up the movie, but imo that just turned Erik into a Humbert Humbert-like creeper.

Apt icon, btw. All aboard. :)
