Rigged Death Trap posted:Yeah but the framework to support that does not exist in BvS. The cinematography, the design, the dialogue. It's not there. Give me an example of how "the cinematography, the design, the dialogue" don't fit the characterization. Mechafunkzilla fucked around with this message at 20:43 on Aug 11, 2016 |

Megaman's Jockstrap posted:I originally had nearly the exact same thing written but I decided not to post it. I would like to get some concrete examples of movies with design that fit the humanitarian theme or dialogue that fits the humanitarian theme or ESPECIALLY cinematography that fits the humanitarian theme. Like, I'm genuinely excited to see this. You mean humanist, not humanitarian.

I always thought Batman's "no killing" thing was just shorthand for "no executions".

How is Batman supposed to beat a guy with a sword and a gun? It just doesn't make any sense.

Speaking of which, what was the deal with the fried chicken scene in Killer Joe? I don't understand why she'd have to be on her knees just to eat a piece of fried chicken, it doesn't make any sense. It's just chicken!

Guy A. Person posted:Ok now extrapolate the second part of that quote. Is BLM saying that it would be fine for officers to beat and cripple people as long as they never cross the line into killing? Alternate universe Batman where his parents were crippled but not killed by a mugger and now his one rule is that he refuses to injure anyone

WW's theme gets talked up a lot but I think Zimmer's Lex Luthor theme is amazing and the best piece of scoring in that film. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h3N-O5BCZSM

Timby posted:There's also some question of just how involved Donner really was in the so-called Donner Cut. From the announcement onward it seemed like a passion project of Michael Thau, who's a Donner groupie / hanger-on, and Donner was said to not be part of it -- and then like two months before the release, all of a sudden Thau changed his tune and started saying, "Yeah, Donner's been supervising me every step of the way." "Richard Donner is what I named my pet iguana."

The Beast turns with a change in his face. They both come together and embrace. Their mouths meet and the transformation occurs. This except the transformation is Gaston going beast mode

We're getting into weird semantics territory here but sexy doesn't just mean "sexually desirable". Sexiness is kind of ephemeral but it has something to do with erotic intent and sexual agency and confidence.

bring back old gbs posted:Probably not but nobody cares when actors do it. so every actor gets super jacked all the time like its no big deal. RDJ did like 15 years of straight drugs then turns around and gets pretty jacked for iron man. Chris Evans crazy synthol pecs in the first Captain America. Hugh Jackman is like 50 and still a huge jacked man. Chris Pratt bla bla. Just lmao if you don't think Ben Affleck is on something. I will hear no ill spoken of Ryan Reynolds but suffice to say every single other actor has some sort of training assistance. I mean it's not illegal to take HGH and testosterone prescribed by an ethically compromised LA doctor. They're not athletes, who cares.
