schmericaDear Alias, if you are going to arrange an elaborate fake-out of a major character's death, could you put a little more effort into it than "Oh, yeah! Irina's dead! Did we forget to tell you? Yeah, that totally happened."?
Thanks,
Erica
on X3:
1. I liked it more than I was expecting to. This might be because I was expecting it to totally suck.
2. I especially liked the parts where Charles and Erik were incredibly gay for each other. OTP!!!
3. I was less fond of the bits where Magneto was randomly overly evilized. Using the cure against other mutants? In chess, the pawns go first? WTF? How black and white do you think we need things to be?
4. I was surprised by just how many character were either died or demutantized. Scott's death, especially, seemed like the kind of death set up for a resurrection in the same movie, not a future one. Also, the problem with doing all that stuff to those characters is that it means we're stuck with freaking Halle Berry in a major role for the entire movie. Bah.
5. Emily from Wilby Wonderful! You had nothing to do in this movie, like the majority of the cast, but you are cute.
6. Anna Paquin is still very pretty, but she looks way, way, way older than she did in the first two movies.
7. Ian McKellen, you are forever my old gay British imaginary boyfriend. And twenty years younger you? ROWR.
8. Hahahaha, random dude talking about forming committees and stuff at the mutant meeting was totally Bucky Haight.
9. Um, whatever. Did I mention the gay?
Thanks,
Erica

I was also (to my surprise and horror) thinking Logan/Scott during their one scene together.
Anna Paquin is still very pretty, but she looks way, way, way older than she did in the first two movies.
WORD. I hope she gave her makeup artist a stern talking to after the premiere.
Ian McKellen, you are forever my old gay British imaginary boyfriend. And twenty years younger you? ROWR.
Did you hear there may be a Magneto prequel film that’ll use de-aging software so McKellen can play younger!Eric? EEEEEEEEEEEEEE!

Glad you liked it.
