Corrected entry: When one of the old British people is drinking coffee, what's in the cup isn't liquid, it doesn't move or splash around, it appears to be some kind of solid brown formation.

Corrected entry: In the first scene outside the bar, Robert De Niro hides his gun behind three stacked beer bottle crates. He then slides the top crate sideways to cover the gun, but in the next shot the top two crates have been moved over.
Correction: He slides the top two crates over in the first place.

X-Men 2 (2003)
Corrected entry: Given how Mystique can apparently infiltrate any place with her shapeshifting abilities and other talents, why didn't she just free Magneto herself by impersonating the guard, rather than this convolute plan involving injecting him with iron? Or better yet, since Magneto is allowed guests, why not impersonate Xavier?
Correction: Mystique would have needed a pretty good pretext to get him out, regardless of who she pretended to be, and still couldn't have taken anything in that might have aided his escape. Hiding metal in an unsuspecting guard is far more effective, especially since the area would have been locked down as soon as the escape became apparent.

X-Men 2 (2003)
Corrected entry: One supposes the Professor could pronounce his last name any way he'd like, but not only is it pronounced Za-vier in the dictionary, there isn't a single word in English beginning with X that is pronounced "eggs" as the "eggs-avier" in the movie. Its always like "z".
Correction: The X-Men 1.5 DVD has Hugh Jackman's first reading, and Bryan Singer (reading Jean Grey) pronounces Xavier's name correctly, ie. Za-vier. This suggests that the decision to pronounce the name the way they finally did was deliberate, perhaps to emphasise the fact it starts with an 'X'.

Correction: If it's John Gielgud, then I think the confusion arises because the inside-bottom of the cup is painted dark blue.
