Just came back from BvS...

I hate to see wasted potential. Like literately the movie had a bunch of interesting plot beats and scenarios but just failed to deliver. Everything about the movie imo just screamed good idea but it just sat there and never really utilized well. WB/DC need to Fire Zack Synder because he is not doing any of the material, actors, etc. justice. Pun Not intended.


Its the MGSV of Blockbuster movies except it didn't have really good gameplay to fall back on.
 
I got the digital dash

She want a picture with all of my niggas just to make the visuals last
but she too embarrassed to ask
I got my foot on they neck and foot on the gas
you remind me of a quarterback
yo shit is all in the pass(past)
Esco and boom they got it on smash
and I got the, I got the, I got the, I got the, I

One of the more repeated songs off that tape, pretty sure it's in my top 50 most played on iTunes. *checks* Yea, sittin at 16.

I too have recently watched Batman v Superman.

The first hour was personally great for me. The credits got the back story out of the way, Bruce Wayne was portrayed nicely, etc etc. At that point, I thought "Perhaps GAF and reviewers over exaggerated, maybe the movie will have a slight downturn and end decent overall".
No.
Oh no.
How wrong I was.
The movie's promise ended around that point, and was a downhill descent into oblivion.
How one can mess up so badly with such a seemingly simple premise is beyond me.
 
Idk if I'd call it ADD or leaving out key details and adding unnecessary Justice League fluff.

I can't honestly call it a bad movie but I will say it made me angry enough that if Suicide Squad isn't good, I'm sticking strictly to DC's TV shows and Animated Stuff.

I call it ADD because most of the scenes in the movie are short and sprint like a badly timed slide show presentation. Additionally, there's no context or reason for a great deal of the scenes in the movie. The scene are just there. On top of that the trailers gave way too much of the good stuff away.

I will say Ben did an amazing job with what he had to work with and I hope a standalone film is made without snyders input
 
The scene with Bruce's POV of Man of Steel had me hooked immedietly. Everything about that scene was great

Yeah, tbh the movie could've been an ounce better if motives were explained better. You pretty much had to guess the entire movie, especially with Lex.

Lex's motives made sense. He hates this Christ like figure for being all powerful and shit. Hates that he is beloved, goes at great lengths to stop that. He hates Superman for existing. Only thing I had any questions with were his motives with the ship.

Going to see BvS tomorrow. Opinions are so divided that I'm mostly curious. Also, everyone is so damn angry. People who like it are going at detractors' heads. People who dislike it act like Snyder pistol whipped them in front of their family. Curious to see what kind of movie causes such reactions.

It's a movie that feels like it's almost amazing. Like you can see all the talent and brilliance and it just fails to coalesce, which makes it almost annoying to watch after a point.

What the fuck is going on with gaf
or porn hub
?

Just clicked a thread and got a ton of continuous pop up pages. Had to shut down my phone. Is phone viruses a thing? Do I need a virus scanner? Or is it just ad bullshit? Do I need a mobile ad blocker?

And when I say ad blocker for me, I mean, for my mom.

That was honestly my favorite part of the movie.
The remixed MOS theme there worked very well.
I think I remember liking that theme. But the number of times they play superman's mopy ass theme with the piano had me rolling my eyes. But maybe it's because I hate
his relationship with lois

you haven't lived until a random little kid ask you "how do you make love".
Regina Hall is really hot in Black-ish.

And I thought she was 35, not 45.

A goofy goddess. I've been crushing forever. She gives off strong ride or die vibes.


Blessing on Gordon and the rest of bct.

Glad that worked out for you. I know you were kind of apprehensive about dropping in.

I had a flight from Vegas to LA once where I was stuck in the window seat by a tourist that had obviously been sick (probably eating tons of shrimp and drinking all night) and smelled like day old sun baked shit. The whole flight I was gasping for air, but I felt really bad for him and his folks.
Yeah, it was pretty awesome, too.

I got an uber to the house so I was just able to quietly show up and ring the doorbell. They were expecting one of my aunts to drop by so when I rang the bell they expected it to be her and it was cool seeing the double takes and huge smiles that followed. Wish I recorded that.

Been having a blast down here also. Watched the Christmas special of Black Mirror and that is some of the best fucking TV ever made, I'm convinced.

No plans yet for what I'm going to do with the rest of my time here.
 
Good morning, all. Have a happy chocolate bunny day, if that's your thing. Otherwise, have a happy peep day..

You have my condolences and blessings man.

I always miss so much here! I will add that Batman = Gotham's verison of The Illuminati (Marvel, not conspiracy).

He thinks he knows best, but he'd really do better with more outsider advice/help. But hey, that's part of the conceit.
