I think it's worth pointing out that 300 is a story being told by an unreliable narrator who exaggerates poo poo to get the greeks to join the war effort. It's literally a storyteller lying to the audience. And death of the author and all, but Zack himself has said multiple times you're not supposed to relate to the spartans. You know, the group that chucks babies off cliffs if they are "deformed". Just tossing that out there!

StashAugustine posted:i'm taking the double-contrarian position that 300 is a pro iraq war movie because it wants to make the spartans the badguys It's certainly possible to see the Persians as the US equivalent and the Spartans as the plucky taliban freedom fighters. In fact Zizek had the same idea. Atrocious Joe posted:I'm pretty sure it happened because I shitposted that Snyder's films are better than the MCU This actually happens way more often than one would think. Serf posted:300 can be read as a satire, sure. but after seeing it in the theater one of my friends, an army ranger, walked out saying that he couldn't wait to go back to iraq to "kill some more hajis" Did your army ranger friend also get the urge to parade in briefs and a red cape together with his army vet buddies? That's a rhetorical question. We all know army guys are super homoerotic, I assume that's just a regular evening thing

As I recall, a lot of people missed that STT was satire when it first came out and was treated as a regular fare sci fi. It was only after a couple of years people caught on to it being satirical. Of course, I might be wrong, since I was pretty young back then, but that's the impression I got.

It's cost them 70 million at this point lmfao. I mean, people that hate him will watch it just to dunk on him, and his fans will watch it because they've got great taste in movies, and the resulting clashes on social media and think pieces and youtube video essays will be free marketing for the film and streaming service. it's win win for HBO really.

Low Desert Punk posted:could you explain what other possible reason one would want to adapt The Fountainhead as a passion project, a novel every human being on Earth not belonging to the Ayn Rand Institute agrees is absolute dogshit Now why would a director who constantly had his films meddled with (to their detriment) by film executives obsessed with profit be interested in a book that goes on and on about artistic integrity and not accepting compromises in their art?  It's doubly stupid because his Superman is a dude who spent his entire life running around helping people and ends up sacrificing his life for others, which last I checked is kind of frowned upon in the philosophy (and i use that word loosely) of "enlightened self interest" The whole "Zack Snyder is an objectivist" nonsense was started by sex pest Devin Faraci, and is worth about as much as he is.

I think they ultimately realized how it didn't really work though, and chucked the idea out McCloud has issued a correction as of 07:24 on Apr 15, 2021 |

Am i too late to chime in that B5 is awesome and you should definitely watch it. The first seaso starts a bit rough but it quickly picks up steam by season 2, it's great, watch it. I think it's available on HBO?Stairmaster posted:And he's bald Well that's just uncalled for Re Lindsey Ellis, if she'd just said "my bad" and apologized instead of coming up with excuses as to why it's good, actually, to be an rear end about every single time she's been wrong then everyone would have forgotten about it. Also good job undoing the only goos thing she did the past 6 months which was crush cinema roberto.

Fleetwood posted:something gross about Army of the Dead is that Snyder tries to make it look like the zombies are organizing a new rational society based on rape? forced assimilation? Are we seriously calling the zombification thing rape now? In the film there's one zombie lady that's clearly into one zombie dude, the implication being they hosed and had a zombie baby. Consentual zombie sex isn't rape. Gross, maybe, but not rape.

mastershakeman posted:There's an implication that the chief zombie holds female humans prisoner until he has time to zombie kill them and have sex with them , it's unclear on the order of operations there No, there is in fact no such implication. There was a single zombie lady that was pregnant, and she and the lead zombie were clearly infatuated with each other. There is no indication any other zombie ladies are pregnant, or that the lead zombie is having sex with them, other than the one you yourself inferred. The blond french lady mentions that they hold people prisoners, and tells about the time a male was kept prisoner in the exact same way, so unless you think they were saving him for some zombie gangrape, your inferrence doesn't hold out. babypolis posted:snyder explicitly said it was zombie rape in an interview. in the movie it doesnt really come across well enough because the script is a mess This is what Snyder explicitly said "I believe that some zombie love happened, some sweet zombie lovemaking,” he said. “I don’t know if it was sweet. It was probably pretty aggressive.” Snyder added that the zombie baby was proof that the alphas are evolving beyond the need for humans as meat or fodder to create more alphas." That's the literal quote. What you got out of that is that it was Zombie rape, which is a leap to say the least, and outright counter to what he says

Fleetwood posted:Snyder is saying that after being kidnapped and forced to become zombie it's ok to get hosed by the zombie that turned you, how is that not rape Because the Zombie is still its own person. It didn't get hosed against their will. The Zombies are sentient, aware and formed their own society. Unless you're arguing that the zombie process itself is rape then that doesn't apply. Also again, the kidnapped people didn't get hosed. There is only one person who we know had zombie sex, and that person was turned during the events at the opening of the film
