I officially call “creepy-uncles around a secret room ” as my next band’s name.
Also, the caption alone on Chris Mindfreak made me choke-laugh. WINNER WINNER CHICKEN DINNER, SAM.
Also? I can’t feel my legs. I want to make sure you heard that.
Can I play bongos? I am so so good at creepy uncleing.
I HOPE YOU DON’T MIND MY USING HDJM TO WAGE WAR AGAINST CRISS ANGEL.
Can you repeat it? I don’t think the gravity of the situation set in properly.
(omg yay i am glad you read it)
I love this. And I love you for writing it. And I cannot use enough words to describe how hot Michael Fassbender is.
I love you for reading it! I also love that we are in accordance on the Michael Fassbender description issue! I keep trying and it inevitably devolves into a lot of grunting and pointing.
“This stranger is so handsome and he’s wearing the hell out of that outfit, so WHY DO WE FEEL LIKE WE ARE ABOUT TO DIE PAINFULLY? But omg look at those shoulders.”
THIS WAS BASICALLY ALL MY FEELINGS THROUGHOUT THE FILM. also, january jones what happened to the rest of your clothes?
oh, magneto. i had thought ian mckellen was the only one who could make that helmet not look stupid, but fassbender did me all kinds of proud.
SHE HAD A LOT OF IMPORTANT BUSINESS TO ATTEND TO AND A COVERED MIDRIFF WOULD HAVE PREVENTED THAT.
If anybody can have a head for helmets, it’s probably Fassbender.
I WANT TO READ THE FANFIC VERSION OF THEIR STORY… just saying. During the entire movie, I decided the real reason they became enemies was because their affair ended badly. I wanted them to make sweet mutant love and adopt the younglings and live happily ever after.
Just me?
Also, if I looked like January Jones, I would never wear anything to cover my belly. Ever. And then I would stare at myself all day for having the perfect belly and being able to wear white without spilling anything on it.
You did a GREAT job recapping this. Creepy-uncleing is my new favorite verb.
THAT’S WHAT THE INTERNET IS FOR! I can’t really think of a worse ending for a relationship than accidental gun paralysis, so…I agree completely.
HAHA I wonder how a lot of attractive people manage to get anything done! When my hair looks decent I sometimes forsake eating in favor of staring in the mirror. I can’t imagine what it’s like to wake up looking like January Jones every day.
Thank you so much! :D
I just saw this last night, so I can finally read your reveiw and I’m so happy I waited, because now I totally know exactly what you’re talking about!
Although I did understand Raven’s choice more. Charles had been treating her like a pet since he found her (I actually thought “Dude, she’s not a kitten you found on your amazing acreage! You can’t just keep her!”), and Hank pretty much reinforced that idea when he was such a dillhole to her. Erik was the only one who said sweet things about her pretty blue body. Never-mind that he also used animal terms instead of “you’re a pretty, smart, awesome young woman and your foster brother’s a sexy, smart SEXY meanie head who doesn’t appreciate either of us”. But then you can only expect so much from a kid torture-raised by a Creepy-Uncle.
I loved LOVED the genuine teenager-ness of the kids! Too often it feels forced and insincere, but those actors felt like real kids who have finally realized they’re with peers who UNDERSTAND THEM! Like when Dancers get together and show off all their tricks.
:D :D
I can objectively see where Raven was right, but in my feelings I was just like AT LEAST SAY GOODBYE, MY GOD.
And yes, exactly! I’m not sure they were meant to be teenagers, but I liked that even if they weren’t, they sort of reverted back to that stage because they probably didn’t have that kind of companionship when they were kids.
Thank you for reading!
Yeah, I suppose she could have said good-bye, but I felt like she was saying “Good-bye?” to Charles the whole movie, he just wasn’t listening. All of their interactions were basically her checking to see if he still thought of her as a Pet, and him confirming that yes, he thought of her as less than human. Or mutant. Her not saying the words seemed to be her final declaration of independence. And while I don’t agree with their methods after the fact, I’m pretty much on Erik and Raven’s side in this situation.
super late in the game, but i just saw this and wanted to find a funny recap/commentary. great job! love the comment about the toothbrushing… my sister said the exact same thing during the movie!
the big question my family was shouting at the tv was “why don’t you kill kevin bacon right now????” during the NEIN scene in the beginning…
