I'm laughing at people waiting for an extended cut of BvS that will somehow fix things. A ruthless editor with that extra footage and a goal of a running time of no more than 105 minutes MIGHT be able to wizard a satisfying film from that garbage heap. Adding more poo poo is just making the problem worse.

Sucker Punch was also a literal walk through the hero's journey checklist, which is telegraphed and lampshaded the entire way. The downer ending is, I assume, supposed to be the titular Sucker Punch. E: as is the misogyny on display in what is ostensibly a female empowerment film.

Batman & Robin was a love letter to the goofy 60s Batman and other cheesy schlock and is actually an excellent superhero film. Everyone was just expecting more serious Batman stuff like the previous movies. Joel Schumacher knew what he was doing.  Note that being an excellent superhero film does not necessarily make it a good film.

Yeah, Bruce Wayne could single-handedly strangle out all of the organized crime in Gotham with his wealth AND end the systemic inequality that leads to the high overall crime rate by investing in community outreach, education and welfare. He chooses to bang models and beat up the brown poors instead.  E: while dressed as a bat, using a spooky voice

Prokhor Zakharov posted:courtesy of my 17 year old cousin on Facebook I'd move up the Wonder Woman movie, too. Get that poo poo heap out the door while there's still a whisper of buzz, enthusiasm or good will left for the DC cinematic universe so you don't spend any more money on production and can make back what you can. Any DC film less than 2/3 in the can right this moment gets tossed on a fire and denied as the enthusiastic rumors of overzealous fans.

A GLISTENING HODOR posted:Why was the titular Batman vs Superman fight held in a gay bathhouse with a flooded basement anyways? Obviously the bathhouse setting was meant to underscore the homoerotic nature inherent in all superhero stories, where men in tights prefer to spend time grappling with one another above all else. The bathroom tiles and water pipes hint at steamy showers where struggling, slippery godmen could entwine in the nude like mighty Zeus intended. Batman beating his opponent in the face with a porcelain sink drives home the metaphor, displaying a desire to force his white butt-hole into Superman's greedy mouth. Did I do CD right?

There was briefly a DVD release of the original trilogy before the prequels were announced I think (though even that may have had some changes because Lucas has piddled around with certain sounds and stuff for years) so you can find bootlegs of that for sale or download some times. E: There may have been a Laserdisc version at some point, too. EE: But no, there is no legal way to purchase the original films other than second-hand at this point. Usually on VHS.

Immortan posted:I've heard Lucas has even edited Hayden Christenson into ROTJ. This is literally true. He passionately argued against this very thing much earlier in his career in a Senate hearing, since Turner had been buying up tons of old movies and colorizing them and editing them for content and not really keeping the original cuts around. He even warned that technology would allow someone to replace the original actors with younger, fresher faces, or change lines and alter the message and meaning of a scene or entire movie! Then he apparently made it his life's mission to do so. The only real difference is that he was the original license holder, whereas Turner was not, so apparently Lucas is fine with making GBS threads up your old stuff with endless tweaking, but not other people's stuff. E: Beaten like a fridged wife.

I think that was changed eventually so it was Ewan McGreggor instead of Alec Guinness standing there with Hayden. It's actually hard to keep up with the loving changes.

Superman is obviously losing his humanity as he didn't realize that he no longer had his mother on constant lock because he didn't want to hear another lecture or be reminded of his unnatural origins or whatever and he's only still attuned to Lois because he's porking her on the reg. That could make for an interesting character building moment and explain why Lex was able to kidnap Ma Kent. E: obviously if Supes is struggling to be heroic in a bleak and broken world, the last thing he needs is another "gently caress them" speech from Ma.

What if Lex Jr is actually the Joker and the Joker in the upcoming Suicide Squad is actually Lex Jr who was kidnapped and tortured till crazy by the Joker? It would make Lex's actions in BvS less stupid by virtue of "a crazy man did it" and explain SS Joker's horrendous tattoos. What if I'm right? BvS would still be a terrible movie, that's what.

It's still poo poo because it was told terribly in the movie. If anything, that wall of pictures with superimposed text is far more compelling than the work it is trying to defend. Which is pretty funny.

Young Freud posted:Just in case anyone has kept track, BvS has surpassed $800 million worldwide, but is also projected to be 4th in the box office this weekend, getting knocked out by Favreau's The Jungle Book, Barbershop: The Next Cut, and a continuous trouncing by The Boss. So at this point they've barely broken even, roughly, based on how ticket sales and the studio's cut are figured over time, right? Stunning performance! We didn't lose money! They would have to net (with an ever decreasing cut) at least another 400 million for the studio to pay for the next film up front. That doesn't sound like a wild success, but I also don't know how much profit margin a movie itself has anyway. I'm sure merchandise sales will soften the landing quite a bit.

Lt. Chips posted:It goes deeper than that. Their mother's both being named Martha demonstrates that Bruce killing Superman would be killing his metaphorical family. And considering the death of his parents(his only family) he CAN'T kill Superman when he has this revalation. Sure he can. Superman had no problem killing that little girl's mother, and thousands of others. As far as Bats can tell, Supes doesn't give a poo poo about those deaths, either. Even criminal scum love their mothers more often than not. Bats should have found out where Martha was, killed Supes and then saved the poor old lady and her "gently caress them, you don't owe them," philosophy because he's a goddamned hero.

nopantsjack posted:this movie was okay, i was expecting it to be terrible garbage but i'd put it on par or slighty above most superhero films excluding the couple actually good ones I'm fine with heavily working a theme, having abstract sequences, dream logic, all of that stuff. BvS just doesn't flow right. I like poo poo like Pi: Faith in Chaos and Jacob's Ladder, but they were edited together well. BvS is just a jumbled mess of sometimes individually quite impressive vignettes.

Maybe the brand is less "hey inmates. kill this dude." and more "hey prison guards, if anything happens to this dipshit on your watch, he tripped and fell on that shiv 23 times and you didn't see nothin', wink-wink." That would only make sense if the cops didn't seem terrorized by the Bat just as much as the criminals, as the movie presented it. So I guess that's a bad idea. Feel free to use it, Snyder. I won't charge a consulting fee.

The jar of piss could have been a clever little joke if what's-her-face had noticed it right before the bomb went off and had started to get up or warn the room that something might be up or whatever. At the very least a man that should be in attendance left her a jar of piss and there are bailiffs about. I'm sure leaving an open container of medical waste laying around with the intention of making a threat/maybe causing someone to accidentally consume it would at least get you detained for a few minutes. I have no idea why she just stared in horror at it for what felt like ten miserable minutes.
