X-Men 3 - scene after the credits

Just curious, did anybody who's seen this film stay until after the credits? This morning's review in the Globe & Mail tipped me off that there was an extra scene added afterward, and indeed there was.
However, all I saw was that [person in bed] said "Hello Moira" to the nurse, and then she turned toward the voice, and then the projector was turned off and the screen just cut right to black (not like a film strip running out, but like the plug being pulled on the projector). It even cut off in the middle of a musical note in the score. I am convinced that they turned the projector off too early (even if only by 10 or 20 seconds) because scenes don't end that abruptly unless this was some weird avant-garde artsy thing -- which would kinda go against the grain of the rest of the film, which was pretty conventional.
But when I mentioned this to the ticket people outside, they assured me that the manager had told them it was meant to be that way. I didn't really believe that, but whaddaya gonna do.
So did anybody else see this scene? Did I miss anything?

Didn't you feel weird being the only guy sitting there watching the credits?

What's this supposed to mean? I was at the movie with another guy and a girl. The theatre was mostly packed with high schoolers skipping class, but everyone over the age of 18 stayed through the credits.

Well, I recognized the voice; I realize what the implication is. I just wanted to know if there was more to the scene than I saw.

if you wait until 13" after the end of the 'apocalypse now' credits, there's a short about killer bees

is that thirteen inches of film measured in radius wrapped around a spool (~3 hours) or length (~0.5 seconds) ?

What's with the "I'm the juggernaut, bitch" line?

I wondered about that, does he say it in the cartoon/comic, or was that a tribute to the internet?

sliver, we all watched it too and it was a brief scene.
I was talking to a friend about it and he said that previously in the film, the professor was lecturing some students about the morality of placing somebody's mind in another body.......perhaps this was a hint
the other scene with Magneto was quite a nice one too.

It was added in response to the popular cartoon dub/parody which is on the internet. Type it into google if you haven't seen it - very funny.

It was Xavier, he transferred his mind into the coma guy just before Phoenix fucked him up.
XMen 3 was disappointing as a whole IMO, nowhere near as good as the 2nd.

i thought the second was pretty weak. this one kinda blew. no real plot, no real conflict, colossus looked wank (as did iceman eventually), and the final battle was retarded (magneto could've killed them all with shrapnel from the bridge in seconds). my first thought when the credits came up was "that's it?"

Also the trailer made the final battle out to be some massive war between humans and the mutants, not the little shindig that it turned out to be.

There was about 50 people still in the theatre waiting for the scene after the credits when I watched it.

They've been putting shit at the end of the credits for ages. I usually watch them all the way.

To sum it up.... It pissed me off immensely.
If I were ever to run into the writer on the street, I would slap him.

You missed about 3 seconds. After he says her name, she looks at him in surprise and says "Charles?" Then cut to black.
