X-Men The Last Stand



Man, do I love X-Men! I remember when I was in secondary school and saturday was an endless wait because they showed x-men cartoon in the morning. Misunderstood mutants trying to come to terms with their special powers and striving to find peace and acceptance with fellow humans. It may seem like a dumb super creatures special effects kind of comics, but I thought alot of the issues they were tackling seem pretty similar to what we have in the real world.... Ostracism due to race, religion, etc... ok... well... maybe I think too much... but... I could kinda relate to it.

Anyway, X-Men the movie is going to show and the person I LOVE LOVE LOVE must in the film is Hugh Jackman. Why I love him so much?! Because I caught him in Oklahoma on artscentral before and he could sing and smoke at the same time. Which is a mind blowing trick! Cool. The second reason I like him so much was because during an interview, he spoke fondly of his wife (He called her his other half) and he seems so much in love... which is very sweet. I mean... how many people in Hollywood stays married. I say he has his head and heart in the right place. And the third reason is cos'... well... I like Australians... like David... they have this.... earthly... environmentally friendly.... laid back kind of vibe.... like a cool comfortable confidence. Well... he rocks :)!

Anyway, the only complaint I have of the X-Men movie is "Where the hell is Gambit?!" I adored Gambit in the cartoon. The cool cocky guy who can make playing cards blow up in the enemies faces. He and Rouge used to have this love-hate forbidden relationship which is sooooo darn addictive to watch. Gee... now we have Iceman in the movie... well... he's kinda cute as well. Haha. Ok, enough of my miserable musings. I will catch X-Men soon. Peace on earth and love all mutants. Ciao.
