Feb. 11th, 2011 03:43 pmInterview 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.
