So I just saw Cloverfield (Not a bad movie, I would've liked more info about what happened to monster) and after reading a bit on the tubular interwebs I find out that THERE'S A F*CKING SCENE AFTER THE CREDITS!!!!!!!! WTF!!!!!!!!

Why the Hell do movie producers/directors/whoever keep f*cking doing this!!!!
AAARRRRRGGGHHHH!!!!!!!
*Pulls out hair*.....so I got that out of my system....but seriously I don't give a damn about the credits. I don't want to sit in the theatre for another 10 - 15 minutes to see a scene that should have been in the film....

Anyway can anyone give me a link to the scene or tell me what happened

I haven't seen it and don't intend to, but good to know since some of my family are planning to see it. I will tell them to stay for the credits. Which btw we never do...I hate the credits. Who cares who the stunt dog's owner was? *sigh*

Thanks for the heads up.

Apparently it's just a radio broadcast, with someone speaking backwards, saying 'It's still alive' or some shit. The family of some best boy or grip in the movie must have paid to have that put at the end so you'd notice their son's name in the credits.

There is no scene at the end of the credits. There is a blip of white noise when played backwards states: "it's still alive." You can find said clip here: http://boomp3.com/m/bd034dfca370

I like the old days when movies relied on plots and acting instead of weird gimmicks or special effects.

I always sit through credits. I consider them part of the movie.

Really? I couldn't sit through 15 minutes of sustained boredom.

I always sit through credits. I consider them part of the movie.

... we can see who made the film, and where, and who did everything. You can also see how many resources were devoted to different aspects of the film.

Booooooooooooooooring :p

On a somewhat related note, is it just North Americans who don't sit through the credits, or is it all anglophones?

Here in Quebec, most francophones sit through the credits. You know, so we can see who made the film, and where, and who did everything. You can also see how many resources were devoted to different aspects of the film.

Sitting through the credits is for pretentious idiots who think they are more intelligent for doing so. Abstract art and poetry types. The worst.

The only acceptable reasons to sit through the credits is if you or a friend are mentioned. Or the line to get out is too crowded.

why do they put them in there? simple. Alot of people put in their time and effort to help make the film and so those little easter eggs are used to keep people there so that some reconition is made.

for those who sit through the credits, the easter eggs are treats to thank them.

that's it. nothing more.

Credits are rarely that long, and it doesn't bore me.

Northern California, and about a third of the audience stays, but half of those wait for bonus scenes. The other half are looking to see if they knew anybody on the crew[/California stereotype]

I wait to the end of the credits for bonus scenes.

Credits are rarely that long

Having never actually sat through them, I wouldn't know so yeah you're probably right.


and it doesn't bore me.


I can understand seeing which actors played what could be interesting, but do you really care about the name of the co chief executive costume designer distributor?

Thank you so much, I plan to plagarize this and use it on my husband. :p

I look for the weird titles like "Best Gaffer" and, a personal favorite, "2nd Second Assistant Director" (I want to be a 2nd Second Assistant Director! What do they do?)

I presume that they assist the assistant of the assistant director

Sometimes. Or just what was involved in what went into making it work. Hell, sometimes it's just about who decided to put a nickname in their credits, no matter how inappropriate (so to speak) it is to the tone of the movie (like in Schindler's List.)

I answered this not too long ago, I wonder if it was you last time, too.

They do all the on set paper work. They are sort of a laison between the office and the set. They prepare the call sheets for the next day with the maps and the 'sides' (small pages with the pages of the script that will be shot the next day) and organize any trips that need to be taken for supplies. They also co-ordinate the department heads that aren't 'on set' (2nd Seconds' are at 'base camp' in what's called 'the Honey Wagon,' which is just a trailer with offices that producers used to send their 'honeys' too to get busy.) like transportation.

There is no "Best Gaffer," there is a Gaffer and a Best Boy.

Gaffers are responsible for designing the lighting and head the grip/electric department. Grips, under the Key Grip, set up stands, make things safe, basically rig the set. The Best Boy is the right hand (often) man to the Gaffer who heads the electricians who build and cut the lights.

I always stay through the credits. I feel its only fair to acknowledge the contributions of the many people who worked to produce the product I just enjoyed, and besides, I've never encountered silent credits, and the music is as vital a part of the movie as any. Why would I deliberately miss some of it?

Good stuff, I learned something. See that was much more interesting than silly credits. :p

I'm sure it was. I couldn't get online for days and the thread about movies (something like "Why does Hollywood come out with shite all the time?") had fallen off the pages before I got back here, thanks for having the patience to explain it again.

I hate the credits. Who cares who the stunt dog's owner was? *sigh*
I do.

I really enjoy reading all the names and strange jobs in the credits of a film, especially a film I really enjoyed. Moreover, once you start to take the time to read credits, you start recognising names. It's nice to follow the work of, say, a cinematographer, lead cameraman or screenwriter, rather than the big-named actors and directors.

I am glad to know there are people who do like it, I am glad even more that they don't run in the front of a movie so those of us that don't care for them don't have to stay to see them. :D

My hubby loves them....it is a sore subject in my house. :(

what's interesting is when someone who works on the film has the same name as you... or someone you know.

Great ribbing material there...

"hey Bill, great work on that film, too bad it sucked!" :D

When I really really really don't like a movie me and my friends will sit through the credits and firing people who we thought did a bad job. When we're firing the costume director you know the movie sucked to the core.

In Vancouver you'll see about half of the crowd stay through the credits.

It's part of the film. If you walk to walk out of the film unfinished, go right ahead, but don't denigrate people who want to see the whole thing.

That's "Craft Service" to you.

You forgot to mention that Gaffers have the second most useful kind of tape (after duct)

That's "Craft Service" to you.

Actually craft service, or 'crafty' is the person or people who put out all the snacky foods that you eat between doin' stuff, caterer is the one who brings the meals.

Most people in Australia, myself included, don't sit through the credits, I think.

Also, this (http://www.theonion.com/content/node/33246) is probably relevant. :p

Really? I couldn't sit through 15 minutes of sustained boredom.

So my guess is that you work at Micky D's, then?


Think about it...

When heard about the scene after the credits in X-Men III and Transformers I stayed. I think those are cool, and usually leave the possiblity for a sequel open.

Although I usually don't stay through the credits. Even if I actually wanted to sit through all those names(which I don't) there are too many and they go by too fast anyway. So either way its pointless unless there's a bonus scene.

I've been meaning to see Cloverfield and was looking for the threads about it here but they're all dead. CLoverfield got mixed reviews so thats why I was looking. But it seems more like there are more positive reviews than negitive ones. And I've been curious about it since they started with the commercials.

By the way I saw Meet the Spartans today. I thought it would be funny like Scary Movie but it was horrible.

So I just saw Cloverfield (Not a bad movie, I would've liked more info about what happened to monster) and after reading a bit on the tubular interwebs I find out that THERE'S A F*CKING SCENE AFTER THE CREDITS!!!!!!!! WTF!!!!!!!!

Why the Hell do movie producers/directors/whoever keep f*cking doing this!!!!
AAARRRRRGGGHHHH!!!!!!!
*Pulls out hair*.....so I got that out of my system....but seriously I don't give a damn about the credits. I don't want to sit in the theatre for another 10 - 15 minutes to see a scene that should have been in the film....

Anyway can anyone give me a link to the scene or tell me what happened

Why do you put the * in the word, it does not make you any better than others who type profanities.

It's nice to follow the work of, say, a cinematographer, lead cameraman or screenwriter, rather than the big-named actors and directors.

Or the composers. John Williams is the best!

Why do some people feel like they must sit through the credits to see who made the film? Recognition for their work? You paid to see the film in a theatre thats enough recognition...

i dont normally stay for the credits. they are a meaningless list of names to me. (sometimes its fun to see all the minor jobs that get credits)

the only time i stay for them is if i want to see who sang a song or where it was filmed or the name of one of the minor actors.

then there is a reason to stay.

Why the Hell do movie producers/directors/whoever keep f*cking doing this!!!!
AAARRRRRGGGHHHH!!!!!!!
To sort the nerds from the geeks obviously.

As a Script Writer, I promise you that I won't put "bonus" endings for the movie unless I intend to make a sequel. I can understand if they put in those endings for sequels, like Magneto getting his powers back at the end of the movie, then at the end of the credits we here Stewart's voice talking to some nurse person which sets up the mood for the next X-men movie. But when it's just BS stuff like Cloverfield (which I do plan on seeing) and there's no intention on making a sequel... Umm... WTF. You might as well put it at the end of the movie or in the beginning of the Credits after the movie fades.

That's my two cent.

In Vancouver you'll see about half of the crowd stay through the credits.

It's part of the film. If you walk to walk out of the film unfinished, go right ahead, but don't denigrate people who want to see the whole thing.

(I'm assuming you're talking to me)

I'm not trying to say anything bad to people who want to stay and watch the credits, go ahead and do it if you want...I'm just mad at the people who sneak in these scenes and extra bits of the movie after the credits, they don't even warn you that there is a scene there...If I pay to go and watch your movie either have the whole thing before the credits or tell everyone beforehand that there is a scene after...

BTW the reason so many people in Vancouver don't get up and leave once the credits start is probably because they're too high to leave their seats... jkz:p

Why do you put the * in the word, it does not make you any better than others who type profanities.

I just wanted to play it safe and not get into any trouble with mods...

The only movies where I look for watching credits are Jackie Chan's :D. I am usually the first to be out of the hall since the endings are mostly predictable and I lose interest and run out of there..:p

I watch the credits, although it can be hard with everyone getting up around you.

I like the old days when movies relied on plots and acting instead of weird gimmicks or special effects.
Aye, but then they introduced "talkies," and suddenly watching some guy wiggle his eyebrows menacingly for an hour and a half wasn't good enough for people anymore.

I cannot offer an explanation, but would like to ask why the OP makes the conscious effort to swear, but then puts an * into the profanity to pretend he isn't.

That's why I like independent films. They usually don't suck.

You haven't seen enough of them. Some of them suck really really really bad. Sometimes you can't get funding because you're an unknown talent, or you have an unconventional story, and sometimes you can't get funding because your movie sucks out loud and no one wants it made.

Unfortunately the American Idol Effect can cloud your judgment on which reason is valid.

Wow. You have a very low tolerance for...well, anything, if this gets you so worked up. Relax. Have some dip.

Sitting through the credits is for pretentious idiots who think they are more intelligent for doing so. Abstract art and poetry types. The worst.

The only acceptable reasons to sit through the credits is if you or a friend are mentioned. Or the line to get out is too crowded.

Or, perhaps I heard some music in the movie, and I wasn't sure what tune it was, who wrote it, or who sang it, or if it was symphonic, which movement. I'm a musician and a music prof, and that kind of selection interests me. So I sit through the credits. It provides a nice transition back to the reality waiting for me outside the theater. So you can take your own pretension and blow it out your anus.

I sometimes stay for the credits, because I'm lazy, because I like the song, or because there sometimes are funny names/functions.

Also, who makes the credits? And does his or her name appear in the credits?

you don't sit through the credits? what kind of person are you?!

I despise the people who get up and roam around during the credits.

I watch them all the way through, in fact I am very interested in who the foley artist is.

Also, who makes the credits? And does his or her name appear in the credits?

Presumably the editors. So yes.

Credit-making is often farmed out, so often you see a credit near the end of the credits that says something like "titles by **" where ** is the name of the title company. Editors are too busy telling people how to edit the actual movie.

Putting a scene after the end or in the middle of the credits is an effective and somewhat overused device because it upsets the viewer's assumption about when the story ended. Or something. David Mamet said it way better.

You haven't seen enough of them. Some of them suck really really really bad. Sometimes you can't get funding because you're an unknown talent, or you have an unconventional story, and sometimes you can't get funding because your movie sucks out loud and no one wants it made.

That's why I watch IFC, or go by word o' mouth.

I always get that wrong. My best friend works as a rigging best boy.

Now they should have put that line into the ending credits of Schindler's List.
I'd have given the movie an extra 1/2 star on that alone.

It's possible that people sit through the credits because they're pretentious and wish to appear informed about cinema. However, it's also possible they see something in it that you do not. This second possibility is one you might want to consider before judging people.

To recap: Pretentious idiots sit through the credits for the sake of simply doing so.

How does being a musician and being interested in what songs were used in the film -- especially if it's one I know but have forgotten the title to -- make me pretentious? The music credits are at the end of the film, so if I want to know, then I gotta wait, right? As for the transition back to reality, I'm sorry if you can't understand the simple premise that movies have relied upon for over a century -- the premise that a movie is an escape from reality and an invitation into another one. Having just seen a flight of fantasy, I'd rather land in my own time than just dash right on out into the sunlight, if that's quite alright with you. The credits serve that purpose rather well.

Touched a nerve? You sure did. A person labeling something as pretension just because that person doesn't do it is the kind of complete asshattery that always gets on my nerves.

How does being a musician and being interested in what songs were used in the film -- especially if it's one I know but have forgotten the title to -- make me pretentious?

I'm glad to see that I'm not alone in liking to sit through the credits...

And I don't even do it for every film. I was taken to see "Alien vs. Predator: Requiem" -- as if the use of a Latin word was somehow going to redeem that POS -- and could think of little else BUT wanting to see sunlight as the credits started to roll.

But if I was moved or curious, I'll hang around.

Classic! I'd forgotten about Woody's work. There's also some films where the gag reel is played over/beside the credits. Burt Reynolds used to do that a lot, and though I'm not a big fan of his stuff, his outtakes were often funny as hell. I wonder who started the trend of showing stuff during the credits as well as inserting those comments?

There's alot of us. and it's funny that those who leave early complain about missing stuff.

Yeah, I'm like that, too. If the movie sucks dick, I'll just get up and leave.

Oh, how I wish I did that during King Arthur. It was a mistake of all mistakes to wait and see just how outlandish and stupid the ending would be, when in fact there was no ending, or at least in the common context of the word.

That particular specimen is the worst movie I've seen in my life, and yes, I've seen Gods and Generals, in case you were wondering. And since that was after my King Arthur ordeal, I just walked away not even halfway through it. The only problem was that I happened to rent it, so my walking away did little good, as my dad kept it running because he wanted to finish it. And to make matters worse, my computer was only feet away from the TV, and my headphones were missing.

Those are experiences I'd rather not remember...

There's alot of us. and it's funny that those who leave early complain about missing stuff.

I was (and still am) a big fan of the fake-out endings on LOTR:ROTK, the main reason being that it showed who the real fans of the material were.


Those of us who didn't get up when the screen faded to black after the eagles flew Frodo and Sam out of Mordor knew that more was coming.

Those of use who didn't get up when the screen faded to black after the celebration/coronation at Minas Tirith knew that more was coming.

And those of us who still didn't get up (and follow up with a groan) when the screen faded to black after Frodo and company left Sam, Merry, and Pippin at Rivendell knew that one last part was coming.


That was the best... I was laughing my ass off at the losers in the theater (read: 75% of the audience) were getting up during those fadeouts. And I stuck through the credits because I enjoyed the music, as well as the art pieces that were shown.

Worst Joke Told By: Sam Hill

Here are all the lines in-between the credits, in order:
"Ohhh noooo, I feel like a caboose."
"Mongo like movie."
"Don't eat yellow snow."
"It's page 60 and there's not a single morph."
"Roundy round."
"Maybe it will snow tomorrow."
"Say, who was that behind Door #3?"
"Where's the carrot in the bath scene?"
"The thing about snowmen is that they don't really have arms."
"How many times did you spot Idiot?"
"Does anybody have a 20 on Yolanda?"
"Is the soup ready yet?"
"You want a B-12?"
"Can I have fries with that?"

Is that the little kid movie Jack Frost, or the wonderfully bad horror movie Jack Frost?

To recap: Pretentious idiots sit through the credits for the sake of simply doing so.
What nonsense.

Folks have an interest in films beyond the on-screen action. You obviously don't. Labelling them (me) 'pretentious idiots' only goes to show an immature attitude towards others' interests, and perhaps a trend of conformity that you need to break.

"Person X doesn't share the same likes as me; he must be bad!"

My family stays for credits, my friends don't. Then again my parents are of the pretentious sort...

I actually like staying for credits in a good movie: I often have a look at who did the set and wardrobe design, also the cinematography and stuntwork, and the music too. Even if there isn't bonus stuff some credits (Lemony Snickett's A Sequence of Unfortunate Events springs to mind) are just really pretty to watch.

No one in South Africa stays for credits unless they know there's a bonus, are very intoxicated, handicapped, making out, or freaking out over having had something stolen because they were too stupid to hang on to it.

These typically come in the opening credits, rumbled! Fetch HSH Prince Eric and his pretension-destroying axe!

Damn I went and saw it last night and I was wondering why the ticket said 7:00-9:21 when the credits came on at 9:05 I was thinking what the hell. Now I know shame I missed it, at least Transformers chucked the extra bit in during the credits.


I look for the weird titles like "Best Gaffer" and, a personal favorite, "2nd Second Assistant Director" (I want to be a 2nd Second Assistant Director! What do they do?)

I also enjoy looking at those titles, I swear they just make them up to make them feel better, I remember seeing one and the title of the job was, director of transportaion, and underneath that was the transport guys, the funny thing was there was only one other person (credited) that was involved with transport.

I feel sorry for the 2nd Assistant director on this film. (His name for anybody who may be wondering)

Why? It's a decent job.

I don't think it was the little kid movie... :p

Sitting through the credits is for pretentious idiots who think they are more intelligent for doing so. Abstract art and poetry types. The worst.

The only acceptable reasons to sit through the credits is if you or a friend are mentioned. Or the line to get out is too crowded.

So I just saw Cloverfield (Not a bad movie, I would've liked more info about what happened to monster) and after reading a bit on the tubular interwebs I find out that THERE'S A F*CKING SCENE AFTER THE CREDITS!!!!!!!! WTF!!!!!!!!

Why the Hell do movie producers/directors/whoever keep f*cking doing this!!!!
AAARRRRRGGGHHHH!!!!!!!
*Pulls out hair*.....so I got that out of my system....but seriously I don't give a damn about the credits. I don't want to sit in the theatre for another 10 - 15 minutes to see a scene that should have been in the film....

Anyway can anyone give me a link to the scene or tell me what happened

I hope this isn't a bad time to tell you that Iron Man had just such a scene. . .

































And in the spirit of scenes at the end of long boring sections where nothing's going on, I give you the following (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NlLeCu63HCA)

Dude, May is going to be an awesome month for movies. I mean, come on! Iron Man, Indiana Jones, Hancock, etc. Whats not to love?

I hope this isn't a bad time to tell you that Iron Man had just such a scene. . .


No freakn' way! :eek: I just saw Iron Man at the theater but I didn't stay till the very end! :(

They've been doing that forever. There's tons of movies with stuff after the credits.

On a somewhat related note, is it just North Americans who don't sit through the credits, or is it all anglophones?

Here in Quebec, most francophones sit through the credits. You know, so we can see who made the film, and where, and who did everything. You can also see how many resources were devoted to different aspects of the film.

Uh, dude, hell no.

At least here in Montreal, everyone goes away at the first hint of credits. I saw "Dans une galaxie...2" just recently and the only thing that made people stay was the funny scenes at the end. Same goes for any single movie, people leave as soon as possible.

Unless, of course, you were speaking about Quebec City and not the actual province (you gotta love those names).

Don't worry about it. My experience of after-credit scenes is that at best, they add nothing important, and at worst, they undermine a perfectly good ending (see X-men three for example).

what was the scene at the end of Iron Man?
I had to leave as soon as the credits started rolling to catch the ferry back home (otherwise it would have been another hours wait).
someone tell all, pleeeeeeezzzzeeeee!

So it's impossible to be watching the credits for reasons other than those and not be pretentious? What, would your body physically force itself out of the theater?

Touched a nerve huh? Musician of course and reality outside the theater? Thanks for proving my point.

To recap: Pretentious idiots sit through the credits for the sake of simply doing so.

Your logic is unsound, and your premises flawed. You have epically failed at logic.

Nevermind, I just checked up wiki and it says:
After the credits, Nick Fury visits Stark to inform him of the Avenger Initiative.
Which is cool 'cept for one thing: Nick Fury is played by Samuel Jackson. wtf?!

Umm, what?

I like the old days when movies relied on plots and acting instead of weird gimmicks or special effects.

Well, in the old days, most of the credits were before the film.

I always sit through credits. I consider them part of the movie.

I like you.

Who the fuck do you think makes the movies you are seeing? Oh, that's right - art types. Idiot.

Having never actually sat through them, I wouldn't know so yeah you're probably right.

I can understand seeing which actors played what could be interesting, but do you really care about the name of the co chief executive costume designer distributor?

Well, unless you had that person, the actors wouldn't be well-costumed, now, would they?

I answered this not too long ago, I wonder if it was you last time, too.

They do all the on set paper work. They are sort of a laison between the office and the set. They prepare the call sheets for the next day with the maps and the 'sides' (small pages with the pages of the script that will be shot the next day) and organize any trips that need to be taken for supplies. They also co-ordinate the department heads that aren't 'on set' (2nd Seconds' are at 'base camp' in what's called 'the Honey Wagon,' which is just a trailer with offices that producers used to send their 'honeys' too to get busy.) like transportation.

Isn't that partially the production manager's job, though?

Gaffers are responsible for designing the lighting and head the grip/electric department. Grips, under the Key Grip, set up stands, make things safe, basically rig the set. The Best Boy is the right hand (often) man to the Gaffer who heads the electricians who build and cut the lights.

And, of course, gaffers use...

I used to always stay. However, for big Hollywood blockbusters, I tend to flag after a while and just leave,

Your logic is unsound, and your premises flawed. You have epically failed at logic.

Agreed.

I sometimes stay for the credits, because I'm lazy, because I like the song, or because there sometimes are funny names/functions.

Also, who makes the credits? And does his or her name appear in the credits?

Usually the editor.

They should do credits in split screen together with funny outtakes.

Now I know shame I missed it, at least Transformers chucked the extra bit in during the credits.Except for that other extra scene that was after the credits;)

10 or 15 minutes? I don't think even the Lord of the Rings credits were that long, were they?

I don't mind sitting through credits. I'm in no rush to leave the theatre with the masses, there is often some entertaining musical endeavour, sometimes some pretty credity background... and the possibility of extra material.

If you can't be bothered to wait a couple of minutes after you just sat through 90 minutes, why complain if you miss something?

A good indicator for something like that to happen, at least in the theater I visit most of the time, is the lights. If they switch on at the credits, there is no such scene. If they don't, there is something.

Nick Fury visits Iron Man's home and invites him to join S.H.I.E.L.D. at the end of the credits Iron Man (I'm guessing you already know that). It was pretty cool, and I don't mind sitting through the credits for something like that.

Except for that other extra scene that was after the credits;)

Heh, I remember this thread.

We should have some sort of NSG notice up describing what assistant directors, 2nd assistant directors and so on do. That way, every time someone mocks them for having a superfluous role, we can just point to the notice.

You may pay to buy my painting, I'm still not going to be fine with you scratching my signature off.

I don't think that's a fair analogy. Me not watching the credits would be more akin to me covering up your signature with a frame for the painting. Your signature is still there and you still get credit for painting it, it's just that I don't really care that you painted it.

Taaaacky.

Those are actually some of the best parts of Jackie Chan and the Toy Story films.

I am glad to know there are people who do like it, I am glad even more that they don't run in the front of a movie so those of us that don't care for them don't have to stay to see them. :D

My hubby loves them....it is a sore subject in my house. :(

And your analogy doesn't work, either. Try this: you're saying that no painter should be allowed to sign their work anymore merely because you -- you personally -- like to put your frame where the signature is, or don't like reading signatures, or insert excuse here. That should make it clear that your complaining is kinda silly.

I like to see the music credits, and they're at the end. Sometimes I'll hear a song in the film I know, but can't remember the title to, or I'll hear the singer and want to know if it's who I think it is. To me, it's worth the three-to-five extra minutes. Again, the credits also provide a buffer zone to transition back to the world outside the theater -- y'know, where the movie makers not only encouraged us to escape reality, but in fact DEPEND on our need to do exactly that.

This is honestly a miniscule issue, but it is a welcome diversion from politics, sex, religion and crime. So, in a weird way, thanks.

Maybe you should have been a little more cunning and thought about a possible easter egg. It's not their fault you were too quick to shut it off and go onto something else. You know they've done this for, I don't know, decades and I'm amazed that people are surprised when one eventually shows up every now and then...

If you like a song or something you can usually just find that on the internet. Any Wikipedia article on the film will probably have a section on Music in the film.

Or to enjoy the soundtrack. Or to check how the movie was made.

If you don't like the credits at the end, leave, just don't complain afterwards because you missed something.

If you don't like that, buy yourself a DVD and stop going to the theaters.

Films aren't purely for your entertainment. People dedicate their life to their work, and your measly $10 ticket is nowhere near the recognition some of them deserve.

As much as I'm all for recognising the hard work put into a film.. "dedicate their life"? Really? We're talking about the closing credits here.

Hollywood isn't the be-all-and-end-all of studios.

But it is a common metonym for them.

I can appreciate the credits. But it used to be a tradition to state at the begining of a movie to "stay tuned after the movie for a special music video/bloopers/etc." Which generally played after the credits. It wouldn't be so bad if this was still the case.

As much as I'm all for recognising the hard work put into a film.. "dedicate their life"? Really? We're talking about the closing credits here.

That comment was in response to New Manvir, and if you agree with "the people got paid that's credit enough" you're not for "recognising the hard work". You realise the closing credits aren't just the extras. The editor or cinematographer doesn't even get mentioned in the opening titles, and yes, "dedicate their life" would be the term I'd apply to people in those roles.

This thing still going...I don't even care anymore...
