Did Ghost Rider have to be inside a vehicle to have it stay transformed, or can he Ghost Ride it?

Al Borland Corp. posted:What about the ones that use cars instead? Robbie Reyes (the one that drives a car) has powers that come from a completely different source than the other two Ghost Riders and is more limited in what he can do. He can't just transform any vehicle he wants into a magic hellcar, it's the one specific magic car for him.

Guys, in the comics the lineage has had horses, wooly mammoths, bears, sharks, etc. vehicles are just one possibility of what can be Ghost Ridden.

He clearly likes Man of Steel but all he does is point to something in Man of Steel and that is it, as if by explaining a facet of the film that means said facet is good. He spends time comparing the film to Donner's Superman, basically describing how MoS is different and once again that is it, describing Man of Steel and through some magic that equals Man of Steel = good. He talks about the bombardment of spectacle in the film and then just says that spectacle is in service to the characters and story without actually going into it, there is talk about the "exhaustive spectacle" of the climax and how that is thematically relevant but that doesn't mean it is good. The whole video feels like he is trying to argue with someone who didn't "understand" Man of Steel when the general argument is that the film isn't good, not that it doesn't make sense. bushisms.txt fucked around with this message at 09:27 on Jan 7, 2018 |

That isn't a notion that's supported anywhere else in the film in any way, and people (justifiably) thinking that is a failure to deliver on the film's part. What is supported, by the poorly executed themes of the rest of the movie and the context of the film's creation and creators, is that Clark Kent is upset that he just killed the last Kryptonian, the only person in the universe that could make him whole and allow him to fulfill his purpose as the metaphorical (literal?) bridge. hmmm

WENTZ WAGON NUI posted:I may mix up directors but some things are solid: no movie that uses Drowning Pool deserves a second cut the Daredevil soundtrack is predominantly Evanescence and has precisely one Drowning Pool song on it that I'm pretty sure isn't in the movie I think you might be thinking of the 2004 Punisher movie (which, ironically, also has a better director's cut) there, but that might have just been the trailer?

It's in a fight scene I think somewhere in the first 1/3rd of the movie which also includes Daredevil snagging his cane(?) on a ceiling fan and spinning around kicking a bunch of guys in the face. I haven't seen this movie since High School and that + a few other shots are just seared into my brain for being lol stupid

I swear that there was a different song thst wasn't Evanescence playing in the training sequence during the theatrical run. I distinctly remember that they changed it to Evanescence in the DVD cut.

"Give me five bees for a quarter," you'd say. Now where were we? Oh yeah: the important thing was Superman wore his underpants on the outside, which was the style at the time. They didn't have white underpants because of the Kryptonian war. The only pants you could get was those big red ones...

The Daredevil movie makes me sad. It was on track to be based on Frank Miller's pretty good run, and be all dark and grim. Bits of that survived. However, while it was late in production, Spider man opened and made a bajillion dollars. And so heaps of lovely CGI and bigger action scenes were added to make it more like Spiderman, so the end result is a loving weird movie that shifts tone constantly, before cutting to a terrible CGI Daredevil climbing a ladder. The thing is, two years later, Batman Begins came out and made 'grounded comic book movies' a thing. Daredevil could have been that.

There's also the scene where Jennifer Garner tries really hard to beat up a blind guy, unaware that he's superhuman. Also, the film's love story kicks off with Murdock not taking no for an answer. As uneven as the TV show is, it's depressing how much worse the other piece of Daredevil media is.

I'd probably like it better now if I ever watched it again because I've become way more unabashed in enjoying corn as I've gotten older. BUT, IIRC the movie was too tonally discordant to even work as an extended Evanescence video. If you're gonna make melodrama work you have to commit all the way.

Daredevil was one of the final "90s" movies, the same way historians measure "centuries" by the occurrence of major world changing events instead of by the hard year.

NotJustANumber99 posted:Having checked this and confirmed you are correct I still refuse to accept batman came out only two years after daredevil. They are a generation apart. Well, it's the difference between Nolan and Johnson. Johnson wanted to do a grounded movie, and so made a regular super hero movie a little grimmer and small scale. Nolan threw the visual rule book out and did something completely different. For a clumsy comparison, look at the difference between 'The boys in company C' and 'Full Metal Jacket' for another example of one director subverting an existing formula, and a master doing his own thing completely.
