kiki_engOkay. So. I went to see Kick-Ass last night and it was, indeed, kick-ass. (If you want to see it when you come visit me, readbystarlight, I am pretty sure I am up for another go-around.) It was just, comic book violence and so, so, kiddie. It's set in New York, which was awesome, because part of the way through I'm going This is totally filmed in Toronto, isn't it? The stuff they could get away with, anyway. and I was right. At one point they run past a building with a Canadian and an Ontario flag. It was awesome.
I mean, there was stuff I didn't like, but shiny and explosions and ridiculousness. It was adorable. I was less terrified of Nicholas Cage than usual. I stayed to the end so that I could listen to Mika's song in the credits (his music video for it is similarly adorable and fun, by the way) and made random flaily motions at the Toronto credits as a sort of strange expression of residual excitement, thus possibly confusing the full third of the audience that stayed with me. (This is an estimate; there were like seven of us in the theatre for the showing, and the third guy missed part of the credits and then came back, so it is possibly accurate.) I had a lot of fun, and it was awesome in that despite the audience size I wasn't the only one giggling at things.
