I really liked the move. I thought the acting was good. Though Luther's chickie was obnoxious, I think thats all the actress can play since every time I see her shes playing obnoxious. But she plays it well.
So, for the earlier discussion of Superman/godfigure, the PVP comic did something amusing on that today http://www.pvponline.com/archive.php3?archive=20060627

I derive this good feeling from being evil.
Getting to see Superman this morning, and having my friend tell me he hates me because I saw yet another movie he cant wait to see for before him (I did it for all the new Starwars and the first XMen)

I Larp, so the line between rp-ing and real can get pretty blury. You are dressing like the characters, acting like the characters, and engaging in the scenes. Sometimes your character really doesnt like another, and bad things can happen. Some people in my games have a difficult time realizing this is not because anyone dislikes them as a person, but their character or their characters actions. A big problem is that many people make characters similar to themselves, so if you dislike their character you must dislike them as well.
A friend of mine stopped talking to me for about a month because our characters got in a fight and his got killed because he kept sticking his nose where it didnt belong. He decided this was me taking out my personal hatred of him, why he decided this I still dont know... I think it had something to do with me being friends with his x-girlfriend...
Finding a character you can play, and you can easily interact with in the larger group, and trying to avoid the In-Character/Out-of-Character confusion can be hard... but its fun too...

I had a real hard time connecting when I used firefox, but when I used explorer I was fine? but maybe it was just the timing because about 20 min later I tried it on firefox again and was fine. that was around 2

Get fingerprinted so I can work with children mwahaha... (but since I didnt make an appointment to get it done it probably wont happen...)

I suppose I will "argue"

Yeah, the way Prof X died was traumatic. Yeah two guys watching someone they respect die like that is traumatic. But there was no emotional connection to the characters in this movie. Had we been allowed to make the emotional connection then his death would have been heart wrenching. But the connection to the character was lacking.

The Bobby/Pyro thing also makes sense to me. The rejection of Mystique makes sense to me.

nothing in this world seems affordable to me anymore... I suppose that is the curse of the college student however, all the money that doesnt go to classes, food, and housing now goes to insanely expensive gas...
