In the movie its delivered as a half-hearted one-liner with all of its emotional weight removed from the performance.

I was already ready to give up on the film, but as soon as they did the bit with Rorschach and the shrink and Rorschy gives a big list as to why he loving loathes him, but in the film he goes, "You're fat..." And then there's a huge pause for laughs, (fair play people DID laugh) I just shook my head. loving Watchmen, man. Such a ham-handed mess.

My favorite exchange of late was when someone likened this thread to being a Bizarro version of the CineD thread, going so far as to say that their thread would softly weep as it beat this thread to death.

You know, as if their thread isn't the one championing a moody, violent, unrelatable (Bizarro) Superman.

:ironicat:

Hahahaha. And Jesus, where was that "Superman beats a retarded Bizarro to death" bit from again? That was someone's idea in CineD, right?

This is the plot of a Lobo run.

Lobo is p.cool and the only way to do a Wolverine kinda character right. Complete farce and parody.

I've seen some crazy loving arguments on Facebook about BvsS and the "Fanboy" thing. Holey moley people are nuts.

Like they accuse anyone of not liking the film to be "Marvel Fanboys" but their arguments FOR the film are always fanboy claims. Like, "Yeah the film was bad, but turn your brain off WE GOT TO SEE WONDER WOMAN! SO EPIC!"
"Yeah Lex was poo poo, but he wasn't the REAL LEX so it's ok."
"Well actually this Batman in cannon is tired of playing Mr. Nice guy, if you'd read Batman comics 4981 you'd understand and furthermore..."

Fffffuck me.

Finally saw it last night and holllly shiiit it was so loving bad. SO bad.

I want to venture to the cineD thread to see how the gently caress they defend it.

More than that I want to see how they inevitably defend the utter dogshit fight choreography. I like 300 and Watchmen's fights, despite being out of place and utterly against the story, were good, kinetic and fun.

So how the hell is everything so stiff, clunky and boring in BvS? The Batman dream sequence was laughable in how crap it was. It genuinely looked like a 1st take or a practice run or something.

I'm sure some lunatic will say, "Well it's encapsulating the themes and ideals of what it trult means to be a superhero and furthermore..."

What a thoroughly horrid waste of time.

An interviewer once asked Grant Morrison if he was ever likely to run into Mark Millar seeing as they both live in Glasgow. Grant said if he does he hopes he'll be going at 400mph at the time.

I knew, knew it was gonna be drek. do we have any leaks on the plot? What is even going on

Some demon or something has a city on lockdown and the Enchantress merges with it when they get in there and becomes the big bad. The Joker is a side character and his gang are trying to get Harley back and it SOUNDS like the warriors but instead of being cool it's just awful.

The Suicide Squad thread seems to be exclusively talking about how to do a proper squat these days, but I wanted to mention something in here.

It seems multiple scenes from SS have been cut. Namely any scene that shows Joker abusing Harley. Slapping her, the torture sequence etc. I'm wondering if they were cut for moral reasons or if they wanted to push their romance without the weird kink stuff.

I've been giving serious thought to doing an effort-thread about the Carpenter movie (and the prequel) just because I love the Carpenter movie to death. I'm not sure if I'm better off posting it in CineD or GBS though. Like, I don't want the thread to be clogged with fart-sniffing Zizek metatextual bullshit, but I also don't want it to be non-stop threadshitting and/or just an endless chorus of people high-fiving each other over how awesome the Carpenter movie is and nothing more.

I'd love this and I'd say post it here. If a thread is good and about a good thing then GBS is pretty great because you avoid the hardcore fanwankery and people tend to push out the threadshitters fairly early.

I've always thought you could cut the nails of those who you thought were infected by a thing or cut their hair because those are just dead cells in a normal person, but a thing would have to try and replicate the dead cells (much like blood would be "dead" after you draw it) but trimming toenails isn't as tense, I guess.

Oh, also BvS was poo poo.
