today is labor day in taiwan. the school i work for isn't closed today, but since my only class for today is at a company and they were off today i got it off too. since both peter and i had today off we decided to go to see x-men two, which opened here yesterday. the theater was pretty empty, but then it's a rainy day and the theater we went to is in the same area as one of the quarantined hospitals. i enjoyed the movie, though there didn't seem to be as much character development as in the first film, and some of the characters didn't seem to have a lot to do. before we went into the theater they checked our temperatures but we didn't have to wear masks, which i heard some theaters were making people do.

before the film started they showed the trailer for matrix reloaded which looks pretty good, and the trailer for hulk, which looks, well, bad. hulk looks too much like a cartoon and too big, and too strong. i'm not familiar with the comic, so maybe that is the way he is portrayed in the comic, but i much prefer the way they had hulk in the old tv series. plus here the actor playing bruce banner looks too strong even before he turns into the hulk. i may still end up seeing it at the cheap theater out of curiousity, but i doubt i'll be paying full price for it.
