Cinematic Awesomeness

Each trailer I see for Xmen:the Last Stand sends my inner comic geek screaming with joy.  When I rediscovered comics late in high school, Uncanny X-Men was the gateway.  Seeing bits and pieces from the movies, especially the uses of mutant powers or scenes lifted right out of the comics, sets off little endorphin bombs of glee in my brain.

As for endorphin bombs of a different sort...

I finally watched Secretary last night.  Very good, very hot movie.  The hottest part of the movie for me?  The scene where Maggie Gyllenhall's hands are on the desk, and James Spader's hand is right next to hers.  After a point, Maggie's pinkie slides over and curls tightly around James' finger.  It's a subtle little thing, but it conveys so much hotness.  Yow.

Love that movie. Another scene which is my fav is when the ex comes in and she pins Maggie as a sub, and shortly after the "sub" snaps and gets bitchy. Every time I see a typewriter I still chuckle.

I got to see the secretary, with a group chosen from the SM scene in SF...

it was 40 people in all black, and then the Press.. (giggle)

SO:
there was half the crowd cheering, laughing, crying - and half the crowd - busily takeing notes....

After the movie - we went as a group to dinner - and discussion - it was enlightening - because - may of the people in the group - did not ever meet someone who was a self cutter in the Scene before.

which boggled MY mind.

But yeah ! it is SO sweet and romantic. -sigh-
