HorseRenoir posted:If David Bowie could get away with this then anything is possible I wonder why nobody ever tried to gently caress with him over this? If I was a cab driver and I picked up a seemingly Greek man who looked uncannily similar to David Bowie, I'd probably roll with the Greek thing for about five minutes and then put on Life on Mars? and watch his facial expression.

My Lovely Horse posted:Preacher kind of does that. Bits of it, at least. The bits where Ennis actually picks consistent characterization over edgy stuff, so not a lot of bits if I'm honest. Maybe we'll get more of it in the show? That's... actually most of the bits, though. The stuff like Herr Starr's head-scar making him look like a giant penis, Odin Quincannon's meat woman (tagging because we already know he's showing up in the show), and Jesus de Sade's existence is just more memorable. I re-read it a while ago and I was actually kind of amused by how the arcs seem to follow a pattern of incredibly serious buildup to a goofy-as-gently caress climax.

And, as mentioned, the soundtrack is  .(Seriously, the practical effects for Spawn himself are actually fantastic.

My Lovely Horse posted:The Spawn movie experience isn't authentic unless there are like three villains, and they all show up with little introduction and are unceremoniously dispatched. This entire process takes five minutes for each. The rest of the runtime is almost entirely skyline shots of Manhattan with brooding voiceover. Sam & Twitch or the Fitzgeralds are set up as supporting characters in the first 15 minutes and then disappear without a trace until the showdown. Man, this just makes me appreciate the HBO show even more, because the villains are actually consequential, and Sam and Twitch and the Fitzgeralds are all actually major characters in it. (Sam and Twitch are loving awesome, by the way. Major highlight of both the comic and the HBO show.)

Timby posted: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. I mean, given the critical evaluation of it, this actually sounds 100% plausible? I remember hearing that, while crew screenings went well, test screenings to the public got mildly positive reactions at best.

Semper Fudge posted:Devin Faraci's brand seems to be an even more insufferable Film Critic Hulk. At least FCH doesn't name search or frequently tell his detractors to go kill themselves. FCH and Faraci are pretty much polar opposites, to be honest. FCH is a nice dude with good opinions who just writes in a kinda-grating style. Faraci, meanwhile, writes in an easy-to-read style but frequently has horrible opinions and is a crappy little bullshit man.

Hollismason posted:People here hating on Spawn is ridiculous you know you loving loved that movie when you saw it in the theaters, don't be all " Oh I always thought it was poo poo". Actually, a great many people thought it was poo poo to begin with. It was not exactly a favorably received movie. Hell, it's only recently that I've seen anyone reevaluate it. e: which is sad, because it's like one of my only childhood movies that doesn't have much of a following. People love Aliens, people love Highlander, people love Robocop, people even love Mortal Kombat, but drat near nobody loves Spawn.

Sentinel Red posted:Nope, I hands on heart came out of the cinema thinking it was one of the poorest films I had seen in my life at that point. And time has not been any kinder to it. Like holy gently caress, just that opening setup bit alone was the closest I've come to walking out on a film, it was SO BAD. Fair play though, Leguizamo was delightful in it. Leguizamo and Jai White pretty much carry that movie on their backs, honestly.

Leon Trotsky 2012 posted:Agreed that not only one side should be subverted, but saying that a mystical orient character written during the days of Yellow Panic is a positive role that should be preserved is pretty questionable. They also made Baron Mordo Black, which he has never been in the source material, but was a good choice as well! You could, I dunno, redesign the character without making the character white and I mean poo poo, even that look would probably work okay if it was Gordon Liu or another ex-Shaw Bros actor playing it, it's a pretty clear wuxia homage

Crisco Kid posted:Bitch, please. I admit I love Swinton, but that weaksause is so weak. Yeoh is a legend who comports herself like a Baroness and a powerhouse, and is an actual martial arts master. Lachman looks like a loving ethereal elf. Get out of here with that nonsense. Yeoh hasn't been in anything English-language in a good long while afaik, and if you cast a Tibetan as a character resembling the Dalai Lama you are straight up not releasing the movie in China without cutting the role entirely. Chinese box office is important nowadays.

The highlights, for anyone who doesn't want to do a search, are that she buries everything she works on, her mom/manager is hell to deal with and provides literally nothing except "the ability to use Katherine Heigl," it's impossible to even rely on her showing up to work (she left Grey's Anatomy by just no-call no-showing the filming dates with little warning), and she's apparently a crazy fundie.

Neo Rasa posted:That's like the dumbest bullshit I ever heard in my life. I know Tibet is a hot topic but if they cared like that then they wouldn't have set a third of Age of Ultron in Seoul. Basically all of China, South Korea and SE Asia TURNED THE gently caress OUT for The Dark Knight just for Chin Han (Singapore). If the movie is already a juggernaut like MCU flicks and has a star people in a part of the world are familiar with they'll show up. I can't believe that guy managed to do the "but but but CHINA" bullshit and "whelp better to have no Asian character at all" at the same time. You do realize that Tibet is a really, really loving touchy subject for the Chinese government, right? He really didn't pull that out of his rear end. Seoul and Singapore are part of Asia, but they also aren't massive international clusterfucks that the PRC has a deep hand in.

It's a very similar style of humor between the two, so probably just not your bag, not indicative of you being a broken human being. You'd be a broken human being if you liked no comedy, or if you hated Lord/Miller stuff and Deadpool but loved Larry the Cable Guy or something.

The difference would seem to be the same as the difference between a soldier killing people and a random rear end in a top hat doing it. In other words: Tony Stark, arguably, Captain America solidly no.
