SuperMechagodzilla posted:Searching rules, so it’s not that the genre is played out. See, I saw it more as like how the original was a FF movie for the facebook/twitter/snapchat generation, Dark web is more a FF movie for the ANTIFA, Alt-right, Russian hacker, pizzagate, etc generation, with an overall plot that resembles a false flag rant that includes all poweful hackers, swatting/police shootings, new apps and nonsensical underground conspiracies than anything else. I don't think it's as insightful about it's topic as the original and it paints in borad strokes, but as I said I still quite enjoyed it. Also, what ending did you get and does the either ending effect your opinions at all?

Not gonna get to in to it too deep, but a suggestion to seek therapy shouldn't be seen as some kind of slam, especially in the context given, and especially in this open community. I go to therapy every Wednesday if I can afford it and it's the best thing I've ever done for my mental health. Getting new meds next week.

I don't know if we're allowed to ask to be a mod here, but I check this poo poo daily and am always around so if we can suggest ourselves as the replacement I'll throw my hat in the ring.

Ytotd: clips from Sam Raimi’s old 8/16mm movies. I learned about this reading the Evil Dead Companion, it’s pretty funny to watch them progress from Three Stooges remakes to loving Evil Dead https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dyDJ7FZukTk

Saw Widows at the Smithsonian African-American Film Festival. It's maybe the only Steve McQueen film that comes anywhere close to crowd-pleasing (if my crowd was anything to go by, at least) and it's weird to say that? Film's pretty good and it still feels like McQueen. If Beale Street Could Talk is also playing the fest with Barry Jenkins in attendance, but it sold out long before I heard about the festival. I hope Smithsonian keeps doing this thing next year.

i say make everyone who posts in this thread a mod. When everyone's special, no one will be. also CP i do not generally agree with you on movie opinions but I do think it's really weird when people try to ascribe personal ailments to you because you don't like Zack Snyder (you know aside from bad taste ZING)

I actually do like Zack Snyder! That’s the weird part. I just hate his DC movies, and have been waiting for him to get off that train for a while.

Film's pretty good and it still feels like McQueen. Yeah, I went to a screening of Widows last week and loved it. It’s an unusual but successful hybrid between an art house and a heist film. Terrific performances and stunning cinematography too. BravestOfTheLamps posted:No one really cares what you "like". Ah, the lack of self awareness in this post is wonderful.

I don't think people get on cp because they "don't like" Snyder, botl is right, no one gives a poo poo who you like. Cp, like most Snyder detractors, never really have a satisfying answer beyond "because" so folks here looking for some kind of two way end up seemingly bullying someone because they never get a proper response.

The Snyder people’s thing is basically taking the really extremely surface level stuff like “Superman does a Christ pose once” and adding all sorts of depth and acting like he’s a subtextual genius for including these Christian undertones and making movies about ubermensches or whatever. I gave up on them after one of them defended the piss-drinking in BvS.

They defend him on the strength of the surface, text, and overtones. 2) There is no piss-drinking in BvS.

The one where we shouldn’t be concerned about someone who is frequently posting about how horrible life is? Or the point where the comic book thread, in the lulls between releases, talks about Snyder when the weekly drive-by of “you guys are dumb cuz you like Snyder” happens? It’s true that CineD disproportionately talks about big superhero movies compared to someone like Egbert Souse who will watch and give good takes on pretty much fuckin’ anything, but I don’t view that as that big of a problem when the genre is by far the biggest thing in cinema right now.

axelblaze posted:You know, you guys are really slowly starting to prove cp's original point His original point was that a bunch of us should be banned for being a terrible Snyder hivemind who gangs up on him. Like he didn't outright call for a ban but he said we were "the single biggest issue with CD" and a "hive mind" and that our behavior was "creepy" and he just wanted any potential new mod to know this. Then Skwirl said "the new mod should ban those fuckers" and someone else suggested closing down the comic book movie thread entirely. As evidence of our creepiness he linked an incident where me and two other posters asked if he was okay after he posted that his life was miserable, and one of us (McCloud) tactfully changed the subject basically immediately when he got annoyed. This incident had nothing to do with Snyder, and I mean literally it was during a conversation that had nothing to do with him. I don't think it's all that odd for people to show up and defend themselves. It was honestly kind of a gut punch wandering in here and seeing an incident where I was genuinely trying to be nice dredged up and mischaracterized so badly and for another guy to call for my banning.

Not to drudge up the topic for a third time, but the recent discussion about sex workers got me to finally listen to Jon Ronson's podcast The Butterfly Effect, and it's very good. Pretty much essential if you're a Ronson fan.
