I just saw X-Men Origins: Wolverine and I liked it. I'm not going to apologize for that in the same way that the over-laugher who sat next to me in the theater isn't going to apologize for every loud and incorrect prediction he made during the movie. "Terminator, " he assuredly bellowed during the preview for Pandorum. "Gambit," he confidently exclaimed during Deadpool's first big scene. Whatever, man. People like us don't have to say, "Oops. Not Terminator." or "Oops, not Gambit--There, that's Gambit, heh heh. My bad."
I certainly have no need to say, "I know it's getting bad reviews and also that I'm a grown woman and should maybe be a little more sophisticated but I'm not because, well, I just really like coolness and in my book slow-motion fight scenes equal coolness and--oh, yes--I'm not being ironic or sarcastic or post-modern. I actually just think Wolverine is a good movie."
See ya at Star Trek next week where my buddy will be heard to remark, "There! That's Picard!"
Skadoosh.

I'm married to a loud-laugher-out-loud-commenter. I kind of hate it but I also think it's funny.
ReplyDeleteAny film in which High Jackman spends a significant portion of the time without a shirt cannot possibly be bad. It's been proven with science.
ReplyDeleteI cannot WAIT to see it, and I am not ashamed to say so.
ReplyDeletei love all the x-men movies. can't wait to see this one! ultra cool entertainment indeed, even if i am 35.
ReplyDeleteWe were so close to going yesterday, but changed our minds at the last minute. I wanted to be sure I went with someone who talked often and loudly.
ReplyDeleteAnd here I was feeling that we had NOTHING in common!! Oh, baby, did I go for those worked out bodies---that was AB-solutely the best part of the movie...(heh, heh)
ReplyDeleteNo--seriously---I thought that it was fun and had some pretty significant moments. But I would recommend it as a chick flick----ggggrrrrhhhhh.
I love the slow motion fight scenes too. I use telepathy all the time. I wish everyone did.
ReplyDeleteI used to think Wolverine was good, but then I got some amnesia bullets and I no longer remember.
ReplyDeleteX-men rules, and I HATE action films. Also, Hugh Jackman has been my celebrity crush for about 5 years now.
ReplyDeleteSkadoosh!

ReplyDeleteOh Kacy, I am afraid I have misplaced your address again. I could go hunt it down in the Christmas Address list....somewhere....in my basement. But who has time for that? The box is ready to ship...I tell you what, I'll go get ready and you email me your address. juliekonchar@gmail.com. If I don't hear from you soon, I will open the box and eat the cookies for dinner. You know I will.
ReplyDeleteWe were just talking about this movie and how it's getting bad reviews, but that everybody still seems to love it. We decided we want to see it anyway. So "ha ha" to you movie reviewers!
ReplyDeleteI love Wolverine and I am not ashamed. I can't wait to see the MOVIE "Wolverine" and get all Wolverine action for 2 hours straight. The more slow motion, the better. There.
