The best Snyder movie is Watchmen, and even that one feels like they should have picked someone else to direct it

Like, it's a decent movie because the source material was so good and Snyder wasn't quite able to gently caress it up, but not for lack of trying

Paul Feig appears to be facing some fallout now and his career is hurt if not crippled, and that's great, but Snyder needs to follow suit and fast

Is he? i kinda hope so. he comes off as a stupid arrogant prick who doesnt know how to make a real comady movie that isnt 1.turn on camera, 2. let actors/actress do whatever. plus the dumb PR poo poo. gently caress him.

Paul Feig's problem is that he's a man in his 50s who still hasn't gotten over how he was treated in high school, and it's hard to feel sympathy for someone like that.

Sucker Punch is what would happen if you let a teenager make his own movie and then you sabotaged it to hurt him.

Sucker Punch is like someone making a live-action version of Heavy Metal specifically because they hated it.

Sucker Punch is what would happen if someone tried to delete their porn browsing history but accidentally made a movie out of it instead.

Sucker Punch is Zack Snyder basing a movie around the time his parents walked in on him masturbating.

"Boohoo they didn't get the tracking errors right" gently caress vcrs man nobody cares

Um... dude, there was no jokes. It was one joke stretched out for 30 minutes. It's like Sausage Party, which is one joke stretched out for 90 minutes.

I think people in love with Kung Fury are in love with the concept, but there just aren't any jokes in it. It's just a lot of random poo poo happening. Only retards think random = funny. You're a retard

shyamalan hasn't made a twist movie ending in a while. the last airbender and the happening were just stupid movies. i also vaguely remember a movie involving the devil that didn't have a twist either

he hasn't made a good movie for longer than that, but every few years studios forget that he's a bad filmmaker and write him a check to make another piece of poo poo

I think they should make a Biblical Cinematic Universe where Ben-Hur teams up with Jesus, Moses and Saint Peter to fight the Devil. They constantly mention Mohammad but he's always just conveniently off-screen like Niles' ex-wife Maris on Frasier.

I want to remake it where they are just losing their minds and it scares the kids that they're walking around with no clothes on and making GBS threads on the floor.

Not seen the film but how the hell does that work anyway? Ok, so I take it they go and visit without their parents and they haven't seen their grandad in a while. But surely they must have seen some pictures of them or something. There's a lot of contrivances there to set up that "twist".

Just watch The Eagle on Netflix. It's not great but pretty good. Don't subject yourself to new Ben-Hur.
