I don't agree. Normally she is sexy but her legs looked like twigs in this. This was probably her least attractive role I've seen her in.
There are at least 3 different endings.
Mike dies in a fire in the room
Mike survives, and when he listens to a tape recording of himselfhe hears his daughter's voice, and his wife hears it too.
Same as the 2nd ending, but his wife doesn't hear his daughters voice.
I assume you saw the first. I think that was the best ending.
The first line was a joke about how he would kill his kid before he was 10. He made that joke before the transmissions started driving people insane.
The second was that for every 10 women he dated, he has sex with 9 of them.
I felt like it was discussing how the desire to kill your children was innate in all the parents, the virus or whatever just brought it to the surface.
The Japanese company that owned the Dolphin hotel just wanted to pretend there was no problem.
When they were in the elevator they discussed this before going to the room.
I didn't know Napoleon Dynamite's grandma was Mac's mom.
[quote]Also, kind of irritating how even a female 'loser' has to look like a model. I have a real problem with that.[/quote]
Fully agree, I wish they'd picked an average looking kid to play bev, instead of a girl who looked like an 18 year old model. That distracted from the entire theme.
Why is everyone mad at me for paying attention?
A scientist wanted to kill all the mutants, except ones he controlled which he wanted to use for warfare purposes. So he put gene therapy in foods and drinks to suppress the mutant X gene. This caused all the mutants to lose their powers and for new mutants to not be born.
He also created a bunch of children under the X-23 project to create a bunch of mutants he could use as soldiers. However the children didn't want to be soldiers and rebelled. So he created a new project, X-24. He used that project to clone mutants but to also make them subservient and obedient. That is what bad wolverine was, a clone who was a mental slave.
Have you been to Europe?
Affordable health care
Affordable college without student loan debt
Mandatory vacations and sick days
Humane, civilized, respectful police
Sane laws regarding drugs and sex (no irrational moral panics like we have here)
The poor in Europe live better than the upper middle class in America in many ways. I have a college degree and work for a fortune 500 company, and a fry cook in France or Germany has benefits I will never get (health care that can't be taken away or drive you bankrupt, more vacation days, no student loans, etc).
I've met people who earned 6 figures in America who didn't get the benefits you get as a birthright in western Europe.
I can't tell if you are trolling or not.
The poison takes time to start working. The kids had been eating clean food until they escaped, and I think they only escaped a short period before the film started.
Wolverine was born in the 1880s, and would've been about 140 years old at the time of the movie. Before the gene therapy was put into food, Wolverine was a healthy strapping man of only 120 in the earlier X men movies. Then the gene therapy was put into food, mutants lost their powers and new mutants stopped being born.
The adamantium had been poisoning him his whole life, but once his healing ability was suppressed he couldn't cope with the damage anymore. He had adamantium in his body for 40 years before the gene therapy was put into food, and his healing ability started failing.
In the movie, near the end a scientist explains how they put gene therapy in the food to suppress the mutant X gene, which prevented new mutants from being born and suppressed their powers.
My assumption was it was the emptiness of the life he was leading that made him run, the shallow connections with people whose issues he didn't like (the abusive black woman, the snotty manipulative teen girls at the club, etc).
I remember when Disturbing behavior came out in the 90s. Back then Katie Holmes was playing a high school student just like her daughter in this film.
The scientist who was behind the efforts to catch the girl also supported efforts to put gene therapy in mainstream foods that suppress the mutant X gene. That is why mutants are losing their powers and new mutants are not being born. Any who eats commercial food or drinks commercial beverages was exposed to gene therapy designed to suppress the mutant X gene.
Their goal was to get rid of all the mutants except the ones they could control in their experiments (like the kids, or the bad wolverine from X-24).
Logan was dying because his mutant powers were being suppressed by this gene therapy hidden in food (his healing power was being suppressed) and combined with poisoning from his adamantium skeleton, it was making him very sick and near death. Normally his healing factor would heal his adamantium poisoning before it became a problem, but without his healing factor the poisoning just got worse and worse.
It was a clone of wolverine created using his DNA whose mind had been altered to make him submissive.
The bad guys put gene therapy in the food to suppress the mutant X gene, which is why the good wolverine was weaker and healed slower than the bad wolverine, who was not exposed to the gene therapy.
The taxi driver was going to take her into the afterlife. Her only redemption is if she agrees to let him do that, instead of trying to kill everyone on the boat so she can travel back in time and save her son.
I don't think they were real people, I think they were like machines almost. The entire scenario was Jess's Sisyphus scenario, she'd metaphorically roll a boulder up a hill and then right as she got near the top, the boulder would roll down to the bottom of the mountain again.
She did the same things because her situation was meant to be hopeless and because she had no memory of doing them earlier.
In the book he takes valium pills.
I know it wasn't central to the plot, but I'm not sure what happened in Europe or Asia.
I've been reading the book, the book has a much more drawn out backstory about endless global war and civil breakdown before the total collapse of power. The movie doesn't go into that, it just has things running smoothly one day and everything down the next. However I do appreciate the fact that this didn't extend the movie by bringing this plot line into the film .
