Also, openly gay. \/\/\/ This, too. Young Freud fucked around with this message at 09:46 on Jan 28, 2014 |

Also, to be fair, Bryan Singer made all the good X-men movies. (X-men, X2, and First Class)

Yep. Singer produced First Class, but yeah, Matthew Vaughn directed it/wrote it. Meanwhile, Singer is directing Days of Future Past, while Matthew Vaughn is producing it and helped write it.

Vagabundo posted:Why is the text on the Bryan Singer issue pink? The text on the covers for the "classic" X-Men movie characters is pink, and the First Class-era characters get blue. Singer got lumped in wih the first category, which makes sense I guess.

I've only really seen one of the WWE movies in 2013 (Dead Man Down) because it seemed like the most batshit (and it was). I guess I'll have to check out No One Lives and The Call one of these days.

He's hot and cold with me. I can't stand Session 9 but Transsiberian owns. The Machinist is just okay but I really like his Rapture movie for some reason.

Isn't Sunspot supposed to be Japanese? Also the pink covers are definitely a lot easier to read. I still can't really read Havoc's name on his cover because the contrast is poo poo with light blue letters against a blue sky.

The movie was meh, not my cup of tea but her performance was solid. I'll never understand why when a leading actor or actress has a bomb they can't get cast in anything. I mean I'm sure at first it's a pride hit to take less money or not play a lead but when you work on a bomb, don't you want to build your name back up? Are major directors really saying, "Yeah, I could cast Berry/Clive Owen/Brody in my movie in a supporting role but... he sucked in this movie as the lead so nope"? I remember when Ben Affleck appeared in Smokin Aces in pretty much a bit role where his character dies pretty early when at the start it seems like he'll be important and thinking it was genius because people will think he's the star of the movie and ends up certainly not. I doubt that would have happened if he was being casted in bigger films but in smaller roles.

I mean I'd think much of the time it's less of an artistic call and more of a financial one. Movie stars cost money and studios want a return on their investment. If an actor is seen as having lost large amounts of money for a studio in the past, that studio and others are gonna be less likely to foot the bill for them in the future. As for the "take smaller parts" thing, I don't think it's any big secret that the Hollywood system is made up almost entirely of people with enormous egos.

Adrien Brody is a great example of a guy who balled the gently caress out and took nothing but small, quirky roles after he won an Oscar. Predators notwithstanding.

Uncle Boogeyman posted:Sunspot is Brazilian. Sunfire is Japanese. Also, his power is all wrong. The guy is a solar-powered strongman that turns himself into a living Kirby Krackle whenever he uses that strength. At least they got someone Latin to play him (Adan Canto is Mexican), although he's still reads as kinda a white dude. Evil Mastermind posted:I think that's supposed to be Nimrod, the poorly named super-sentinel from the DoFP future. It could disguise itself as a human, so I'm guessing the "scales" are a sort of Transformers-esque design decision. What blows is that Nimrod is actually Rachel "Phoenix" Summers' nemesis from her continuation of Days Of Future Past. Not only do we not get Kitty Pryde going back in time, but there's no setup for her at all since both Cyclops and Phoenix are dead.
