I guess beauty IS in the eye of the beholder

Hugh Jackman is a sexy beast. That being said, the movie wasn't. It wasn't that bad, but not fantastic too. I expected to see more of Wolverine's origins, more specifically, his experiences in all the different wars along with his relationship with Sabretooth. Instead, they skimmed through the different battles and past experiences to get to the main storyline. Considering the time constraint, I guess it wasn't their fault, but wouldn't it be cool to see Wolverine and Sabretooth in France ripping apart the German army? Or maybe taking part in the gulf war, just as seen in the comics?

I'm no expert in camera angles, but some of them were weird to me. Ok, maybe not weird, but not what we usually see. Zooming in on a truck from high above and moving foward at the same time? It didn't feel right at the time. Plus the exact camera angle for two different scenes when the truck rolled by left me wondering if they could've done something different. I like Deadpool a lot, a pity so little screen time was given to him. Considering he became the big boss at the end. Who got decapitated. Oops, spoiler, but who cares? Not like anyone actually understands that the ugly dude with the stitched lips is actually Wade Wilson. If you're not into Marvel and mutants, you probably won't understand different characters' roles in the movie as opposed to the comics. "Omg is that the son?"--Cheryl. "I know who that is! Jean Grey!"--Again, Cheryl. Of course, wrong on both counts.

Missed BBQ to go movie, too bad I can't have the best of both worlds. I really wanted to see Cheryl drunk and get a little high myself. Just a little. Oh well, tomorrow is another day, and the day after that, starts a new block. And so ends Consumer Lifestyle Research, which went pretty well. Glad that MeiSin praised us for being the best group. Time to hand out the 'A's yo.
