darchildreSo today, being my day off, I went to the movies. And since seeing Inception three Mondays in a row is kinda edging into ridiculous territory*, I went to see Salt. Because who doesn't love movies about kickass women shooting things?
First, I would like to say that the sequence in the bunker where Salt is wearing men's pants and a white button-down shirt and has cut her hair short and androgynous and just rips through bunches of people, kicking all of their asses? That is really fucking hot. Not that Angelina Jolie is not pretty much always attractive, but damn.
Second, y'know what really impressed me? This is a really little thing but, at the beginning of the film, when Salt first figures out that people are going to be after her and she needs to get away, one of the first things she does is kick off her impractical high-heeled shoes and proceed to kick ass barefoot till she can get to a pair of boots. It was pleasing.
*Which is not to say that I don't want to see it again, because I do. (I have read a lot of Inception fic recently, okay?) Only that kind of regularity edges toward dorkier than I want to be.
