What is it?

The 2016 American superhero movie X-Men: Apocalypse.

What is it about?

This is how Rotten Tomatoes describes this movie:

Following the critically acclaimed global smash hit X-Men: Days of Future Past, director Bryan Singer returns with X-MEN: APOCALYPSE.

Since the dawn of civilization, he was worshiped as a god.

Apocalypse, the first and most powerful mutant from Marvel’s X-Men universe, amassed the powers of many other mutants, becoming immortal and invincible.

Upon awakening after thousands of years, he is disillusioned with the world as he finds it and recruits a team of powerful mutants, including a disheartened Magneto (Michael Fassbender), to cleanse mankind and create a new world order, over which he will reign.

As the fate of the Earth hangs in the balance, Raven (Jennifer Lawrence) with the help of Professor X (James McAvoy) must lead a team of young X-Men to stop their greatest nemesis and save mankind from complete destruction.

What do I like about it and what would other people like about it?

I liked the beginning of the movie when it took place in ancient Egypt and Quicksilver’s action scene, and I think that other people will like that as well.

Final Thoughts

I did not like this movie as much as the previous movie and I felt that the main villain was weak, I liked it a bit better than most critics it seems, but I did not like it as much as some critics like Chris Stuckmann.

A Hair Selling Competition?

I remember part of a confusing dream from last night that took place during the day in a slightly fictional version of D and on & off a slightly fictional version of the highway to LC.

One part of the dream involved me driving around D to shop at Dollar General and/or several stores or something like that, but I can not remember the rest of the beginning of the dream.

At some point I drove toward the city of LC and off of the highway was an event of some kind taking place, and I stopped to see what it was all about.

There were a lot of people but I can not remember most of what happened at first, I just remember at some point there was a competition where people were trying to sell hair or something crazy like that, and a few celebrities were competing as well.

Hulk Hogan was there & he had a younger supermodel-looking wife with blond colored hair and whitish colored skin, and she was in the hair selling competition or whatever it was.

She had some blue fabric / hair-like stuff over her face & head that made her look a bit like Mystique from the X-Men films, but she was not doing so good in the competition because the crowd did not like her personality or something like that; they felt that she acted like she was better than everyone or something like that.

I think that Hulk Hogan tried to cheer her up & give her some advice, and he might have tried to get the crowd on her side; but I am not sure, and I can not remember the details.

Another celebrity who was in the competition later in the dream was, Jack Black, and I met him on an airplane that was flying; but I do not remember how I got on the airplane. 😀

I just remember meeting Mr. Black, and he was goofing / joking around as usual; and he went to the competition when the airplane landed, and I went back to the competition to watch again.

There was one or more other celebrities competing at the event, among the other people in the competition, but I can not remember who; and I can not remember the rest of the details.

I remember driving back to D at some point and something happened that I can not remember exactly, that might have had something to do with an abandoned house connected to the building by DG; but I am not sure.

Later my dad and I went to visit a fictional great-aunt of my dad, who lived in a narrow two-story house connected to the building by DG, but she looked like my mom’s dead great-aunt E/QJ.

I can not remember most of the details but I do know that we went on both floors of her house, and I remember that she walked faster than I expected for an old woman & she had more energy than I expected; and she seemed independent like my mom’s dead great-aunt E/QJ.

In the dream I might have even thought about how she looked & reminded me of my great-aunt E/QJ, but I am not sure.

This fictional great-aunt of my dad talked to my dad & I about several things, but unfortunately I can not remember what she told us; but I know that some of it was advice & past wisdom/knowledge.

I call her my dad’s fictional great-aunt because as far as I know she is not one of my dad’s great aunts, but I am not sure.

At some point we said goodbye & left, but I woke up shortly after this.
