Star Trek sucks extremely much rear end on both a creative and often technical level and people refuse to shut the gently caress up about it but I don’t complain about it all the time. it’s whatever. I just ignore it when it comes up

I did really like Man of Steel though

"THIS RED CAPE CHARGES BACK"

well now it definitely can't be red, which is a better excuse than anything the movie had for Clark explicitly choosing the Zod color scheme lmao

this reminds me of putting two forks beside my bowl and using the thanksgiving cloth napkins to dab the corners of my mouth while eating my canned hormel chili as a kid because i thought that made it fancy

TLADILA is about a secret service agent trying to stop a counterfeiter (played by young Willem Dafoe) and the crazy antics he gets up to. The dude becomes more and more unhinged as the movie goes including kidnapping, assaulting, and robbing a dude who turns out to be an undercover fbi agent.

Now why would a director who constantly had his films meddled with (to their detriment) by film executives obsessed with profit be interested in a book that goes on and on about artistic integrity and not accepting compromises in their art? :thunk:

It's doubly stupid because his Superman is a dude who spent his entire life running around helping people and ends up sacrificing his life for others, which last I checked is kind of frowned upon in the philosophy (and i use that word loosely) of "enlightened self interest"

The whole "Zack Snyder is an objectivist" nonsense was started by sex pest Devin Faraci, and is worth about as much as he is.

His superman spends most of his time wondering if he should help people. Also, Snyder got to do a ton of poo poo, he just pushed his luck too far.

Like there numerous criticisms Snyder deserves, but I’m so tired of the same regurgitated poo poo.

my criticism is that his movies suck and are bad. if my very complete review of snyders ouvre offends you, please go back to CD
