Thanks, I was wondering what it looked like when neither the artist nor the writer gave a gently caress.

None of the previous X-films have grossed even $500m worldwide, so DOFP's reported $250m budget is actually a pretty big risk.

That's about 2 minutes 18.4 seconds a mile. The world record for a mile run is 3 minutes 43.13 seconds E: Beaten hard, drat.  E2: ^^^ I'd be really surprised if Steve didn't know who won the last World Series. He grew up in New York in the 30s, he's probably a rabid baseball fan. Dodgers or Giants fan though, not the Yankees. So I guess he'd root for the Mets these days. Charlz Guybon fucked around with this message at 07:06 on Apr 12, 2014 |

Ignite Memories posted:This is going to be a million loving times worse than X3. I can already taste it If DoFP is very poorly received by fans, I wonder if that will spark a bit of a reevaluation of X3. There's a decent movie in X3, but you have to sort of scrap off a lot of needless or bad material to get to it. With so much stuff of DOFP, I'm still cautiously optimistic, though. I'm genuinely intrigued by it to want to see it, but I'm not so interested to be so eager for new information to look for behind the scenes and read spoilers.

FlamingLiberal posted:Part of the problem is that Fox loves short turnaround times for their movies. I believe that's what caused Matthew Vaughn to not do X3, and them having to bring in Brett Ratner. That was mainly because they wanted to beat Superman Returns to theaters out of spite for Singer. Vaughan asked them to push back the release date to work on the script more and they refused and brought on Ratner who was able to get it out within their timeframe. Essentially every bad creative and production decision around X-Men 3 can be attributed to spite.

I believe he said that First Class actually ended up being an even more rushed production than X3 would have been had he stayed on board. I was pretty surprised when Fox announced Vaughn as director just a bit over a year before its release date, which is extremely unusual for a film of that scale.

First Class has more than enough good to outweigh the bad. Fassbender, Lawrence, McAvoy and Bacon are all great enough that I can ignore the boring Havok or Angel stuff.Pops Mgee posted:Which trailers had unfinished effects? I don't know about trailer but I know the first images "leaked" were unfinished promo images that were being used for like website promos and Vaughan got really mad because they weren't representative of the film and people were writing the film off. Actually I found the image and quote:  Vaughn posted:“I freaked out on them yesterday. I don’t know where the hell that came from. I don’t think it’s a Fox image. It’s not a pre-approved image. When I found out, I said, what the gently caress is this poo poo, and Fox is running around trying to figure out what happened as well. I agree. It’s like a bad photoshop, which maybe it was by someone. It didn’t reflect the movie. I was shocked when I saw it. I was like ‘Jesus Christ’…

The part of it that was an unofficial sequel to Inglourious Basterds, with Michael Fassbender roaming the German countryside Killin' Gnatzees, was the best part of the movie.

First Class was a mediocre script rescued by a few excellent casting choices and also January Jones who was dreadful. The villains who weren't Kevin Bacon were entirely superfluous as were most of the other good guy mutants. I really enjoyed the film but but not so much as to overcome my lack of faith in Singer and how crowded the film seems.

I thought she just had a super upper class American accent that you only see in Cartoons and is dead in real life. Affected of course, as everything else about her. It's not like hollywood lacks actresses that could play Emma.
