Yeah, I remember well your loathing of the X Files.
Frank Miller did damage Batman. It irks me to hear, "I like the new Batman films because they're dark, just like Batman used to be in the beginning." No, he wasn't all that "dark" until Frank Miller took over decades after the beginning. Yes, he had darker moments. Yes, he had brutal moments. But, generally he was a serious and focused detective more than anything.
Marvin isn't feeling better yet. I'm about to do a brief update about that.
I should've known you'd see The X-Files (we went opening night and there were fewer than 10 people there)! I had mixed feelings. I went in with NO expectations since the reviews were so awful (but I read as little as possible about it beforehand)... I had a hard time with the Mulder/Scully sleeping together bit and I cheered out loud when Scully said, "This is why we can't be together" (or whatever that quote was), but alas, they pandered to the fans who wanted a happy ending for their relationship. Ugh. The story itself was decent, but I can pick it apart if I think too much about it. I guess I mostly enjoyed the nostalgia of seeing them together on the screen again, and I wish there would be future movies but since this one bombed I'm sure that was it.
It totally renewed my HUGE Gillian crush though! Wooo. <3
Yep. I saw it. Julie's probably a bigger fan of the show than I am, so we had to see it. To me it was like a long, really good epsiode of the show. Not a great one, but a really good one. Of course, I thought of you the whole time I was watching it!
And today we watched a bunch of Bowie videos while we had lunch. I have a feeling you guys would get along really well.
Oh, wait, she was singing Beatles songs at one point today.
