phosfateSaw a chunk of X-Men last night. It's gonna be one of those movies that everybody likes but me, isn't it? Something really creepy and repulsive about the whole thing, starting with the pubic hair glued to Wolverine's face. There's something really wrong with any X-adaptation where I like Cyclops best, y'know?

My other problem with X-Men movieverse is, natch, the fandom. Wolverine/Rogue does nothing for me. I don't mind OTPing when you've got a sense of humor about it, but most W/R shippers that I've run across are as bad as Stargate S/Jers. Then, of course, there's the potential for flamewars based on adherence to comic "canon," which is a notion so laughable that I can barely stop from choking on my hysterics.
But now we're back to the land of my own pet peeves, and I'll stop blathering about them in your poor defenseless LJ. X-Men movie = okay, with some really really good bits and some suckage. Alan Cumming and Ian McKellen together in the sequel = I may spontaneously combust in the theater.

Date: 2003-04-02 01:59 pm (UTC)X-Men fans and a sense of humor are like matter and anti-matter. They cannot combine, and attempting to force it will destroy the universe. Also: Dude, Rogue is like 12 in the movie! Squick!
Oh, blather away. It's what I live for.

Although after that comment someone made on f_w a while ago, I'm wondering how much gay there will be in the second movie. :D

Re:
Date: 2003-04-02 11:43 pm (UTC)Okay, what about this? If I'm bisexual and I only like a movie mildly... does that make the movie okay or one of the other two extremes?!
