Hugh Jackman: Logan

Was neat to finally see Xavier do some damage, even if it was a due to an accidental seizure. Been waiting for that guy to unleash for like 20 years.

retail blu ray (rips) is out, including the black & white Noir edition. Lot of deleted scenes too.

That was pretty good. Thanks.

A black and white version is going to be released in theatres. That is some truly try-hard hipster bullshit.

Gah, it's called noir, not black and white! You peasant.

A great way to waste money

Well, if it's good like that then I'll . . . turn the color down on my TV when I watch it.

Logic.

Seriously, I did it with Saving Private Ryan, which was 'color turned back up' for home media. I turned that back down when watching it.

I dunno maybe I'm too separated from the xmen franchise at this point, the last one I saw before this was with jean grey.. think it was the 2nd original xmen movie. But I felt this movie was just incredibly depressing. Stewart played a demented person so well it was actually uncomfortable for me to watch, and I just found the whole movie extremely bleak. I guess we are supposed to feel good these kids made it but the problem is I don't know or give a shit about this random ethnically pc mix of kids and the people I actually cared about , not only died, but as the point of the movie seemed to be, they were already dead to the world and to themselves when the movie even began.

The idea of a burnt out 'hero' without a purpose is just depressing to me, not particularly interesting. As a point of comparison, yes mad max also was far gone, but the arc of the movie was his redemption , and it worked really well. I just didn't buy that about Logan. I didn't feel like wolverine ever really felt redeemed, or maybe it was rushed ; and I certainly didn't feel that way about Xavier.

Maybe just me, but his whole death scene screamed redemption IMO, especially at around 1:10ish:

finally got around to watching this.

I want to know how a single bullet- even made of adamantium- could kill the young version, esp if it goes THROUGH him (even the brain) he got his head partially blown off earlier and healed that, but head partially off with a different bullet= no healing?

now LOGAN i can understand it killing since he is dying and his regen is fubar, but not the new guy..now if they blew his head off, then used the claws (his or hers) to cut off his fucking head, i'd say ok NP, but they didn't do/show that.

overall loved the movie- sad though it was.

Also, the clone had pretty shitty regen baseline compared to actual Wolvy it looked like. He was barely regening at all without the green goop injections if I remember right. So it stands to reason that it's easier to deal an actual lethal blow to someone with a much lower healing capability.

Where the comic books in this movie 4th wall breaking?

Not really, that weren't real comics, and they made sense in the context of the story. Comic books in this movie are like cartoon documentaries.

The comic book thing was equivalent to The Unforgiven where Gene Hackman shits all over the bullshit pulp novel depictions of events that he had witnessed.

Slightly less on the nose than actually playing a clip of Shane during the movie, but close.

The only thing this movie missed was a cameo from Clint Eastwood as a gravedigger.
