quislibetAs predicted, J. and I went to see "X2" last night at the Liberty Tree Mall in Danvers. We went early, anticipating long "Matrix"-related lines. But the ticket line was surprisingly nonexistent, although indeed, the "Matrix" fans were there in the lobby -- we could pick them out by sight, at least the ones with long dark coats, all Corey Hart as to the sunglasses.
Not that I have anything against the aesthetic, of course; I had a long dark coat on as well. But I try to tell myself it's different, somehow: for instance, I had a green shirt on. Dark green, but still.
Hey, at least I didn't have any sunglasses on, okay?
As J. pointed out, individually they would have been fine, but standing together like that just set off "dork" alarms. "And there's something about standing around in the mall," she said, "that inhibits coolness."
And then there was the strange parade of people in red Atari t-shirts we saw leaving the mall as we arrived...
My own coolness suffered a blow when a pulled a muscle between my right ear and jaw chewing on an unexpectedly hard caramel during the movie. Nothing too crunchy or chewy for me today.
Oh -- "X2" was fun. There were some parts that didn't make as much sense as they could have, especially at the end, but what can you do?
