X-Men:Days of Future Past movie confirmed 1 1

[chrisco37]

But, I suppose for movies, you have to simplify it to "he controls metal".

 

Yup. And Magneto sounds better than Metallo, so there you go.

[revat]

My only real complaints with the X-men movies in general and DOFP and 1st Class specifically, are the ways in which they continue to misunderstand Magneto's powers...fantastic powers are great and I am willing to accept their existence as it pertains to the narrative. The way those powers interact with our known world should be easy to deal with, right?

 

 

Start here:

 

 

1st Class:

 

 

 

DOFP:

 

 

 

Most bullets, especially in the 60's and 70's were lead or copper jacketed lead....non-magnetic. Only steel cased, or steel imbedded, rounds would be diverted by magnetic force.

 

Which, when we think about it, has been misused since the first X-men film:

 

 

 

 

 

Maybe they are trying to say he's a Master of Metal instead of Master of Magnetism. At least then it would make sense.

 

It wouldn't explain hollow brass tubes being strong enough to crush diamonds, but it would be a start.

 

It's good to remember from time to time these are comic book stories and characters which the stories have taken some liberties with common physics.

 

- Emma Frost: A woman that can turn herself into a diamond. How does she move around and breath if she is a solid diamond? Where do the diamonds go?

 

- Colossus: He goes from 250 pounds to 500 pounds when he transforms to metal. Where does the metal come from? And his height changes too from 6'5" to 7'5" tall when transformed. Where'd all that height come from?

 

if you start thinking too hard, most of this stuff won't make too much sense.

 

Also, I'm pretty sure Emma Frost doesn't need to breathe when she's diamond

She has no lungs?

Chuck, what do you do? I'd like to say I work with naked women 5 nights a week, but my wife doesn't put out that often anymore.

 

I run a Gentlemen's club.

 

So really, the argument I'm making is just the necessity of it. I'd make the same arguement if they'd have felt the need to show Mystique's naked butt. I mean, I'd be more in favor of it. But I could still argue it wasn't necessary in any way to the story.

 

But why is it a problem? Is the naked male torso offensive to many on here?

 

He'd just gotten out of bed, hence he was naked. Should he have been in his jimjams?

Everyone gets on their free speech, you're a prude, high horse and takes off. My point was, and Chuck accurately recognized, that neither the F bomb nor the naked butt shot really did anything to further the story. If you want to dwell on realism in a movie about super heroes, how about this? Why was he naked but the girl was fully clothed? Why is that 1 F bomb the only time (once in FC and once in DOFP) that it is used? There are other far more highly charged circumstances of personal interactions in both films.

 

My point remains. What real purpose does it serve? Pretty sure you get exactly 1 F bomb in a PG-13 movie and the writers made a determined choice to use it, lest it go to waste. Same with the nudity.

 

Do I care very much? Not really. Do I think violence is more damaging to kids? Sure. America has a real fixation on sex and a casual attitude towards violence in movies. But I truly believe the violence was pretty necessary in this movie and the sex and cursing was not. That's all. Would I care if this were an Arnold movie that's rated R? Not at all. But, despite what JC may protest to the contrary about this movie and modern comics in general, the intended audience included kids. Therefore, I think the unnecessary quality of those choices would be outweighed by the intended audience.

 

The buttocks were totally necessary. It's a courtesy to the mothers and girlfriends who were dragged to the movie.

And I do agree with this statement. Get too wrapped up in over-analyzing these things, they start to lose their flavor. Of course, the altering of known science and reality needs to be within reason on certain topics.

I think some people are forgetting that all of this is make believe and we need to suspend logic at times.

Suspension of disbelief is different than suspending logic.

Yep. Any good "fantasy" has to establish and adhere to its own internal logic; otherwise, the fact that it's not real can be used to justify any random nonsense, and the whole thing loses its integrity.

 

I'd stop watching Game of Thrones if the Khaleesi rolled up to King's Landing in a Dodge Charger.

I would be okay with that. Now, a Prius - that's another story.

Even if Ash stepped out of the Charger, arm around Khaleesi?

Alright you Primitive Screwheads, listen up! You see this? This... is my BOOMSTICK!

After sitting through The Wolf of Wall Street with my girlfriend and her Mom, they're a bit more coy about going to the movies with me.

Yeah, I thought her mom was gonna have a heart attack...

And she used to work for A.G. Edwards!

I thought better of leaning across and asking, "Is that how your office was?"

This little note at the end of that article is just amazing. 'Frozen' just tore the market up. Disney is hitting home runs out of the park like mad.

 

Frozen held on to first place in Japan for the 11th weekend in a row. The movie now ranks fourth all-time there with $193.7 million. On a worldwide basis, it passed Iron Man 3 to become the top movie from 2013 and the fifth-biggest all-time. To date, the animated sensation has earned $1.22 billion.

 

My kids love Frozen. We just watched it again and my 2 year old son wanted to restart it. He loves the Let It Go song and we are now watching music videos.

 

Disney does seem to have this kids movie scenario down pat.

Just popped in to see see how much Logan hated this movie. I'll take the answer off the air.

 

 

You should have been able to feel it from out in the lobby...or perhaps off line.

[Comicopolis]

I still don't see what the problem is. Is seeing the naked male behind going to traumatize the nation's children?

Yes. That was the entire point of this discussion. Seeing a naked person is traumatizing. You nailed it right on the head. No further comments needed here. Good job.

 

Well, as long as you weren't traumatized - that's the important bit.
