film and relations stalking on facebook

Wolverine : fabulously enjoyable tosh and worth the money for the cinema ticket. Explosions! nekkidness! fights! great deadpan humour! Slight peeved at what they did to my fave merc-with-a-mouth during the film (the beginning, no problem whatsoever. Ryan Reynolds, you're fabulous and we can provide portable Bea Arthur shrines for you. You can believe in him going 'Do I still think in those little yellow boxes? Why hello, little yellow boxes, what *fun* we shall have together'). *Very* cool title sequence. And my god, they managed to make an origin for wolverine and sabretooth that makes more sense than thirty years of cack-handed comics attempts. Liev Schreiber = finally, a Sabretooth that doesn't look like an overblown wrestler and/or act like a sodding panto villain. And hello, actually menacing and threatening. Though I preferred Brian Cox as Stryker in X2.
Yeah. I find it slightly disturbing when the films make more sense than the source material.
...My aunts have added me on facebook. No, really, parental units, you have no desire to see the stuff that we put on facebook. I'm quite sure you don't want to see your offspring collapsed in the corner of a nightclub.

Of course, since we have lots of friends in common, I'd probably hear about her having collapsed. I certainly hear about her partying friends collapsing when drunk.

No kids, really, you DON"T need to see my LJ. and if you see my screenname, run the opposite wayno subject

I have to admit when I heard Liev Schreiber was going to be playing Sabretooth, I had major reservations, but, WOW. I knew he could be subtly menacing, but he's got the overt menacing down too.
I was also worried about Taylor Kitsch as Gambit, but he managed, um, quite well.... ahem... i'llbeinmybunk. And no ridiculous overblown accent!
