X2 Is Out Today!

I've been looking forward to seeing the second X-Men movie for a few months now. My buddy Paul and I are going to see it tomorrow morning - should be great.
I collected Marvel Comics back in the early-to-mid 80's; the ones I've retained fill two boxes. I was (and still am) a big fan of Spidey and the X-Men, and I also collected The Avengers (East and West Coast) and some of the "New Universe" titles. Every once in a while I get the impulse to at least go through the collection and catalog it electronically, but so far I haven't acted on that. I've seen a few websites that offer to host your collection's database, but I never found one that easily let you dump the contents of your DB into a flat data file (CSV or otherwise). Maybe I'll look again soon.
I have quite a few books that are relatively rare and in good shape; I'd like to gauge their worth and possibly sell some of my stuff on Ebay. We'll see.

I thought the tension between him and Cyclops was fun. I liked the Logan/Rogue relationship. And I thought Ian McKellen made a great Magneto.
But enough about that, let's talk about X2: X-Men United.
