You should pick up American Alien when it wraps and gets collected. Been extremely strong so far, and it sounds like it'd be right up your alley.

So, my younger brother and I finished watching the Superman movies the other day. We'd seen all but the Donner Cut of Superman II before.
This is how my younger brother ranked the movies:

I'm not sure yet if I'd rank Superman II: The Richard Donner Cut in 2nd or 3rd, but otherwise, I pretty much agree with him.

What was the thread title before?
EDIT: The Chinese release date has been revealed:
March 25th, same as in the US.
Well best is a strong, subjective word, a woman may absolutely be the right person for those jobs and if she is then she should get hired but who's to say a guy wouldn't be better for the direction the film is going in? It's the skillset that should be looked at not "it's a 'woman' film so we need a female director, producer, writer, composer, etc.". It seems really PR-y and not genuine and that's what I disagree with. Why are they instantly looking for female directors for Captain Marvel instead of just finding the director they think works for what they want? Why are female directors not looked into for more action oriented films if they are right for the job? Making sure that a "female superhero movie" has females in the main areas of production without looking into men seems as separatist as what people advocate against.
My mindset is weird though, I'll admit. I had a similar argument about blacks in video games. I truly just want these hires to be because the person is talented enough or fits the narrative or what have you instead of "hey, we hired a woman for this!" or "hey, we've got a black character in the game!".
Its not a "weird" mindset - a ton of people think this way. Its actually kind of a gross and dangerous mindset. Its why we can't have things like AA. Its why the Oscars are scrambling to include more diversity. Its why we don't have people of color and women in prominent roles and why these creative industries are so whitewashed.

Will look into those
Nothing really, just Zack Snyder and Superman was written in caps.
Yes, thread worthy tbh.
How is it dangerous? Hire whom you think will deliver what you want. Don't look at race, gender, or anything, just their skills. Can that Asian female deliver what you want the best out of everyone you've looked into? Yes? Then hire her. Not because it's a female film but because the skills she possesses are what you're looking for.
Don't wanna turn this thread into this discussion, but the last I'll say is this: your premise is flawed. Those "skills" aren't an objective metric, so you inevitably end up with a certain demographic getting cast/jobs/etc at a higher rate. You mentioned you had a similar discussion re: black characters in videogames - I'm sure I'd feel the same way.
This is a joke article right?
let me guess, el maybe?
birthmoviesdeath?
And Cavill just broke the internet.
EDIT: People on SHH says that's an old picture.

Looks like his pre-MOS days, he says he's posting it as his minimum target. I imagine he'll be wigging up for JL though.

I've just about had my fill of Donna Dickens for the rest of my life.
what the fuck lol
No, it's not. It's about opportunity, as long as woman are given a shot and given equal looks as the men, the best person should win. It's that these roles and positions aren't even thought about when it comes to minorities. Are you advocating we give someone who's lesser qualified because of minorities are represented well enough?
My vote goes for Zimmer just because he's scoring the other Justice League members and I want all of this to play and form the Justice League theme.

Seriously dude, fix that hairline
He's growing it out because JL starts filming soon. His head was shaved for another movie. You can't "fix" a hairline. At best he can do as Chris Evans does and wear a wig.
Can we stop with the bolded? There is no such thing as an equal shot/look/opportunity in Hollywood, so that doesn't apply here.
And again, the "lesser qualified" premise is flawed. These are all inherently subjective decisions, and when you're pulling from a talent pool that is biased (read: white and/or male), there is no real way to determine who is or isn't objectively qualified for a role.

Yeah, Cavill should wear a wig.
Wait... where is that track available? I was under the impression only two snippets were released.

Batman theme, heavy on the drums but nice underlying theme. Drums give it a villainous quality, almost what you hear with Bane in TDKRises.

Has anyone here posted the remaining parts of the Dr. Pepper comics?

It's the guitar part that bugs me, hopefully it will play better when in the theater.

It's just Guitar Guy from Fury Road jamming out on a rooftop after being spit out of a mysterious portal.

That sounds... different
I know, sounds like a Sonic boss battle or something.
I can dig it though. Pretty sure it's real since a variation of Man of Steel's "Flight" comes through at around 3:35.

That opening guitar riff in the Wondy theme still blows my mind. I hope it pops up in the movie, right when she shows up.
From Collider - "Zack Snyder: Sorry, everyone who didnt like Man of Steelyoure not real comic book fans."
I'm gonna borrow Penguin's quote:

Damn, what do people have against Snyder? Screenjunkies do the same thing, their articles are relating to the DCEU have this sarcastic tone to as if they know it's going to be bad. Or after the AoU crap: poor Joss Whedon, I wanna give him a hug....okaaay. Good thing Collider gets called out for it. Isn't Campea in charge of that place now? He always seems aggressive for shitty journalism like this.
Think I'm going to lower my expectation: I expect the same RT% as MoS.

Snyder did Watchmen & 300. He is good in my book. MoS is decent enought. The only shit movie he made is Sucker Punch.
Also, Dawn of the Dead Remake is great.

What did Collider say? I know Campea doesn't really do anything in relation to the website and stuff that Frosy takes care of.
