Okay, okay, I know this isn't a movie blog, but Will.I.Am was there so it is loosely music related.
Shawn and I headed down to the world premiere of the new movie X-Men Origins: Wolverine. This was the first chance either of us had to go to a fancy pants Hollywood movie premiere, but hopefully not the last. I won't lie, there were parts of the premiere that were frustrating. We had to wait in line a lot and I felt crowd control could have been organized better. But, overall I thought the experience was awesome.
The crowd at Tempe Marketplace was really into the whole thing and hopefully convinced Fox executives to have other movie premiers here in Phoenix. The cast of the movie seemed very cool. Particularly, Hugh Jackman and Ryan Reynolds. They just seem like bros we can hang out with.
The movie itself was pretty good. Way better then the last X-men movie, X-Men: The Last Stand. Although, this latest movie did rank pretty high on my cheese factor scale. Lots of summer blockbuster cliches. If you're into those sort of things, though, or you like the previous X-Men movies then I definitely recommend this one to you.
