Yeah, he apparently shot most of the film at f/0.95 which is extremely unusual. I think he shot the Joker scene for ZSJL with a similar setup, Snyder seems really wild about the ability to just hold the camera and point it where he wants, compared to something with a film magazine attached.

Lol, I got up and gave one a little tap at one point to see if it'd shift, wonder how that got through.

There is a Miley Cyrus cover of Zombie on her latest album.

It's not bad imo but it's one of those songs where you have to accept going in to it that there's a definitive version that you're never going to displace.

Time loop theories aside, I took it that the business guy had used the vault money as bait for a number of different expeditions and they were expected to probably fail at getting to it, while providing cover for other goals.

The camera work was awful. I have no idea why he decided to be his own DP. Snyder continues to be unabashedly pro-life and I sort of respect him for it. Zombie fetus is a much more direct visual than zombie baby.

You've got to stop listening to that guy in the cspam thread who keeps insisting Zack Snyder is a "self-proclaimed Christian Scientist"

The dead bodies they find down by the vault before Van gives his speech are noticably dressed the same as their group, is the evidence for a time loop.

There’s nothing in Justice League that would be in an MCU film, other than the length maybe? I just watched through the whole MCU and most of the films are edgier, or explore more sophisticated themes than JL.

Hey hey hey, this is the thread for arguing that Zombie is an inappropriate choice of song, the thread for arguing that Hallelujah is an inappropriate choice of song is over here.

Army of the Dead reinforces to me that James Gunn saved Snyder from himself, because boy oh boy does this script come across as a director who nobody could say “no” to.

It's the work of a director who was at time of shooting returning from probably the largest "no" its possible to receive in your career as a film director.

My other theory on that is that what's meant to be a definitive "Geeta died" shot is too soft focus to parse correctly.

Sean Spicer was a mouthpiece of a would be fascist who literally tried to topple democracy. That's not "lib poo poo" that's just a fact.

Movie was better than I expected. DP should have definitely been someone who knows how to focus a shot. I honestly wish he had gone completely insane with the concept and had aliens and robots in this. Just make a cornucopia of scifi nonsense, no reason not to.

I don't know how I feel about the "time loops" theory, but I guess we'll see in the next Snyderverse drop.

They used these super-open f0.95 Canon lenses that are basically impossible to focus. Which, well, maybe a regular DoP would balk at the idea in the first place.

Everything with the heist and nearly everybody dies because of a dude getting a head on the road

Yeah, it's just some silly fun. But equally, if they did make a sequel that was Live Die Repeat in Vegas, that would be extremely cool and I would watch that film.

Seems like an excessive amount of literalism to be applying to a film set in zombie vegas that's never in focus. He's talking about time loops and the camera plays along with his ruse for a few second. It's the same setup as when they're talking about how easy the plan is going to be and the camera shows them all in a circle shooting outwards; no-one yet has tried to claim that that sequence literally happened.

It’s not confusing or a plot hole, it’s that it sucks to hint at a way more fun movie then make the most basic and rote zombie movie imaginable. Give us the crazy stuff.

The film ends with a nuclear explosion wiping out Las Vegas, idk.

Solving zombies with a nuke might have been done, but even New Vegas didn't have a nuke drop on Atomic City USA (Stephen King apparently did though).

Shame they don't show us the real burden, doing cleanup on all those shots to remove Chris d'Elia.

Also, settling an argument from earlier in the thread:



All CG!

e: turns out this was an argument with eugene v dubstep (rip) in the snyderdome, oh well
