Don't Hurt Me
What a weekend. Julie's bash was a resounding success. Many people came to celebrate, much rum was consumed, but yet collateral damage was kept to a minimum. Sunday was spent in recovery mode and then a sortie downtown to watch X2. My preliminary thoughts on the flick are mostly positive. I think it improved on the original in nearly every way. The action was tight and fun, the screenplay was markedly better, and did a good job dealing with a whole bunch of characters and no less than 3 distinct factions. The climactic sequence was especially interesting as Singer cross-cut between not 2, not 3, but FIVE different sequences. It was mutant-tastic. Though I'm kinda upset that they copped-out on the Professor-X/Cyclops kiss. You'll see what I mean.
