Avoiding the mad rush for the exit…
That’s right.
Gaffer? Foley? Stuntman?
Foley in medical terms = catheter.
Head piss-collector in charge?
“best boy grip” and “dolly grip” are some of my personal favorites.
This leaves out the most important reason… “Who WAS that guy/girl?!?”
Or the even more important: Settling the debate that broke out after 10 minutes, if that guy there in the back, no that guy, with the sunglasses, is that Robert de Niro?!?
or to see extra footage to make sure Samuel L. Jackson wasn’t in the movie
I disagree.
I would say that the main reason for staying to watch credits is to catch extra footage, and the making fun of people’s names/jobs is just something fun to do to pass the time.
I concur with your disagreement.
I concur, with your agreement with his disagreement.
Agreed.
Or in the case of Star Trek to skim through them (because they scroll to fast to read ALL of them) and sit in awe of how many accountants/producers it took to MAKE the movie.
I try not to think about it.
I usually am a bit curious, but there were literally at least 3 places in the credits where they listed “accountant” and their assistants.
So we’re talking a minimum of 18 accountants for this movie.
Either they were crediting people who usually don’t get credit, or this movie cost more than your average fun time.
What about to “listen to the music.” Sometimes the best music is at the end.
Second that…
looking up what that one hot girl was called
Have a sticky keyboard do we?
What about to watch hidden scenes after credits like in X-men?
That would be under “extra footage”.
I was watching the Wolverine movie with some friends, and I thought about how the Iron Man movie had something after it, so I said that I wanted to stay and watch until the end of the credits. I chose right.
I wouldn’t have stayed if they payed me too.
That movie left a sour taste in my mouth and I didn’t care what one-liner stunt Jackman pulled at the end.
The biggest reason I watch the ending credits is to find out the name of a band/person who’s song is in the movie.
Yes, me too.
Oh yeah!
I remember watching a kids’ talking-animal movie, and there was actually a ‘animal leavings cleanup’. That’s NOT what I want to be known as…the crap collector.
I’ve been staying behind to watch the credits since a decade ago, long before it became “fashionable” to do so because of the possibilities of post-credit-scenes. Though, because of this, I’ve yet to actually miss one, and I never tire of my friends freaking out because they rudely walked out during the credits and missed the extra stuff. I try to pay respect to the people who have helped make the movie I just enjoyed, so I attempt to read every name, which becomes really difficult with movies like The Matrix and Lord of The Rings, which have credits screaming by at the speed of sound for ten minutes straight.
It’s exercise for the eyeballs, damnit!
Has no one watched Leslie nielson movies?
No one has mentioned this one…
My Mum always stays to see how many countries it was filmed in.
Also, I agree with Jessica: to know the names of the songs in the movies.
Am I the only one who plays the Dave game?
No no no. It’s to find out what songs played, and the bands that played them.
From everyone in the movie industry to you-
Switch red and orange.
They forgot “finding out if there were any characters played by the same person” and “remembering all the characters in the movie” that’s why I watch it sometimes.
Personally, I look for Jeffs. A friend of mine said a film can only be awesome if it has 3 Jeffs in the credits. Jeffrey and Geoff count as halves. Geoffrey can be counted if it was a brilliant film but you’ve only found 2.5 Jeffs.
Gets tough in foreign films…
My little sister and I always look for the “Negative Cutter,” because it sounds like the stupidest job ever. Like… that’s all you do? You cut negatives?
Is negative cutting something like “attaching” / “putting it back together”? *wonders*
hey buddy, i work in the movie industry. i stay to finish my pop-corn.
I agree. But you left out “screaming at Leonard Nimoy’s name”.
BEST BOY GRIP!
I once saw someone with the last name “Titcomb.”
SO TRUE.
to look for Kevin.
I’ve found about 2 movies ever without a kevin…
To get ideas for baby names – the most recent movie we were at (Star Trek) was surprisingly helpful in adding another one or two to the shortlists!
orange comes more than red for me
Most important reason missing: Finding out the movie number (which they always show at the very end, bastards!) and breaking in uncontrolled spontaneous joy if finding out it is prime, product of large primes or has some other interesting property.
You want to see who that hot girl/guy was in the supporting role
i stay to see the bonus footage, but i regret doing that for “the hangover”. thats something you cant unsee!
xD ah-ah, red and orange, but mostly red… so true, me and my girls do that everytime.
I would also say, to hear the credits music;)
I once seen an aisatain to the pop corn maker, LIKE WTF
Haha, this IS true.
