I know it won't be but I'd mark out if a $$$ budget action movie just had a single moment like the way this person being kicked across a room is conveyed in the film Death Powder at 24m48s

Ang Lee's Hulk is probably the closest you're gonna get.

the "no more dead cops" and "is that a bazooka?" guys are the glue that holds the film together.

"I was always inspired by movies like Brazil. There�s a great history of director�s cuts."

The release of a director's cut is something that generally happens to correct an error or a serious compromise forced on the film, or to provide an alternate view on older material after some time has passed, but of course Zach Snyder would want to skip all that and just jump to the end where he makes both at the same time. Famous and infamous films all have director's cuts, so he'll make one, too.

This is especially funny because off the top of my head I don't even know how many cuts Brazil has, and even on the criterion release, the supposed 'final cut' in the commentary Gilliam is like, "I might go back make more changes."

Nancy Grace in BvS pales in comparison to Missi Pyle as Nancy Grace in Gone Girl.

There is this bit from Le Guin's "Genre: A Word Only a Frenchman Could Love"

quote:

A writer sets out to write science fiction but isn�t familiar with the genre, hasn�t read what�s been written. This is a fairly common situation, because science fiction is known to sell well but, as a subliterary genre, is not supposed to be worth study�what�s to learn? It doesn�t occur to the novice that a genre is a genre because it has a field and focus of its own; its appropriate and particular tools, rules, and techniques for handling the material; its traditions; and its experienced, appreciative readers�that it is, in fact, a literature. Ignoring all this, our novice is just about to reinvent the wheel, the space ship, the space alien, and the mad scientist, with cries of innocent wonder. The cries will not be echoed by the readers. Readers familiar with that genre have met the space ship, the alien, and the mad scientist before. They know more about them than the writer does.

In the same way, critics who set out to talk about a fantasy novel without having read any fantasy since they were eight, and in ignorance of the history and extensive theory of fantasy literature, will make fools of themselves because they don�t know how to read the book. They have no contextual information to tell them what its tradition is, where it�s coming from, what it�s trying to do, what it does. This was liberally proved when the first Harry Potter book came out and a lot of literary reviewers ran around shrieking about the incredible originality of the book. This originality was an artifact of the reviewers� blank ignorance of its genres (children�s fantasy and the British boarding-school story), plus the fact that they hadn�t read a fantasy since they were eight. It was pitiful. It was like watching some TV gourmet chef eat a piece of buttered toast and squeal, �But this is delicious! Unheard of! Where has it been all my life?�
