I haven't seen BvS yet (I'd rather wait for that extended cut) but I love how he sort of hits the excesses of the aesthetic of a lot of modern day blockbusters, but his movies are ideologically opposed to them at the same time.

Kryptonite that turns Superman into a Superdick, Clark split in two to fight his dark half personified by Superman, and a supercomputer built to kill Superman that, among other things, assimilates someone Borg-style in a pretty fuckin' scary sequence all considered, definitely belonged in a better movie overall.

Man I gotta say the best part of Ant-Man was #makemichaeldouglasyoungagain why do I only ever see this technology wasted in small bits on comic book movies like that and X-Men Last Stand or whatever. Why aren't people rejuvenating great actors left and right and putting them in full length projects? Have we not reached the technological peak where we can make Harrison Ford young and human again? Why even fool ourselves into thinking the mediocrity of Chris Pratt could ever be Han Solo or Indie? Just CGI that poo poo up man.

I guess different people just like different things. Thinking about Guardians of the Galaxy is easy. I just recently thought "what ever happened to that movie?" The trick is to sell us on it.

Xealot posted:Sure, but I'd think the main barrier is getting a hot-poo poo actor to commit to one role for a decade of their career. As I understand it, Joaquin Phoenix passed on Dr. Strange for that exact reason. Remember when RDJ was still doing drugs and interesting and artistic and trying to sell himself as Chaplin and in Elton John videos? Now he's on top...top chump. Least the pay is amazing.

The Elton John video was actually after the last time he got clean. In fact it was his first job after leaving rehab. That said yeah he was still hungry for recognition and acclaim back then and was still willing to do weird and different films. Kinda lost all respect for him when he bad-mouthed indie films while also saying he wouldn't star in them anymore. What a poo poo thing to say, especially when his dad was an independent filmmaker and the entire reason he was able to get the Tony Stark role was on the back of his work since 2001 which was 90% independent productions.

You can make an old actor look young again but you can't make them feel young enough to commit to the time and rigors of a young star's roles.

If some people don't want to like it or choose to dismiss it as a dumb movie about wacky characters who use the power of friendship to win that's no skin off my nose. Dozens upon dozens of pages talking about Man of Steel haven't magically made it my favourite comic book movie, I don't expect the same for anything else. Now, if anyone actually wanted to discuss something about the movie instead of trying to "sell" it, I'd be happy to.

What a nice view you have of people like us, ugh. Probably your classmates like RDJ more than Iñarritu, the first one is Iron Man, the second one makes movies they, perhaps, don't care much about. (I like RDJ, but his comments where like "ugh, no dude. no,stop" for me.) Next time he should directly talk poo poo about the whole country, Trump style, and I bet you he would be the most hated American instantly.

If Superman reversed time, wouldn't he have undone himself stopping the first missile? And, therefore, shouldn't the first missile have still impacted and caused untold destruction? Then I stopped caring because who cares it's awesome.

Many looove RDJ (and disagreed with what Iñárritu said), and I don't have any problem with that. I just baffled me to hear them defend the "so smart for a Spanish speaker" part. Like, guys, you can like a celebrity and still call them out when they say terrible poo poo like this. And trust me, Tijuana has plenty of Trump supporters (many are rich white Mexican dudes, or people with double nationality who live here but work in the US because ARE JOBS).
