Dread Posted November 28, 2013 Report Share Posted November 28, 2013 I'm just saying that it is likely the most talked about and exploited for monetary gain event in the past 50 years. It seems odd that an ad for the X-Men movie is the cross to die on, you know? WW2 was far more horrific and they still make movies about that. Shit, there have been 3 or 4 huge budget movies about 9/11. It happens. It shouldn't be tossed out because a few people would be upset. And the Holocaust was a series of very specific and horrendous events. It took place in many different places and affected a relatively huge percentage of human kind. So maybe it isn't a very apt connection, but not in the way that you mentioned. People who were alive and heavily affected by the Kennedy assassination are about as likely to visit a viral ad website for an X-Men movie as my grandfather was to go and see Saving Private Ryan. So I don't think there's anything to worry about there. Everybody else should develop some thicker skin. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SuaveStar Posted November 28, 2013 Report Share Posted November 28, 2013 Remember in the Simpsons where Professor Frink said in a court of law, that he believed Marge was involved in the JFK assassination? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JackFetch Posted December 21, 2013 Report Share Posted December 21, 2013 Anna Paquin filmed one scene and was cut out of the movie. It makes me wonder who else is only going to show up for one scene. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stavros Posted December 21, 2013 Report Share Posted December 21, 2013 Should have kept it. She's the original protagonist of the entire series! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slothian Posted December 21, 2013 Report Share Posted December 21, 2013 I'm not saying that this will affect my grading of this film. But it will. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If nothing else, this'll make the DVD/Blu-Release very interesting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JackFetch Posted December 21, 2013 Report Share Posted December 21, 2013 I wonder how much she got paid to not be in the movie? It must not have been much because Fox would make sure she's in there somewhere if they paid her a lot of money. There is nothing the suits hate more than not getting their money's worth. Believe it or not there are some people that won't see it because she's not in it. That's lost ticket sales. I just don't see what they get from announcing it this early.

JackFetch Posted January 12, 2014 Report Share Posted January 12, 2014 I'm confused about when this takes place. How is Xavier walking, and why are he and Magneto still friends? Did the last movie never take place? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did the last movie never take place? Also, that's supposedly Quicksilver in the silver jacket. It looks like Magneto is in a prison jumpsuit, so, maybe this is them breaking him out of prison.

Stavros Posted January 12, 2014 Report Share Posted January 12, 2014 And how is Patrick Stewart not atoms after the third movie. Must be alternative reality stuff. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dc20willsave Posted January 12, 2014 Report Share Posted January 12, 2014 Patrick Stewart stole a comatose guy's body in the after credit sequence of the third one. Considering that Moira looked really good for being the exact same age as him according to First Class, I assume she gave him her plastic surgeon's number.

Koete Posted January 12, 2014 Author Report Share Posted January 12, 2014 Professor X is actually Apocalypse in disguise and he's going to manipulate events so that they prevent the Days of Future Past, but instead result in the Age of Apocalypse.

slothian Posted January 12, 2014 Report Share Posted January 12, 2014 And how is Patrick Stewart not atoms after the third movie. Must be alternative reality stuff. Not quite, it was touched upon in the post credits sequence of The Wolverine. And as Will notes: Patrick Stewart stole a comatose guy's body in the after credit sequence of the third one. How that guy morphs back into Patrick Stewart I don't know, but I'll add it to my "loose thread" checklist when I go and see this movie.

KnightWing Posted January 12, 2014 Report Share Posted January 12, 2014 How that guy morphs back into Patrick Stewart I don't know, but I'll add it to my "loose thread" checklist when I go and see this movie. Xavier had an identical twin that he accidentally mind-wiped while still in the womb. They kept the body around in case Charles needed it one day. I am NOT making that up, it's what actually happened according to the DVD commentary of The Last Stand. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Missy Posted January 13, 2014 Report Share Posted January 13, 2014 ... what? They had to say that as a joke. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Venneh Posted January 13, 2014 Report Share Posted January 13, 2014 Unless it's spelled out in the movie, I call bs. And if it is true, wow, super fucking creepy Charles. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KnightWing Posted January 13, 2014 Report Share Posted January 13, 2014 It was apparently meant to be taken seriously. This is how I figure the conversation went: "Hey, we could have Xavier survive by telepathically transferring his mind into another body!" "So he just takes over somebody else's body?" "No no, like... a brain-dead body or something." "Ah. Ohhhh! What if we said it was his twin brother? If they were related, it would make more sense as to how he could do that." "Yeah, cause, like, the mutant gene and all that. Right. So maybe the twin brother was a vegetable?" "Sure. Like, maybe Charles accidentally mind-wiped his brother when they were in the womb together." "Perfect. Let's go grab Patrick and film it." And nobody thought at any point, "So... they just kept the body of this brain-dead baby alive for, what, 60+ years? Just in case Charles needed a new place to crash?"

Stavros Posted January 13, 2014 Report Share Posted January 13, 2014 Exactly, I mean odds are a brain-dead body is going to die before it hits 60, certainly before the body of it's comparatively healthy and active twin, even if they do wind up in a wheelchair.
