I've seen shit you people wouldn't believe. Cop cars on fire off the shoulder of I-94. I watched search lights glitter in the dark near the Ambassador Bridge. All those moments will be lost in time, like piss in the drain. Time to retch.

Eh...I don't know. Do you think there might be a market for the 4K disc? Because if you are going to polish a turd, you might as well get the most out of every embedded kernel and glistening contour. Plus, there's the chance to sell variant covers of the box art, one for each individual hero, plus two versions of the group shot. Oh and one of Darksied where he looks like a graphics card box.

EDIT: Oh gently caress, I forgot about commentary tracks, because you know that's going to be amazing.

It didn’t exist though, it took an additional $70mil in reshoots alone to create it.

Movies spend the entire budgets of other movies to finish things that definitely existed all the time.

lol what? No, the 70 mil was just to finish the vfx. The "reshoots" amounted to one scene about 4 minutes long.

The visual effects supervisor/producer made a post about that
https://www.instagram.com/p/CKpstpujjlC/


"In 2019 Zack invited me to his screening room to see his cut of Justice League. It was in black and white and it did exist. It was over 3 hours long, full of previsualization and work in progress effects along with finished visual effects. "

Also the gratitude in getting to work when there's a pandemic going on and no new projects in the pipeline, but that's just gravy really.

Or I guess people can keep on denying what the folks who actually worked on the movie have been saying all along.

If the "actually we only brought everyone back for a very short scene" stuff is true then it's loving inexcusable that Snyder went out of his way to get Jared Leto to join the cast for one scene.

That's honestly my big ugh point with the Snyder Cut as it stands right now. Either Snyder is lying his rear end off and the reshoots were extensive or he isn't and he made the specific decision to make one new scene which apparently involves Leto and absolutely had to be in his film.

I am dying to know how the Snyder verse fans will try to spin a 4 hour movie not being a loving slog to get through.

Like do they really think the script was just so jam packed with awesome ideas and there's nothing superfluous to edit out?

What does this even mean? No one is forcing you to watch it. Or are you saying that a films' length should never be a creative decision?

Of course not but Snyder seems to have such diehard fans who eat his stuff up and I can't possibly think why anyone would think a 4 hour movie is a good idea. I've seen fans post who think that this is awesome.

TV shows are by their nature episodic. They have a beginning middle and end that run an hour. There may be an overarching plot but Movies don't generally format their story the same way as a tv show.

And.. why is that bad? People aren't going to be charged on a minute by minute basis to watch ZSJL , so are you worried that the plebeian masses will accidentally waste their time on a Snyder film?

Well, you see, editing is an important part of filmmaking, and more movie is not automatically the same thing as better movie

Because movies almost always tell a singular story. Movies are made to be engaged in one sitting as a general rule and their structure of the story is formatted around that. There's a good reason that there are so few movies go over 3 hours.

I'm not worried I just think it's a dumb idea. Nothing about Snyders stuff makes me think that the movie will be well paced and engaging for four hours. That's a monumentally difficult task for any filmmaker.

I'm even more confused now, as literally none of us have seen the over-long movie that we are currently protesting the run-time about - ostensibly the same one that we were never interested in seeing.
