Lets make a deal

If in two years i'm a cynical, jaded, joyless fellow i'll buy you a reasonably priced game on steam

Now, I won't want to rub it in your face

 

[Ahasverus]

Most of the bad reviews just scream Reeve/Donner's nostalgia. Yuck.

 

[Bobby Roberts]

Also, fuck gaming and E3.

Whoa whoa whoa whoa WHOA.

Mega Man is in Smash Bros.

Let's not get HASTY.

 

[Sanjuro]

We were wrong, it was Bryan Singer all along.

 

[Solo]

Whoa whoa whoa whoa WHOA.

Mega Man is in Smash Bros.

The Witcher 3 is all that matters and I didn't need E3 or new consoles for that!

*shakes fist*

Dat RT consensus:

Also, fuck gaming and E3.

Could be worse. Could be this Thursday night or Friday.

Seems like Nolan is the weak link in the creative team behind this movie going by a lot of reviews

Rotten Tomatoes has ruined life
Metacritic has ruined life

Critical poetry.

Targeting me won't get their tomatometer score back. I knew the reviewers wouldn't go down without a fight, but this is different. They crossed the line.

How much did Nolan even do on this? It seemed like he was joking that he didn't do much.

 

[Bobby Roberts]

Now THAT is a fuckin poster.

Wasn't really serious ;P

In other news, I picked this up today:

You crossed the line first, sir. You read the consensus, you hammered them to the point of mediocre scores. And in their desperation, they turned to a site they didn't fully understand.

Critics aren't complicated, Solfred. Just have to figure out what they're after.

With all due respect sir, perhaps this is a site you don't fully understand.

The drinks in this joint need to be WAY stronger if this is the level of dinner theater they're gonna put on.

 

[Dead]

Solo, have you previewed the score at all yet, or are you waiting to hear it in the context of the movie first

 

[Wilbur]

With all due respect sir, perhaps this is a site you don't fully understand.

So why use them?

 

[TEJ]

no more dead cops

oh wait that doesn't work with what you just said

no more dead critics

I always* wait for the movie.


*99% of the time. I do recall listening to Reznor/Ross' Dragon Tattoo score early.

So why use them?

Deception and theatricality are powerful agents.

He's in the middle of a PERFORMANCE. Please do not talk to the actors while they are onstage.

(he's going to listen afterwards)

 

[MisterHero]

What an amazing poster. It screams Alex Ross to me, but there are probably equally talented painters out there.

Where is it from, DaveH?

 

[vitaminwateryum]

It's worth noting that the Mondo poster will be an open edition, so if you're interested in buying one there will be no crazy rush to snag one in a matter of seconds.

More information can be found here.

Considering your love of BBs score, I think you're gonna really enjoy it.

Thanks for the Mondo info

Jeremy Smith (Mr. Beaks) review of Man of Steel is now up at AintitCool

70%? 70%?!?!

This is the last time I ever get hyped for a movie.

Spoiler

Watching it in Imax

 

[ReiGun]

Hey guys, what's going on in here? Still melting down over RT scores?

 

[Error]

Next Supes movie should be about saving kittens in trees, a date with Lois that includes a flying scene, Supes cracking one-liners and showing his teeth all the time smiling.

and they should bring back richard pryor from the dead to be in it as a whacky comic relief character

and superman should have a long lost brother played by dean cain

bruce wayne {played by bale} should stop on by for a love triangle between superman, and lois, with superman trying to choose who he loves the most.

We'll see....but it tends to be the JNH somber, introspective stuff that really gets me going on BB.

Although....Molossus is Zimmer and its my favorite action cue in the past decade, so who knows? I'll find out in a few days.

I've already cancelled my tickets and the pizza. I'll wait for the VHS version.

I'd read post/more reviews if I could tell which ones had spoilers in them. Just saying.

fwiw this degree of back-and-forth is pretty much what I expected. I'm just fine... so far.

you had pizza going? dang man, could have at least brought it here....

I was sucker punched. :'(

also. anyone in NY avoid reading the NY Daily news review as the imbecile in that review spoiled a very important plot point (fucking idiot) all the while complaining about "no fun" or whatever new tripe it is reviewers have come up with to shit on a movie. same for the associated press review.

I'm convinced the film is shit now.

The Ain't it cool review is nice.

I don't give a fuck about these critical reviews.

I like the Donner films. But they pretty much made it impossible to reboot the character. To a lot of people that's the definite Superman.

I'm not positive you'd like it. Not nearly as bombastic as DKR, but a one trick pony through much of the score. I'm curious how they'll implement it during the key scenes.

As it should be.

Seeing it either at a Saturday matinee or Monday night, depending on how things shake out with the people I'm going with. Despite having to wait 2 extra days, I think I'd prefer the Monday show - a Saturday matinee won't be even closed to packed, and these movies always work better with a full crowd.

 

[sketchsanchez]

Im bet he hates the shit out of this movie just existing

"A darker superman?! HARRUMPH"
-Alex Ross

EDIT: Oh wait, this wasn't by him?

Speaking of BB's score, its a goddamn tragedy that, 8 years after release, its STILL not on iTunes. I actually have to pull out the old CD if I want to listen to it. Or go to Youtube, lol.

I'm doing Saturday night IMAX. Across the theater is a wonderful pub with the best home brews in the state of RI. Plan on reflecting with heavy alcoholism with a bunch of friends

...I mean fuck this. Not going to this inferior to Green Lantern trash.
