Miscellaneous notes
Had a fantabulous time at the huge party this weekend. I really wish I'd had a spare second to count how many people showed up at the high water mark - we had the apartment packed. Tons o' fun. Photos coming soon.
Spent yestereday knocked out with the worst migraine I have had since... I don't know when. Seriously. Three migratine and about 12 hours of sleep later, I got rid of it - only to spend the next 12 hours stoned out of my mind but unable to sleep. Geesh.
I have made the command decision to take today and tomorrow off, yay. Here's hoping it will convince my body that I really am paying attention and that bitching at me via migraines is no longer necessary.
I am vastly disappointed in Roger Ebert's Superman Returns review. Seriously. When did Ebert lose his ability to have a good time at a big summer flick? My review is here.

Personally, I was greatly disappointed by this film.
The plot was rather uninteresting with an uninteresting resolution, and the single plot twist was very predictable. Pacing seemed uneven as well. I think most of the problems I saw stemmed from the fact that they didn't/couldn't make a clear decision whether to start anew from scratch (ala "Batman Begins" or the new "Battlestar Galactica") or continue where the original films left off.
So we get a weird mix, where he's been gone for a while, and so some things have changed, yet some things stayed the same or reverted back to the way things were even though they shouldn't have. So we're left with a romance sorta resuming when we've never seen it start (not with these versions of the characters), yet a villain plotline too similar to that of the first film and characters apparently not remembering what happened then.
That was my take, anyway. Then again, I had higher expectations for this than X3, which I ended up liking.

Oh, and thanks for inviting me to the party. Sorry I couldn't stay longer. Figures that one of the few opportunities I get to socialize ends up having conflicts.

i read eberts review and i think he just missed christorpher reeves. When i read it, it felt more like he was trying to defend a friends peice of work then actually reviewing a movie.
