Slashing The competition At The Box Office With The Arrival of X-Men 3

The latest movie X-men: the Last Stand has already surpassed the last two X Men movies grossing well over 100 million dollars at the box offices this past weekend, and having released it on a holiday weekend didn't hurt either helped the tattered movie industry to come out swinging this summer. I will say I enjoyed the latest installment of the comic book-turned cartoon, turned movie, and yes I think there is even a story this timeverses the last two films which I also enjoyed and now own on DVD. I was amazed at the special effects that seem to get better with each passing movie and I did like the story line, told as thin as it was, of a cure for mutants as governments and civilians alike treated the mutant genes as some sort of an illness that could easily be cured with some sort of drug. The real story almost seemed to be the about how we treat others that are not like ourselves, be they smaller or taller than normal, or gay or even of a different culture. If they are not of the so-called norm than they must be made to be. Some folks think this can be solved with a bully- type attitude or a social pressuring. In some cases it might be a gene in their DNA that can be cured by means of drugs. As far as I have seen in my 40 yrs and, growing up in the south on military base and working in Africa during the last years of apartheid, witnessing firsthand humans being cruel to other humans in both places, none of this works very well, I can speak on authority about this subject and know talking and compromise is a much better way as most others know and are just too afraid to admit that it might work. They would have to give up their so- called moral high ground. I notice people fear what they do not know nor understand, so it is and has been always far easier to blame the other and cast doubts or stones in some cases on those that do not bend to the so called normal way of think or believe. Maybe I did read more into it than there was but, it just brought back some feelings that I had, seeing it for real and a daily basis. Now on a lighter note, There is to be a Wolverine movie in the works and will star Hugh Jackman, but so far no release date is set, nor is their any word of a forth X-Men movie but I will bet, if it continues to slash the competition another will be made also make sure if you do see it to stay through the end credits for 30 seconds extra. I heard it is worth the pee wait
