axelblaze posted:When Batman moved from Fox to WB they changed the Batman style to be inline with the new Superman cartoon and most of the character designs suffered for it. I remember reading somewhere that the major reason for the change in style was because that was easier and therefore cheaper to animate. Flying Zamboni posted:I think the only BTAS character design that improved on the move to WB was Scarecrow. I actually like the style for Superman but for BTAS it was a pretty big visual downgrade from the more heavily noir-inspired look of the first seasons. I don't know if it's better or worse but I'm still amused at them making Bane into someone you'd see in a gay BDSM club. I didn't realize that was a real person until I saw the other pictures. I thought it was one of those poorly made wax statues they have a lovely carnivals and things like that.

Really i just watched Ultron because i needed a good cinematic movie on Valentine's day to try out a new soundbar but kinda drawn to watching the rest now

Just watch Ragnarok and ignore everything else imo I'm making my second pass at Hard To Be A God. I can't think of a movie outside of Polanski's Macbeth that captures grime and squalor so vividly, but the antifacist message is obscured by such an excess of formalism that its unfortunately kinda weak all round. Definitely recommend the English translation of the novel, though.

I, Butthole posted:Just watch Ragnarok and ignore everything else imo I hate Ragnarok, and would rank it among the most insulting movies I’ve ever seen. It doesn’t think I’m smart enough to understand any jokes or remotely complex emotions, so everything felt spoon-fed to me, like the entire movie was pretending it was an airplane and I needed to open up to receive my slop. If you’re going to watch any one MCU movie, make it Iron Man 3 because that one actually feels like a singular person wrote parts of it, although you can still tell exactly which bits were re-written by committee. Or better yet, don’t watch the MCU, just watch Dredd on repeat.

My favorite scene in Ragnarok is when they go find Odin on some Pacific island masquerading as Norway and he Poochies out of the movie.

My favorite part of Ragnarok is the one where they give a passing mention to Odin‘s rule being built on imperialism and genocide and the solution proposed is that his next of kin will be a kinder leader.

Lord help me, the Sonic movie is growing on me the more time I spend away from it. The moments you remember from the movie once you leave are admittedly pretty funny, and the bad stuff is bad enough that you get over it quickly. It’s still not a particularly great movie, but it is memorable.

My favorite character in Ragnarok is the famed comedy director himself playing an alien who tells jokes and then immediately follows up the jokes with jokes about how he just told a joke.

I'm not an MCU die-hard but I do own some of the movies and sometimes I'm in the mood for some stupidly expensive big blockbuster action and they mostly deliver on that front. There's room to enjoy the MCU and also recognize that Scorsese was right about what it is.

Safety Factor posted:I found out after the fact that that was some big scene in the comics from the loving 80s or some poo poo. It works in the comics because Skurge had a 20 some odd year history both as a villain and a screw up. It'd be like if Cillian Murphy's Jonathan Crane sacrificed himself to stop Bane at the end of Dark Knight Rises.

All I know about Portrait of a Lady on Fire is that I saw a movie where the same lead actress falls in love with and has sex with a carnvial ride. Oddly enough the movie's main problem was it wasn't weird enough.

Basebf555 posted:Ragnarok is really good, gently caress the haters. It's the only MCU film I have seen. I watched in on recommendations from here and a friend of mine, when I was in the mood for something entertaining and unchallenging. It wasn't aggressively stupid (at all) - I thought it had some wit, the scale in terms of design, sets and costumes that only massive blockbusters can deliver, it had spectacle, and I was entertained. This Ruben Ostlund film is bloody complicated.

We are REALLY enjoying Sex Education. There is a new play out called The Upstart Crow featuring David Mitchell (who is a pretty big TV/radio comic actor here - from Peep Show). It's based on a TV series by Ben Elton (also well-known comic) and they have done a stage adaptation. I thought it looked good so investigated tickets. The go up to £152 for a seat. The cheapest seats with unrestricted view are on the second upper level, right at the back, for £45 each. Decent seats are a minimum £62.50. gently caress that.

I love theater, but the upper levels of it are completely inaccessible to people of modest means, and that's ignoring the geographic inaccessibility, not everyone lives within a day's drive of New York or London.

I know, it's absolutely ridiculous. This isn't even a really high-profile must-see play. I love good theatre but it's so expensive, often uncomfortable, and if it's just OK then it feels incredibly bad value. And bad theatre is just excruciating.
