oloriel | Stranger than Fiction, #whatever

X-Men is on TV. The first one, hat is.

It is very bizarre. We have reached the grand climax and I keep thinking "Hah, as if they could do all that unhindered on top of the Statue of Liberty, what with all the anti-terrorism----"

(Admittedly it's kinda silly to go "Wait, this is unrealistic" about a comic adaptation, but hey, that's the beauty of suspension of disbelief. I can totally get behind mutants and telepathy and all that. I just can't get behind weird goings-on on one of the most well-guarded pieces of America...)

And then I kind of realised that the movie was released in 2000. (And duly notice the Twin Towers in the skyline). IT WAS NOT SO UNREALISTIC BACK THEN.

Sometimes reality is so bizarre.
