Rhyno posted:Was it a leak or just a guess because the previous trailer also used a song from Wayne's World? I think I made a reference/suggestion about using Ballroom Blitz due to a Wayne's World connection about a month or so ago. I'm actually surprised it turned out that one ended up happening. Maybe it's a running gag going on that this is (Bruce) Wayne's World: This is the crap he has to deal with every single day/night.

Yoshifan823 posted:This might out me as a tool, but Linkin Park's fourth album is actually real good. It's simultaneously a really obvious album about how terrible nuclear war is and a touching one about about suicidal depression. And they're way different from Hybrid Theory, a lot less rap-rock-y than they used to be. I don't give a poo poo about anything they did after that, they made the one thing they were meant to make and now they're back to making Dumb Bullshit. Yeah, I don't really care about the rest of their work, I loving love A Thousand Suns and I ain't ashamed to say it. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gIMo1WoHcfE

Steve2911 posted:I saw this performed live. A dark period in my life. Yeah, it's not a particularly great album by the traditional definition, and none of the songs save for Waiting for the End are spectacular on their own, but it's a cohesive whole, and having your mid-album climax song (the aforementioned Waiting for the End) essentially be a musical suicide attempt is dope. It beats you over the head, for sure. I mean gently caress, the MLKjr quotes, the Robert Oppenheimer quotes, it is not a subtle album, but I've never been the biggest fan of subtle, so it works.

Going back to merchandising for a second: ICE CREAM WAR I'm with Cap Meanwhile DC still just has Dark Choco Knight which has been around since the Bale films, so obviously BvS is a failure.

So does anyone want to venture a guess why Boomerang is at one point holding a stuffed unicorn in Suicide Squad, because there's a cut in that trailer where he's holding a big pink one while slicing through a thing's head.TFRazorsaw posted:I'm not saying GOTG invented anything.

A marketing campaign is trying to make you think of another popular, financially successful movie with a cast of mostly unfamiliar actors? I am shocked. I think the key difference is that the music is for the trailers only. Up until a few months ago Ayer was going to have zero score or music of any kind outside of incidental diagetic stuff, with the ambiance of the situation being the backing track to everything. Someone talked him back from that since now the score's being done by Steven Price, who did Fury for him. Considering how weird Fury's score was at times, this might even end up more interesting than the "no music" idea.

Rough Lobster posted:Yeah but the thing is, Shoot Em Up is completely terrible. Counterpoint: Bellucci. This music thing is dumb because the tracks come from different sections of the 70s pie. And I can't see the SS trailer songs being integral to the story/one of the characters. Also, with the tie-ins, the most memorable food one for me was my local theatre having Batman Returns style popcorn, which was black licorice toffee-like coating, which turned out pretty awful, but the upshot was that you got a mouth like the Penguin afterward.

This is a lot like Peter Jackson bamboosling me into seeing that Lord of the Ring movie because he conjured up visions of rear end to rear end, electro shock therapy, and feeding tubes. Rough Lobster posted:Yeah but the thing is, Shoot Em Up is completely terrible. I love the Crank movies though so I'm assuming it wasn't on my end This is why it was a huge disappointment to learn I'd mixed up my director duos when I first heard about the Han Solo movie. Giving Aquaman to James Wan was just a half measure when you could have given him to Neveldine/Taylor. Hell I would have given creative control over the DC films to them over Snyder.

Can't wait for slow-mo shots of Jared Leto set to Dream Weaver whenever Harley looks at him. I mean, that's obviously where they're going with this, right? My biggest fear with Suicide Squad was that Will Smith was going to take it over and turn it into another Will Smith vehicle. Thankfully, that doesn't appear to be happening.

Fassbender already was being bandied around town after Hunger was a festival darling. I know it was the movie Pitt saw that made him suggest Fassbender to Tarantino early on in pre-production on Basterds. And Hunger was two years after 300. I'm not suggesting that Snyder broke him through to stardom or anything, but he is the guy who gave him the break he needed that probably helped get Hunger and Fish Tank off the tarmac, which led to Basterds and First Class and Fassbender being something of a name (even if at the current moment he's kind of an "anti-name" because of his preponderance to playing complete irredeemable assholes in the mainstream work he does). Other fun fact about Fassbender: he only got Basterds because Simon Pegg had to decline the role of Hicox due to Tintin. He'd already been brought in to audition for Landa based off Pitt's recommendation as mentioned above.

It's not hard to believe at all. Fury Road was given extra money for reshoots as well because the studio trusted it.

Box Office Projections have Batman vs Superman ending up somewhere roughly at $340m domestic. All time superhero domestic would look like this: Avengers: $623m Dark Knight: $534m Ultron: $459m Dark Knight Rises: $448m Iron Man 3: $409m Spider Man: $403m Spider Man 2: $373m Deadpool: $358m BVS (est.): $340m Spider Man 3: $336m So BVS would be 9th all time.

Depends on who asked for the reshoots. Most directors, when they've presented the studio with what they feel is a finished film, wouldn't think it is a good thing if the studio asked for additional re-shoots. In the case of Fury Road I'm assuming it was Miller who went to the studio and asked for more money because he felt the film needed it, not the other way around.

I've come to not even caring about money made - Dredd made gently caress all and it's one of the best goddamn action movies ever made (akin to the 80s classics like Predator, Die Hard, Terminator, etc. etc). The dick measuring contest is getting stale.
