Jimbot posted:Folks getting hung up on the piss jar will never not be weird to me. Most of the time it's not even a critique of the text of the movie, of that character. Like it has been said, Lex leaving a jar of piss on someone's desk would be totally in-character for him. Most critiques are of Zack Snyder making that decision to have a piss jar.

Joking aside, it actually is just a cup of tea and not piss. Lex’s point is that his cynicism makes him the only honest person in the world, whereas Senator Finch is perpetrating “the oldest lie in America.” Consequently, the message of the tea is that Senator Finch’s deterrent (i.e. the testimony of Wally Keele) was a lie concealing a weapon of assassination. She should have “drank the tea” and helped Lex to kill Superman, in the same way the other dude ate the Jolly Rancher.

Right, it's worth noting that Wally did not appear to actually have any useful testimony. He didn't come to Holly Hunter and say he had objective information about Superman that Congress and the American people needed to know. All he was to her was a voice that people might be sympathetic to that would say Superman wasn't a hero. He's a PR stunt for Finch as well as Luthor, just of a different nature.

I just don't get why people gotta hate on the idea of ZS getting his version (well now an expanded version) of his JL released. Its very silly. In other news, I have been lazy/bad about getting our OP stuff for editing up the first post. I have stumbled, I have fallen, but I will do my best to join you all in the sun.

If I had the time or any ability at all, I would make a video about how some filmmakers seem to become evil monsters to sections of an audience just for the crime of (at worst) making a bad film? Like, Snyder is an evil dude-bro Objectivist idiot, George Lucas raped some peoples childhoods, Rian Johnson is a piece of poo poo... and so on. The thing is though, it's not the same people in all those groups, they're not linked by politics or anything, it seems EVERYONE has a director who is a very bad man. Some of the people who like Johnson and defend TLJ will talk poo poo about Snyder, so you can't just say it's right wing fucktards popping off again (although they do exist what with their hatred of Johnson. Personally I think TLJ wasn't very good, but his other movies - Brothers Bloom excluded - are all really good). I like Snyder's films but if someone doesn't I'm not gonna lost my poo poo, but why does not liking his films turn into hating the director? I don't like TLJ but I don't think it means Johnson is a monster. Where does this come from, the seemingly performative mocking and derision? Why can't a movie just be bad, why does the director have to be evil? And to be clear I'm not talking about things like Whedon being a poo poo person in his personal life, or Weinstein being a monster, those are bad things, I'm talking about movie quality reflecting a persons quality as a human being. It's possible to make bad movies and be a good person and to make good movies and be a poo poo you know? (See Polanski, Roman) I guess religion died and we substituted nerd films for the bible or something.

It's really annoying seeing people being that obtuse. Literally everyone that talked about the Snyder Cut knew it was in the vein of a rough cut or an assembly cut. They knew effects shots had to be finished for it to be totally done. If a movie I hated was getting a different cut I would simply... not care about it at all.

They knew effects shots had to be finished for it to be totally done. I will say I thought it was silly at first, but I also didn't know just how much Whedon had changed the tone and feel of the film with his rewrite and re-shoots. Having learned that, I am more than okay with Snyder getting to tell the story he wanted, and I think HBO Max is the perfect kind of place to do this kind of an experiment (and it gives the studio a major release they can hype up to see in your own home in the midst of the pandemic throttling theaters) So I'm all for it, and after revisiting BvS, I'm especially curious to see what he does

CelticPredator posted:Because dumb people need an enemy. I got screenshotted and blasted on twitter by someone once for suggesting in this thread that fandom psychology mirrors that(to a degree) of religion and especially periods of religious reformation. It is consistently demonstrated in online discourse. This isnt even an original thought either there have been actual drat academic studies about it. This is from 2015 from an article about the Fandom and Religion Conference at the University of Leicester. https://www2.le.ac.uk/offices/press/press-releases/2015/july/finding-faith-fandom-and-religion I really think some people underestimate the permeance of a lack of meaning and purpose in a lot of peoples lives in the modern world and how many people have filled that void with consumerism and pop culture and the warped psychology it breeds. In the same way religion needs a pariah and an enemy to justify its notion of a One True Religion, so does pop culture fandom, especially in a world thats constantly competing for your attention, time and money.

People harping on Zack Snyder this much and after this long just remind me of the little sad sacks who rant about Rian Johnson and JJ Abrams over Star Wars. The films Zack Snyder makes aren't for you. You don't like them. It's OK to accept that fact and move on. Don't become like the dingdongs you make fun of for doing the same thing to a film you like. A little self-awareness goes a very long way and will make everyone happy! Edit: What's the equivalent of "little whit cuck ball" to the people who harp on Zack Snyder?

Roth posted:I love the pedantry about how this technichally isn't his original version from 4 years ago anymore. Yeah the idea seems to be that unless WB releases the completely polished and fully post-processed cut that Snyder Cut fans totally believe existed in March of 2017 then the entire #RtSC movement is a proven farce and will disappear in a puff of smoke I guess. But it is weird to see people effectively going "Haw Haw! You get even more footage from this director you love, you stupid rubes!"

I was thinking about what the safest thing would be. Don't want him around animators- while he may not try to sleep with them he'd probably harass them. Puppeteers aren't people but they deserve some compassion as well. Really seems to be the only option.

well why not posted:People in this very dome get mad when someone makes a YouTube they don’t like. I also don't seek out and watch hours long videos making GBS threads on movies I enjoy. But I can at least see why someone would "get mad" at criticism they disagree with and talk about that. If the director of... like, Dan in Real Life said he got taken off of the film and wanted to release his original cut I can't imagine being passionately opposed to it.
