As a way to squeeze yet another ounce of shit out of the dead rat that's X-Men cinema, they're doing Days of Future Past.

Why do I object to Days of Future Past? It's the equivalent of the Temporal Cold War in the Star Trek Universe, an idea that would have been great as a one-shot repeatedly dragged out and retconned into current continuity rather like Bernie. It's the kind of time-travel story that makes you want to go back to kill Hitler to prevent Marvel comics from publishing time-travel mutant holocaust stories. Unlike Doctor Who that delivers a few minutes of bafflegab and get on with it, it's a time-travel narrative that invites its authors to explain how the time-travel works getting caught in a briar patch of incoherent contradictions with a half-dozen messiahs springing from the loins of a character who grows more tedious with each passing decade.

And they can't use Kevin Bacon in the most fashionable submarine in history anymore.

While I am a little concerned about the movie, I think you're being pessimistic here. Days was and still is a fine storyline, except it was maybe too short for the amount of things in it. But that was normal then. Now the fact they couldn't let go of it afterward is a separate issue and doesn't make the original story suck. I could see your point if they were about to do a second time travel movie, but it's just one based on one of the most well-remembered stories. And they needed a way fix the cast and continuity.
