Cinenaut	post #21  on February 23, 2004 - 3:06 PM PST   Be sure to stay to the end of the Triplets of Belleville credits.

So many of my friends proclaim the desire to stay through the credits, but when push comes to shove, the minute one person says they wanna go it's "alright, let's get outta here" and everybody stands up but me. I then resign myself to acquiesce to their demands as I no longer have a car and am therefore at a disadvatage should I choose to stay. But I'm puttin' my foot down next time!
Cinenaut	post #23  on February 24, 2004 - 3:32 PM PST   Yeah, sometimes it takes an iron will or at least your butt planted in a seat. Let them go to the restroom! Ignore the theater employees with pushbrooms and trash cans.
IronS	post #24  on February 26, 2004 - 2:40 PM PST   I stayed after the ending of The Triplets of Belleville but the extra bit was cut off; I only saw it on the lower half of the screen. :(
sinisterguffaw	post #25  on February 26, 2004 - 6:07 PM PST   I went to see My Architect. I didn't stay. Because it was too long. Plus there was pretty much no chance of there being any goodies at the end. But I almost stayed just to see how far my "sit-in" would have lasted with my friends. But that movie is seriously too long.
artifex	post #26  on June 10, 2004 - 10:22 PM PDT   Just a note to say, stay until the end of the latest Harry Potter.
elvlee	post #27  on June 11, 2004 - 3:41 AM PDT   I, too, enjoy staying for the credits. I definitely will do so if I am expecting easter eggs/goodies ... but usually I just like to sit and soak in what I have just spent the last 1.5-2 hours (or three, for LOTR) watching. My girlfriend, however, hates it! She always wants to get going as soon as possible. :/ Usually the only way I can convince her to hold her horses is the thought of missing out on some hidden treat at the end of the credits (she hates the idea of missing something). Glad to hear I'm not alone on this one!
Cinenaut	post #28  on June 18, 2004 - 4:35 PM PDT   Shrek 2 has a bit in the middle of the end credits that halts the exiting audience in its tracks.
JBellows	post #29  on June 18, 2004 - 11:13 PM PDT   Having just finished watching it, X-men 2 has got to have the longest freakin' credits in history. Seriously, it had to be ten minutes long! And no omake or teaser in it. Tell me, who makes credits ten minutes long? I would understand if it was, you know, like sex or something. Or even good conversation with old friends after dessert coffee. That's all shiny. But credits for a movie? Its like when the cast of a play bows at the end and bows and then bows some more and just won't freakin' leave!

Hey, if you were an assitant texture mapper, you'd want credit, too. If anybody goes to see Napoleon Dynamite, be sure to stay until after the credits (and the blue ratings screen at the end).

I didn't wait til the end but the ads on TV and the newspaper said to wait to the end for the new scene. However, the new scene was added just before the credits and after the game of teatherball, so I didn't need to wait. I would have liked the extra scene a lot more if it HAD been after the credits. The real problem was the shatty editing job the theater did of splicing that scene in there. I'm only guessing the theater did it, cuz everyone else who saw it at different theaters say they saw the scene after the credits. So I've seen it twice now... once without the scene and once with the scene. It flowed better without it. Which is why it would've been fine after the credits... unless of course there is ANOTHER scene after the credits that I know nothing about...
Cinenaut	post #32  on July 26, 2004 - 1:05 PM PDT   ***Possible spoiler*** This particular scene involved a wedding.

I wish it had been after the credits. If I didn't already make that clear. I'm fond of repeating myself.
Cinenaut	post #34  on July 26, 2004 - 3:07 PM PDT   Oh, I see what you mean then. It's kind of a static scene that belongs at the end as an extra treat.
IronS	post #35  on May 6, 2008 - 9:16 PM PDT   After the credits end for Iron Man **SPOILER ALERT** Nick Fury (Samuel L. Jackson) visits Tony Stark and wants to talk to him about the Avenger Initiative. Nick is the director of SHIELD which was mentioned earlier Agent Phil Coulson of the Strategic Homeland Intervention, Enforcement and Logistics Division. I suppose this is the set-up for the sequel.

That's the great advantage of DVD -- you can fastforward from the cast straight to the songlist, and also scrap all the sponsor logos. Then if there really is a stay-in-your-seat-for-this-junk teaser at the very end, you can catch that also. (That is, one of the many advantages. Is anyone else old enough to remember when theater audiences were actually mindful of the people around them, and refrained from the sort of running commentary etc they're used to making in their homes?) > > Anything with CGI has endless credits. Hey, if you were an assitant texture mapper, you'd want credit, too. Assitant texture mappers have a job, and they get paid. They're known in the industry. They need their names up in lights as well, to the annoyance of everyone in the audience?
Cinenaut	post #37  on May 9, 2008 - 9:27 PM PDT   Thank you for that tip, Irons! The air conditioning wasn't working or something tonight and the theater was really stuffy. We might have bolted from the theater otherwise. > On May 6, 2008 - 9:16 PM PDT IronS wrote: > --------------------------------- > After the credits end for Iron Man > > > **SPOILER ALERT** > > > Nick Fury (Samuel L.

janeskid	post #38  on May 10, 2008 - 8:27 AM PDT   > At the movie theater, do you stay until the end of the credits? I hated the theater. I am 70 years old and went to a theater perhaps 3-4 times. Now I watch a movie on DVD every night. Among the many, many differences ARE THE CREDITS. I can pause them, zoom on them or skip them with the DVD. At the theater it was ALL a thing of their doing, including the credits. I was never considered.

That's the primary reason I quit going. And, as you've suggested elsewhere, subtitles or captions on a DVD can be very helpful. Older movies used to have the dialog held at a fairly constant audible level so that you didn't keep wondering what the hell they're muttering up there on the screen. Of course theater speakers are set up so high now, to overcome both of these problems, that anything loud blasts you out of your seat.
doozer	post #40  on May 11, 2008 - 2:33 AM PDT   I always sit through the credits and to hell with anybody who wont stand (sit?) for it. Especially if any of my friends did any work on the movie. I've done PA and editing work (never on anything big) so I admit to having sat around for my name before. Since I'm big on behind the scenes stuff, I recognize familiarities in little things like makeup or audio post or writing and editing (the last two are mostly for television), and am always interested in people's work so I'll stick around to see who did what. The extras at the end are also fun surprises. Like the toys I used to get in cereal boxes. Sometimes you get something, sometimes you don't. Also I really like movies who slip little jokes into the credits Jim Abrahams style.
