So, just went and saw Priest because Paul Bettany is pretty.

It... wasn't that bad, I guess. It wasn't awesome or anything either. I've noticed Paul Bettany seems to like action-y but religious-y movies. I mean, well, with Legion and then this... Only, while the other characters were spouting 'To go against the church is to go against God' stuff, which only served to remind me that I should have been back in my room studying for my two Renaissance and Reformation finals, in both this and Legion, he's defying religious stuff (in Legion, he's defying Gabriel and all of the other angels because he thinks they're wrong and that God can't want them to do what he says he wants them to do) so yeah. I like him a little bit more for that. He also seems to favor slow-motion action scenes. Also, the 'twist' is entirely predictable, you see it coming like ten miles away. Bones (whose character is named Black Hat?) was cool and badass though. And the vampires are weird and apparently there are different vampire things that are never really explained. Familiars, humans turned, I get, but then there's the blob like thing that's just kind of there and then there's the human vampire and a Queen and oh, it's not like the set it up for a sequel or anything. Really. And, unsurprisingly, I kind of want Priest/Hicks fic, just because. Even if I kind of want to hate Hicks for also being James. I don't know. My brain likes slashing Paul Bettany. Usually with guys who are significantly younger than him (Farid in Inkheart, Jeep in Legion...) so yeah.

Also, through the entire movie, I got to hear two different couples hooking up somewhere behind me. That has never happened to me before. WTF. Made for some seriously awkward quiet moments all across teh theater.

I watched Priest today, too, and during the movie I turned to my friend and said "I wonder how many Priest/Hicks fanfics we can find when we get back to my house". But seriously? I can't deny that I'm a little interested to see how writers do it :)

Just wondering, did you see it in 2D or 3D?

Haha, I haven't found any yet. I keep forgetting that it came out today, though.

I saw it in 3D even though I hate 3D and paying for that ticket made me want to stab myself. I can't wait until next summer when the 3dEVERYTHING trend is set to end. There's like one movie theater near by school and it only plays like 5 things at a time and so I didn't have much of a choice if I wanted to see it, sadly. You?

Yeah, and people are still in school/working so I guess a lot of people haven't actually seen it yet.

3D ticket prices are stupid expensive. I mean, just for matinee here it was $9. But yeah, saw it in 2D.

Was there actually anything impressive in 3D?

Hopefully some ficcage might appear over the weekend or something. I need something to distract me from studying.

Eh, not really. It rained firey ash and stuff and there were a few brief moments where it was interesting, but I spend most of the time wearing 3D glasses trying to keep them on my face because wearing 3D glasses over regular glasses is clearly something no one who thought up such genius ideas ever had to deal with.

Do you finish classes this coming Friday? Man, I feel like my college lets out for summer so early, heh.

I know the feeling. Someone should really invent some kind of 3D film that one could just apply to the lenses of regular glasses for those that are visually impaired.

My schools finals started on Thursday, for some reason, and end next Wednesday. I have no idea why they did this, but I am done on Tuesday, so I only have like 3 days and some odd hours and 3 finals standing in my way. You finished yours?

That would be awesome. Or like virtual reality helmets or something. Or they could just go back to 2D movies, any option would work.

That's...really strange. I finished my last final on the 29th of April and have been home since then.

Haha, a return to 2D movies would be greatly appreciated, too.

Jeez, that is ridiculously early. My brothers school was on Spring Break that week! When did your semester start that let you out that early?

I think we started our spring semester on January 10th.

That is also why I went to see Priest. And then I got bonus Karl Urban and Cam Gigadet and I was like UNF YES ♥ But yeah Paul Bettany does like his religousy movies. He was the albino monk in the DaVinci Code too and I believe he's a priest in The Reckoning although I haven't seen that yet.

I fucking loved it but if you throw in vampires and religiousy themes and Paul Bettany and explosions and fucking fight scenes on top of trains all into one movie I'm gonna be a sucker for it because I am nothing if not a 16 year old boy *g* But yeah I guess they didn't really explain a lot of the plot points, and I'm sure there won't be a sequel because it probably won't do well enough lol Oh well, I'm thinking of reading the comic anyway so that probably has some answers.
