Please keep talking about Batman v Superman until at least August so that I can zoom in, say I fell asleep while watching it, then totally lose interest in commenting any further.

Jimbot posted:There was also the scene where he's watching TV, the scene with Martha, and the scene on the mountain. Those were testing his resolve as to his place in his world. His conversations with Perry over making a difference and hope were also insights into his character while Perry's was insight in the cynical and hopeless world he inhabits. See, those scenes SHOULD stick out to me, yet they don't! They felt less like character insights and more some poo poo someone just added in the movie just to things along  it also doesn't help Cavil (and by extension Synder) is just straight aping Christopher Reeve when he takes on the Daily Planet Clark persona (in a film this loving dour, THIS is the one thing you copy from the Donner films?) if possible, we could move the thread here? http://forums.somethingawful.com/showthread.php?threadid=3769615&pagenumber=57#lastpost BornAPoorBlkChild fucked around with this message at 18:31 on Apr 13, 2016 |

The real question is, how long will RLM continue to let BvS (and its critic proof nature, since they didn't stop people from seeing it) stick in their collective craws? I think they kept occasionally wailing and nashing teeth about MoS on HitB long after it left theaters.

I think they they'll definitely bring it up in the Captain America review, because both movies are about superheroes fighting each other.

I'd love a DC vs Marvel film. The DC characters looking at the Marvel ones like they're loving psychopaths - making quips after they murder mooks. While the Marvel characters show contempt for the DC characters being moody debby-downers questioning why their so awesome and their role in the world, ect. The tonal whiplash would be worth the price of admission alone.

Patreon update says a new HitB is being edited, with a commentary track that will come out a few days after the HitB episode is released.

mallratcal posted:Still getting upset that they are making fun of something you like, huh? Upset? It's a source of entertainment. It's no different than them kvetching about Transformers, or hearing CineD-type folks get mad about Jurassic World. Like when they brought up that The Boss beat it at the BO after a few weeks, or its first-week drop justifying or validating what they said about the film ( ). You can't find that pureness of resentment most places. If they got over BvS being the third most successful DC film (and admit they weren't paying attention to big chunks of the film and/or were drunk when watching it), it'd be boring.

LividLiquid posted:...where talk of the review would make sense, but talk of the movie itself has its own thread. People were talking about the movie in the context of the review, though. If people start debating the points made in the review, that's still talk of the review. It doesn't make sense to start debating about RLM in the BvS thread, it does make sense to debate BvS in the RLM thread. (And FWIW, I didn't get a nice read from your request... the age-old problem of tone of voice not being conveyed over the internet.)

You're projecting; I don't get mad when people's opinions line up with mine, I find it funny as all hell. Getting mad over a successful, popular DC movie that they have to lie about to complain about? Funny. Chat folks shocked that the Turtles movie is getting a sequel quicker than Fury Road and/or the fact that the former made more cash than the latter? Funny! Rich mad about Steam and whining about DRM like it's the mid-90s, without irony? Funny as hell! RLM/PreRec, at times, can compete with Chicago sports talk radio for "This is what some people actually believe, can you believe it?" entertainment. It's almost paradoxical, because for the most part they collectively feel like regular, normal people on the subjects they talk about. Until they regress to not-my-StarSuperBatmanWars nerdpinions, that is. Then it's entertaining in an completely other way. MisterBibs fucked around with this message at 23:06 on Apr 14, 2016 |

Doesn't matter if the cloud is the box office numbers, or the popularity of the property outside of fan bubbles. If you're not watching Internet movie reviewers (RLM specifically, others broadly) in part because they will usually-bordering-on-inevitably get mad/dislike movies normal people like and make successful, I don't know why you're watching. These are people who actually, sincerely, legitimately believe that their first videos to go viral were not long-form Not My Star Wars videos. There's a gif made here of one of them calling such an analysis "horribly wrong". If you can't find the humor in that, I don't know what to tell you.

most of the prequel reviews deal with basic storytelling, structure, and cinematic problems. it's people trying to defend the prequels that use that whole "they're just nitpicking star wars minutiae" poo poo.
