I'm a dork

The last time I went to the cinemas was months ago. I'm so glad I saw X-Men First Class in cinemas because it made the film so much more gripping and.. well, awesome.

This is one of those moments where language annoys me because I know there's no way in hell that I'll be able to describe how good this movie was and how it made me feel :')

James McAvoy. Swoon.

I don't like to brag about this but I'm so into all that fantasy stuff. Like how the X-men have all those superpowers from their mutations, and how the hypothetical world they live in is divided into mutants and humans. Misfits, another superhero/super-powers show I like, reminds me of X-Men, but with more sex and abrasive British swearing. Don't forget Harry Potter and all that wand-waving action.

And the Final Fantasy franchise was awesome. The Japanese are amazing, with their graphics designing and their storylines. FFX had a really romantic storyline, and by "romantic" I mean involving an "idealised view of reality", not just the love between a man and a woman (although it did have that too). I don't remember it that well, but you really have to wikipedia the storyline because I suck at retelling plots.

It's not just these idealistic storylines that draw me in, it's how they can do awesome stuff! Like how characters can cast fire, thunder, ice and water spells. Fire, fira and firaga (who knows what that refers to?). How people have superpowers like turning invisible, reading minds, scaling buildings, flying, shooting out fire, freezing things, moving metal, etc etc. How they go on awesome, purposeful and moralistic adventures.. None of that shit happens in reality. How unfair.

Yes, it's because of the relatively mundane boundaries of reality that turn us toward fantasy and the ideal. I'm sorry for sounding like a dork. But I later discovered that I had to adapt to the real world, which is why I'm deterred from video games now. Although I allow myself to a bit of fantasy fiction and film :)

One last thing: I remember dreaming (when I was in primary school) that I was a character from DBZ (Trunks' daughter?), and I could fly and shoot power beams. There was this one evil guy in the shape of a cake floating on a river. To defeat him you had to eat him. I remember it tasting pretty good.. and when I woke up my pillow was gone. I'm kidding about the pillow part, but I did have that dream and it was one of the best dreams I've ever had.
