The 'and' credit .... e: beaten No idea how Anna Paquin got to be listed above Ellen Page, though. Speaking of casting, I noticed that the guy who played the President is Mark Camacho. Kangra fucked around with this message at 18:15 on May 26, 2014 |

I'm no expert, and I'm sure there's somewhere that explains it, but movie credits (at least in Hollywood) often have a rich and complicated backstory. People often do negotiate for billing when deciding to take a role, or at least their agents do. In truth, it may be that Paquin only agreed to be on-screen if she was positioned where she was. There are also complicated tales of all the crew credits as well. For instance, in screenwriting credits 'by', 'based on', and 'and' all have particular importance and established rules. Even the length of modern credits can be attributed to the history of the unions/guilds that are in the industry all wanting to have their participation made known. On this movie in particular, it also had text at the very end mentioning something like "15000 people got jobs because of this movie". I hadn't seen that before; it seemed like either a vague anti-piracy message or just "what's good for Fox is good for

It's all a part of contract negotiations. That's why you'll often see movie posters where the names don't match up to the actors pictures that they are over. Picture placement and name placement on posters are usually separate parts of the deal.

Man, the scene with Xavier getting overwhelmed by Cerebro made me think of Gamesmaster. And then the scene with Maggie chucking Logan 10 miles to his death made me think of Fabien Cortez.

Spacebump posted:How does Old Man Logan work without being able to use the Hulk? Logan lives in "Hulkland." This is one thing that Fox and Disney need to put their arms down and make happen. Wolverine VS Hulk would be a billion dollar movie all on it's own. This is the comic film every fanboy wants to see. Imagine them making a movie poster that's a live action image of Hulk 181. I know Jackman has said he wants to do it and Ruffalo recently made some remarks about how he wouldn't pass up the chance. Please Fox and Disney, PLEASE. Figure this out.

It was in funnily enough the Days of Future Past arc. Very similar setup, although it was Shadowcat doing the jumping around herself instead of using a middleman.

Days of Future Past is one of the most famous X-Men stories of all time. While altered, the films plot is based very heavily off the comics. In the comics it's Kitty that goes back though.

The cool part was Sabretooth was the other option, so Pooky (of course) put them in a fight over it. Logan won.

You know there is no way a hollywood blockbuster would feature a hillbilly gang of inbred hulks, don't be disingenuous. Old Man Logan is basically a road trip through a goofy post superhero-apocalypse and you can do a ton of things with that, even when you're limited to just the Mutants (I think thats all Fox has? or would any Fantastic Four stuff fit in there as well?).

Well it would need the Fantastic Four-mobile, in addition to the Spider-Mobile. Making Old Man Logan true to the books is probably not a great idea, it's an incredibly stupid story.

But why decide that making it curve ever-so-slightfully out of the way is the best course of action? Make it just entirely go into the ground 10 yards away, it's not like the shooter or anyone else would ever be able to tell the difference. There are a thousand ways to do it better than that. Hell, he could've rendered the firing mechanism in Oswald's rifle defunct. He could have done literally anything else to stop it, but he chose the action that would get someone killed if there were just a slight error. Magneto is lying straight to Xavier's face about it because he knows he can finally lie to him for once.

Maybe in the instant between it flying straight and it turning 90 degrees to fly into the ground, someone tackled Erik and he lose his concentration.

Slim Killington posted:Magneto is lying straight to Xavier's face about it because he knows he can finally lie to him for once. A quote from Simon Kinberg, the guy who wrote the movie: "Personally, I just really like the idea of explaining the curving [i.e. 'magic'] bullet with a character that can move metal," said Kinberg with a chuckle. "And then, as that subplot fleshed out, it seemed more interesting that in fact Erik hadn't killed JFK, but had been trying to stop it. And that was the explanation for a bullet that curves. And from there, the question was, Why would he try to stop it? Why would he try to save JFK? And then it just seemed interesting if the answer was, JFK was a mutant. Given the mystery of his life and the power of that family and the mysterious deaths in that family, it just, it didn't seem totally outrageous that in a world of mutants, he may have been one."

You know the idea that Magneto was full of poo poo about trying to save JFK was not something that occurred to me on the initial viewing, but the more I think about it the more I like it. It fits with the movie's overall portrayal of Young Magneto as a two-faced rear end in a top hat.
