we got all night

Jonah Hill is losing weight "to be healthier." I called it. If it's really to be healthy, good on him, but it really just makes me hate Hollywood. You don't need to be a size 2 to be healthy.

Anyway, yesterday I saw X-Men: First Class. I didn't want to see it and some of you know how I am really not a fan of James McAvoy or Fassbender (good actors, but the fangirls have killed them for me over the years). I knew they would destroy continuity as they have been with every X-Men movie so far. From what I can recall, X2 may have been the most faithful of them all. I know I had "nerdy rage," as squoctobird says, over the first and third films and completely dismissed the Wolverine movie (the PS3 game, though, is awesomeee!), and didn't pay attention to anything surrounding this movie at all. But it was supposed to be a day out with some friends and I decided I'd go. It ended up just being me and one friend who showed up, saw the movie and then went our separate ways. But whatever, it was a night I wasn't sitting at home.

But I do have some faults with this movie too:

( But I'm nice and cut them )

( These are more spoilery/reactionary )

But the movie itself, once you put all of that aside, was really good! I wasn't invested in the characters and didn't really care but I didn't feel like it dragged and hit all the plot points when it needed to and tied itself up nicely.

I also just saw Super, which was really dark and The Green Hornet which was more entertaining than I expected. I've been on a movie bender lately, but I haven't been impressed with the majority of them. It just makes me want to keep going and hopefully find a new movie to put among my favorites. But so far, no dice. :/

I'll be honest and say that this one started off as a thousand other Watchmen fanmixes I downloaded and then pieced together to fit all the characters. Then I realized I knew better songs for some of the characters, got really serious about it and then the playlist just sat on my iPod until it sounded right for each one.

Twitter has finally taken over my life. I knew it would, eventually but I charged up my PSP today just to check it. I hadn't even checked LJ yet. WHAT IS WRONG WITH ME.

A week ago Leterrier was all but confirming Cap's appearance on AOTS. And now this. FAIL, whomever's involved. Still, I AM EXCITED FOR FRIDAY, OMG. For someone who was never really a Hulk fan in the slightest, I'm really excited. The Ultimates Bruce is so much more a pathetic Jekyll & Hyde story than the original Bruce-infused-with-gamma-rays that I think it makes for better drama. Although the logic behind the whole replicating-the-serum-while-still-battling-the-original-Hulk-effects is lost on me.

( And now I go into comic book geek mode, where I explain EVERYONE SHOULD TRY READING Y: THE LAST MAN and talk about The Surrogates and Watchmen )

I finished the Lego Indiana Jones storyline and omg, that last level in Crusade was so annoying and hard that I didn't even care about the True Adventurer status anymore. Now just to play free play (with my custom characters, bwahaha) and collect everything else! I want the guest characters, especially. Luke and R2-D2 really, but Han Solo just sounds redundant. :/

And speaking of games, I recently tried the demo of Cooking Mama 2 on the Wii's Nintendo Channel and thought it wasn't as bad as it sounded. I still can't help but find the whole idea of the game really demeaning, but it's actually somewhat addicting. My competitive nature also does not jibe well with it. It keeps giving me silver medals and a score in the 90s. WTF. And I love when it says "That came out so well!" and then gives me a bronze and a score of 50. Really? But it is semi-informative. I never knew that both beef and pork were in meat-loaf. And I never want to deal with fish in real life. The de-scaling and filleting tasks gross me out. And this is a cartoon! I also find the Japanese accent really annoying (and the PeggySims2 menu style is ghastly). Maybe that's just me being an arrogant American, but I feel that if they're going to localize it, at least get someone audible. "Terrific, even better than Mama!" should not sound like "Ter-fic! Emo butter than Mamah!"

Okay, I gave up on SPN so I'm not as mad as I was when I had my idea for a SPN video set to Christina Aguilera's "Hurt"... and then another video came out right as I was ripping the clips for it. But there's two versions of the Sammy song on YouTube now. You know what? I still have the Spencer song, so I'll just go along with that one-- without the music and I'll be happy. Psych needs the viral fandom love and I need to get back to all those stalled videos and fics I have in my WIP folders, anyway. This Psych video is oodles of fun though. UGH, FOR IT TO BE JULY!

IN OTHER TV NEWS, TOMORROW IS THE SECOND SEASON OF MY BOYS, HURRAH HURRAH. And there's an awesome picspam and quotespam here that illustrates why these characters are so awesome. READ IT.

Damn. This is ubër-long. My bad.

P.S. Someone please tell my ears to work correctly. I keep hearing music blasting from my headphones and I think a video started on some tab, only to put the headphones back on and hear nothing. Also, I just heard my dad sneeze and he's not home yet. O.o

I've felt like a proud mother all weekend with all the good reviews and numbers for Iron Man.

And then I saw this.

I'm not sure about Vaughn, but whatever. I can has production start dates?
