X Men 3 - The Last Stand

Today, I went to see X Men 3 - The Last Stand.

This was a really good action flick. The story was there, and lots of explosions and the like. As well, many characters get killed off. (I won't mention them here, since it would ruin the movie for you). However, one major star gets a lot of money for about twenty minutes worth of footage in the film.

The premise of the movie, which causes the big war, is the father of Angel, who wants to cure his son by injecting him with a medicine that suppresses his mutant gene permanently. Of course, there are mutants who want this, and ones who don't. Magneto takes on the side where the mutants rally together and fight the humans who want to cure them.

That is a strong message. It's similar to in the early 50's or 60's (1950's, 1960's) where people considered homosexuality a disease, and that it needs to be cured. Being a mutant is not a disease... Perhaps the comic strips were created to combat this fact? I have absolutely no idea.

Unfortunately, I left before the credits finished rolling, and missed the bonus scene. That's why I tend to stay until the movie is over (credit-wise), while some people are impatient and go right away.

Oh yes, and today was spent with Roman and Leo. I got a call from Roman today, who wanted to meet at 7:30 p.m., and then we would walk over to Beaudry metro station for 8:00 p.m.. We got there, and met his friend. We had some dinner (Chinese food in the village), and then we went and saw the movie. After, we walked the friend back to the village, and we originally thought that we would go to a bar and get drunk. However, I can't drink alcohol, and Leo didn't want to drink either, so Roman didn't drink alone, as he claimed that drinking alone and getting drunk alone is no fun. He also wanted to hit Club Date (karaoke club) after drinking, but since we didn't do the first part, the second part couldn't happen.

We walked Leo to his street, and then we walked back towards downtown. We considered going for a cold beverage, but Roman suggested that we go to a Provigo (A supermarket chain) to see if there are cold beverages that we can buy before hitting a 24-hour cafe. Unfortunately, we didn't find anything, so we went to Tim Horton's, and we both had an Iced Cap. I had mine with chocolate milk, and a large size, while Roman had his in a small size, with a shot of raspberry seasoning. I didn't finish my large, as it was about 2:15 p.m., and Roman had to catch his bus at 2:30 p.m.. We hugged, and his hand patted my back, and we left.

Roman was also telling me about a guy whom he suspects to be gay at his work. He likes him, but he assures me that he doesn't want to date him. (I have no idea why he told me that, it's not like we're dating) At first, I told him that I tend to let people approach me, since that way, I wouldn't have to confront people who are not comfortable talking about it, or people who are closeted. But, I suggested that maybe what he can say is, "You seem like a cool guy, and I rarely get to talk to you during break, maybe we should hang out some time." However, he told me that they're already friends. Roman was invited to this guy's birthday party, so he said that what he'll do is go to the birthday party, and see his friends. If most of them are straight men, then he's either straight, or he's really closeted. I suggested that he do that, and Roman told me that he'll let me know. (Again, no idea why I need to know, it's not like we're dating, or he's going to set me up with him)

Today, I also went to Archambault and I bought the sheet music to Christina Aguilera's second album - Stripped. I also bought two DVDs for $25 (it was in their deals section), I bought Celine Dion - On ne change pas DVD, with all her French music videos, as well as Ice Age - Super Cool (Collector's) Edition. Probably something I shouldn't have done, but I also got two applications to work at Archambault, and I filled them out this afternoon. I'll bring them back as soon as possible.

Alright, enough ranting/bitching about Roman for today/tonight.
