For the record, if we do want to discuss a superhero film that features graphic prisoner abuse, the Wachowski Sibling's V for Vendetta is right there.ImpAtom posted:I'm not trying to accomplish anything? Like I don't have some Big End Goal Here. I just like discussing things. If I had one wish related to the Snyder Cut it would be to get Leto removed from the movie so I could watch it and not feel so crappy about it but that ain't happening on the SA forums so it's mostly discussion. I do feel this. :/

My big complaint about Zack Snyder's films is that their two and a half hour marathons that feel like every minute of their runtime. But then again, Joss Whedon's Justice League was a two hour film that felt like a four film.

DanteDevils posted:Alan Moore detailed this alarming phenomenon perfectly: This strikes me as a particularly baffling quote to cite for a criticism of Zack Snyder or his 'personality cult.' "Primarily, mass-market superhero movies seem to be abetting an audience who do not wish to relinquish their grip on (a) their relatively reassuring childhoods, or (b) the relatively reassuring 20th century." One of the main criticisms of Snyder's films as that they fail to provide reassurance. Superman doesn't smile enough, Batman is too comfortable with guns, they don't protect enough people, and yadda yadda yadda. "The superheroes themselves – largely written and drawn by creators who have never stood up for their own rights against the companies that employ them, much less the rights of a Jack Kirby or Jerry Siegel or Joe Schuster – would seem to be largely employed as cowardice compensators, perhaps a bit like the handgun on the nightstand. I would also remark that save for a smattering of non-white characters (and non-white creators) these books and these iconic characters are still very much white supremacist dreams of the master race.” The Snydercut is coming out in large part because Zack Snyder has stood up for his rights as a creator against Warner Bros. Moreover, as Ray Fisher has stated, the film does feature non-white characters in significant roles — which Warner Bros cut out, and which the Snydercut would restore. I don't want to overstate the worth or quality of Snyder's caped punchman films, but trying to wrangle Moore's criticisms of the comic book industry against those films seems like a particularly miss-aimed effort. If anything, Moore's words imply he'd view the whole "release the Snydercut" hubbub as a positive movement for change in a stilted industry. (The interview this was from is available here: https://alanmooreworld.blogspot.com/2019/11/moore-on-jerusalem-eternalism-anarchy.html) Schwarzwald fucked around with this message at 21:36 on Feb 16, 2021 |

ImpAtom posted:To be fair that kind of ending is basically the only way to build hype for a sequel. It is a gamble but what isn't I don't think it has a prayer of happening... but if it builds any hype at all it'll make the suits at WB look like idiots who killed their golden goose. That has satisfaction of its own.

I think I remember reading that it was HBO who put the money up for the Snydercut and not WB, who just allowed it to happen. If so, WB probably does't feel any real obligation to help it succeed. Take this with a grain of salt though, because I can't actual find the article I think I read this from ATM.

Watching this is eerie as gently caress. Both these scenes played out roughly the same in Josstice, but these are clearly different takes with different dialog and very different cinematography. I don't think it can be overemphasized how uncanny it is that ZS's film is finally coming out. Or maybe I should say: it can't be overemphasized how uncanny it is that WB decided to completely reshoot an already finished film — only to make it less dynamic.

Lets be real tho: if Disney hated it, how terrible could it have really been? Hopefully, if ZSJL is anything near a success the big studios will reconsider the MCU style of homogenized content extrusion. (This will not happen.)

Asteroid Alert posted:All the critic talk aside, how have people around you reacted to this movie coming out? Between covid keeping me away from folks and most of my online friend circles not caring about superhero films, there mostly hasn't been a reaction. The closest thing was maybe my Mom saying she wanted to see "a director's cut" of JL after watching the Joss cut on a whim some months ago.  CelticPredator posted:How lazy are where you gently caress up that bad with a DOB. If I had to guess I'd say it was something like the birthday of some VFX artist's kid.

teagone posted:Did anyone else pick up that it could be possible Barry was written to be on the spectrum? My cousin is a behavioral therapist and believes that's a fairly plausible interpretation based on a lot of Barry's dialogue and mannerisms/social cues, even if it's never really outright implied in any way. I know that was a semi-common read of MoS Clark, based on his childhood overstimulation and difficulty socializing. josh04 posted:The apocalypse scene is somewhat important because it shifts the Knightmare from being a one-off vision to a continuous series of echos. Bruce does have a power after all! In hindsight making ZS!Batman's power prophesy as a counterpoint/reification of comic!Batman's power of "has plans for every eventuality" seems obvious. "Good golly, Batman, how did you ever figure out Librarian's dastardly plot?" "The author told me, Robin."

Another two directors who I consider somewhat superficially similar to Snyder et al. are the Wachowskis. I don't remember the Matrix sequels getting quite the level of hate as some of the films mentioned, but there was kind of a similar vibe of nerd frustration about them.
