I think if they had split this into two movies with part 1 ending after chapter 4 (with part 1 coming a week after part 2), there wouldn't be nearly as many complaints about the length. Still can't get over how much better the score is in this. It makes several scenes.

Are both versions of Sucker Punch worth watching or just the director's cut?

I mean I legit think they could have cut this current version down to a comfortable 3.25 hours if they lost the extended epilogue and tightened things up a bit without losing a ton. The context of the release is basically the entire point, it's more like one of the Lord of the Rings Extended Editions than a typical theater release.

Just the Director's Cut. And please do keep in mind that many of us consider it to be Snyder's weakest film, even if the impetus behind it was wonderful.

I can't speak to the watchability of the theatrical cut, but I'm aware that it excised a really important scene that's in the extended cut. And they also took out the musical number.

The entire last section of the Release The Snyder Cut book is blurbs from fans to Zack and RTSC

One of them is a trans woman praising the movement and community for providing her a safe space and positive support while she struggled with suicidal thoughts while enduring ongoing sexual harassment and abuse by a family member.

So toxic.

Taintrunner, guy who obnoxiously attacked anyone he thought was insufficiently leftist, not only turned out to be a sex pest but also crashed at Sady Doyle's place, who wrote the original Bernie Bro article. It's extremely possible that he was the inspiration.

The most important thing to remember is that Taintrunner was actually Jefferoo, who wrote that fascist screed in response to SMG in the Pacific Rim thread.

Like the Bernie Bro Narrative, SnyderBro narrative can be used as a bludgeon, specifically to to the actual person who is at the center of things and the material of their things.

But it's silly to pretend that there's nothing to it when Snyder fans have driven women in power off of the internet and many reporters/reviewers have expressed that they're experiencing death threats or just continued harassment for their most basic responses. Like is that representative of most Snyder fans, nah? And it doesn't make his movies bad (Other things do that).

But as trans person who works in education who has worked with multiple real-life Bernie Bros who I've seen act horrifically to me or my coworkers of color, poo poo's real. And it sucks when people are like, 'There's nothing to it." Because there is. Not trying to shift the conversation to Bernie, but saying it does suck when you're told something you do experience is a lie.

But it doesn't make Snyder bad or Bernie Sanders bad. We should have conversations on the merit of them and their work. There are just a lot of sad and mediocre people, mostly white dudes, who will glomp on things as an excuse to justify being an rear end in a top hat.
But when Marvel movie fans do the same stuff, why are they not called "Marvel-bros?" Where are the articles about "Russo-bros" and how dangerous they are? (and of course, where were the articles about "Hillary bros" doing the same poo poo)

For me, the defensiveness isn't about claiming an instance of harassment didn't happen, it's about pushing back against the narrative that the bad behavior somehow relates to the creator and subject of the fandom more than for the countless other cases of this poo poo happening with every fandom and group imaginable, including ones that are far more accepted in the mainstream.

If you're relating that you had personal instances of this happen to you with this specific fandom and not others, that's fine of course, but I think it's very important to clarify whether what you're really saying is just "this harassment is actually happening," or "this harassment is actually happening in this group more than in others."

the bigger question is "why are TVIV / Book Barn / ADTRW so pathologically apolitical" and the answer is mostly "cowardice" :v:

I think 4chan came into existence because of something that happened on these forums. We’re kind of responsible for quite a bit of real world stuff. At point at SA’s peak I think we were the 6th most trafficked site on the web. The paywall helped in a lot of ways too with regards to discussion/posting base as did a more strict moderation and as the goons grew up. Some Debate and Discussion posters are in legit political organizations and whatnot.

We used to party at an old Brooklyn mansion Pratt students lived in and Jefferoo/Taintunner snitched to the RAs and ruined one of the best maintained secrets at the school.

He also lived there for awhile with his gf and my ex who also lived there, yet never even went to the school, he just hadnt convinced his girlfriends parents to pay his rent yet. He snitched out of spite and revenge towards our friend.

He also got into a loud drunken argument at Thanksgiving once about how his weird perspective as a white dude wrt to race and feminism should not be discounted just because he was a cis white male.

He also told me in person he had once shot and killed a home invader with a shotgun.

Boy do I got stories lol.

Sorry getting a little off topic but this is still really crazy to consistently see one of the infamous figures of my college years come up throughout SA.

I remember years ago when The Avengers came out, one of the earliest negative reviews was written by a woman and as is wont to happen when a woman writes something negative about a comic book movie, she got a ton of death threats. I remember it really felt like it got swept under the rug pretty quickly.
