Zack Snyder's upcoming zombie heist film is going to be allegory of the exploitation of the global south by capitalism.

Just thinking about the news makes me want to watch Dawn '04 again.

It took me way too long to realize that the dickish cap-wearing security guard in Dawn ‘04 was played by Frank Underwood’s Fixer from House Of Cards.

The best line in Dawn of the Dead '04 is "gently caress y'all", or the repeated answer of "we don't know" by the WH press secretary in the intro.

I've always been one of those people that just didn't enjoy horror movies or zombie stuff, but Dawn of the Dead '04 was the first example of both where I realised how close horror is to comedy at times. Oh and it owns too.

I like everything about DoD'04 except for the zombie baby, which I feel is in poor taste. Which I'm sure Snyder did as well, he absolutely revels in loving with the audience.

The only thing I say makes Gunn a better director for his work is he’s obviously better at getting people to nail his jokes a bit more. Snyder is the only one who does it well though. I’d love another collab.

The Dead Baby is one of the scariest moments in Dawn of the Dead. I remember it being a big talking point when it came out, everyone was terrified by it.

Yeah I mean I can't argue against it. It's a horror movie and that poo poo is effective horror. I still think it's an ugly scene, 'cuz I got a soft spot for babies and kids.

I am usually the same, but zombie babies wont ever be scary for me again after the playground scene in Dead Alive/ Braindead.

Megaman's Jockstrap posted:Depends on the director, actually. Funny enough: Snyder is known for being highly collaborative with the actors, in fact we have a guy in this thread (Darko) who was on the set of BvS and gave us some ground-level views of his style. Unlike you, who made it up in your head after you watched a Stuckman Youtube video and an AV Club article with a clickbait headline. Snyder cut my featured role and you only see me briefly in the Extended cut as one of Lex's guards being worked on in the corner by medics after Batman beat me up. And, like my feet or something in the gurney in the trailer/actual movie.  So I'm going to side with him being a dudebro Objectivist now out of spite.

We all have personal beefs, but we should try and set them aside as best as possible, to at least keep an objective-ish viewpoint.

It was more.about Taye Diggs' reaction.

In the conversation of video games as art I want to point out that Snyder’s works are in fact art being discussed and argued about like a decade after. A true artist.
