I was going to go as Mystique this year
or failing that, Silk Spectre. I have not been invited to any parties :(

Is Silk Spectre the well slutty one?

More so in the film than in the graphic novel, but yes.

Win!
She was the best thing about the film.

The worst being that it was shit and too long and made no sense with all the giant clocks made of ice and the giant man made of magic.

It made sense if you've read the graphic novel...
I thought it was an excellent adaptation, myself.

I rather liked it as well
felt too long though, but I think I saw the uncut version first time round

This is the trouble with adapting any kind of book as a film
you will always end up with a film that's too long for comfortable viewing if it's faithful to the book, or you end up with a film that people whine saying it's not got this or that bit in it as you have to make some cuts.

Best thing to do is adapt a badly written book but with a good concept that no-ones read.

I really enjoyed it
can understand why they changed the end too.

only trouble with it was that ozymandius was a bit of a wet gayboy in the film, whereas he was super hardcore in the book. and the smartest person in the world, which was only alluded to in the film because he said it.

Yeah, he was annoyingly limp
have you spotted the bit where Night Owl and Rorschach are hacking in to his computer and there's a folder that says 'boys'?

Oh, yes, I remember
You can still come to my home tomorrow just to watch tv, drink and relax. It'll be only the two of us, though. I know it's not very apealing, but I have party today and I'm off to Birmingham on Sunday.

If it's this weekend
I doubt I would have time to cobble a costume together by then! I lent my sewing machine to someone :(

Ghost

OR
Stay at home, and tell people you were there as a ghost, and they'll think your costume was amazing.

So you can steal my awesome ideas?
And sell them as your own?
