Fantastic 4:Rise of the Silver Surfer
Rather questionable spoilers...
Finally went and saw the movie today with
julzbat.
A LOT better than I expected after hearing the reviews.
Having only seen the first movie for the first time a couple of weeks ago, I was fairly fresh on my take and would even lean towards the 2nd movie being better.
They both have their weaknesses in terms of canon-ness, but I felt the romance in the first movie really overtook the actual plot (which is a pet hat romantic sub-plot is not supposed to be THE plot of the movie), while in the 2nd movie, because it's an established relationship...although it has it's quirks and screen time it's not the in your face eye-gazing.
Would have loved for more "extraordinary powers" screentime, but what they had worked.
Overall pretty good acting, and character interactions. PLus it's nice to see our long term supervillains can focus more than on their own desires for world domination when there is about to be NO world...NOT (and the USA government/military was once again shown in a somehwat negative light).
Mmmm...also managed to get the delicious vegetable pie that's always sold out (first time I've had it in almost 2 years, darn it's delicious)
NB...do you know that lj works a whole lot better when you remember to press the POST button at the bottom of the screen *shakes head at own stupidity*

on 2007-08-05 08:41 am (UTC)This is Team Hermions speaking, new owners of the ASAKURA TWINCEST CLUB (http://community.livejournal.com/asakuralove), cordially inviting you to join now this amazing community!
Celebrating news of the soon-to-be new volume of the Shaman King manga, and after miraculously surviving the Strikethrough on LJ, we are once again opening the oh so missed twincesty community!
Unfortunately, because of LJ regulations, we are forced to make the community friends locked from now on, meaning you need to have added us to your friends list before being able to view and/or post on it… But anything to keep our little Hao/Yoh heaven running, right?
This is why we are mailing this invites for you to take a look and hopefully join, cavort in the goodness that is the Asakura Twincest and spread the much neglected love!
Anyway, please, at least come take a look, and, in the case you no longer are a fan, but still have fanwork of any type, it’d be much appreciated if you joined anyway, if just to share your old work with the rest of the fans. We promise we’ll do our best to keep this com rolling, and that no post shall go unanswered and no fanfic unreviewed!!
Thanks for all!
Team Hermions ~<3
