1. Some of my Éowyn icons won in the recently concluded round of lotr20in20! I was like WHAT ADGHJGJHKJOKL :D :D :D Wide won in the Themes Category, while my Artist Choice set won Second Place and my Category - Sequence won Third Place, and this icon won Third Place in the individual icons category. SWEEEEEET. I've entered Round 12 with Faramir as my claim and I'm excited to do himthem!

2. I just watched Chronicles of Narnia: Voyage of the Dawn Treader and overall I was pretty meh about the whole movie. It doesn't help that Susan was my favorite character and she was not featured heavily in it (though I was surprised at how deep her voice has become!), although Eustace had easily won me over. Ben Barnes looks awesome, and is it just me or does he look younger in this movie than in Prince Caspian?

3. I've heard a lot of good things about X-Men:First Class. Have you watched it, flist? What do you think?

Regarding #2: I loved Dawn Treader, but I'm a *huge* Caspian fangirl...and Lucy is my favorite Pensevie child so I had little to be disappointed by I think.

Regarding #3: I watched First Class last weekend and it was AMAZING. I've been a fan of X-Men for many, many years and it did not disappoint in any way, even if, once again, liberties were taken from the comics. But hey, sometimes it works better that way. There were plenty of liberties taken in Thor as well and it's easily my favorite movie of the year (probably only Deathly Hallows pt.2 can overtake it honestly). So yeah, totally reccommend it.

Great! Thanks :D I haven't watched Thor yet, sob.

X-men was amazing! There were flaws of course, but I was ridiculously pleased with it especially considering how awful "Wolverine" was. This is the movie that made me love Professor X. :)
(however, it's very screwy with canon - both comics and movie - so be warned if you are nitpicky)

I haven't watched Wolverine, though I do mean to catch it on cable one of these days, hehe. And it's okay - I know very little of X-men :D

Congrats on the icon wins! :D

Yeah, I thought it was pretty meh myself, though Eustace was a surprise delight and Ben Barnes is yummy to look at.

Thank you!

Eustace was fantastic. I thought I would hate him, but. And Ben Barnes, yum.
