They need to get Michael C Hall to play a villain.

Yeah, the time Hal Jordan went crazy is probably the most interesting one to use for a movie, and so won't be.

Ideally speaking, the hook of Venom is the bipartisan nature of the character. The symbiote doesn't have a completely free will, and largely acts based on the emotions and desire of the host. The host, on the other hand, has very little say over what the symbiote does end up doing. The best Venom stories do a lot of cool stuff with the relationship between the host and the symbiote, whereas the worst just treat him as an angry goop gorilla.

Venom is basically american Guyver anyway.

I think you'll find that Guyver is the Japanese Venom.

(Spider-Man got the symbiote suit in May 1984, Bio Booster Armor Guyver debuted Feb 1985.)

I stand corrected!

Aquaman doesn't need to be cool of relevant, all he needs is a good story. He's in many ways a more whimsical character than most popular superheroes these days, but that's a flaw only if you want a narrow range of characters.

The Wachowskis did Speed Racer and that's a really good film. Its visual design and execution is excellent. They'd make an extremely visually interesting comic book film.

I want them to make anime movies.

I imagine JL will still make a dumptruck full of money. The studio may have wanted/expected several dumptrucks, but they'll still make as much or more as they did with Suicide Squad or BatsvSupes. Which will be enough for them to keep on trying, I expect.

Remember, merchandising!

Like somebody let Yasunori Mitsuda do a movie score please

gently caress yes. Video games music keeps getting better as movie music keeps getting worse. Here's a bunch of video game music I think would work in a movie, because I'm a nerd who loves posting youtube links.

Argument by Tony Zhou: too much reliance on temp tracks

Alternate argument by Dan Golding: not temp tracks, it's the computerized workflow
https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=UcXsH88XlKM

I lean towards Dan Golding's argument

Some great movie soundtracks came from tempt tracks, like 2001 or Alien.

People realized you can just make noise and get a feel rather than an actual emotion. I still think they exist, but apparently I'm weird af so I dunno.

Elfman's Justice League score is the blandest of the year, but my favorite might be Kingsmen 2's actually. It's such a blast to listen too, especially this one

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fgZQgAaSpjE

Ok, that's a good score. I guess it'S just the movies I watch that have terrible scores.

Darko posted:

Zimmer is extremely effective at what he does because of subtle motif usage that tells a story in itself, directors like Zimmer's style so they temp track stuff with Zimmer stuff and the composer just does tonal music without telling a story with it.

For the other movies, directors who don't care that much about composition don't work closely with their composer on the film, and it's whatever. Without the old style "composer goes crazy with melodies" stye of scoring, this doesn't work.

Dunkirk's (blockbuster) score was arguably the most important part of the movie and drove it more than anything so it still happens; there are just like, 3 composers who consistently work with their directors in detail on scores and a lot of people that could pull out greatness are overworked or rushed.

That's all true. My brother, who's a legit musician, loved Dunkirk's soundtrack and would go into details about how it worked using a style that made it basically a giant crescendo throughout the entire movie.

I still can't believe they didn't have at least one moment that Slipknot could have solved after he died.

Or that there apparently aren't any Steppenwolf songs in Justice League.

ElNarez posted:

The thing that irks me the most about Dan's arguments, and the view of the greater critical consensus in general, is the idea that these movies can just be dismissed out of hand, that any meaning one could pull from them is just "cloudwatching", and not something that was deliberately put there. The idea of "quality" as a threshold, that only select movies get to say something, reeks of the worst gatekeeping bullshit, and it's completely antithetical to my vision of what movie studies are.

He said none of those things, what the gently caress are you even talking about.

I mean, I agree with you, but no one is even arguing that right now.

Hey now, Taserface was one one of the Guardians of the Galaxy's reoccurring villains in the 90s comics. He's a classic character!

But even then they dumped his name and gave him a new one. (The new name was also stupid, the poor guy just couldn't catch a break.)

Overkill?
