xalxuffasch talk me into going out with him tonight instead of wallowing in my post-packing/loading/driving stupor.
I *liked* X2. Not great snark fodder liked, not amused liked, but yow that was good liked. Though the writers really should stick to plot because the relationship stuff was just drippy. A little sap on my sleeve, there. But wow was Ian McKellen cool as Magneto. The cape! The voice! Right up there as one of the badassest bad guys evah. Really though, the whole movie - the fight sequences were awesome. The ideas were original. The jokes were funny. Hugh Jackman is a very, very attractive man - big big fan of the Wolverine hair, too. Mystique didn't wow me in the first movie, but she definitely made up for it in spades here. The beginning sequence with Nightcrawler totally stole the show though, no contest. Also, I would be onboard with the Logan/Scott, but I found the latter to be rather insipid.
Matrix Reloaded preview! Those twins are hella cool, and I will make a concerted effort not to snicker whenever Agent Elrond makes an appearance. Nestle's TollHouse chocolate chip cookie sandwiches are amaaaazing. And my back doesn't hurt nearly as much as it did even before sitting in those heinous theater seats for two and a half hours in further thanks to Jon. Hope you're prepared to take on what that started.
[ETA: Dude! I've been trying to figure out a name for my pairing OTP in this movie and I finally got it! Magique it is, and I might be a colossal dork for thinking it up.]

Hi! :) Nice to hear from someone old and new at the same time. What made you drop the comment? What'd you think of the movie?
My punctuation and perkiness will improve with nourishment and rest, promise.
