Are you as excited as i am about the next X-Men movie? Ever since the ending of the 2nd movie, i've been chomping at the bit. We've been counting the days since we saw the 1st batch of posters, 3 months ago. Stephen bought our tickets three days ago on Fandango. I'm as excited as a kid at Christmas! Why, you may ask? it's the Phoenix.
ever since i 1st read about her, when i was in high school, i've been completely fascinated by her story: Jean the Good and Pure becomes Dark Phoenix the
Cosmic Havoc Bringer and all purpose mega-bitch, crushing planets in her fiery claw. it gives me goosebumps. she's the most powerful force in entire Marvel Universe, she's utterly gorgeous and she's completely without reproach. i can only hope that her on-screen persona is like her comic book one. the X-men themselves have always been fascinating to me: these powerful and often incredibly goodlooking (and let's face it: Built like Brick Shithouses) people are outcasts from society because of their genetic predispositions. they live in a world that fears and loathes them. oppressed by the government and living in fear of exposure. does this sound vaguely familiar?
