Eugi Posted November 19, 2003 Share Posted November 19, 2003 Hey there. I was watching the matrix reloaded DVD last night after I shut down my computer, and I was watching the credits to listen to the crappy songs that they put on (mainly the P.O.D one and the Linkin park one). But it wasn't the music that left me with a thread inspiration, it was the credits. My question is...if you know or suddenly find out that the credits of the movie you just watched have a song you really love to hear at that time, or anything that would catch your time while watching - would you stick till the end credits oft he movie just to watch it? I personally don't (Either I have to urinate HORRIBLY, or I have better things to do, maybe just want to enjoy the sunlight after all the darkness).

Oukan05 Posted November 19, 2003 Share Posted November 19, 2003 Sometimes, I would watch the credits; as long as they play my favorite song first. I love the matrix reloaded movie too. The only thing that got me into watching the credits was waiting for the sneak preview of matrix revolution. The movie "How the Grinch Stole Christmas (with Jim Carry)" played my favorite song during the credits. It was "Where are you Christmas." I just love listening to that song. Faith Hill is so cool. Anyways, it all depends on what comes up after the credits. It could be either bloopers, images, sneak previews of a new movie, or the songs played. So, yeah I would [U]sometimes[/U] watch over the credits. "I better see some bloopers.":shifty: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baron Samedi Posted November 19, 2003 Share Posted November 19, 2003 I don't get it... If there is a song I really love, or something to catch my attention that I want to see... Of course I would stay. WHy not? If there was nothing else to do, I'd stay there. I don't really see a question here. lol. If there is something I want to see or hear, I'll wait behind.

Semjaza Posted November 19, 2003 Share Posted November 19, 2003 Usually by the time the credits roll around, I just want to get out of there. I don't eat or leave during the entire movie, so I'm usually pretty antsy near the end. Plus I have to drive and I don't want to be getting out of the place with 50 other cars. I only stay if I know there is a scene afterwards. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The (Sic) Shape Posted November 19, 2003 Share Posted November 19, 2003 Yeah I would stay for the credits for a song that I love, since I got nothing better to do since I spent about an hour and a half of my life for a movie. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, the whole point of some credits is to see how the actors and actress screwed up during the movie :D that is the brst. I think thats the point on most credits are the bloopers.:wigout: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
destro53 Posted November 19, 2003 Share Posted November 19, 2003 The only time I ever stayed for credits was when I went to the movie with my girlfriend. But we won't go into that.... Otherwise I find credits (including the music and any bloopers or bonus scenes) boring. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kanariya Posted November 19, 2003 Share Posted November 19, 2003 I don't stay for the credits in the movie. I only came to see the movie, not the credits. Even if there is a good song while the credits are on, I would still leave because I would want to go home unless I went to a movie with my friends. They might want to listen to a good song and we'd might stay. But hardly we every do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
the_fizz Posted November 19, 2003 Share Posted November 19, 2003 [color=royalblue] I love to stay thru the credits, to make fun of all the different names people have. :demon: I know it is a little mean, but hey don't knock it, until you have read some of the name in the credits of a movie. :laugh: In addition, I like to find out who was who in the movie sometimes (like in animes and the voices).

Guest rttocs77 Posted November 20, 2003 Share Posted November 20, 2003 Out of respect for the cast and crew I watch the credits. It's pretty annoying how some people, as soon as the credits start rolling, get up and leave and make a big commotion. It was nice in the old days when they played all the credits at the beginning, so you had no choice but to sit and watch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wrist cutter Posted November 20, 2003 Share Posted November 20, 2003 The ONLY reason to watch that Final Fantasy movie would be to see the credits, as L'Arc~en~Ciel has a song as an ending theme. But that's just one case of course. I like to think any MST3K fan would sit through the credits after Crow's comment "Why do people always leave during the credits? I always [i]stay[/i] for the credits." So that would include me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I like to stay for the credits, especially if there are some extra scenes afterwards, but as soon as the attendants throw on the big spotlights to start cleaning, you can't see them anyway.:naughty: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OlgaTheDwarf Posted November 20, 2003 Share Posted November 20, 2003 Okay, this may not have anything to do with what you guys are talking about. But I just bought the [i]LORT: TT[/i] extended edition. It's great, but about 15 of the 43 extra minutes is this crappy LOTR fan club credits. WTF! Why does Peter Jackson think I'd want to watch that. He did it with the [i]Fellowship[/i] extended edition too. All it is, is a novelty for people in the fan club; "OMG, I was mentioned in the LOTR movie." Now, yes I would probably enjoy it if I was part of the club, but I'm not, so I'm going to complain instead. Bleh, waste of 15 minutes! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jinzouningen17 Posted November 20, 2003 Share Posted November 20, 2003 You dang skippy I stay for the credits. If I go to a movie, I'mma get my moneys worth. Meanin I'mma go see the previews, snack items, movie, AND credits. I aint gonna waste $10 like that and just watch a movie. Hell, I may even stay 5 minutes after the credits are done just for the heck of it....okay, I'm just playin there. But if you leave a movie before the credits are done rollin, you may miss somethin good at the end. Like with Fast and the Furious, if you walked out before the end of the credits, you missed the alternate ending....well, most of the time. They didnt show the alternate ending on all the showings for some reason. But I was lucky enough to go to the showing that tehy did show the alternate ending for. Although it wasnt really worth stayin since it was just Dom driving around the beach and thinking to himself. But eh, it was different from the normal ending. Plus, you definetly get to hear the songs in the movie and find out what the names of em are so you can get them yourself. *shrugs* Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bing Posted November 21, 2003 Share Posted November 21, 2003 [size=1][color=darkblue]Erm, I only stay in the credits if I've fallen asleep, or if I recognise and actor/actress and remember their names, because that really bugs me. However, quite a few idiots find it fascinating to wave there hands in the way of the projecter... 'Woah, look my hands on the screen' *dies of over-excitement* ...Anyway... In the first post in this thread, I picked out this... [quote]watching the credits to listen to the crappy songs that they put on (mainly the P.O.D one and the Linkin park one). [/quote] Can I ask what P.O.D song ,and what Linkin Park song is at the end of Matrix Reloaded? When watching the first two films on DVD, I have to watch the credits, because both films have Rage Against Against the Machine songs as soon as they start rolling. The Matrix has 'Wake Up', and Reloaded had 'Calm Like A Bomb'. I was quite dissapointed at the fact there was no Rage song for the end of Revolutions! To finish off my post, I wil lhold my hand in the air, and tell rttocs77 that I'm a firm believer in credits at the start, not the end. --Bing [/color][/size] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even back then though they didn't put EVERYONE involved in the credits at the beginning. Seriously guys though, it takes a lot of work on everyone part to make a movie (even crappy ones), it only makes sense to sit through the 5-10 minutes worth of credits, if not out of respect to those involved in the filmmaking process, but to see if there is anything interested afterwards.

Moor_Child Posted November 22, 2003 Share Posted November 22, 2003 I hate it when they put an extra scene at the end of the credits cause I usually miss it because the people I'm with don't want to stay. But otherwise I'd stay. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Artemis Posted November 22, 2003 Share Posted November 22, 2003 My friends and I make a big joke out of staying through all the credits. I find it somewhat funny when all the theatre workers are standing at the back of the theater waiting for you to leave so they can clean. The first time we did it, it was just to be stupid. Now, it's sort of tradition (provided we don't have somewhere we have to be or someone doesn't desperately need to use the restroom.) Another friend pointed out to me that out she watches all the credits for sheer respect for all the behind the scenes people who put a lot of work into the movie and are hardly acknowledge. She figures, the least you can do is watch their names roll by...lol I also have fun making an idiot out of myself by dancing crazily to the music playing during the credits... :laugh: :P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[/B][/QUOTE] I agree wholeheartedly! I stay because who knows? One day my name will be up there as an editor or something XD LOL. But in all seriousness, filmmaking is tremendously hard work, and I want to give my respects to fellow filmmakers who've spent hours upon hours trying to put a movie together. It's a little sad that not many seem to bother looking at who the screenwriter(s) and cinematographers are, much less gaffers and grips, wardrobe, set design, etc. Without those working behind the screen, a film cannot exist at all, and acknowledging their impact on the film shouldn't be seen as a bother. Walking out on the credits is almost like walking out on someone making an important speech. IMHO, we should be throwing praises their way for their efforts; without people doing work behind the screen, movies would not exist, and without the influence of films, television wouldn't be around either (I better stop before I start quoting Eisenstein, Arnheim, Metz and Mulvey XD). Of course, that's just me. I come from a perspective where I'm working hard to get into film production, so I like to give my appreciation in any way I can to those who do what I want to do. Sitting through 15 minutes of credits is the least I can do. :gets off of soapbox: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rockstar Haruko Posted November 24, 2003 Share Posted November 24, 2003 If the music that comes on with the credits sounds good, then I will stay and listen. I've done that a lot of times. Sometimes after the movie, I like to sit and reflect on it and listen to the music especially if the movie was very moving ( i.e. American Beauty). Then there are times when I just don't feel like getting up. Pathetic, I know, but hey. That's how I catch scenes that you would normally miss if you hadn't stayed.

Guest rttocs77 Posted November 24, 2003 Share Posted November 24, 2003 The only movie I have ever been to where EVERYONE stayed for the credits was Elephant. Other than that people jump up to leave ASAP and start talking right away. I think that's very rude. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heretic_Hatred Posted January 10, 2004 Share Posted January 10, 2004 I would stay through the credits for my fav song. I did once during a 4 hour movie, and ended up sprintin to the bathroom...my friend kept mentioning water after i drank a cup of soda...it sucked! but oh well theres my choice :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
