Muppets and X-Men, Oh My!

They're not even trying to hide the slash any more.

In Episode 25, Statler and Waldorf break up--I kid you not. Episode 24 has a nice parody of X-Men, but the real highlight is Poseidon: The Musical. I mean, there's no way you can pass that up; you just have to watch it.

Oh, Statler. Oh, Waldorf. Never failing to bring both the slash and the meta.

Oh, and speaking of X-Men: The Last Stand, I saw it.

Cut for Spooliers )

Don't get me wrong, there was a lot that I loved--I think this movie did a decent job of exploring issues of hate and intolerance, the action movie elements were diverting, the high schoolers were will-to-powery, and a lot of the character moments were really great. If they could have left me with a smile on my face(or, alternately, in tears), my overall impression would have been positive with flaws. As it is--

Well, there was still a lot that I loved. Most of the people on the flist seemed to either really like it or really dislike it, and I can understand why. Still, I find myself somewhere in between.
