shit just saw xmen

gotta say something on this although who cares what I think. But I have been going to see x-men movies since they started so I'd know what to say or not say about them although I think we're all getting kinda over the x-men movies by now. Honestly I don't have much interest in them anymore as I get older. But I have a connection to the cast and the story and all that since I was 14 and went to go see the first ever live action x-men. Should have kept my ticket stub for that. Cuz now it'd probably be worth something on ebay. That kinda stuff, ticket stub for phantom menace, or any really big movie that came out at a certain time would have been good to hold on to. But I never really thought they'd make fucking like 10 different x-men movies by now.

Lol, future is a funny place... but whatever, just enjoying the fact that I can go hang out at the movies and still see x-men with the original cast, and they still prettymuch look the same except for Ian who no way in hell was going to still look the same as he did, but thankfully he's still alive and that's all that matters.

Great movie, not going to do well on repeat box office because it's a smart film. And those never ever do well on repeat business. Better than Man of Steel like I predicted. Singer > Snyder. There's really clever shit in this movie. Quicksilver and his stuff is great. The whole retconning of the Last Stand is great. Now basically you can ignore X3 or someone can make a fan-edit to keep the good shit in Last Stand and ignore all the other stuff as it can be somehow bent to lead towards Days of future past.

As much as sites claim that this film is about Xavier and Magneto, I disagree. We started the x-men franchise focused on wolverine's story and it basically ends with his story coming to its close... It's never been about the other characters as much as its been wolverine's journey, and this movie is no different. Unless they go ahead and make a movie without hugh jackman in it, it's never going to be a non-wolverine focused film.


ever...


I'm sure it'll be a monumental success and deservedly so, but it has a ton of complex holes that are impossible to fill. Like still not getting any info on where nightcrawler is or what happened to him. I was hoping since singer said he'd "fix shit" that we'd get a line saying nightcrawler is out doing missions far away or dead or whatever. You can't have such a pivotal and useful, he's one of the most motherfucking useful x-men ever and then say "he's on vacation."

They fucking did it. This movie basically exists to be a reunion film. Everybody who's ever been in the x-movies prettymuch comes back for this one. And it brought a goofy ass smile to my face to see

Cyclops at the end of the movie. It just hit the right note for me personally because he was such a prominent part of the original film and the second, then suddenly all the good feelings of my life back when I saw x1 came back. It was like I returned in time to my older 14 year old body and nothing changed, I was just the same young punk hanigng out at comic shops and looking foarward to star wars, not this 28 year old loser with no future.

 Goddamn you don't know what ya got till it's goneeeeee.... fuck. I mean I was really in the best years back in 2000 when x1 came out. I went to see x-men after anticapating it like a mad-man. That and spiderman. And then it was just a snowball till this day 14 years of comic book movie awesomeness and tv cartoons and stuff. Now what kind of world are we in? What are they still making x-men movies for as its audience gets too old for them?

I'm an old man. Saw X1 when I was a little stupid kid. Still seeing x-movies instead of fucking a girl? That's the saddest thing in the universe gotta say.

Most likely going to still be a virgin as we continue making movies that mean a lot to me personally because I grew up on them. Honestly I'm starting to think I should just stop. Just stop. Don't go see the new star wars cash grabs JJ is making. Don't go see any more of these big nostaligic movies that they keep pumping out or sequels or reboots.

It's time to just get over this stuff and move on, probably do this thing called sex. I don't know....

And that's all folks. I'm done with this blog. Can't be posting all the time like it matters.
