It’s a deeply stupid and kind of hosed up film in hindsight. ESP with the WW boob joke used again

Roth posted:I still think I just emotionally hate Josstice League more. I mean, it's a close call - but Whedon had his stupid vision, and actually went in and shot new stuff so that the resulting movie would 'make sense' and 'have a point'. Like, you can break down the numerous specific tiny edits done to maintain continuity due to how much was removed and altered. It's almost a remarkable achievement, even if the result is ugly in more ways than one. The second half of Netflix Cut is like if Whedon hadn't filmed the new material, and instead just left those spots blank.

Ooo thank you for sharing this I have one irl buddy who's both the hugest Nolan-head and Snyder-hater, this will get some fun reactions out of him! He was unseemly gleeful when updating me with rebel moon's tomato score (he doesn't believe me when I say I don't care  )

Hmm. Rebel Moon is half a good film where Josstice League was all of a bad one. Not sure I could reasonably recommend the latter over the former.

yeah rebel moon is like a good movie that you unfortunately left too often to go to the toilet whereas theres no amount of staying put and making GBS threads yourself that makes the first justice league any good.

SuperMechagodzilla posted:I’m starting to suspect that the R-Rated cut might be very R, in a “will probably make parents extremely unhappy” kind of way. Personally, I am hoping for Army of Darkness Blood Fountain-levels of gore. In a scene completely unhinted at in the Netflix Cut, Kora picks up a space-lawnmower and goes to town on some space fascists.

Still would've been better than Josstice League, more so if Whedon didn't gently caress with the score or color grading. The aesthetics and tone of Rebel Moon remain untouched despite the butchering it received for the PG13 cut. Through the sheer strength of Snyder's artistic sensibilities, Rebel Moon's Netflix cut ends up being mostly fine imo whereas Josstice League is completely poo poo. [edit] Also Joss Whedon loving sucks. Just want to reiterate that. teagone fucked around with this message at 12:32 on Dec 27, 2023 |

reignonyourparade posted:Netflix is probably the most actual-data-possessing entity in the entire sphere. The traditional received wisdom was all Vibes with only two data points, how much money they made and how fast they made it, Netflix can pretty much actually concretely see how many people get turned off by how long of a movie, etc. The thing about Big Data is that, if not handled very carefully, it becomes Big Straightjacket. Companies stick to only what they know and fail to innovate; Big Data won't tell you how moving in a new direction works out so they simply...don't. The other thing about Big Data is it's numbers in a world of humans, and art is very human. You can do the same thing that works 12 times but the 13th time it completely falls flat because the zeitgeist has moved on or things didn't line up in one of ten thousand ways that wasn't reflected in the Excel spreadsheet.

SuperMechagodzilla posted:Alert for people still thinking to watch Rebel Moon: How would you say it compares to the first half of Magnificent Seven? I've posted about it elsewhere but the recruitment section is functionally identical in both films. One doing menial labor on a farm, the other getting a badass fight and the other just having a quick conversation with before agreeing to join. The heroes visit each of them, have a few words and/or watch a showdown then they join up and don't say anything to each other in the montage leading up to the village. Except in Rebel Moon the film ends but in Magnificent Seven there's another hour left.

I haven't seen Magnificent Seven, but you can easily have a breezy recruitment montage in a movie, or scenes of cool characters just saying "yeah, I'm in". (Widows has a good example). It's about conveying the necessary information in a short amount of time. The Netflix Cut is not doing that, because the information’s just missing. teagone posted:Still would've been better than Josstice League, more so if Whedon didn't gently caress with the score or color grading.

I prefer an bad movie over an unfinished movie. The second half of Netflix Cut plays out like a deleted scenes compilation, or one of those youtube videos where somebody puts a bunch of cutscenes in chronological order and calls it "[Videogame]: The Movie". It's straight-up lost media. SuperMechagodzilla fucked around with this message at 17:33 on Dec 27, 2023 |

“My life sucks since my husband/lover/sugar daddy blew up in a van, gently caress it, let’s be legends” does work pretty well as a shorthand, the drama version of Rick & Morty’s “you son of a bitch, I’m in”

I rofled a little when Noble addresses everybody in the final scene and goes Prince Tarak of Grsmpf like it's supposed to mean anything.

josh04 posted:Netflix should push a day-0 patch to extend Rebel Moon by 30 minutes. Rebel Moon 1.04 patch notes: -Spider boss now has 15% more HP. -Plasma sword damage cut 10%. We feel like their damage was out of line with other weapons. -Fascist aim improved. They were missing too many shots, reducing difficulty more than expected. To assist with this we have also increased the bullet time meter by 20 seconds. -Reduced efficiency of miracle builds.

Engineer who designs hunter scorpion bot says hey we should have separate mechanism for the locks and paralyzing gun. Some exec says they can save 10% on each bot if they combine the two and use the same gun for both locking and spine piercing. Also funny to imagine how it’s rotate one way to unlock, the other to paralyze.

Seems cheaper than making new productions IIRC Stranger Things changed a line or two of dialog to an older season so it would line up with series continuity, or something like that. Plus Across the Spider-Verse having multiple versions with small/negligible differences.
