Today I watched the X-men movie again. This time through a veil of knowledge learnt from fan fiction and roleplay and canon sources. It was a very different experience. And I think the others found it disconcerting when I laughed at something that's only funny if you've got the inside knowledge I've got.

What I got out of the movie this time: (1) The L/R shippers are right, there is major tension there. I still don't think I like the consummation of it, though. It just doesn't mesh with my image of Wolvie. Which I admit, is fairly highly tinted by comic canon. (2) I love Scott. So much. He's fantastically brilliant and can the people who say he has no personality in that movie please stop drooling at Hugh or at Mystique's cleavage or whatever it was they were doing rather than actually watching it. There's this sly humour running through his entire character that I just adore. (3) Storm seriously needs more air time. I'm praying for it in the sequel. (4) Sabretooth's a moron. I don't know much about him as a character, but honestly, is he supposed to be that stupid? How did someone that dumb survive as long as him?

So yeah. Then I supervised K^r at bar. She played Rammstein very loudly and we moshed. Then I translated some lyrics for her, and I thought she was going to tell me she didn't want to come to the concert any more. Honestly, I could have told her that Rammstein were really not Nice Boys, and in fact went out of their way to be offensive. But she got over it remarkably quickly and started giggling, and asking me what this song was about, and this one, and this one...

Three days till Rammstein. Damn I'm excited.
