X3: minor character; prettiness

[hermionesviolin]

I was looking at the X-3 gallery with Eric today. Famke Janssen remains v. pretty. Eric agreed that she was pretty and said that he hadn't previously thought so -- which, okay, whatever. Also: mmm, Callisto. (Though labrets are ew.) Eric said she's supposed to have an eyepatch. And also that she looks like a butch lesbian, but that he thinks she's supposed to be a lesbian so it's okay.

I Googled her and lo, BtVS connection.

Caridad - A girl from the Philippines to whom Xander is attracted; first seen in "Dirty Girls". She too survives the climatic Hellmouth battle according to the Buffy magazine. Caridad is portrayed by Dania Ramirez.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Callisto_(comics)
Dania Ramirez portrays her in the third X-Men movie. She is a member of Magneto's Brotherhood of Evil Mutants. In place of an eye-patch and physical disfigurement, this version of Callisto is beautiful, yet heavily tattooed. Her powers have also been altered to move at incredible speeds and the ability to "sense" other mutants around her, and assess their abilities and power level.

P.S. X-Men has Reavers?

props to the icon usage

I remember after the movie, talk about the archaic term "reave" going around the 'Net, but it's not a term I'm very familiar with.

The fact that he's an X-fan makes it weirder to me, 'cause then the term already means something to him and he's reinventing it to mean something diferent (albeit similar).

Well, I think the term is evocative of an earlier time, and also of the word revenant, so it fits with the universe he was creating.

Maybe he didn't like that arc of X-Men, or probably, he didn't really care. *g*

And yes, it's my "uh oh" icon.
