I told him "you got plenty buff enough already, Zack, no need for more gains" and he looked at me incredulous and said "they're fake." I stopped talking to him after that.

I think 300 is his most overrated film, I say this as someone who likes it too. I think about the criticisms leveled against it and I think it was also probably his most unfortunately and ill-timed release. If it were released today, especially either before or after his Owl film, people would view it more as its defenders do (a film about the effectiveness of propaganda) rather than being a rally cry for invasion of Iraq and Afghanistan.

Jimbot posted:I think 300 is his most overrated film, I say this as someone who likes it too. Owls does almost feel like a response to it- like that bit where whatshisface says outright that war isn't a glorious story, it sucks rear end. And then at the end they stop talking about the unresolved bits to avoid freaking out the kids. Hmm... the Superman statue in BvS is basically a "story" the people of Metropolis have told about Superman gloriously saving them from Zod, which we know was actually a traumatic ordeal for him that sucked rear end. And in Man Of Steel the representation of Zod when Jor-El talked about his coup looked weirdly glorified. Has Zack Snyder been saying "guys please 300 isn't real" in every movie since 2007?!

Zaphod42 posted:This is bullshit though. Not everybody has been living Snyder interviews 24/7. All I know was he said that things got toxic with Whedon, that doesn't mean that the scenes that were cut were necessarily amazing. This is really bullshit dude, nothing I've said has given you a significant reason to assume this, you're just going full nuclear right out of the gates. Nothing about the quality of the Snyder scenes has to do with any of that. Please forgive everyone for not taking kindly to what would have been a lovely way to enter any conversation about literally anything.

Yeah, I rewatched it last night in the run-up to JL, and even though it's in-universe war propaganda from the point of view of a society that Snyder and even Frank Miller understand are pretty hosed up and pointedly not people you want to emulate (baby skulls), it's really effective at selling their point of view. There's a reason so many impressionable teenage boys memed the lines from that movie when it came out.

Megaman's Jockstrap posted:My theory is that Marvel being gone from theaters for almost 2 years has created mental space for people to process different takes on cape flicks. For better or worse, Man of Steel was released about 14 months after The Avengers and people were comparing the two. They were also comparing it to the Nolan Batman movies.

This partially happened because the Man of Steel previews mentioned "producer Christopher Nolan Director of the Dark Knight Trilogy". https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wArmHSPIvlQ I did not mean to say there are comparisons going around between Snyder Cut and the Nolan movies. Apologies for any confusion.

I was never one of those people who even thought the director's cut would ever come out (and if it did, it would be years later as black and white, unfinished scenes with storyboards intercut on youtube) but as much as I LOVE batman v superman and MOS I am going to remain skeptical, if only for my own sanity. I remember hearing it was being released and just assumed it would be as mentioned above, then a little disappointed it'd be released as a 4 part series. But I was bowled over to hear it would be a loving four hour movie of navel-gazing, slow-mo, big music morose god beings acting sad. And I'm going to assume it's nothing like that, because I then I can't get disappointed. Stable at 75% on RT with 101 reviews - that's a big wow considering the amount of reviewers who chose not give it the time of day before hand (and I'm not being a conspiracy chud about that) Aipsh fucked around with this message at 23:17 on Mar 15, 2021 |

I'm really glad that Ray Fisher's performance is getting a lot of love & I hope Snyder's bold decisions to keep his intended aspect ratio for a home debut & historic running-time will open the space for more film-makers to have something as compositionally important as those be artistic choices.

Like, I don't doubt that being the real reason, but I thought the stated reason from him was that he felt he was already paid for his work on Justice League, so he's doing this as a labor of love, or something. I'd be pretty surprised if he came out and said, "I'm not taking a paycheck to make sure those assholes who finally let me finish the movie can't tell me to go gently caress myself again." I'd be happy if he said that, but also surprised.

It not only calls into question decisions made years ago, but now decisions going forward if anything they do doesnt hold muster critically and financially. The worst case scenario in some manner for them was WW84 tanking and ZSJL being a hit because it somewhat shows the further you stray from Snyders vision the worse off the DCEU is in its current state. Like sure theyre still making money in the end so boohoo for the megacorp and their gargantuan IPs but they cannot ignore the fact that at its core, you cannot escape Snyders hold on the DC world he built and I think WB trying to have their cake with the actors/characters from Snyder but nothing else is just fundamentally a flawed creative and business decision. Rewatching WW last night and SO much of what makes that movie good and the weight its story has and the commanding role Gadot as as Wonder Woman is directly related to what Snyder set before it with MoS and BvS. When someone like Patty Jenkins gets to play around in THAT world, you get a hit. Now WW84? Thats Patty playing in a "Josstice League we want to be Marvel" world and welp...yeah. $1bil Aquaman couldnt be further from the tone of stuff like MoS and BvS but it still shares a core DNA with them and a character built from the ground up by Snyders vision and theres no mistaking that is part of their success. Despite a single "misstep" with BvS, Snyder built them a pretty loving cool world to make movies in and theyre supreme morons for not embracing that while also letting Snyder make his LOTR with Capes films. They really dropped the ball and boy are they in a pickle. And once again....this would have all been over by now had they just not freaked the gently caress out.
