Shut Up. Kick Ass

Wondercon was this past weekend and although I picked up some cards and freebies, as well as getting some sketches and getting to meet Amanda Connor face to face and telling her I love her art(OMG she is the nicest nicest person ever) it was all quickly and superbly overshadowed by an event that happened that night. My friend Jenna and I went to the Kick-Ass booth to see about getting tickets to get into the autographing booth for the movie because her favorite actor portrays Red Mist(the kid in red on the ads) but when we arrived, this older woman asked if it was just us two there and when we said yes, she asked if we wanted to be on a panel for the advance screening of Kick-Ass, which was even better (maybe) than getting autographs so we got to see the entire movie before its release on April 16. I'm not here to spoil it or review it, I'm here to say it was, indeed, awesome, the fight scenes featuring Hit Girl was extremely well executed and planned, I loved the cinematography and the way it was handled. As far as I'm concerned, Hit Girl is where the movie's at. The other actors were cool, I liked Kick Ass and Red Mist, I even liked Kick Ass's friend, not the one in glasses, the other one, he looked familiar but comparing them to Hit Girl's character, they all paled immensely. She was so ruthless but so devoted to her father and equal parts badass vigilante and adorable geek girl, helping Kick Ass while also taking him down a notch. If they release her as a doll or something, I'll be adding her to my collection.
