Fangirl time

Last night Bobby and I joined Jonathan, Conor, and their friend Brian at a showing of X-Men First Class. Despite being surrounded by boys, I may have been the one who enjoyed it the most. I was quietly squealing at various plot points and generally being a geek. I'm a huge X-Men fan, and have fond memories of seeing X-2 with the rest of the Windham House crew after a long day of moving furniture into our new shared space. In my opinion, X-Men's characters are far superior to the bland christ figure of Superman, who is a terribly one-dimensional character. As I noted in a different format last night, I like my heroes flawed.

Forgive the lousy quality photo of me exiting the theater. Poor lighting combined with a camera phone. Still, you get the idea.

Now to wait for the last Harry Potter movie, which will be the extent of my geekdom (I promise).

  4. I really enjoyed it. Watched it with John Hodgman.

    Some weird stuff though-- The Moira McTaggert changes seemed unnecessary, as did the slew of other bottom tier characters. I hope their making their own continuity rather than trying to connect it to X1-3.
