This is what I don't understand. It's one thing to invite those that were critical of you. He openly likes to just shit on WB and DC. It's not even like he's critical but takes joy in talking trash about them, doesn't give a damn if he spoils things for others, and likes to present his opinion as fact. Then try to stand back and act like he doesn't.

I thought Ben was backing Snyder, not WB. That's what was rumored anyway.
Which makes sense, considering that WB has been making nothing but boneheaded decisions and Ben has to know that.

That is the rumor about their relationship, yes. What I was referring to is my prediction of what I think will be in Farcey's article. Who knows though maybe he'll surprise us all and say nothing but nice things. Honestly though, I don't see why WB would want him anywhere near the set, his rumours about Suicide Squad being re-cut for more humor were shown to be false, but his article had a negative effect on the films perception to general audiences anyway. Why the heck haven't they banished his credentials to the Phantom Zone?

All I expect and want from tuesday is a shot of Ezra in his Flash suit.
What did he mean by this?

All I want for Tuesday is my two front teeth
Ah I see
If I were to guess, I'd say it's better off they invite him on the off chance that the dude what likes what he sees. They really need all the press they can get regardless.

What negatives could you really gleam from a set visit anyways? You're not getting insight on the plot or script
All you're really seeing is the aesthetic and designs which WB excels at anyways.
Like he if he starts saying "I saw tension in Zacks eyes as he spoke to us" or some random shit that's about as far as he could stretch it no?

"There was a feeling of aimlessness. Like no one knew what was going on. Crew members just stood around having casual conversation. I can't recall anyone actually doing anything the entire time I was there despite Snyder's claims things were moving along as planned and everyone was working hard."

Yeah pretty much this. Throw in a few "Snyder looks tired and defeated" type comments and we already have everything he'll say.

"Henry Cavill is fucking balding. Shut down the DCEU and sell the rights to Disney."
Maybe his article actually didn't have much of an effect on anyone(because, you know, general audiences don't usually read film blogs, much less BND, anyway) and WB isn't so petty? Maybe, given the hoops WB is jumping through to course correct and win back people with Justice League, it actually makes sense to invite people who didn't like BvS to show them the new steps they're taking?
If they were going to ban every journalist who wrote a bad review of BvS or parroted rumors about Suicide Squad reshoots, they wouldn't very many journalists left to visit a set anyway.
I think the marketing for this movie is genius and it shows they are having a bit of fun with it which will probably resonate well with audiences.
Kinda OT. But I feel this movie has a chance to sell a lot of merch. We know Joker and Harley will get a lot of attention in that regard.
I think the marketing lends itself to the off-beat nature of the movie. It's supposed to be conflicting in the sense that you'll probably be rooting for bad guys pretending to be the good guys.
So with such a weird premise you have weird marketing like SS cereal that nobody should willingly eat.

Oh I get it now lol it's genius.
Maybe by Tuesday they mean 12am Tuesday in Australia which means any second now.

I'm going to assume most of the publications and sites sent are from the West Coast, so the embargo will be more tailored to them.

If anybody caught Game of Thrones last night, the DP replacing Fong for JL worked on that episode.
It's 9am EST.

Don't know. It's very atypical. Usually set visits are held until the press tours are about to begin for a film (so months, if not an entire year), but they're pushing these out in a week of journalists being there.
He's very talented, I'm excited but Fong really knows how to create those comic page come to life moments.
I just finished watching it. Some of the CG shots were a bit spotty, but I'll chalk it up to the fact that it's a tv show and HBO doesn't have WB's pockets. Other than that, it was very good. I think with Snyder's direction JL is bound to look great.

Some Batman v Superman's scenes were shot in a great way, e.g. the beggining of the movie. Other shots were not so good, e.g.
when Doomsday lights up with all those thunders.
I hope Snyder learned from his mistakes and he will take good care of every scene of the movie. The league deserves it.

I'll miss Larry Fong, BvS looked fantastic. Losing him and Zimmer really sucks

Neither here nor there, CG quality in the big 3 comic films this year felt lacking in spots. Rarely takes away from my enjoyment, but it stood out.
One scene in X-Men Apocalypse,
Deadpool might have been the least noticeable. Suicide Squad is looking sharp, too.

Psylocke running on a building and picked up by Angel, turned into a Beowulf for a moment.
