We'll learn more about Andrew's mysterious new friends and their hidden den of cannibalistic rituals soon, but first some random crap.

So, like a large number of other geeks, I saw X-Men 2 this weekend. Excuse me, I mean "X2". Using that as the official title of the movie has the unfortunate effect of reminding me of D2: The Mighty Ducks. Not that I ever saw that, but it's still an unfortunate connection for a would-be action / comic-book movie.

Quick reaction: I'm disappointed. The first movie was pretty damn good, but I felt this one was way too scattered.
