    I'm not aware of the meaning of that use of "female"

    Edit: oh, it was a typo. Nevermind.

    Devin Faraci's review just made me really sad because it really, really made me wish some filmmaker would handle Superman properly. Like, I suddenly had this incredible outpouring of sympathy for the character and fans of the character. I don't even read Superman!

    I'm curious how they are going to explain the cross over with supergirl.

    Last nights Flash spoilers
    This is how they are going to make Jessie into Jessie Quick the speedster, isn't it?

    I got nothing for you now. Try again later.

    Go watch Captain America be a better Superman in Winter Soldier.

    Thor: The Dark World just fucking claiming the red cape in the intro has somehow gotten better over time.

    I'm slightly surprised that this Supes still as a cape.

    Yeah, that's a good review for someone like me, and confirms everything I expected

    Someday I'll get my Superman movie, but this ain't it

    5: The most average and boring score?

  • BlankZoeBlankZoe Registered User regular
    5/10 is pretty bad for movies though

    They have the same problems with reviews as games

    Anything below 7/10 or the equivalent is real bad

    Max Landis you dumb

    Max Landis, I really liked your wrestling video but you keep saying things that make me think that was a fluke.

    You gonna get super excited to go see a movie like that if it's score is "mediocre"?

    Max Landis is a dumb baby and people should stop paying attention to him unless he's making fun videos about dumb things or writing a decent movie

    that tweet reminded me that eisenberg told landis that he based his luthor performance on him

    and suddenly so many things make sense

  • Centipede DamascusCentipede Damascus Registered User regular
    I just saw Max Landis on Reddit about half an hour ago saying he was drunk on absinthe, which is 1) hilarious and 2) probably a lie considering his tweeting doesn't seem to be impaired

    which makes it even more hilarious, actually. who lies about being drunk on absinthe??

    He made a couple videos about Superman that I disagreed with but could respect

    What little I read of that spec script for a Fantastic Four movie seemed pretty good

    I quite enjoyed Chronicle

    Max Landis should just shut his yap unless he's making something worth a dang, basically get him off twitter

    Fucking get him off Reddit too

    Get away from all social media and just put out a cogent video when you want to have a discussion, Max

    It's done on an American high-school test grade results.

    70-79% means that you're average.

    And, depending on where you are, either any score below 70 is a failing grade or 68% and below is failing.

    Either way, to get 50% on the scaled bell-curve is pretty fucking terrible.

    Humor can be dissected as a frog can, but dies in the process.

    Justice League starts filming in a month. It might not be too late to dump Snyder and get George Miller.

    Everyone at Warner Bros. knows exactly what they were getting. If they didn't like it, they would have canned Snyder after Man of Steel. This is the direction they've decided to go in, and unless this movie somehow manages to completely flop, they aren't going to change their minds based on reviews that tell them what they definitely already know.

    oh thank God they just pulled off the band aid of Jay being Zoom

    Having another few episodes of them figuring it out would have been a bad call

    I'm not normally That Guy but I hope against hope that after this movie makes its first week's box office, it tanks, because then they can throw it all in the garbage and go back to the drawing board like Sony had to

    Or just pull a Days of Future Past and then retcon the fuck out of it as a parallel universe

    (also it'd be kinda funny, with Justice League about to start shooting that'd be a real dire situation they'd made for themselves)

    oh goddammit

    god DAMMIT

    BVS stuff
    i had totally forgotten until now that i spotted a Jimmy Olsen listed in the credits but didn't remember seeing him at all in the movie, so i just looked up his actor

    he's Lois's photographer during her first scene when she interviews an African warlord, except he isn't actually a photographer, he's a CIA agent who smuggles in a tracker or something and when it's discovered he gets shot in the fucking face

    THIS FUCKING MOVIE

    They're in a lot deeper than Sony was with Amazing Spider-Man. Like, they've already released Wonder Woman footage, and it's...super hard to turn around on something that starts filming in a month and go "haha nope just kidding"

    Depending on how Wonder Woman is written, they could cut it so that it's agnostic towards the film universe and just have it be stand-alone.

    I mean, it does matter.

    One of the most damning things you can say about a movie is that it's boring. Not that you loved it or hated it, but that it was just boring.

    It's gonna make bank opening weekend, but if it's a shite movie, this is going to basically be the antithesis to The Avengers in every respect.
