X Men - (Not 10 dudes, Mutant men, Mutant men)


Hello Nerds!

            Guess what day it is.... well... when I wrote this it was hump day, and also the release of X MEN DAYS OF FUTURE PAST!!!!!!!!!!! WOOOOOOOOOOOOOW!!!!!!

            Yes, today the newest installment of the ongoing Xavier with hair, only this time we get drugs, bathrobes, weeds, the 70’s, Mystique (and yes, still as naked as ever), more drugs, depression, and a very fast running stoner guy, Peter Dinklage… So basically just the 70’s.

            The movie recaps events from the first movie, Charles is in a depression, Erik is locked up in jail (not like he’s not used to it… I mean the Holocaust probably prepared him for it, right?), Logan (after being sent back in time by Kitty Pryde) who’s still so fraking buff after how many movies over how many years? (14 BLODDY YEARS!!!!!!!) He is sent back in time to stop a war between humans and mutants, which is weird, because ‘mutant’ should then be stretched to anyone with a genetic disease… which means that Humans were killing kids with Autism… and that’s just wrong… Then there is the Brotherhood, led by/included Erik, a little Jewish brat who survived the Holocaust and who still harbors dark feelings for his mother being shot in front of him, not cool Shaw! NOT COOL! I would elaborate more, but that would spoil things for some people.

            X-men (which in my minds mean 10 men, and not “men under Xavier” but I’m just a Roman Numeral Nerd) has been around for 51 years, which means something must be going right for them, I mean, if this blog goes on for 51 years… I would have to be pretty darn appealing to you all, but I’d bet that won’t happen. X Men, as stated before comes from the non-direct translation of Xavier’s men, his “team” of mutants with superpowers usually under the leadership of Scott or “Cyclops” but I’d bet money that most of us consider Wolverine the leader of the team, he’s definitely the Alpha-Male (he he he wolf pack joke)
            I would fervently recommend this movie to any-one who doesn’t understand time paradoxes, and for those who do I would extend a warning: you may be confused because of little holes in the movie, but it’s not as bad as say…Back to the Future.
So go forth my flock, and watch this awesome movie blockbuster that will entertain you for one afternoon, maybe once more a month later, and then will sit on your shelf collecting dust with all the other movies you have, and have an awesome time.
