( Yard sailing catch up )

...yes, I am out of shelf space again. And coat closet space, incidentally.

Anyway after that I ended up going and hanging out with xerahanadu and lindentreeisle and company in Baltimore, and X-Men: First Class was watched.

I feel like I should be writing a thoughtful post about the fact that every time Charles and Erik were on screen together, the reaction from the audience was giggles as we waited to see who would be the first to give in and shout "KISS ALREADY!" at the TV, and what that says about society and the media and gender and sex, but I didn't get in until 2:30 AM last night and then I had to get up for church, so instead I'll say: it was a fun movie.

But it made no sense. ( cut in case anyone actually cares about spoilers )

The title of the troll version of this movie is A Talented Psychic Seadweller Rescues From Drowning A Renegade Threshcutioner Bent On Revenge And They Attempt To Build A Moirallegiance As They Gather A Team To Find The Cruel Subjugglator Who Killed His Lusus, Until The Unexpected Flowering Of Their Black Passion Leads To The Destruction Of Alternia Through The Release Of Thousands Of Missiles Carrying Nuclear Fission Bombs; There Are Seven Kisses, Three Of Which Are Followed By Explosions And Three Of Which Are Vectors For Nonconsensual Psychic Manipulation.*

It's probably a better movie than this one, too.

*I am assuming that Troll XMFC actually had kissing at some of the places where we had to just yell "kiss already!"
