How many said "Oh yeah, he came back in X3!" instead of just being confused?
We saw him wobble a chess piece a little, not quite the same thing.

Yeah, it was ambiguous enough to me originally. If they had left it like that, one could assume that all Magneto would be able to do for the rest of his life was little parlor tricks like bending spoons and such.
Two drink minimum, Magneto is here all week, try the veal!
Kirk, you basically always make me glad that you don't make movies.
I like how you take my comment out of context, by ignoring when I say "I'm basically always correct when predicting what I'll think of the movies".
Taking the bolded part out completely changes the context, but I guess it makes me look really bad which was probably your point. Lying to make someone you're arguing with look bad, which is what both of you did, really doesn't reflect well on you. I'll say a lot of things when arguing with people, but I don't take parts of an argument out of context to the point of basically put words in someones mouth.
Actually having your comments taken out of context usually means one of two things. 1) you've run afoul of the media 2) it's a joke.
I'd say this is a case of #1...
Even in context, your comment is ridiculous.
Nope. It just means I have a very good grasp of knowing what I want. The only time I've been wrong about a FOX superhero movie it was predicting that I'd like it more (X-Men Apocalypse), so my track record with bad FOX superhero films is great. So, its not ridiculous, its an accurate comment about how I know what I like and what i think is crap.
It's ridiculous because you keep hyping yourself up when no-one besides you actually cares about how "accurate" you think your knowledge about your own tastes is, especially when the majority of your posts are riddled with factual inaccuracies and misconceptions.
As opposed to people who watch shit movies and regret it. You don't have to watch a movie to know you won't like it. For example, I hate Adam Sandler in basically everything I've ever seen him in, so I'm not going to watch Jack & Jill just to prove that its a bad movie. I already know it is (even if I didn't look at things like reviews). This is the same way. I don't need to watch Generic PG-13 Horror movie #448574X, but with mutant names for the annoying teens, to hate it. Plus I'm a fan of the real New Mutants, so that brings it from generic PG-13 horror crap to another case of FOX shitting on the X-Men to make some money off the rights they got.
I will end up watching a lot of bad superhero films. Dark Phoenix is probably going to be shit, but I'll watch it. I own Fant4stic and have watched it at least twice by now. There is different types of crap. I'll watch a bad superhero movie just because I like the character/team. If it goes past bad into offensively bad shit, that's where I draw the line. So far, only FOX has managed to take things that far, first with Logan and now with New Mutants. I've watched shit like X-Men Origins and Catwoman, with no hesitation, but I won't watch things like NM or more then about 2 minutes of Logan.
There is incompetence and then there is being a complete asshole. The people who made, for example, Catwoman or Fant4stic were completely incompetent, making those trainwreck films for me. Neither of those ruined a franchise, because they were pretty obviously just crap from day one. The person making Logan was just an asshole, an unfortunately competent one, so I couldn't fucking stand to watch the movie because of how it legitimately ruined the entire franchise. The people making New Mutants are probably both, but are at the very least assholes. They took a great superhero team and have ruined it. Its like making Fantastic Four a raunchy comedy, it doesn't fit the characters or the very premise of the team.
That is... not correct.
Nah it's pretty correct. Aren't there genres you dislike? The thing is, it's likely you don't go around proudly telling everyone how you hate movies in those genres.

Except I don't hate the superhero or horror genres. I hate some specific movies in those genres, and unless its a specifically horror themed character like Ghost Rider or Blade they should never mix, but I don't generally going around talking about whole genres I hate. If I hate a whole genre, I wouldn't really bother talking about it. You don't see me talking about how shit Romance movies are, because I don't watch them.
It depends on the person. In some cases, yeah, that's how they roll.
I agree about something like Jack & Jill, I wouldn't really wanna watch something like that either. I think the difference is though I would say "it looks shit." You would say "it is shit."
Fact and opinion are two different things.
But hey ho. 17 years on the TrekBBS and with the rise of social media in recent times, I've learnt to accept an awful lot of people in the world don't know the difference.

Damn, that can't be good news for either film.
February isn't as bad it use to be, thanks to Deadpool and Black Panther, but going from November to February isn't a good sign for Dark Phoenix, even if it's for visual effects.
Even with the reshoots, an overall 18-month delay looks like really bad for New Mutants.

Well...maybe they are also trying to give the film room to breathe...what all is happening in November and December? Venom right? Harry Potter spinoff and Aquaman?
It might be a bit much and February would be a wiser nice depending on competition.
Those movies are lower on my priority list
