X3: The Last Stand? the Last. Period.

Just back from X-men 3: The Last Stand

Ok, from the very title itself, I already thought to myself that it sounded kinda iffy. a little off, noe wat I mean? Well, it turned out the title wasn't the only thing iffy about the movie. To sum it up, X3 is the WORST of the X-men series of movies. The WORST! The only thing worth watching it for would be some of the action sequences, and the parts that would be remembered more for its comedic effect than anything else.

The storyline, oh the storyline.. of all the multiple multiverses and multiple timelines that are in existence, they had to create one of their own.. one that SUCKED so bad. A motivating factor that can tear mutants into 2 factions that in my opinion, doesn't even seem that much of a big issue, and *gasp* the death of.... Professor X??? the "nerfing" of Magneto???

Even the obligatory feral Wolverine scene didn't seem as exciting as the ones that came before. I dunno.. What were the directors and producers thinking? They got tired of the X-men and wanted to kill all enthusiasm for it so they never have to make another one? There can surely be no more X4 after this.. they killed and nerfed EVERYONE significant!!

The good parts:
-When Angel took off his restraining leathers and unfurled his wings in a super gay pose.
-When Wolvie went up against a Spines Scrapper (for the CoH players out there)!
-When it was observed that Xavier got himself into a position that could get a good close-up view of Jean's cleavage on the pretext of "getting into her mind".
-When Beast let off a "Oh my stars and garters!"
-Iceman finally got the full-ice look.
-Everytime Wolvie calls Beast "furball", and their comedic banter
-When Juggernaut gives himself a headache (I think he was the coolest in this flick tho. Colossus looked great in X2, and crap in X3..)

Bah.. apart from the above. I'd advise u not to watch it if u were thinking of it. Rent the DVDs of the previous 2 if u have an X-men craving. Give this a total miss. It's that bad. It really is.

Mr & Mrs Wong Chih Hsien!

before I forget, let me put down here now an announcement, that my good kendo buddy and friend Wong Chih Hsien got married on 14 May 2006. It was a grand wedding and there were 3 tables for the Kendo people. Shermaine and I were emcees for the evening. I was really proud to be given the opportunity to help my friend in such an occasion! And Sherm by my side helping with the mandarin delivery. =)

Pictures to follow!

Here's a rare shot of the groom in his civvies, practicing his speech. =)

Wife (to-be)-beater

I gave Shermy a baluku yesterday. We were wrestling, and she decided to tickle me. low blow. I was rolled up in my bedcover and couldn't get out. Struggled like hell. guess what happened? I got my upper body free and somehow planted my elbow in her forehead in my panic! So yea, the gal with the iron head who gives out headbutts for fun, got a bruise on her forehead, above her left eye. A little bit lower and I mite've knocked her eyeball deep into her eyesocket! Anyway, I immediately made an icepack and tried to soothe the bruise with it. Thank god for her fringe, we've got a wedding to attend tmr!! =/

Your Vote Is Secret

Is utter crap. There's a serial number on your voting ticket, and 4 people to register you. 1 to Verify it is you. 1 to issue the voting ticket to you. 2 others you will never know what they're there for. As you get your ticket, they shout your number to the other 2 for god noes what. It is entirely possible to trace back who you voted for. Another notch in the Elections Department I guess.
