GonSmithe posted:Thanks for making a second post, but I still don't really know why you think they don't know what they were doing with this movie. I feel like they've kept a pretty consistent tone, and David Ayer is a great director for keeping to what he wants a movie to be. Maybe it's because they've been dragging out the marketing for so long, reports of re-shoots after Deadpool and tone discrepancy between trailers. If they had released the latest trailer first, I would be much more excited. You're right about the JL trailer. I just used it because it's very recent and made my the same general group. There's a decent chance I will see this in a first-run theater unless the reviews are like BvS (if that's possible) since there are some good and cheap options in my town.

Hmm, I'll take your word for it but let's not be so naive to think that once Deadpool rocked everyone in the dick, every studio didn't have a big think-tank meeting on how they could capture some of that magic. I'm afraid to go I to the thread for it but can anyone tell me if the directors cut of BvS makes it a watchable movie?

Sure, I absolutely believe that it influenced the advertising, but I doubt that it changed the movie. There are people who strongly disliked BvS who were brought around by the director's cut. There's people who it did nothing for, including both people who didn't like the movie and people who already liked it.

Just got back from a press screening and it wasn't that great. I went in with high expectations and it all fell flat. The visuals were great obviously but the characters had no chemistry. The attempts at humor fell flat and this might be the worst Joker rendition I've ever seen. There was one line at the end from Will Smith during the end battle where he goes "Lady, you are EVIL". That was so cringe worthy I slouched lower in my seat.

The first trailer wasn't supposed to be seen by the public. It was a comic con only thing, and usually those trailers are often tonally off, or just slapped together. They work because geeks will geek out about anything. Harley Quinn just hanging out? "WWWWEEEEW WOOO OWHHHHHH!!!" A shot of Batman on a car? "WOOOOOWWWWWHUHOOOOOOOOO!!!! " If I recall, the first trailer is the Queen one, and that has a pretty fun tone. So it was always there. Just not for the weird comic con one.

I'm really glad that WB decided to skip the pretense and immediately put up their Comic Con trailers on youtube. Why spend money trying to take down lovely cell phone cam rips when they could throw it up and instantly create buzz?

Martman posted:To be fair, how many bad Joker renditions have there actually been? Heath Ledger set the bar too high. Leto's joker doesn't even come close to psychotic like Ledger played him. The only thing differentiating the Joker in this film from the rest of his goons is his makeup. edit: Here's the free swag they gave us as proof.  Good points about the movie: The first 10-15 minutes. Goes down the line of characters and shows a bit of their backstory. Deadshot's was especially cool with a nicely done scene of one of his contract killings. Bad points: Most of the dialogue, attempts at humor (no one in the theater laughed at all during the duration of the film), Characters just thrown together with almost no chemistry (The closest we get to anything is with Deadshot and Harley). Soundtrack while good is inappropriate for so many of the scenes. Risky fucked around with this message at 07:24 on Aug 2, 2016 |

Whilst I agree that Heath Ledger's performance was amazing I don't actually like it as a portrayal of The Joker. It's an amazing performance and he really does a lot for the Dark Knight as a movie but I think the character he's been given just isn't what I think of when I think of the Joker. What this means for Leto when I see it is unknown at the time. I think the biggest metric is if the Joker makes me laugh, and the only thing that Heath Ledger's Joker did that made me laugh was his magic trick. Doesn't mean he didn't absolutely rock the roll, I just don't think the roll was actually The Joker.

I had to be the only person in my theater that laughed at the firetruck on fire blocking the road so that the truck with Dent in it would go the way the Joker wanted. It was just perfectly silly. There was a lot of humor in that movie.

To me, getting over that Heath Ledger bump since its still so fresh in people's minds, you'd have to interpret the character something like Cesar Romero instead of perpetuating the same anarchist characterization. Just a swing in the opposite direction. Staying in the same wheelhouse you're bound to keep getting compared to someone who played the role less than 10 years ago.

If anything it would be another dinger against the movie and reviews would just be like "they wasted Tom Hardy in this" much like people are saying the Joker or Killer Croc wasn't used enough

He talked about being pissed that he lost money by having to back out of Suicide Squad and that that anger helped his acting in The Revenant.

Having recently rewatched The Dark Knight, it's a testament to how good Heath Ledger's performance is that any of it is funny at all, because basically none of it reads as funny on the page.

I don't understand how you can stand outside of a concert venue, bathe yourself in Faygo before you even get in there, and then enjoy a 2 or 3 hour concert while the Faygo is all sticky and in your hair and all over your face and hands ugh.

My family is all from Michigan, so I've known about Faygo long before the Juggalo craze. I don't get why they attached themselves to it either. Faygo Red Pop is alright, but not something I'd base part of my lifestyle around.
