Do you have evidence to back up the theory? If so please explain in full with diagrams.

Don’t do drugs, unless you’re with me.

Batman V Superman: Ultimate Edition … it was FAR better than the theatrical cut and gave the film a much better flow.

I give it ****, 5 stars being tops.

I give it zero starts. Or, in my system, 👎 (thumbs down).

I think we should make up a multi-page spreadsheet with a list of all the aspects of a movie, and then by entering the data we gather by watching a movie and gathering a consensus of ten OTers we can agree on an empirical and fitting rating for each film.

The Cabin in the Woods (2012) - 8/10

Hilarious take on classic horror tropes/cliche’s. Trippy ending as well.

Not enough people read the EU.

Rented Kung Fu 3 last night, it was fine, not as good as the second though.

Finally ponied up for Hulu on Friday and hit the Criterion collection hard. So far I’ve been through:

The Hidden Fortress - I can’t believe it took me so long to get around to this one, given the fact that I’ve been hearing about it as it relates to the origins of Star Wars for years and years. Lovely, exciting, charming movie. My only issue was what the hell they were trying to do with Princess Yuki’s voice, but on the whole I loved it.

The American Astronaut - not a Criterion movie, but it was something I watched almost weekly when I was in film school so it scratches a similar itch. I hadn’t seen it in five or six years and it was like coming home. Such a strange little homoerotic musical space western, but I adore the hell out of it.

The Naked Kiss - another thing from college I decided to revisit. Pure pulp goodness. I can’t believe they got away with it in 1964.

Knife in the Water - very interesting as a look at Roman Polanski’s earliest work, but a little bit of a slog to get through. It felt a good bit longer than it actually was. Happy to have seen it, but I don’t imagine this is going to be one that I come back to regularly.

I might fire up another Kurosawa flick after the Euro Cup final. I promised my buddy I’d hold off on Seven Samurai and Yojimbo until he’s around, so I’ll probably go with Rashomon.

I understand you on BvS. I’m curious to hear more about Man of Steel. My opinion is similar to Jon Schnepp and John Campea

I can’t speak for him, but Snyder’s version of the Man of Steel insults me to my very core. He’s an angry, whiny, sadistic fool with no regard for human life.

Man of Steel features a “hero” whose parents tell him that people suck and should possibly all just die. “Superman” takes that advice to heart and never tries to help anyone but his girlfriend in the final battle, and then in the aftermath of the chaos and destruction, he leaves to cause even more by smashing a satillite for fun, rather than helping the survivors of the mess he made.

BvS is actually kinda fun if I see it as a corny, over-the-top parody of Frank Miller. If I take it seriously, which Snyder wants me to do, it’s a disaster.

EDIT: I just realized that Snyder’s Superman is just weaker Dr. Manhatten. He only cares about the human he can have sex with, and the rest can die for all he cares.

Also, I don’t know who Jon Schnepp and John Campea are. Should I?

Jon Schnepp is a huge comic book/movie nerd who is on FilmHQ, Collider Movie Talk, and he hosts Collider Heros (comic book movie talk show). He’s funny and very knowledgeable in comic lore. He was a big fan of Man of Steel, hated the BvS theatrical cut and thought the Ultimate Edition was a vast improvement.

John Campea is head of FilmHQ, former head of Collider Movie Talk, and is on Collider Jedi Council (Star Wars Talk show). He loved man of steel, thought BvS was ok, and thought the ultimate edition was a small improvement.

I really recommend you check out shows like “Schmoes Know”, “Collider…Movie Talk, Heroes and Jedi Council”. They’re free on YouTube/Podcasts. Schmoes Know is on Fridays, Heroes is on Wedsdays, Jedi Councils on Thursdays and Movie Talk is on every weekday. I listen to them all on my podcasts app. Basically any movie fan, Star Wars Fan, Marvel Fan, or DC Fan would love their content. I’d bet most people on this site would really dig their shows.

And half the reason I listen is because of the people. Kristian Harloff, Jon Schnepp, John Campea and Mark Ellis are great!

My thoughts on Man of Steel are stated in your thread on it.
