The junction shot could be a miniature or a detailed model made to reference footage - there are a few palm trees that are fictional but otherwise it's a pretty close match, zombies aside. If it is a recreation it's amusing that they used the real adverts:



But it doesn't really make a difference overall - there's no correct level of authenticity for a film about a zombie apocalypse Las Vegas.

josh04 posted:

Right, but your criticisms can't decide if the problem is tangible or intangible; the straightforward reading of the shot is that the crowd of zombies lured to their doom by the big flashy smoke grenade are akin to the crowds of regular people who used to be lured by the big shiny lion statue - and as you noted, that the US government has no qualms in blowing them up (Vegas ofc famously downwind of atomic test sites). The zombies are an indistinct mass, although made more so by youtube compression on top of the basic image, and the physical aspects of the lens are emphasised. What's "bad" about this? What isn't working?


No, I'll add it to the list. When I think "Vegas" I'm generally thinking about Umberto Eco's "Travels in Hyperreality" (sneaky pdf link)

Ok from a million pages ago but Death/Reign of Superman/men was the first big Comics Thing I got into and I remember a lot of it.

Doomsday "kills" Superman by basically beating him to death and, it's assumed, Superman dies due to internal injuries or whatever.

He's given a burial, a monument is made, and later we find our that his tomb has been graverobbed and his body is missing.

Later on, we learn that the Visor Superman (actually the Eradicator, a repository of Kryptonian history out to recreate Krypton) stole the body to place it in the Fortress of Solitude in a nutrient-rich healing chamber. Turns out Superman wasn't dead-dead, but the kinetic impact of the battle and his relentless fighting essentially "drained" his super solar-cells and Kal El was instead in some kind of Kyrptonian Healing Coma of next-to-no metabolic activity so that he could recover. This is why the mullet happened, as his hair continued to grow. The Black Suit is supposed to help with solar absorption, as well as looking vaguely like Kryptonian Funeral Rites attire.

The Eradicator, conveniently, dips into the healing chamber from now and then to "top off" his energy-based powers derived from Kal-El.

At some point, Superman recovers enough to be awakened, but functionally without any of his abilities. He gets a pair of jump-jet boots to help him fly and joins Steel, Hal Jordan and the Eradicator in assaulting the Coast City stronghold of Mongul/Cyborg Superman.

Because he's powerless, he picks up a bunch of cool 90s guns to help out. Cyborg Supes tries to kill him with a shot of superconcentrated Kryptonite from a ray gun, Eradicator jumps in and the radiation is filtered through him and hits Kal El. He tastes the rainbow and his powers are restored.

If the Ultimate Cut (aka what ZS actually wanted) had been released in theaters, BvS would have cracked a billion easy and WB wouldn't have had to panic-gently caress itself out of the golden goose.

"Cut all the connecting tissue out so we can jam in an extra showing a day," is one of the worst calls any studio has ever made about any movie, ever. And then they were going to do the exact same thing to JL.

See, 5 showings a day with 5 people each due to poo poo word-of-mouth is MUCH better than 4 showings with 100+ people each. That's 20% more showings! That means 20% more profits!

Right?

Eh...you can convert almost wholesale and make it good. The only change I would make is to change the heroes that Doomsday curbstomps before running into Superman from c listers to big name heroes like Wonder Woman.

What was the discourse over his Dawn of the Dead remake, if I can open that can of worms? I don't remember too much around it besides the fast zombie thing (which I still don't quite get the outrage about).

Halloween Jack posted:

When I was reading Sin City, the TPBs included the letters pages. I remember that people wrote in to complain about Miho the Ninja Girl being too superheroic.

Instead of explaining that this is pulp fiction and doesn't have to be realistic, Millar claimed that yes, if you train hard enough it's totally possible to shoot a guy through the mouth with an arrow from hundreds of yards away while doing a backflip. Even setting his quasi-fascist politics aside, Millar is a little nuts.

Darko posted:

I read Nolan's as extremely asexual and the suit being entirely blocky and militarized and angular because he doesn't see anything as sexy. He put Rachael on a pedestal as an ideal of wanting a relationship, but only as an ideal - Talia basically conned him into having sex with her and he didn't care at all about it afterwards, and in Catwoman, he seems to have found his platonic ideal friend-relationship that is an intellectual equal but sexual passion free.

His suit is pure functionality fascination and not about actual sexual repression or projecting because Nolan Batman doesn't show that he cares in the slightest and is by far the most asexual representation of Batman.

On the flip side Dini-Timm Batman is by FAR the most horny and I don't think he found a woman that he didn't want to have sex with. His "canon-first" appearance has Im all horny over the Phantasm, then he's all about Selena, then Zatanna, Talia, and Batgirl (yeesh), Lois (lol), Wonder Woman, Batwoman, Poison Ivy's plant woman...

Are they going to do some "Flash enters an alternate universe where they have a Supergirl instead of Superman" thing? Like, Carla Kent or something silly.

The full quote:
"It’s incredibly gratifying and free to be using characters that are considered villains because you just have so much more leeway. A perfect example of that is in this third season of ‘Harley’ [when] we had a moment where Batman was going down on Catwoman. And DC was like, ‘You can’t do that. You absolutely cannot do that.’ They’re like, ‘Heroes don’t do that.’ So, we said, ‘Are you saying heroes are just selfish lovers?’ They were like, ‘No, it’s that we sell consumer toys for heroes. It’s hard to sell a toy if Batman is also going down on someone.’"

Cast Bautista as Wrex, do the mocap stuff like what they did for Alita.

Henry Cavill would be a good choice for Male Shep, or he could be Kaiden

I think Antje Traue would be awesome as Femshep, especially if they go hardass, gets results renegade Shep.

Jena Malone as Liara

But who would be Garrus?

Aces High posted:

I was originally gonna say Amy Adams as as Liara, then maybe you put Jena Malone as Yeoman Chambers if you make the whole trilogy but I feel there's a better character for Adams that isn't coming to mind. Maybe Ashley?

Michael Shannon as The Illusive Man?

Oh poo poo, if we have Bautista as Wrex then we have a no-brainer of Jason Momoa as Grunt! Regardless of who you have as Shepard, that one "Shepard" conversation between the three of them from the Citadel party would be amazing to behold

No it was because Sam Raimi liked the temp score more he used for spider man 2 where he used Hellraiser music and he wanted elfman to do something like it. And elfman said something like if you want Hellraiser get Chris young!

And so he did.

There was more to it. But they did make up eventually
