I love Zack’s DC movies. I have this weird thing where Man of Steel is an extremely personal film for me. So, my dad was a pilot and the idea of a “man who can fly” was always cool to him. I showed him the original trailer for MoS (the Terrance Mallorca style one) and he was really excited to see it. Then, about ten days before it released, my dad died of a heart attack. Devastating. My friends took me to see it knowing I loved Zack Snyder, and I was absolutely not prepared for some of the stuff in the film. I also need to say that I am from Kansas, around Kansas City. My dad was a huge Royals fan and they would go on to the World Series the next season, but the game they played that night they beat Tampa 10-1, so watching Clark’s “dream showdown” with Zod where he is wearing a Royals jersey was super cool. Especially the connotation that inside his own head, Clark Kent’s ideal vision of himself is wearing a Royals jersey. But watching his dad die and not being to help, a place I felt very much in at that time, was the real kicker. It’s the feeling that will never go away. I’m probably the only person in the world who chokes up about a Superman movie, but there it is. Later my brother told he basically can’t watch the movie because the “dad poo poo” as he puts it, is too much. Man of Steel is loving radical and my dad would’ve loved it.

I watched the 3 hour cut of BvS last night and it's still good. I just adore the part where Bats is all "Do you bleed?" and Superman just looks at him like, "what in the gently caress is your deal, goddamn"

I want to see Rogue One as a pure war movie. I remember one of the original themes they talked about was "the rebels are just as dirty about this poo poo as the empire" but it only ever kinda came through half way

McSpanky posted:That part sounds pretty good but this I mean, usually I'd agree with you, because I typically hate it too, but it's a fairly unique take within the Star Wars universe, or at least the parts of Star Wars most people interact with. Otherwise, yeah I usually hate the "both sides are bad" stuff, but it was fun to see the rebels as people willing to get their hands dirty. Also, as dirty as you make the Rebels, whatever amount of bad stuff you attach to them I don't think you can ever raise them to the level of evil achieved by the villains being eternal telekinetic space Nazis, so there's that too.

McSpanky posted:That's fair, I guess it really just depends on the tone. Like, "the Empire's brutality batters us down and we struggle to stay ourselves while doing what it takes to survive" is a different thing from "hey did you know the heroes do bad things too, maybe there are no heroes That first bit is really what I was thinking of, but I guess I wasn't as elegant in expressing that thought as you lol, thanks

". I'm so over the latter but the former is one of the archetypal war themes and would've made a great throughline.

#ReleaseTheSubwayCut edit: but seriously, even it doesn't get released the fact that whole movement is dedicated to things like, feeding the homeless and helping with suicide prevention is like, real superhero poo poo.

McCloud posted:I wasn't too fond od the color saturation, and her eagle suit looked a wee bit silly, but gently caress me if the scene of her riding the lightning isn't worth the price of admission on its own She literally "rides the lightning". So insanely loving cool. I'm ok with the saturation tbh, it is supposed to take place in the 80s after all Julius CSAR fucked around with this message at 03:37 on Dec 9, 2019 |

Wisecracking and extremely competent US Marshall from "The Fugitive" is one of his best roles Harrison Ford, wild eyed, nearly foaming at the mouth: "I DIDN'T KILL MY WIFE!" Tommy Lee Jones, calm, cool, maybe a bit damp: "I don't care."

Snowman_McK posted:The Hunted is loving great. It's a really impressively stripped down movie. If i was teaching a screenwriting class, i'd point to it as a film that's made memorable by how much is cut from it, alongside 'The Way of the Gun' Way of the Gun is one of my all time favorites. The scene when James Caan calls up the old hitman guy who is playing Russian roulette with a dozen guns and a pillowcase is wild.

It’s just hilarious to me that somehow people just never realized that the dude who’s first movie was DAWN OF THE DEAD BEFORE ZOMBIES WERE POPULAR followed by 300, and DC movies, has a known love for the sport of uh... badminton, vocally loves Star Wars, And has been long known as super nice guy and great to with work, is actually a huge dork just because he once also said he likes to stay in shape. Sometimes I forget misanthropic nerd culture is an extremely small slice of the world

Violator posted:OK, this is super weird but I thought it was interesting. This house was just posted on a lifestyle blog I follow as a featured project from the architecture firm. Although it doesn't mention his name, I'm 99.9% certain it's Snyder's house because it looks like the photos from his Vero that he posted of it being designed and built and it has his car in the photo that was in BvS. Zack Snyder gets to live in a dream house from GTA V

The greatest thing Zack ever did for Superman was confirm that he’s a Jayhawks fan and not a Wildcats fan. I enjoyed rubbing that in my KState friends’ faces lol

teagone posted:I still somehow wished BvS' marketing would've withheld Gal Gadot's reveal as Wonder Woman. Play it up that she's Catwoman instead with some misdirection in the trailers/previews. She even has the thief-specific lines with Bruce to throw everyone off. And then when the film comes out, and we get to the scene where Bruce finds the photo and everyone would've been like "whaaat the fuuuuck." Yeah but that would’ve been hard to keep under wraps I think. I more wish they would’ve held off on showing Doomsday.

Im half convinced Zack secretly grew up in Kansas with all the Jayhawks and Royals references in the series, plus the close up of that absolutely perfect green bean casserole at the end of this one.

Oh man, I’m glad Cirian Hinds in coming back for this. He’s one my favorite actors. I remember when The Sum of All Fears came out I heard an NPR interview with him about how he took Russian courses so that he could properly deliver all his lines in actual Russian rather than just with a goofy accent.

Well there is that part in BvS where Perry does actually make the connection. When things are going to poo poo and he asks, once again where Clark is, Lois just kind of gives him a look and he’s clearly like, “Oh, Clark is out saving the world, got it.” Perry is great. “The WPA doesn’t exist anymore. Apples don’t cost a nickel!”
