You Go First, Yoko

I am pretty sure that tonight’s segment on Late Night with Conan O’Brien with Conan inside of an opaque black bag with Yoko Ono is one of the most surreal things to be aired on national television for a very long time.

X2: X-Men United Is A Bad Name For A Movie

Russ is right. X-Men 2 is in many ways like a remake of The Empire Strikes Back, in the best possible way. I like to think of it as something of an X-Men Vs. The Empire Strikes Back mash-up, myself.

If you look down a bit in that thread, you can read my geeky little comments about the film, but all you really need to know is that the film is very good (definitely the best superhero-derived film that I’ve seen, edging out last year’s Spider-Man), but it would really help to know a bit about the characters if you’re planning on going in as an X-Men novice. You’ll probably get very confused otherwise.
