Review: X-Men Exposed-sometimes literally

[ozma914]

            Time travel, yay! I love a great time travel movie. Heck, I love a bad time travel movie.

Good news: X-Men: Days of Future Past is a great travel movie

Now you've made me want to see this movie even more and it has nothing to do with finding out Hugh Jackman bares his bottom. (okay, almost nothing)

Well, it certainly didn't seem to harm the movie's popularity!

From the articles I read, Jackman insisted on being nude in that scene. He said it didn't make sense to have been shagging a lovely lady and then get dressed before going to sleep. They tried to dissuade him...but he got his way, even refusing to wear the little greenscreen sock thing that would have prevented any accidental frontal peeks.

I loved this film. I saw First Class 12 times...and this one is up to 10. If it's still local this weekend, I'll probably tie the record.

Good for him ... and I wonder how many crewmembers managed to snap quick little camera phone shots that they'll now treasure forever?

While gratuitous nudity is annoying, there are film moments where it just makes sense. I mean, how many people get out of bed and drag a sheet with them to walk to the bathroom? Or get dressed (even partially) after sex (I'm sure there are some, but let's be real, lol)? And I'd bet not everyone wraps a towel around themselves the moment they get out of the shower (at least, if they're living alone I'd bet most don't)? And if women can be nude in film, men should be too. ;) More respect for Mr. Jackman for pulling it off...literally, lol.

The one that pulls me out of the movie is when the couple has *just* finished having sex and get out out bed -- only to reveal they still have underwear on, and on in the correct place.

I really enjoyed this film. The time travel aspect held up - which is difficult to manage :)

It sure is -- they it wrong way more often than they get it right!
