HAPPY BIRTHDAY NICOLA<\/A>!<\/center><\/p>\n

So I loved X2. I don’t really know anything about comic canon, though. My exposure to X-Men prior to the movies come from the Saturday morning X-Men cartoon that used to be on TV when I was in high school. I have no idea how close the cartoon was to actual comic canon — but I am familiar with the most of the characters, the relationships and the more popular story arcs, particularly the one at the end of the movie, which has me hoping for an X3. \ud83d\ude09 (Does anyone know if anyone from the cast has signed for a third movie?) The movie is just beautiful to watch, especially the beginning sequence with Nightcrawler. Just WOW. After that alone, I knew the movie would be better than the first. My only real disappointment is the limited roles of Cyclops (James Marsden) and Rogue (Anna Paquin). I love those two. Anyway, I *think* I’m even going to watch it again tomorrow — well, actually today since it’s 3 in the morning. Too much pent up energy, can’t sleep, hee.<\/p>\n

Also, the previews were pretty interesting — I sorta want to see Hollywood Homicide<\/i> (Harrison Ford and Josh Hartnett – yowzers!) and Stuck On You<\/i> (bwah! Matt Damon and Greg Kinnear in a Farrelly brothers movie? Funny stuff!). But omg, The Hulk<\/i> trailer had me laughing — seriously. It’s not that the story looks bad or anything — it’s the Hulk himself! The cgi looks positively awful. I can’t take the movie seriously — it’s that bad. The Hulk doesn’t blend well with the movie at all. He sticks out like an eyesore. I think the majority of the the people in the theater were snickering at the trailer. That can’t be a good sign. Oy.<\/p>\n

Oh dear, I *try* to stay unspoiled for Alias<\/i> but my damn curiosity got the better of me. I knew the wildfeed had already aired so I went scouring for spoilers. I really wish I hadn’t done that. I just ruined the entire finale for myself! Gah. ::pounds head onto desk::<\/i> Oh well, I’m still looking forward to watching it. \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
