Jul. 12th, 2006 02:46 pmBack in Melbourne, and off to hack away at my thesis to get my first draft done before uni starts. I have one. more. chapter. And maybe a conclusion to go. The I'm going to re-write the hell of my no-good, bad, horrible introduction and maybe some of the first.
(The minute I get off my Superman Returns high, that is. Which is a bit difficult, considering that I've been listening to the soundtrack obsessively and I want to go see the film AGAIN, for the fourth.)
There's very little I can say about the movie that hasn't been said already: it's a beautiful film. What Bryan Singer brought to X1 and X2, he expounded on in Superman. That however isolated we believe ourselves to be, we're not. That whatever our individual hubris, we can, and are saved by our kith and kin. (And oh, God. It would the ultimate irony if Singer left after the sequel, and Brett Ratner came in to trash everything that came before. Don't do this to another franchise, Byan. Stay for the whole kit and caboodle. I'm still in mourning over X3)
