Birthday Girl
I spent my first drunken outing in Cambridge at the weekend. The way Little Un went on about how dull the bar life is in Cambridge, I was expected something towards Chorley's standard, but no! We spent the first part of the evening in a really nice bar which made damn good cocktails, and moved on to an almost quaint indie club afterwards. And neither places broke the bank account. Now apparently these are the only two good places to go out in - but I would much rather have just two really good places to go out in than hundreds of crappy bars which charge you the value of all your vital organs for jsut one round. To be honest, since moving to London I've had the crappiest social life ever, cause I can't afford one! So it was a great pleasure to have a night out in Cambridge - not the mention the celebration of my Little friend's 24th birthday. Now if only I'd remembered to bring her sodding present...
X2
Oh my. How amazing was X2? I can't even begin to express how brilliant this film is. Who would have thought I could care about an action movie, cause dammit I cared about every single character in that movie. And everytime I think about the ending I get shivers. Giddy shivers. Brilliant, truly. Bryan Singer - I hope you become the richest and best director in all the world, cause you're well on your way - I just pray he doesn't ever deliver balls ups like some of the other greats. X2 just wiped the floor with things like Attack of the Clones. To be honest, I think I may end up enjoying this movie more than the Matrix (sorry Dan, I know it's blasphemy) - because as fabulous as the concept for the matrix is, and as amazing as the fighting and special effects are - I just am not as involved in the characters. There's nothing wrong with them, I just don't quite take to them like I do to Wolverine and Jean Grey and Rogue, and Nightcrawler (man, he is true brilliance - isn't it brilliant to see Alan Cumming in a high profile role?). X2 has the characters AND the amazing fights and special effects - okay, they're not quite in the same league as the matrix, but they're still exciting and tension building. And not a bit of fighting CGI in sight - that's what really blew about films like DareDevil (hated it), CGI people climbing up church organs. None of that in X2, but I noticed a worrying amount of it in the Matrix trailer alone. Praying that that's the lot of it - cause I hate human CGI - it looks crap.
Go and see X2!!!!! Now, I tell you!
