Love this movie, also LOVE THIS SHOW.
Some of my favorite "fucks" are the ones you don't even hear, when the bad guy discovers the cleverly-hidden bomb with two seconds left in the counter and just goes "Oh, what the -" and immediately the camera cuts away to the good guys running away and the building goes up in a fireball. You hear it in your mind, you know it's there, but it's just so explosive because it's punctuated with the "boom!"
Professor X is alive in Days of Future past because of the post credits in Xmen 3: The Last Stand. Throughout the movie, there are news channels covering the story of a newfound healthy adult male who has become completely brain dead. After the credits, the arm of this man grabs a nurse, and Professor X's voice can be heard saying something or another to her. This does force the assumption that Charles and his powers exist on some sort of mental plane of physics, but your opinion of that Hollywood decision is your own.This is a different body, however, which only can lead to the conclusion that Charles lives in this new body, and constantly projects the image of his old body to all who look at him using his powers.
Regarding the best F-bomb in a movie, it's definitely when Vincent shot Marvin in the face in Pulp Fiction:
Vincent: "Oh man, I shot Marvin in the face."
Jules: "WHY THE F*CK DID YOU DO THAT?!"
Logan is so good, it might be the first film in a long time that I will see in theaters multiple times. Right after I finally see Get Out.
Jon, in X3 post credits, Professor X he mind swaps with the coma guy he talks to his students about. Shadowcat, best I can figure, her power is actually time based. She phases through things because she time shifts to a time when it wasn't there. In the future she then learns to time shift other people's consciousnesses.
So, unpopular opinion here. Logan was only a 3 out of 5 for me. Let me explain how I rank stuff first before people crucify me though.
1/5: Oh, you made a movie, but there is nothing at all that I like and I did not enjoy it at all.
2/5: Okay, you did a decent job and I didn't want to bash my head in during or after watching.
3/5: I thoroughly enjoyed myself and think that this was an amazing movie.
4/5: I'd watch it again if it happens to cross my way.
5/5: I can actively watch this whenever and enjoy it each time.
The reason why Logan was only a 3/5 for me was because it was so solid. It had great writing, great acting, just about everything was great and I only had three complaints really with the movie and they're minor subjective things mostly. The first was the inclusion of the healing serum which was right out of Death of Wolverine and that was also the reason I didn't like that story-line. Albeit I won't go into details, because I don't want to spoil or ruin anything for people who haven't read those comics. The other things were, and this might have just been my theater for the first one, there was a weird thing where whenever the camera changed focus it would widen and shrink in some weird way that made no sense and the fight scenes when the claws were used a lot seemed a bit heavy on the CG.
That wouldn't be enough for me to rate this only a 3/5 though. The reason why is because this was such a solid story, such a strong story really, that it made it so I don't want to go see it again. I feel like re-watching it would lessen the impact. As a movie it's a 3/5, because of a lack of wanting to repeat experiencing it, but I will list it as one of the greatest movies I've ever seen. It's in the ranks of things like Hidalgo, Lawrence of Arabia, The Wind and the Lion, and others.
Final thing, a theory I run with for all the X-Men movie franchises is that all three are in different timelines that just have similar events and circumstances, which would explain characters being weird ages, meetings happening when they do,and inconsistencies with the portrayals.

plz do a enjoy the show on get out
SpaceBalls has one and only one "Fuck" delivered beautifully by Darth Helmet [after finding that the 'Self Destruct Cancellation' button has yet to be installed] "Out of order? Fuck! Even in the future nothing works!"
When you mentioned the best f-bomb, my mind immediately went to that scene in Little Miss Sunshine. I watched that movie for the first time when I was about eleven and I don't think I've seen it in years, but I always remember that scene.
Personally, I think the Wolverine should show up as a cameo in future X-Men movies, but never as Hugh Jackman. Maybe a text message, a "Logan told me to tell you you're a dick," maybe some Deadpool complaining about how someone with claws would be really fucking useful right about now. In a photo wall or archive footage in a flashback, at the most. Give the man a break.
I want Hugh Jackman to have a cameo in Deadpool 2 not as Wolverine but as Hugh Jackman
Ok now thats a good idea.
