alan moore is an insane person who worships a snake.


with ben, daredevil pretty much scarred him and since he loved the character and got hosed over, so he swore off superhero roles (a lot of actors got hosed over with heroes they liked and then just swore them off, but when you get offered batman, you kinda don't pass). so it makes sense on just why he looks so absolutely miserable. he knows what a pile of poo poo it is and will be stuck with it. its kind of ironic, since has come into his own as a filmmaker/screenwriter so he knows what is good and what isn't. it isn't a surprise that basically everyone is saying the batman portion of the movie is the best part, which is probably due to him.

the only good thing is that he will get his own solo batman movie which will probably be better than anything snyder does because affleck is a far more competent director. i'm reading now that they went with zack snyder over ben affleck for man of steel. on what loving planet do you chose a guy whose film won best picture that he acted, produced and directed in over zack snyder? is zack snyder sucking someone's cock at warner brothers? loving hell.

Zack did a press interview a few months ago where he admitted most of his roles post-Watchmen simply come from lowballing other directors for open gigs. Affleck says he can do BvS for 300 million (120 million in shooting costs, 30 million in actors, rest in marketing), Zack cuts his SAG fee plus uses his own studio space on WB lot to throw in a 250 million offer (90 million shooting, 24 million for acting, 50 for marketing, rest is float). Its the same gimmick Michael Bay, Rick Berman and Jerry Bruckheimer apparently did, use your own space/toys for most of the big ticket items and undercut the more talented and union mandated league table directors/producers when bidding on scripts/franchise rights.

Uhhhhhhh jfc thats a pretty huge loving scene to excise. Extended cut may actually be pretty bonkers if this is the sort of stuff they left out.

I can get why it was cut. As someone who hasn't seen the film, yet, it seems almost insubstantial in terms of anything that means a thing. It either needed to have a bit more to it. Admittedly, though, if tied to other cut material, maybe it would have some elevated meaning.

Kanye setting trends with his album patches, can't wait til we get Batman V Superman 1.1 in the theater.

I actually almost suspect if the film does just good enough business that DC will pull it from theaters as it is just about to fall out of the top 10 and announce a limited 2 week theatrical run of an extended R-rated or an unrated cut in select cities. Given the success of Deadpool and the approaching Suicide Squad, I could see them using it as almost a PR stunt.

goddamn. its one thing to do single films by low-balling other directors, its another to accept that when you are doing your tentpole franchise movie. i mean, its going to make a boatload of money, that's not in doubt. but lovely word of mouth will carry over to other films and people will be more cautious.

You really think, for example if they released a justice league by zach snyder, ppl wouldnnt also go see it in droves?

How would that even work? Supes would have to wear a cockring with, like, a single gram of kryptonite in it just to keep him from accidentally ripping Batman's dick off with his butt muscles or shooting him with super sperms.

Batman is always prepared for everything so obviously the moment he saw superman trashing the city he prepared not only for them fighting but also for the possibility of them boning down. He no doubt has all sorts of kryptonite infused lubes and fucktoys.

Even thought the DCAU is cool as a whole, I kind of wish it was done in the style of early Batman TAS instead of by Justice League there were like 4 templates for each gender.

I think that early style of animation was too good/costly to keep going. Batman TAS has Justice League style animation by the time it was complete. the cross over Batman/Superman episodes are basically indistinguishable from episodes of JLU

sucks to be right
It's interesting that in the version of Superman in the old Flesicher cartoon is a less powerful and a more vulnerable than the modern version. The flying robot threw him off really easily, he got tangled in those electrical lines pretty badly and the robots at the secret lair actually beat him down for quite a while whereas modern Superman would have torn through them like a wet paper bag.

Actually the Superman of the 50s could pull off stunts like attaching a giant chain to the Earth and dragging it into a new orbit so I guess the power creep happened really early. I guess that also explains all the wacky stories in the 50s and 60s where he's playing pranks on Lois and Jimmy because there really wasn't anything left that would be a physical threat to him so they had to fall back on character based stories, and if your character is the most powerful and invulnerable being on the planet there's not a lot for him to do except be a dick to his friends.

quality speaks for itself

if that stuff about Snyder low-balling for the job is true (it's a Hal-2005 post though so ¯\_(ツ)_/¯), it's one of the most insidious ways our current system short changes us. Everything is about margins and profit so things almost always go to low bidders, despite the tendency for low bidders to be usually either fudging things or just cutting corners, or in Snyder's case just having an awful track record but welp were saving 40 mil guess he's the best choice. Even if he costs us long term and the franchise bombs.

But apparently a lot of people like garbage so I guess it all works out in the end

Robots being evil in Alien is nothing new. I thought David at least had some just cause, really; he's already working a secret mission, which is to save his "father". That explains why he wants to test the effects of the alien substance on that guy, to determine its effects and study its symptoms, all in the hopes of saving the old man. The rest of it comes from his conversation with the same guy, who basically dismisses robots and laughs at David's feelings about how humans and machines should interact. "How would you feel if God told you that?" David asks. Basically, he's disillusioned by his whole life, and this enables him to make the logical leaps he does that gets the crew killed.

Likewise the Browns should be happy with Josh McCown. Sure he'll never draw in the money or success of a Drew Brees or Peyton Manning or Tom Brady. But, gosh darn it, all that matters is if you have fun playing the game while your fans boo you off the field.

Just saw the movie with my kids.

My reactions:

- Holy Cow Ben is ripped. Dude has def been juicing.
- I want to see a wonder woman movie of her exploits in WWI.
- Lex Luthor was improperly cast. Should have been Bryan Cranston.
- Now I'm worried that DC is going to cram the flash, cyborg, and aquaman into a justice league movie without developing the characters.
- They totally could have made two (maybe three) movies out of the stories they crammed into this one. The series could have culminated with with superman's "death".

After reading all the reviews I was expecting to be completely let down. I wasn't. It's still a fun movie.

it's a good thing the goo makes the guy immediately father a huge tentacle monster. If it had just given him dry mouth and a slightly higher chance of pancreatic cancer, David wouldn't be able to tell

I mean, gently caress, even if the goo made the guy stop aging and be immortal, David still wouldn't have been able to tell

so David could only "determine it's effects and study its symptoms"if its effects and symptoms were something immediate and visually obvious, like turning into a caveman monster or fathering a huge tentacle beast monster.

It felt like a fun take on Lex Luthor, honestly. We've had a lot of various Lexes over the years, and this one felt fresh and interesting while not being out of character for him. It's not my favorite Luthor, but he's one of the few moments of fun in this whole film, particularly the jar of piss gag.
