Almost negligible SPOILERS ahead (because it's a prequel what, right!) but just in case.
It really was awesome, haha. The whole Professor X/Magneto friendship was played out so well by James McAvoy and the other actor (who I am not acquainted with but kinda looks like Daniel Craig). The relationship was so convincingly done, and it makes you kinda just get it, you know; how it all turned out between them and the quiet understanding they have of each other. Like, I know where you stand but this is where I stand, and there's nothing we can do about it. So heartbreaking.
Also, it has to be said, when Kevin Bacon plays the villain, ohhhhman: SO EVIL!!! He is so good at playing bad guy; I wanted to wring his neck myself.
I feel like I haven't had a good hero movie in a while, and this was great. (I really hope I have not been biased too much by McAvoy's presence in the cast; the guy had won me over long ago with his talent. plus he's Scottish! I feel like I've become incapable of objectivity.)

Something I watched today: 7 Rules for Making More Happiness.
It says: Keeping a diary supports personal development.
I agree! I don't know if I've become much to speak of; but having this blog, and also other more private places where I chronicle my thoughts and life, has enabled me to chart my progress or lack thereof. It helps me in the looking back, and like, ohmygod, I can't believe I was like that! with accompanying face-palming. Or more self-affirming: because I was thus, so I am now. Or the important little things that make up who you are and the persons who lie behind the entries, mentioned or not. And what I lacked back then, that hopefully, I've learnt to acquire now. It makes me a bit more confident of life; when I stumble on something, I like to think that hey, maybe this episode will bring something new to my personal tapestry.
