I find myself not caring. The only person I liked was Quicksilver. Everybody else acted like they were having root canal surgery. Yes, yes. The fate of the world was in their hands and that is serious but I still couldn't work myself up to care. Ah, the ennui. I know. Let's find new stories to tell.
Oh, look a soap box.
At the end of the film, a card flashed that said 15,000 people worked to bring this film out. It didn't say though were those people worked. The film was shot in Canada so it was largely a Canadian crew that made it. Most of the effects and 3-D transfer was done in Asia. So, I'm supposed to care about saving those jobs when a lot of my friends in the film business are struggling to get jobs, even thinking about retirement it so bad here in the film capital.
And isn't there something wrong with the business model if it takes 15000 people to make a movie? Shouldn't film makers strive to make the best film for the least amount of dollars rather than Brink's trucks full of money at the film? I'm just saying.

So much for the flickr badge idea. Dammit
