I don't know about BvS, but MoS had this as a part of its marketing campaign: Man of Steel Ministry Resource Site posted:Welcome to the Pastor Resource Site for the upcoming film, "Man of Steel". Here you'll find everything you need to educate and uplift your congregation: Including Free Videos, Sermon Outlines and Images. There are two ways to get started – Make a Selection on the Nav Bar or just Scroll below. When I find the time I will try to find whether BvS got something similar going on.

My Lovely Horse posted:I cannot believe McFarlane is trying to get another one made in the year 2016. Actually I can't believe Spawn is still being published. I'm rereading it and it's so terrible. The only thing unbelievable about a new Spawn movie is that it hasn't already started filming, and not just because of Deadpool's success. The 90s are now, and there is nary a thing more 90s than Spawn. I do however find it completely unbelievable that Spawn is still going, and I refuse to accept any evidence that it does because it's just too terrible to imagine.

LORD OF BUTT posted:The CGI is a huge black mark, but other than that it's a really fun movie that gets way too bad of a rap. And, as mentioned, the soundtrack is Agreed on the practical effects, but other than that I thought the movie was an unwatchable mess. It's like one of the cheap Captain America movies but with a higher budget, if that makes sense. Martin Sheen and John Leguizamo are both having a ball but Michael Jay White is utterly wasted and I'm pretty sure the movie actively killed Nicol Williamson, or put him in a coma or something because it's his last movie. And since I love Excalibur, I can never forgive the Spawn movie for that.

Leon Trotsky 2012 posted:It's already been said that the fight scene from the trailers takes place at the Berlin Airport and is in the first act. I can only find stuff about shooting a fight scene at an airport in Leipzig, which is a shame. The Berlin airport I was thinking of has had a hilariously troubled construction phase and I think has not been opened to this day, that being the explanation for why there isn't anybody around would have been an amazing in-joke for Germans. edit: It was this airport I was thinking of.

I haven't seen BvS yet but I would have given Excalibur as one answer to "which movie have you seen more than 20 times" posted a while ago, so now I'm even more hype for BvS. Like, über-hype. Hüpe.

I think most are saying that it was a mistake he chose that style, not that stuff like the exploding Talbot just kind of showed up when Ang Lee didn't pay attention. I don't agree to that, but Ang Lee's Hulk is an acquired taste.

If you think the platypus of all animals is such a mistake, google 'naked mole-rat'. They are The Avengers to Ang Lee's platypus.

I like Jeffrey Dean Morgan or possibly James Purefoy a lot, but I'm still sad he has replaced Michael Fassbender. Otherwise these look surprisingly neat, considering it's promotional material for an X-Men movie.

It's almost as if gangsters aren't exactly good at making the best life choices. Thanks to the discussion a while back I rewatched the first half of Thor. I have changed my mind, the first thirty minutes on Asgard are better than the earth stuff. I really like douchebag jock Thor launching a War On Terror against the Frost Giants and almost getting his friends killed while he has so much fun beating things with his hammer. And the "You are a loose cannon Thor, give me your badge and gun!" scene with Odin is fantastic. Also, the scene where we get topless Hemsworth isn't just female gaze, it's straight-up Kat Dennings' perspective. We get to marvel at his magnificent torso while looking over her shoulder.

The MSJ posted:X-Men posters Phew, those Four Horsemen posters from a while back had me worried that Fox was breaking with the tradition of awful promotional material for their X-Men stuff but I see they are back on form. Rhyno posted:That stupid poo poo when all the cops crawled out of the sewers with no ill effects and were able to fight Bane's army. gently caress TDKR. I liked TDKR overall, but that whole big street brawl could have been, er, grittier. Once the focus is on Batman and Bane the surrounding battle lost me completely. I know they couldn't have done the opening of Gangs of New York but at least hint at some of the brutality. Matthew Modine's death is just the worst.

Terrible Horse posted:It also features Batman at his least impressive and dumbest. After getting his rear end beat by Bane, then rebuilding himself from the ground up, crossing the world to reclaim his city, he says the worst retort i've ever heard ("No. I've come to stop you.") and tries to punch Bane again. I liked the Batman v Bane fight itself, actually. They had their cool fight in the sewers, with lots of cool lines and good choreography and stuff; I took their street fight to mean that they were both exposed for the costumed clowns they are and that Batman could just handle it better than Bane because he managed to move on.

Batham posted:God that street brawl... mercs armed with rifles, sitting in entrenched positions, abandon their position to beat on the (barely armed) cops with their fists rather than gunning them down. They somehow did that thing from Big Trouble in Little China where the two gangs shoot at each other and there are some token casualties on both sides and then all guns magically vanish and they charge and butcher each other with swords and meat cleavers and bo staffs. Except that there are no swords and meat cleavers and bo staffs, and the guns are still there, and they all shoot them while they charge. And they do a really poor job butchering each other because they go at it all through Bane v Batman, and when Talia leaves them to detonate the nuke they are still at it with no visible casualties except for Matthew Modine.

I got the feeling that the most Inception-y scene with the three city skylines folding is from the final act. That just looks like the magic equivalent of a doomsday device, and I think it's a nice change that it's about folding space instead of the usual Everything Turns Into Dust thing X-Men: Apocalypse seems to be doing.

Josh Lyman posted:One thing I don't get about Civil War is that Iron Man and Captain America are on opposite sides of what I would expect. I would think Tony would be a vigilante and Cap would be all truth justice and the America way. I think their main difference lies in what constitutes the American Way. In AoU this was made clear when Cap was all "Every time someone tried to win a war before it started things go bad" while Tony was "But ALIENS! We need to be ready for the ALIENS!"

PiedPiper posted:Government and subordination are a necessary evil, though. The impression I got was that Cap flies by the seat of his pants throughout this thing, but I don't see that as a bad thing. I don't buy that the conflict is that there is a problem, then Cap and Iron Man sat down and independently worked up solutions and then fight over which is the better one. This time Iron Man is the man with the plan and all Cap knows and really needs to know is that that plan is lovely.

Cythereal posted:According to some of the reviews, Cap is disillusioned and distrustful of authority in this movie, and he hates the idea Stark keeps bringing up of ending or preventing the fight so everyone can go home. Cap has nothing in his life except the fight, and no home to go to. That happens in AoU as well, and it's an interesting notion. When they have their conversation while chopping wood together, Tony says something like "To end the fight, isn't that the mission" and Cap just tears apart a log with his bare hands. That guy is not really all that happy with the idea of a world without conflict.

HUNDU THE BEAST GOD posted:You want to know where it comes from, casting all these pro wrestlers in movies. Every other wrestling move looks totally unnatural but the way they choreograph these fights always seems like someone is about to get powerbombed. Spectre had a prime scene for Craig to get put through a table and they just squandered it. I'm the same about choke slams. They are the most basic and most awesome wrestling moves, where there is no doubt about anything that's going down. A guy grabs another guy by the throat, bodily lifts him up and then slams him into the ground. It's totally ridiculous for a number of reasons, like how does the slamee's head even stay attached, and wouldn't just crashing the guy's larynx be much easier if you already got him by the throat and are strong enough to lift him? But all of that doesn't matter, it's purely about visually expressing power and ferocity. And yet there are so few examples of choke slams done right in movies.

Jenny Angel posted:In my senior year of college, I had to get a new roommate setup because most of my old ones had graduated. The one remaining roommate suggested we get a triple with another of his friends, and I agreed, having met the guy a few times and having no immediate problems with him. They were mostly pleasant guys, but they could be unbearable when I was trying to sleep. One night at something like 3 AM, I heard a bunch of sounds of clattering and crashing in the common room, so I marched out there, groggy and pissed off. Turns out these clowns had just blazed it and were having some impromptu wrestling matches I was expecting this to get hella erotic. Even though it's good that you kicked their stoned asses, I feel a bit let down. I hope Civil War wont be the same.
