If Zack makes 2 or 3 more movies as good and interesting as Army of the Dead this thread will die like Krypton

well why not posted:Snyder's casting seemed a little left-field during his reign, but he got it all correct. Shannon was of course perfect, and the prescient Zuckerberg/Luthor conflation was simply - and widlly misunderstood a the time - genius. Social Network came out in 2010 and Jesse Eisenberg playing unloved loser except edgier was not powerful visionary casting (Zombieland, American Ultra).

Megaman's Jockstrap posted:I got Jedi Survivor for free, and it ran so incredibly badly on my PC that it basically put me off buying EA games forever. If I had actually PAID for that I would have been livid. This year has been remarkable for major video games releasing unfinished. Redfall in particular doesn't even look like it has real gameplay, it needed at least 6-12 months' more work.

James Gunn has basically made the same movie 4-5 times since hitting it real big, so I would hope for something, I dunno, a little more off the beaten path and a little less Guardians of the Galaxy 5. Like I don't think he'll make Superman an antisocial misfit, but lol, lmao if he does.

I watched Zack Snyder's Real Justice League again last night on Max, but this time in the B&W edition while I did something else. Gotta say it's still pretty good and at times great, with a great visual imagination. It's still a four hour movie that feels like it has an hour of fat that could've been cut at no loss, though.

AccountSupervisor posted:I love James Gunn. I think the GOTG trilogy is the best thing Marvel has ever made. I love Slither. I love Dawn of the Dead. I had a great time with Super. Not a fan of TSS but really enjoyed Peacemaker. Comics are built on serial storytelling with a carousel of writers. Marvel film will gradually reinvent itself as its original stars age or opt out, which is already in full swing. CD posters declaring the Year of Comic Book Fatigue (for the comic book movies they don't like) for the last ten years not withstanding. Like, I get it, I'm continually impressed that they release a new Spiderman movie practically every year now and it always finds an audience. But Spiderman isn't just for me, it's also for the little kids who effing love Spiderman. Warner Bros. is mostly just trying to recover from what killed off their original serial storyline, endless meddling and sabotage by executives. MCU I'm sure has had problems, but their movies not violently alternating in tone to please the latest fan reaction has ensured continued success and established a powerful brand identity, if not particularly amazing movies most of the time. Firing Gunn was one of their biggest mistakes.

I should probably watch Warcraft again, as it's one of the most astonishingly bad movies of the 21st century. What I remember: - Travis Fimmel being lit like he's a bad guy in a funhouse at the end - The orcs being in some better but still not quite good movie (which is apparently the part Duncan Jones worked on most) - Dominic Cooper's hilarious helmet  well why not posted:I saw it because I love trash and it was trash. It was way, way less fun than Gods Of Egypt, though. Gods of Egypt was just an even less good Clash of the Titans remake

Aces High posted:I didn't realise that it was Dawn of the Dead that spawned all the "ZOMBIES DON'T RUN!!!" poo poo. For some reason, I always thought that was in response to 28 Days Later (which one came first?) 28 Days Later was the one that got more heat for not being a "real" zombie movie, because it empowered some people to try to gatekeep genres at the time. Never mind examples like Return of the Living Dead, which has zombies that run, think, strategize, and, most terrifyingly, can't be killed by any method (at most becoming infectious dust when they are burned or exploded). I think today the only real criticism I have of 28 Days later is that I'm glad the Filmed in Shittycam trend died out.

Megaman's Jockstrap posted:IIRC correctly, I'm not sure the ShittyCam was a real stylistic choice in 28 Days Later. They shot it on digital in the early 2000s, they used guerilla filmmaking stuff to zoom in and get shots of abandoned London and such, they specifically chose digital because it was point and shoot and they didn't have time to get setups. Again, this is all from recollection. I remember thinking it looked like pastel muddy junk even when it was new. I am mostly poking fun at it by calling it ShittyCam, but using a low-res digital camera was a deliberate stylistic choice and it's a bit silly to say that Danny Boyle just accidentally used a prosumer-tier digital camera. The washout in the often dark sets creates a situation where your mind is meant to fill in the gaps of what's not on screen. That works to an extent. I think where it falls apart is that it looks terrible on HD and the "guerrilla" filmmaking aspect rings false to me, nothing about the movie feels guerrilla (what does this even mean here?) except the low res camerawork. They shut down Westminster Bridge ffs. If one feels differently, to each their own. DeimosRising posted:The only three movies that come to mind as having been filmed on “lovely” cameras on purpose are 28 Days Later (all time classic, beautiful looking), Inland Empire (incredible movie, also looks great) and Dog Soldiers (this may have been more of a budget thing but it looks pretty dang good and is a lot of fun). Can you give an example of a movie shot on these kinds of cameras with intent where it was a bad thing? There was some odds and ends stuff that aped it at the time a bit (Isolation comes to mind but it might be because I watched a bad transfer of it on Shudder). I think digital being "new" (at least to mainstream stuff) led to some experimental choices like this that just aren't done very often now. It comes across to me as "of its time," like the early 2000's aggressive use of color filtering.

kilus aof posted:Fast Zombies went hand in hand with single origin infectious zombies. Romero zombies had every dead body worldwide returning back to life and zombie bites kill rather than infect with a reanimation agent. Also, by the end of the second day the zombies were being exterminated.

I enjoyed everything about the shark orc in the Hobbit, who only spoke black speech and was so headstrong that he didn't even like to listen to Sauron. You can really root for this character, especially if you dislike most or all of the dwarves, and be rewarded for your investment.

I mean, there's a reason that some filmmakers are broadly dismissive of, or even hate, critics. The difference is in getting out there and actually doing it, and having an appreciation for the deeper technical/business side of it, versus talking about it from a sometimes horribly underinformed or even misinformed view. It would be helpful to have more critics with actual filmmaking experience. This is leaving out stuff like every review of Don't Worry Darling mentioning all the set "drama."
