Exclamation of the day: "Really?! She's emoting?!?! I can't tell!!!!!"
Today's exclamation is brought to you by Blake Lively's & January Jones' acting.

It seemed like a good idea to watch Green Lantern and X-Men: First Class back to back. What I forgot to factor in was the badness of the actresses' acting.

So. GL first then.

This is it. I cannot hold onto my belief that DC punk'd us and made Ryan Reynolds The Flash instead of a GL now. D: /big no

Hotshot flyboy and his hotrod. Typical.
Urgh... Inability to emote irks me.
Indian tech? Seriously??
Didn't they do that sort of aerial dogfight in Ironman?
Mousy prof with pornstache reminds me of Earl and Discrete Pete. I miss Earl and Discrete Pete... :(
Abin Sur is Jango Fett!
Clancy Brown is Cthulhu Parallax error!
Michael Clarke Duncan is Kilowog! (Mmm... Delicious!)
Geoffrey Rush is Tomar-Re?! So zen and mentor-like!
Obligatory training montage complete with what sounds like Eye of the Tiger BGM. I put on the real Eye of the Tiger as the BGM in my mind!jukebox.
Those guardians sure reminds me of the Jedi Council...
I was just asking how can they not realize GL is Hal with a green domino mask on and Blake saw through his disguise and bad attempt to make his voice sound deep and husky--like Batman.
Didn't they do the crowd panicking scene in Armageddon? And Independence Day? And Day after Tomorrow? And Men In Black? And-- ...again, I could go on.
John Stewart is there too?! Where?!?! I can't remember... Must be too unimportant... More of him next film?

And of course, Hollywood cannot have Mark Strong be a good guy for long. He'll be back as the villain we know Sinestro to be in the next film. Urgh... That yellow costume totally clashes with your skin tone. /flaming gay voice

Bro thinks the movie tries to do too much too soon and doesn't have a coherent enough story. Seems like this movie is just filmed to pave the way for the next one. I think it's pretty weak, a gross miscast of RR as Hal and the apparent lack of chemistry between RR & BL is just urgh. Bro and I both can see RR as Guy Gardner instead of Hal Jordan if he really must be a GL. I still want him as Flash though. He'd make a good Wally West--although I can't really see him as a redhead. Maybe that's why they cast him as Hal instead. Lol...

~~~~~

And now for XM:FC.

So many people I know playing characters without names!
James Remar (Raiden!) as US General.
Ray Wise (The Devil!) as Secretary of State.
Oliver Platt as that CIA who helped them. Credited as Man In Black Suit, or MIBS.
Brendan Fehr (that guy from Roswell aka Booth's lil brother in Bones) as Comms Officer on ship of Michael Ironside (BUGS!)
Tony Curran (Invisible Man/Vincent Van Gogh) as another MIBS. WTF WHEN DID HE APPEAR?! I suppose since he *is* the Invisible Man, my not noticing him is justified.

Prof X is douchey. And uses bad pick-up lines. Even though he is a mind reader.
Fassbender reminds me too much of Hamm. Hamm-lite? *incredibly lame pun*
Bacon is starting to look old... Although his energy-reabsorbing powers is pretty nice but saying that his powers keeps him looking young is a lil pushing it. Love the mutton chops though. ;)
Moira does not have a Scottish accent?! Moira is not a geneticist?!?! Moira is a CIA agent?!?!?! WTF movieverse?!?!?!?!?!
I dubbed the guy who fling cyclones Juarez since they don't call him by name a lot--or indeed, at all. Too bad he's really called Janos Quested instead. Meh, close enough.
Bamf-fighting is still so cool! Who was he in Earth-616 again?
Another red-skinned bad guy. There's gonna be another one next month in the form of Elrond Agent Smith Red Skull in Capt A (I still want Captain Awesome to be Captain America though... /sigh).
Speaking of red, the ginge caught my eye again. Rupert Grint lookalike? <3 him more with those awesome round shades. I want one of those! He is Banshee so he'll have a daughter that I happen to share a name with. Heh!
Black dude gets it first man... It's always the black dude.
How did--? Isn't he--? Huhwuhhuh?! Alex Summers aka Havoc, younger brother of Scott Summers aka Cyclops, was recruited first? And apparently an older brother now?! WTF movieverse?!?!?!?!?!
McCoy is so dorky cute! His scenes with Raven are so d'aww... And then he mentioned she looks 20 even though she is really 40. Hmm... Cradle-robbing? Cougar??
Raven morphing into Romijn!Mystique is awesome! They look kinda alike too!!
Speaking of Romijn!Mystique, uncredited cameo by Jackman!Logan is hilarious!
Speaking of uncredited cameo by Jackman!Logan, all the scenes of Xavier-Lehnsherr gallivanting around the world recruiting other mutants is so fun! They look like they are having so much fun too!!
Speaking of them gallivanting, thanks for putting them in the same bed for us, Fox. <3
Pixie girl is Lenny Kravitz's little girl?! Like woah...
Woman in an all-white outfit with skirt seated in a dim windowless interrogation room makes me want her to uncross her legs ala Basic Instincts. Hurhur... Too bad Emma Frost did not do it. :(
Vintage 60s cars are so drool-worthy. <3

Fassbender to Bacon: I agree with you. Unfortunately, you killed my mother.
Me & bro: Prepare to die. XD
Fassbender: *proceeds to kill Bacon with a coin*

All in all, the movie was not too bad. Even if they butchered the hell outta the established canon. I hope the next guy who takes a whack at it will be able to keep up the good work laid forth by Bryan Singer (who also did the ground work for the first X-Men film) and not screw it up like X2, X3 and Wolverine Origins. D:

I want a charming and badass Gambit, not some scrawny wimpy kid! Preferably played by Josh Holloway. XD
