Jimbot posted:Just a general observation. Most Snyder people I see tend to be on twitter and a few of them outright dismiss folks bringing up Gal Gadot's service in the IDF by claiming she was just a fitness instructor, as if that's any kind of defense. The only time you mention Twitter in your post is in regards to Taylor Swift. You should edit it to reflect your clarification or at least try and engage with the thread instead of bringing up the Twitter weirdos. ruddiger fucked around with this message at 01:49 on Dec 27, 2020 |

WW84 was definitely uncomfortable for me politically and not very good generally IMO. For someone not in the know what's up with Patty Jenkins?

Jimbot posted:Don't worry about it. You should do the same. Twitter is not good for one’s mental health. Anyways, 300 talk reminded me of this sweet little bit from Ebert’s review of the movie https://www.rogerebert.com/reviews/300-2006 quote:But to return to those muscles. Although real actors play the characters and their faces are convincing, I believe their bodies are almost entirely digital creations. They have Schwarzeneggerian biceps, and every last one of them, even the greybeards, wear well-defined six- packs on their abs. I can almost believe the star, Gerard Butler, may have been working out at Gold's Gym ever since he starred as the undernourished Phantom of the Opera, but not 300, 200 or even 100 extras. As a result, every single time I regarded the Spartans in a group, I realized I was seeing artistic renderings, not human beings. Maybe, Roger. Maybe.

Wouldn't the eventual elimination of that wall and resulting relief for the people regaining access to the water (and the city/country at large) be a rebuke of other countries' use of walls as population control?

Not a whole lotta discussion regarding producing among 16 others that I can see but keep believing the dream, friend. E: at least teagone acknowledged Geoff John’s involvement, which is a lot more than I can say about the guy who erased Patty Jenkins role in the film. E2: I’m not fixing the name misspelling because gently caress Geoff Johns.

Nothing about the movie WW84 or the timeline under which it was made suggests Zack and Deborah’s credit is anything more than a carryover from casting Gal in the first place and introducing the character, and being involved in the development of the first one. The way Spielberg still gets credits on Transformers movies he clearly has had zero involvement with.

Jimbot posted:Speaking of which, judging from the WW84 thread, that film has the kind of overt politics youtube and twitter people thinks Zack Snyder and his films have. That thread so far has very little actual criticism of the movie. Most of it is the usual confusion of characterization for plot holes, tactical realism about magic powers, this hilariously atrocious comic was much better, etc. Granted, the politics do sound pretty bad, assuming those interpretations are accurate.

The REAL Goobusters posted:Patty Jenkins isn’t a good director. I’ll say it I wouldn’t say she’s bad, but based off this I can believe her having what I think of as the Schumacher Problem: the more money you give them and the less oversight, the more they indulge themselves, and the movie suffers for it. Sometimes it works out and people find an ironic appreciation, most of the time you go “oh right, they made that movie, I forgot it existed... I remember it kinda sucking now that you brought it up, though”. Some people do more with less. Not everyone can squeeze a dollar onto the screen the way James Cameron does no matter how much you give him. There used to be a bit more of a filtering system called the “mid budget movie” where directors could teeth themselves on bigger budgets without going “this is equivalent to having infinity dollars” compared to their last movie, but now that just seems equally likely to get you stuck on the Netflix hamster wheel.

She made one good movie in 2003 (monster, I guess), spent a decade on random tv show pilots and show running and then made Wonder Woman which was mid at best and even then that might be too much praise for that first movie. Just not an interesting director! This movie proved it to me. E: by bad direction I mean bad direction. Dialogue scenes in the movie were just so wooden and boring, the action scenes all sucked and felt like they had no weight at all except for the one fight in the White House. Movie introduces so many characters and develops none of them.
