bad news. my bro just texted me a while ago to say, Xmen3 is the WORST superhero movie of all time. he would even go far as to rate it among his top 10 worst movies of all time.

THAT, my friends, is harsh.

of course, his opinion DOES matter. for a long time, we have been movie buds/critics/analysts, and were virtually on the same wavelength on everything we've seen. what he likes, me also like. generally, we go "wooooooooh!" almost at the same time (small o mouth, body jerks backward at the shock and coolness of the scene before us). laugh almost at the same time.. finish each other's sentences (haha)... ok, you get the drift... so we on the same page most of the time. the only movie we didn't agree on was Lord of the Ring, where he frustratingly couldn't comprehend the importance of the One Ring (he didn't read the book, that's why! but otherwise, he really liked the movie)

so when he tells me, xmen3 is the worst... man, that's really baaaaaaaaaaaaaaad.

without going to say, i'm now having second thoughts on watching the movie. i mean, i don't want to spend a freakin' $8 to watch a crappy movie, regardless of the nice graphics. it's all about the story and characters, y'all (case in point: mr&mrs smith. *shudder).

sigh. and here i was about to make a pre-movie post about the movie. you see, i've been fascinated with the idea of mutants, which is partly why i watch anime and movies, read sci-fi, et al. i'm one of those comic geeks, although i don't have enough money to invest in having her own collection.

sure, sure, the concept of mutants can be related to outcasts, say homosexuals - how they're mistreated by society and all that - but i want to stick to the notion that powers make you special, unique.. and with the right kind of power, you are generally able to make your life a whole lot more interesting.

me, i want teleportation. *giddy delight!

see, it appeals to my wanting to travel. and teleportation would be just downright AWESOME! think about it, no more airplane fees to pay! no more immigration to pass through! i can go to japan whenever i want to! i can go back to pinas indefinitely, and visit vigan, camiguin, bohol, boracay! new zealand to see the LOTR sets! japan! i won't miss out on any special occasions back home, but can still be back in states to continue with studies!

PROVIDED that when i teleport, i can take stuff with me. no use going somewhere if i don't have clothes (ala Time Traveler's Wife). or money (how else am i going to spend and buy stuff?). or a DIGITAL CAMERA! gasp! the horror!

teleportation is, of course, it's a self-serving power. if i were to have one that would benefit mankind, it would be.....









wow. that's hard.... can't come up with anything...



um... i guess it would be time-stopping (ala Piper of Charmed). ok, it's also serving in terms of that i can prolly freeze people for whatever reason i want (shut up! dang he's annoying, better leave the room. i wonder what he'll do if he wakes up and finds an egg, out of nowhere, flying in his direction). ooooh. wait. must help others. ok, i could stop things from falling on people, say a building... but then again, i freeze everything right... i'd have to move every single person out of the way. arg. too much hassle... let's see.....





hm. i will seriously consider telekinesis and telepathy. very useful.



or... water manipulation! that'd look awesome! and bloody flexible, too -- i can make it gas, solid, liquid!


or... earth-related! i can make things grow! re-forest everything! make pretty pretty flowers!

or... dang.. i'll come up with a list soon, this is getting long!

okay, one more....

a teleportation power that allows me to bring other people as well!!!!!!!! see, that's not self-serving anymore (because i won't charge fees!). whatever, i want TELEPORTATION POWERS, dangnabit.

that ends my mutant fantasy journal entry. gack, that was long. sooooo, what am i gonna do now...? there IS Batman Begins, which my bro highly recommends. ye, ye i know. that is sooooo horribly late. but people, we're talking about 8 freakin' bucks! for one sittin'! this ain't the philippines, folks!!!

anyway, til next post! BAMF!
