Interview went well despite my headache. I was impressed that the interviewer had obviously been trained, e.g. that he asked for teaching re: genderqueer stuff but said it was only if I felt okay with doing so. I did, so it was all good.

X-Men First Class...I'm not overfond of the trailer, it's okay, but how fucking fond am I of SCREEN SF/US HISTORY CROSSOVERS? THIS MUCH. Even if it is one of the bigger dumbass moments of the 20th century.* Seriously, for some reason, US screen SF hasn't interacted much lately with real historical events, at least that I can think of. Historicity makes me happy.

Of course, that leaves so much room for it all to go wrong, and it likely will, but I will just content myself with the thought of the X-Men stopping the Bay of Pigs fiasco with MUTANT POWERS.

Speaking of history and SF, I have a whole rant started on Firefly and the US Civil War, but as it is related to fuck-all happening in fandom, I'm not sure who'd care.

Would you care? If so, lemme know.

* Which is saying something. There were a hell of a lot of them, US-wise.

There were a few films about the CMC about a decade ago (Wikipedia is saying only two?)...but Call of Duty: Black Ops features it pretty closely, which may be part of the rise in interest lately? (Or maybe people are realising just how the Cold War actually can teach us shit? I can only hope.)

I will have to write it. As I said to Sumana, I need to pull together some links so I'm not just spouting stuff without sources.
