you can tell Bad Superman is Bad because he is unshaven

Οὖτις, Friday, 31 March 2017 16:42 (nine years ago)

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

and the palette of his suit has darkened slightly

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.

Ambling Shambling Man (Old Lunch), Friday, 31 March 2017 16:51 (nine years ago)

Drunken Cavill flicking peanuts through bar patrons' skulls.

Ambling Shambling Man (Old Lunch), Friday, 31 March 2017 16:51 (nine years ago)

did Target Kid ever join the LOS?

Οὖτις, Friday, 31 March 2017 16:57 (nine years ago)

Yeah, he replaced Wal-Mart Lad iirc.

Ambling Shambling Man (Old Lunch), Friday, 31 March 2017 16:59 (nine years ago)

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.

Andrew Farrell, Friday, 31 March 2017 17:00 (nine years ago)

Dramatic slow-motion closeup of a big ol' aggie bouncing out of the circle.

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 (nine years ago)

Snyder's Bad Superman puts the Olympic torch out in an orphan's face.

Ambling Shambling Man (Old Lunch), Friday, 31 March 2017 17:14 (nine years ago)

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

Ambling Shambling Man (Old Lunch), Friday, 31 March 2017 17:15 (nine years ago)

"Ohhhh, I see, that first kid he brutally assaulted had parents."

Ambling Shambling Man (Old Lunch), Friday, 31 March 2017 17:15 (nine years ago)

only film u shd be discussing here

4th apes is the best apes

PURE, BEAUTIFUL OIL (Sparkle Motion), Friday, 31 March 2017 17:30 (nine years ago)

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!

Ambling Shambling Man (Old Lunch), Friday, 31 March 2017 17:34 (nine years ago)

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 (nine years ago)

you and yr ceaseless rongness

Supercreditor (Dr Morbius), Friday, 31 March 2017 17:55 (nine years ago)

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 (nine years ago)

it's a chore to sit through imo

Οὖτις, Friday, 31 March 2017 18:08 (nine years ago)

iconic final shot notwithstanding

Οὖτις, Friday, 31 March 2017 18:08 (nine years ago)

original POTA is classic

AdamVania (Adam Bruneau), Friday, 31 March 2017 18:09 (nine years ago)

u r BANANAS, Shakey

Supercreditor (Dr Morbius), Friday, 31 March 2017 18:13 (nine years ago)

(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 (nine years ago)

Original POTA boasts maybe the greatest shot in cinema history:

Gore Vidal script doctoring strikes again!

insidious assymetrical weapons (Eric H.), Friday, 31 March 2017 18:44 (nine years ago)

heh

Οὖτις, Friday, 31 March 2017 18:44 (nine years ago)

I've always assumed that had to be intentional. Surely.

Ambling Shambling Man (Old Lunch), Friday, 31 March 2017 18:46 (nine years ago)

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 (nine years ago)

also kind of kick-started the pre-Star Wars era where all sci fi was dystopian commentary

thus necessitating the wookie

AdamVania (Adam Bruneau), Friday, 31 March 2017 19:16 (nine years ago)

two weeks pass...

six months pass...

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.

ice cream social justice (Dr Morbius), Thursday, 9 November 2017 05:44 (eight years ago)

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

Doctor Casino, Thursday, 9 November 2017 05:52 (eight years ago)

one peg down from Return of the Jedi...

ice cream social justice (Dr Morbius), Thursday, 9 November 2017 06:11 (eight years ago)

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.

Doctor Casino, Thursday, 9 November 2017 06:26 (eight years ago)

Crystal skull is utter shit.

But most of these movies are utter shit tbf.

Will rep for Bourne 4

Gary Synaesthesia (darraghmac), Thursday, 9 November 2017 09:55 (eight years ago)

pls make a fifth thread doc

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_film_series_with_five_entries

Can't say I have a lot of enthusiasm either way once serieses get to 5.

Anne of the Thousand Gays (Eric H.), Thursday, 9 November 2017 14:59 (eight years ago)

Revenge of the Nerds 4 deserved to be on this list

frogbs, Thursday, 9 November 2017 15:01 (eight years ago)

Bernard Crunderdunder (Old Lunch), Thursday, 9 November 2017 15:02 (eight years ago)
