you can tell Bad Superman is Bad because he is unshaven
― Οὖτις, Friday, 31 March 2017 16:42 (seven years ago) link
and he's drunk!

and the palette of his suit has darkened slightly

You can also identify Bad Superman by his tendency to straighten leaning towers.

Superman, King of Pogs
he could almost fit into the Snyderverse

Really want to see grim-faced Henry Cavill sitting there shooting marbles.

Dramatic slow-motion closeup of a big ol' aggie bouncing out of the circle.
xxpost Well, there's a difference between Surly & Ornery Bad and Genocidal Fountain of Rage Bad.

Drunken Cavill flicking peanuts through bar patrons' skulls.
did Target Kid ever join the LOS?

Yeah, he replaced Wal-Mart Lad iirc.

He has to modify the beer in order that he can get drunk, but after he sobers up there's still super beer in the taps, and everyone gets drunk and superpowers, leading to carnage and an opportunity to reflect.

Oh yeah, I want to see Henry Cavill's big ol' aggie too.

Bad Superman blowing out the Olympic torch is some A-level trolling
― Neanderthal, Friday, 31 March 2017 17:12 (seven years ago) link
Snyder's Bad Superman puts the Olympic torch out in an orphan's face.

(And the audience is confused because his behavior is largely indistinguishable from the ostensibly good version of Superman.)

I don't understand what that clip is from. I don't see Caesar so I assume it's from the original, but I don't see Marky Mark either. Confused!

hard-pressed to say any of the POTA movies are actually good. the one w the nihilist nuke ending (II?) is certainly batshit enough to be called "interesting".
― Οὖτις, Friday, 31 March 2017 17:34 (seven years ago) link
you and yr ceaseless rongness
― Supercreditor (Dr Morbius), Friday, 31 March 2017 17:55 (seven years ago) link
the initial Schaffner/Heston POTA is a blast, esp singing along with Jerry Goldsmith's score.
It's a planet of the apes!Dirty filthy smelly apes!
― Supercreditor (Dr Morbius), Friday, 31 March 2017 17:57 (seven years ago) link
it's a chore to sit through imo

iconic final shot notwithstanding
original POTA is classic

(although it's much more impressive on a theater screen, w/ those desert vistas shot by Leon Shamroy)
― Supercreditor (Dr Morbius), Friday, 31 March 2017 18:16 (seven years ago) link
Original POTA boasts maybe the greatest shot in cinema history:

I've always assumed that had to be intentional. Surely.
― Ambling Shambling Man (Old Lunch), Friday, 31 March 2017 18:46 (seven years ago) link
lol yes.
not only does it look and sound great, it is very much classic sci fi. commenting on age and race and class and all kinds of social/political issues through the lens of THE FUTURE.
― AdamVania (Adam Bruneau), Friday, 31 March 2017 19:15 (seven years ago) link
also kind of kick-started the pre-Star Wars era where all sci fi was dystopian commentary
thus necessitating the wookie

it's kind of a shame i limited myself to theatrical series because Leprechaun 4: In Space probably deserved some attention here.

Didn't vote, but I've only seen Conquest of the Planet of the Apes, which is good, and the top two finishers, which ARE NOT *BAD* MOVIES. The others are either from series I had no interest in, or cash-ins you could smell in the next county.

ahh c'mon phantom menace is a disaster. leaden shuffling around, no story, no emotions, pathetic world-building, racism...

one peg down from Return of the Jedi...
― ice cream social justice (Dr Morbius), Thursday, 9 November 2017 06:11 (six years ago) link
when's the last time you watched either? serious question. imho jedi is a pretty good if unfocused kids' adventure movie with some clunky carpentry showing and some pacing/structure issues, but charismatic performances and a ton of craft on the screen, ranking high for the genre and time period. it's nothing on the previous two, but a good afternoon's viewing with very little to outright cringe at. phantom menace is so, so narratively inert and comparing the two really makes me like jedi more since i realize: wow, i know what the characters' motivations are! wow, the people stuck delivering exposition try to make something of it! etc....
to be fair, phantom's still not as bad as the followups. attack of the clones really is like the death of cinema. now i wonder if i should do a 'fifth' thread.

Crystal skull is utter shit.
But most of these movies are utter shit tbf.
