s complain about movies, it usually has to do with how there's it's not canon and this would never happen and blah blah, but when Zach Snyder says he's following canon they flip out and act like it doesn't matter, it has to be done they way THEY want it.

ImpAtom posted:That is the extended cut and yeah, it really doesn't help the film. There are actually three versions -- the theatrical, the director's cut and the "ultimate" cut. I believe the director's cut is the only one that made it to Blu-ray. It adds about fifteen minutes or so but it has a lot of nice material.

Knoxville was also a last-minute voice replacement on the first movie, wasn't he? I could have sworn that both he and Shalhoub were announced just a couple of months before the movie was released, as opposed to the rest of the voice cast.

John Ottman's music puts me to sleep. I think he's a generally pretty good editor but gently caress his scores are bland. (And his X2 motif is just Kamen's theme at 2x speed.) Edit: OK, now that I think about it, John Powell's work on The Last Stand was probably the only good thing about that movie. Timby fucked around with this message at 19:05 on Mar 29, 2016 |

HorseRenoir posted:Isn't Devin Faraci's site the one that constantly brings up "inside sources" that say that WB is perpetually secretly terrified about their own tentpole films? Yep. He said a month or so back that Warner had secretly made plans to delay Justice League and fire Snyder because their projections were that BvS was going to bomb.

computer parts posted:According to the leaked emails Sony doesn't have merchandising rights so that might be what made them cancel everything. Marvel / Disney keeps a really tight hold on the merchandising rights and revenue. That's the primary cause of the heat between them and Fox -- Fox desperately wanted to get a toy line and other merchandise out for Days of Future Past, and Marvel told them to pound sand.

The biggest issue with Age of Ultron, as I've said before, is that it feels like Whedon wrote a four-hour script, and neither he nor anyone at Marvel Studios had the presence of mind to think, "Wait, this needs to be a two-hour movie, if we shoot all of this we're going to have to hack it to pieces in editing." And then Whedon went and complained for a month that the studio meddled in the editing process, instead of admitting, "Actually, maybe I needed another draft or two."

Basebf555 posted:Can I blame IMAX in any way for the various aspect ratios Nolan used for Interstellar? I find that to be jarring when I watch it on Blu ray. Partially, yes; Nolan had had a boner for IMAX for years until Warner Bros. gave him the money to use it to shoot some sequences for The Dark Knight (I think the bank heist, the police van chase, the Hong Kong sequence and maybe the sequence near the end when Batman goes after Joker in the unfinished tower), then he went and shot almost half of Rises in IMAX.

Mazzagatti2Hotty posted:I mean is anyone really surprised that Whedon would blatantly ignore something from previous films? IIRC The weirdo made Chris Evans wear the goofy Cap outfit from Avengers despite Chris begging to use the Winter Soldier outfit that the Russo's put effort into making look at least halfway decent. Evans wanted to use the costume from The First Avenger, which Whedon overruled because he felt it wasn't comic-accurate enough. The Russos weren't in the picture at the time Avengers was made.

Mazzagatti2Hotty posted:In Dr. Strange news, there was an interview recently with the screenwriter where he said that they did not receive any pressure from the studio to tie in existing MCU characters, and that Strange won't be a "2 hour commercial for Marvel's next 2 hour commercial." I think Doctor Strange was the first Marvel Studios movie to go into production after the "Creative Committee" was disbanded, Feige started reporting to Alan Horn and Perlmutter was relegated to just running the TV side of things, so that makes a bit of sense.

Mazzagatti2Hotty posted:Yeah isn't Perlmutter the one who is causing trouble with characters crossing over from the TV side to the film side? Seems like the less power he has, the better. Perlmutter's the guy who vetoed Black Widow and Scarlet Witch figures being produced alongside the rest of the main line when Age of Ultron came out, because he felt that girls don't buy action figures / boys won't play with them.

SolidSnakesBandana posted:Re watched the first Captain America. Great movie! Biggest complaint is that I would have like to see Cap and his crew kick a bit more rear end. The movie's big flaw is that its third act comes out of nowhere. All of a sudden they're on the train, then Bucky dies, then they go assault Red Skull's fortress or whatever. It's just really awkwardly paced, like the writers said, "Oh, poo poo, we need to get to the climactic battle sequence RIGHT NOW."

DrVenkman posted:I dunno, Faraci broke a lot of BvS stuff that was 'debunked', including the use of Doomsday that multiple people swore wasn't true. The only thing so far that has a question mark is the Suicide Squad reshoots, and the only thing thats been questioned there is the reason for it - though I do happen to think that he's wrong on that front. Faraci also said that Snyder was secretly being fired from Justice League, and then like a day later it got out that the movie had already started shooting. I also recall him saying that the Cumberbatch rumors were a total smokescreen and that Joaquin Phoenix had been signed for ages to do Doctor Strange, that Doctor Strange wasn't going to be an origin story, and that Khan wasn't in Star Trek Into Darkness. Basically, he's completely unafraid to make poo poo up out of thin air in order to fit his narrative, which is generally "Marvel Studios rules, all others drool."

I have to imagine Zack Snyder had some input there. Charles Roven has already said they're using the New 52 iteration of Wonder Woman as her origin.
