GD_American posted:I don't hate Snyder movies, but I don't understand how he went from being a Bay analogue to someone that studios and fans actually believe make good movies. His visual stuff is kinda whiz-bang but still flawed, and the story and characterizations are atrocious. If someone just said they like the Big Dumb Fun, hey, cool. But quit pretending he's got the whole toolbox as a director

Weirdly there's a shot for shot remake for #Alive https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bHKgptVbT9s Not sure the first one was exploding with untapped market potential Donald fuckin' Sutherland, though

I said this when I first watched one cut of the dead, but even knowing there was a twist ruined it for me. Which I pretty much figured out because of everyone saying to go in blind haha. I had no idea what it was I just knew I shouldn't be taking it at face value. The result was me watching an unbelievably terrible zombie movie that I knew was going to turn into something else (honestly it was so bad I would have probably figured out something was up with it regardless of people recommending it) and then it turned into a dramedy I just got bored with and turned off 20 minutes before it ended. I feel like the only context I could have appreciated that movie would have been completely stumbling on it myself and even then it would have seemed pretty novel because I didn't really care about what was going on at any point

Christopher Nolan liked Watchmen a lot so when he was producing a Superman movie he had neither interest nor time to direct, he gave it to Snyder. WB at that time believed they were the "director's studio" which was easy to believe because of Nolan. Unfortunately for them, freedom for directors means they won't just get any average mass market blockbuster they want. And that is how Snyder became a legend for his fans and how he became some sort of Don Quixote windmill monster for WB leadership. It helps that he's generally nice and non-toxic in an industry known for assholes.

My partner likes crime movies/psychological thrillers, some of the stuff we've watched the last few nights: Great: Frailty (Prime) Good/Fun: Layer Cake (Prime) Bad: Lucky Number Slevin (Hulu)

Was Lucky Number Slevin the one where the Jewish mafia and the black mafia hire Bruce Willis to kill a seemingly random guy but it turns out Bruce and the target is executing an elaborate revenge plan against the mafia bosses that they planned for decades?

Yeah. I would have liked it more if the Josh Hartnett character really was just in the wrong place at the wrong time.

I think you could categorize Les Revenants broadly as "trying to do something new with the zombie concept". Man I really loved that series. Great soundtrack too.

Has anyone watched Rebecca on Netflix? I'm coincidentally reading the book and it's amazing. I feel like with all the gothic density someone like David Lynch could have knocked an adaptation out of the park but I'm less certain about a more straightforward treatment.

The last zombie thing I liked was the Netflix series Black Summer. Overall it was pretty solid. Edit: Just saw season 2 coming out in a few weeks.

Dead Set was a pretty fun take. Standard zombie fare, to be sure, but the setting was unique.

Only reason I watched because I was sick in bed a few years ago. It was a pleasant surprise given how burnt out I was on zombies. Remember the days of getting excited about the new upcoming TWD series? My Dawn of the Dead (OG version) loving rear end was so excited. Ahh to be that young and naive again.
