I (finally) saw X-Men: The Last Stand today. Twice. I talked my Team Lead into letting us see “a training film” this morning. He agreed… and he went with us. I liked the movie and was pleased to find that Brett Ratner did a bang-up job of bringing the Homo Sapiens – Homo Superior war to a head. I think that he created a piece of work that was worthy being included in a trilogy with Brian Singer’s movies. There were a couple of things that I didn’t expect. At all. Mostly, I think that this was due to the fact that I made a concerted effort to avoid finding out “too much” about the movie beforehand.

I saw the movie again this evening with . She liked it. As she’s been reading some of the Uncanny X-Men issues, she had some questions about characters and their on-screen counterparts. One of the characters that I tried to explain was Jean Grey/Phoenix (comic book version). I think that I might have broken her head with some of the things. But, she seemed to take most of it in stride.

In a matter of hours, I will be boarding a plane and heading for home.

Namaste.
