X-Men Origins: Wolverine
This morning I went to the courts, fully intent on working on my free throws. Just as I was warming up my shooting, some guy I'd played with before waved me over. I looked at him and hesitated, but then agreed to join him.
It was just a social three on three thing, and his girlfriend was even playing. I was a little surprised, because she was boxing out better than Mike. It's always hard to play against a girl - they can go 100% against you but you can't do the same to them.
The game then turned into a four on four with the addition of a guy and his girlfriend. The guy looked like he had just come out of an ancient Chinese film, I thought it was funny. Another funny thing was that one guy on my team played shit but started scoring when he changed teams. I need to give a name to that transition.
We added another couple of guys and it turned into a five on five full court game. I knew that with a double header looming tomorrow that I shouldn't tire out my legs, but I really felt like some full court action.
One of the guys that joined was named Stuart. As soon as I saw him I knew I'd seen him somewhere before, but couldn't put my finger on it. He even said the same when he saw me, and I think during the game we were both trying to figure it out. I'm pretty sure it wasn't from basketball because I don't recognise his basketball style. I thought he may have been one of Ele/Tracy's friends from poker, but he said he'd never played poker at the uni.
We just played up to 21 and then most of them left, so I left as well. I went home, had a shower and headed out to the city. By now it was like 1pm, and I hadn't even had breakfast yet, so I went to eat at KFC. The chick who served me was kinda cute, but I didn't like her giving me one huge piece of chicken and one tiny piece.
I then went to the markets to try and get a fake tattoo, but I think the lady I spoke to didn't work there because she didn't want to do my business at all. Anyway, I went upstairs to the shops to look for a present for mother's day, and ended up buying a scarf. I also bought two white bball jerseys because they were get one buy one free for $20. I already have a black one and it's pretty good, but the only thing with these is that they're XXL, so they're a bit long on me. The ones that did fit were $40 and I haven't received my pay for the month yet so I have to ration.
I then went to watch Wolverine, I was pretty excited, hehehe. During the early trailers the screen just went blank for a while, which was pretty disappointing, because it was the Terminator trailer, and it looks alright. The other must-watch is Transformers!
Anyway, I can't believe how good Wolverine was! How awesome was the intro!! If I was the director and someone suggested that idea of them fighting in the war, then pausing it to show the names of the cast, then continuing onto the next war and so on, I would've said no because I could picture it as very unoriginal. But they managed to pull it off, creating an intense pumping up of the whole movie!!
Like I've said before, movies where a character leads an isolated life always seems to appeal to me, and this was no exception. Although I definitely wouldn't mind living in the mountaings with that girl who played Kayla Silverfox.
This was seriously one of those movies where I was interested in every second and didn't want to miss a beat, and I really really didn't want it to end. It was a beautiful mix of action, plot and romance. The other really cool part was the showing of the other mutants being locked up.
After watching the movie, it's done two things: 1) confirmed even more my decision not to go to Michelle's thing; and 2) given support to my nomadic ways.
I think they should make a movie for each X-Men character, and just try to milk as much money as they can from it, and then they can delve more into each story. If they did that I'd watch every single one.
