Yeah those moments were great, but the most epic scene goes to the speech of Doctor Fate. "And when you show yourself to the world......"

[Messypandas]

So is Clark's dad a sociopath in this film or...?

maybe.

 

[Tobor]

If we were filmmakers I would be John Ford and you would be Uwe Boll.





Edit: God damn that was low. Sorry Tober.

Haha, I just saw this. No worries, dude.

Critically speaking, though, I'm not sure that was the best rebuttal. I'm fairly certain Ford and Boll weren't rivals. Boll was 8 years old when Ford died.

 

[SCULLIBUNDO]

It's happening again.

A feeling of Deja Vu.

 

[Escape Goat]

Shut it, Ham!

PS am I crazy, or does your ass keep flipping directions?

You can't control it. The glorious gluteus maximus does what it wants when it wants.

 

[Angry Fork]

Go to hell!

SOMEBODY SAAAAAAAAAAAAAAVE MEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE...

The worst were the songs that were obviously geared towards teen fangirls who watched just because of the love triangles. Some episodes had really well placed songs though like I grieve during Johnathan's funeral, and some others I can't remember off hand.

Maybe Ford's death was the catalyst for Boll's slide into mediocrity/detestable film making (delete as deemed necessary)

I'm trying to finish a paper for my final and post on gaf. Not on my A-game right now.

Bat-GAF...

Hold...

Spider-GAF...

that...

Hulk-GAF...

SHIT! Superman gonna body all your favorite superheroes and there's nothing you can do.

Actually, I think that's the explanation for Peter Bogdanovich's career.

 

[IrrelevantNotch]

I mean, when you think about it, is there anything more noble than saving a bus full of children?

maybe.

LOL

 

[Mariolee]

 

[BFIB]

How about maybe saving them?

[strafer]

Oh god, it's turning into a meme.

 

[Discotheque]

Need more lines from Cavill to judge him obviously but he sounds so monotonous with that final line.

The real star of the trailer was asshole Pa Kent.

 

[Mariolee]

Oh god, it's turning into a meme.

Made that myself. You like, yes?

 

[jett]

Where you see an asshole, I see someone that deeply cares about the well being of his son. :<

 

[strafer]

Maybe.

 

[KalBalboa]

Same here. Read Superman For All Seasons and Birthright and you'll see where this character portrayal can go.

Again that scene probably plays out different in the actual film. When don't know what he says next.

 

[Hagi]

I don't see whats wrong with not wanting you're son to get dissected because he's an alien.

 

[MegalonJJ]

I like Superman. This looks enjoyable. I like seeing him fly (favourite parts of Returns was when he flew).

 

[strafer]

What's wrong with me? I can't stop watching the trailer, it's so beautiful.

I'm going to bed.

 

[Koodo]

WaiT, this trailer is shitting. My hype is RISING.

 

[Fry]

Snyder > Nolan

Hahaha. He's only made one great movie in his career.

 

[Hagi]

Hahaha. He's only made one great movie in his career.

Yeah The Prestige is fantastic.

 

[jett]

What does Clark say at the very beginning of the trailer?

 

[Angry Fork]

Nolan will blackball Snyder from the industry if he fucks this up.

What does Clark say at the very beginning of the trailer?

The world's too big mom.

 

[Mariolee]

[btrboyev]

Only on GAF there would be so much bitching. I'm not even a Superman fan and that trailer had me with the first 45 secs. The gladiator music was perfect.

 

[IrrelevantNotch]

"Brave Man makes parents proud by refusing to save innocent civilians. 'He just stood there and watched... it was really something!', says one citizen."

 

[Fry]

Yeah The Prestige is fantastic.

 

[strafer]

His favorite Superman story lines and the ones he used for inspiration are "Death Of Superman", "Return Of Superman", "Superman: Red Son" and "Earth-One". He is also a big fan of Grant Morrison's "New 52" work.

It helps being a fan, right Routh?

 

[Mariolee]

"Brave Man makes parents proud by refusing to save innocent civilians. 'He just stood there and watched... it was really something!', says one citizen."

I'm guessing you're not a parent.

 

[jett]

The world's too big mom.

The world's too big.

Thanks.

 

[Winterblink]

The trailer's quite subdued. Not saying that's a bad thing, just unexpected, and I have to wonder how much of Synder's influence will be left on a movie with the kind of production heavyweights behind the film.

I dunno, this Star Trek (2009) trailer pretty much set the absolute high bar for me in terms of trailer-ness. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8ETDE0VGJY4

That's a good trailer but there's even better.

 

[IrrelevantNotch]

I'm guessing you're not a parent.

If you're son can lift a bus, his physically safety shouldn't be one of your first priorities.

 

[LOCK]

Thought it looked great. So excited.

 

[Mariolee]

If you're son can lift a bus, his physically safety shouldn't be one of your first priorities.

So you're not a parent? His physical safety isn't the problem here, it's Pa Kent afraid of losing his son to scientists who see Clark as nothing more than a science experiment, which makes the science fair photo all that more poignant.

 

[IrrelevantNotch]

i.e. His physical safety

 

[Forever]

I don't know if it's even that specific, more broadly he just wants his son to be accepted by the world.

 

[greendomo's ghost]

I really dig the trailer. The 'maybe' line especially. You look at Pa Kent's body language, and you see he is wrestling with the question. There is a conflict between his head and his heart.

As a parent myself, I know if when my son grew up he told me he wanted to join the army and fight in Afghanistan, i'd have mixed emotions. Pride in him wanting to help others, and fear and worry about him putting himself in danger.

And him saving those kids on the bus isn't a simple moral choice. He revealed himself to those kids he saved, he put his family and himself at risk. So to me, "maybe" is a totally believable response. Usually the parent figures in these stories are just there to dispense some mantra that the character lives by. At least showing the doubt and conflict that Pa has makes him a more believable and relatable character.

 

[Discotheque]

oh I was just joking about him being an asshole. I'm well aware of what they're trying to say in this trailer.

I just find it funny and I hope Asshole Kent becomes a meme.

 

[NotTheGuyYouKill]

Yeah son, maybe let all those brats drown. I've seen the early 21st century, you're doing the world a favor.

Indeed, that single word gives immense depth to Kevin Costner's character.

At risk of what, becoming celebrities? Oh, the horror!

 

[Ashhong]

Looks pretty good. The shot from behind the back and low to the ground with the cape billowing looks amazing. I'm hopeful this won't be as hollow as Snyder's other films.

I didn't think watchmen was hollow...overly ambitious maybe. In fact I think I'll watch it tonight.
