Movie

"Wolverine" turned out to be a fun, romp-like adventure. More fan-service than anything else, but when you come down to it, really the only reason to make a comic book movie in general is for fan service. Unless you are making "Electra." Or maybe "Ghost Rider." At that point, you are making movies to torture people.

I saw "Wolverine" with Christina and we had a grand 'ol time. Because we were at the Alamo (FTW) we were shown a grand buffet of clips from shitty superhero television shows and movies past. Most of these clips were amusing, if not hilarious.

After the film, a gentleman came up to me and said, "I don't know if these are for you or for me, but the girls who were sitting between us left these notes."

Notes?

Did these fine bitches leave a number or two for me to call up during one of my late night binges?

After reading one sentence, I realized that they were not complimentary and that, yes, they were intended for me. I present them now, unedited, for your reading enjoyment:

"his laughter is hurting my eardrums! I hope it stops when wolverine starts."

"me too. Never see Once more with feeling at the Alamo. It's like a hundred of him on all sides."

"Wolverine probably isn't so funny........but hopefully wolverine's little witticisms don't crack him up...."

"I wish that 'guy who sat next to me at the alamo' was a choice on that facebook list of 5 people I want to punch in the face."

WOW!

Really?

Now, let me say for the record. I have a loud laugh. Especially when I am at the movies, my laugh can turn into more of a bark. So, I can't say that I don't know what these broads are talking about.

But the things I was laughing about were things that half of the theatre was laughing about as well. It would be one thing if, during the movie, I started cracking up laughing when someone was viciously stabbed. Or if we were seeing a special midnight screening of "Schindler's List" or something.

Secondly, "Once More With Feeling" is an episode of Buffy the Vampire Slayer that the Alamo has sing-a-longs to every now and then. SING-A-LONGS! How can you complain about people making noise during a fucking sing-a-long. That's like going to see the latest Disney movie and coming out pissed because it was animated.

People try my sanity.
