Please let Zack Snyder direct a Metal Gear movie. I think it would actually be really good and appropriate

Tiberius Christ posted:Well Zach Snyder did direct a couple superman movies that's basically loving around with nerd religious icons and any radically different treatment on them is going to send the fanatics into a frenzy. It's the classic case of audiences getting upset because the movie on the screen doesn't match the movie in their heads. I don't love everything Snyder does but everything he does do is vibrantly different from whatever the current fashion is. He's completely willing to put what's in his head on the screen and he doesn't let anyone push him around. I really respect that.

That's because the original Dawn of the Dead is both amazing, and also in no way a perfect film. Night of the Living Dead, Day of the Dead? Those are untouchable and woe be any who try to remake them. DAWN of the Dead? That's easily the least best made of the three, with the most amount of flaws and weird bullshit going on. It might be the least subtle movie ever made by human hands and it has the weirdest tone shifts. A good remake of Dawn of the Dead can stand on its own well enough to be its own thing and be judged accordingly because no one is going to remake the original nor want it remade to the letter. Snyder made a good remake.

I should say I don't really like the Dawn of the Dead remake, but that's more of personal preference to the original and the remake not really clicking for me.

Like, how full bore will be go with the objectivist stuff? Will we get something like Bioshock that criticizes it, or something more genuine? At this point Snyder is a director who will always put my butt in a seat for their movies. Him and Edgar Wright.

Snyder's Dawn of the Dead was also written by James Gunn, I think his first script after his Troma stuff.

Fountainhead has a guy blowing up a building, and then making a skyscraper that is a monument to man's achievements from the proceeds of a defunct newspaper. He also gives a speech in court about how cool he is, which causes the judge to declare him "not guilty" even though he's got plenty of evidence that this dude did, in fact, blow up a building. It's a wacked-out dreamworld from the mind of someone who was mentally 17 so OF COURSE Snyder is attracted to it. He loves that poo poo.

I never watched Man of Steel because I didn't like how it looked. Shallow, I know, but the desaturated palette and high-contrast shadows reminded me of the lovely pirated dvds I used to watch when I was a kid. I guess it's worth a shot? The MCU is boring.

Slim Jim Pickens posted:Your bar for insanity is too low. You don't think a sane person could have sat down for a day and planned that out? Maybe it's just me, but Man of Steel has some incredibly rich colors in it (like pretty much every Snyder movie). Hopefully you didn't get that impression from that "What if Man of Steel Was in Color?" video because the person who made that intentionally changed the color palette just to prove a non-existent point. And not to open that can of worms, but I would recommend watching it. As someone who was always bored by Superman, I think it did a good job of giving him depth in a way that hadn't been done in movies previously. But I also really like Batman v Superman, so your mileage may vary. As for the Kojima MGS2 stuff, I think his process was basically locking himself in a room for long periods of time to write the plot so we got the great stuff in MGS2 as a result of lots of isolation, apparently.

Snyder wanting to do The Fountainhead is a little overblown, since he specifically talks about how he related it to the artistic process. It seems less that he's into Ayn Rand and more that he just read that book and thought huh, this sums up some of the things I feel as an artist. If he was an objectivist I wouldn't be surprised mind, given some of the stuff in MoS and BvS, but still.

I'll have to give it a go, since now I've heard it's markedly divergent from the other superhero movies. I wouldn't say it's that extremely different. Like yeah it's definitely noticeable, but it is the same ballpark of "superhero movie". There's two really big things about Man of Steel specifically that set it apart. One is that it is expressly sincere. There's no "you should change your name to SHIELD instead of that long-rear end acronym" style of witty banter. The closest thing I can kinda compare to is the original Thor. Thor in that film is the same sort of "yes this world of magic actually exists", although he's a bit of an rear end in a top hat at the beginning. The second thing is that Superman is not really the star of his movie for a significant chunk of it. The first 20 minutes or so of the film could be an entirely separate short film titled "Krypton" and it would work out perfectly. This goes away the farther you get into the movie, but a theme that continues into BvS is about the world reacting to Superman, not necessarily what he does but who he is.

There is no such thing as an objectivist who says "Superman is my favorite superhero." There is no Objectivist who gives an interview and says "helping people is cool." The idea of a Superman is functionally the Antichrist to Objectivists and would repel an Objectivist director like garlic to a vampire. "Zack Snyder could be an Objectivist" means that you don't know anything about either one of those things. Let's kill that dumb rumor dead, ok?
