X Men; First class

Didn't she mean stuff like Dew Bot? I'm good with product placement in these, and most things, to be honest. Trashy 200 million dollar porn wouldn't be the same without it.

edit: ah, you got there first. :p

"she"?

*checks between legs*

"He" mate ;) :)

And really, I don't have a huge problem with product placement as a whole, when films are 1. as expensive to make as they are now and 2. are set in a world thats supposed to be somehow representetive of our own, its to be expected. But sometimes its taken way way to far, Casino Royale and Bay's Transformers movies are two of the most obvious culprits.
 
I'll let you off, I assume my avatar (its actually from the Persona manga, although I added the colour and I'm not that keen on it) or my mentioning of my daughter threw you.

I guess it's never really bothered me because most of the time I don't pick up on it, or notice it. I mean I SEE it but I never think "Oh I bet sony paid a bunch for that" (Ok with Casino I kinda did but only cos they had a Vaio ad right before with clips from the film.If they hadn't done that I wouldn't have noticed.)
 
They are part of the appeal, more so with Bond films. They are the ultimate male fantasy/wish fulfilment thing. Guys want to know the cars, they want the products, it's all '60/70s dreams thrown into (now) modern times. I don't care for them at all, but product placement, locations and sexy women are built into the very fabric of the James Bond franchise.
 
Fassbender has commented on it...

IGN said:
Well when IGN caught up with him on-set last year, we asked him that very question concerning his characterisation of Erik Lehnsherr.

"I'm kind of using my own accent and taking out as much Irish-ness as I can," he explained. "People always say that I sound anything but Irish... most people say to me Canadian, or people have said Dutch, German, South African.

"But what do you do with the accent? Because he's not English and he didn't really have any sort of history in England. But I think he is well-educated... so I'm just trying to play a more neutral version of my own accent."

Watched the first half of x men 2 lastnight (was very tired) But i've found that i remembered the first one but this one is sat right at the back of my mind so it feels half nostalgic and half not. Nice to see nightcrawler back in it.

I was upset Kurt only got the big sequence at the start. he didn't factor into the main film much. but then how do you top a sequence like that? :p
 
lol yeah thats true, he's one of my favourite characters for that scene alone.

nightcrawler, wolverine, magneto, charles and rogue (just coz rogues fairly good looking :p )

No-one else noticed Magneto's voice change during the film?

At first he talks with a European accent but then after he bursts out the sub with his newly claimed helmet, he begins talking in an irish accent for several minutes. Before switching to a toned down European accent again.

Eh, that's just because it's the first time in the film he really has to raise his voice, then his German accent comes out more. It's not as though he tried to mask it or anything though, he pulled a British accent PERFECTLY in Inglorious Basterds

Right so i've managed to watch abit more lastnight and i completely forgot how magnito got out of the plastic prison... sure sucks to be that security guard lol And i'm glad that sabertooth and toad hardly appear if at all in this one, sure sabertooth's character in the first film is a take on the comics from the 1970-1980's however i preferred the origins wolverine version of him.

I do love that scene. X2 definitely has the best action sequences. And I agree about Sabretooth. Terrible film, but Liev Schrieber was one of the good parts.
 
Isn't that the doctor? wha tthe hell has he done to his son?! i remember them in the cerebro and patrick stewart is in a chair being controlled (not got to that bit yet) but i thought the son becomes deadpool? (not sure if i've remembered his name correctly or not... still half asleep lol)

I...just...what? XD

Liev Schreiber is Sabretooth in Origins. Danny Huston is Stryker, the man who creates Wolverine and Deadpool, Stryker in X2 is played by Brian Cox (glasses McBeardface).

Deadpool is created from Wade Wilson (Ryan Reynolds) NOT Stryker's son. He only appears in Origins.

Stryker's son is the man in the wheelchair who's used to control Xavier. Styker gave him a lobotomy to make him controllable and uses his spinal fluid as a mind control agent (the acid stuff he uses on the back of people's necks).
 
Nimoy was boss in the X-Files ep of the Simpsons, too.

Ah, that's because it had a storyline.

As does the second one, what with being based on one of the "classic" X-Men storylines. It just wasn't told "amazingly" well.

X-Men? What are you? I was talkin' Transformers.

Hey the second one had a storyline:

Sam picks up the cube which puts info into his brain which Megatron needs to find the matrix which powers the star harvester which the Fallen needs to create energon to power Cybertron and the good guys have to stop them.

Just what is so complicated about that =P
