Saw X-Men First Class today. That was a good movie. Not perfect, but definitely good. Especially their handling of Charles and Erik. (Though I expect the usual sites are already flooded with slash.) The best bit was, of course, that one cameo... but everyone loved that.
( My ramblings on the fictional history, if you're interested. Spoilers kept to a minimum. )
( Longer, more serious thoughts about real history )
In other news: Before the movie, there were, naturally, trailers. Most of them confusing. I now have even less of an idea of what Super 8 or The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo are about than I did before. But then I saw this trailer for Reel Steel and I had exactly the same thought as apparently several other people: Holy crap, they actually went and made a movie out of Rock 'Em Sock 'Em Robots. I could have sworn that was a Robot Chicken parody idea. But hey, if they can make a movie out of Battleship (yes, the board game), I guess they can make a movie out of anything.
In other other news: On the drive home from the movie theater, U2's Mysterious Ways was playing on the radio... on the classic rock station. There is something very wrong with reality.
In other U2 news: Did you hear about the song they dedicated to Gabby Giffords? I just love her husband's response.
In other space news: You can send your name to Mars (digitally encoded on NASA's upcoming Curiosity rover).
