Justice League (DC 2017 film)

groan-ups

I didn't see the theatrical version but I'll take Snyder's OTT self-serious juvenalia over Whedon's poisonous "witty" banter any fucking day

otm

i really loved the "ultimate cut" of batman v. superman

Guys, it's OK to hate both of them, they're both shit.

Oh, this was just on tv and I watched it for 2 minutes. It was people in costumes fighting with cartoon things.

forget that, i watched 2 minutes of avengers age of ultron, it turns out.

quelle est la différence!

Oh boy

Zack Snyder says his four-hour cut of 'Justice League' is likely coming to theaters — with an R rating and F-bomb-dropping Batman. Plus, the director weighs in on the Warner Bros. streaming controversy.​ https://t.co/0xekTaqgFa

This fucking arsehole.

Well this is made for grownups, so you’re not in the demographic.

Zack Snyder says ...an F-bomb-dropping Batman.

Does he also take his bat-dingus out and waggle it at some point

Zack, you will convince me that your bat-film is for grownups when I read the news that it's now largely about Bruce Wayne dealing with the fallout of his recent divorce while trying to figure out how he's going to pay for his daughter's college tuition.

Finally, an R-rated superman movie.

lol

I didn’t mind this movie (in fact, compared to most others here I absolutely loved it) but the Snyder cult is just neverending comedy

i'm gonna watch this but yeah kinda more baffled than anything this is all happening

Oh joy

Zack Snyder’s ‘Justice League’ (2021) will now be officially released as a 4-hour film on HBO Max and not a 4-part miniseries.

The R-Rated film will also receive an IMAX release according to Snyder himself. pic.twitter.com/N5wwdlZVgE

how much are they going to pay people to watch it?

Not sure which will be worse, endlessly hearing about this stupid shitty thing coming up, or endlessly hearing dipshits raving about it once it comes out.

Thank goodness this movie will finally have the opportunity to be good just like all those other Zack Snyder movies.

at last, the video game cutscenes we were promised

psyched for the chance to literally risk my life to watch this in imax during a global pandemic

New trailer out for this today. I don't know what this says about me, but I've hated every one of Snyder's movies, the trailer looks exactly like the same old nonsense as before, and yet I'm kind of curious to see this, perhaps even feeling forgiving toward it. It's a vote against Whedon, too, I suppose, although no doubt there are dozens like him working at HBO/DC.

who's the villain in this movie? "SJWs"?

note that the joker scene is from dream sequence #1 in BvS meaning it will have no impact on anything else in the movie

OK since now there's apparently a black-and-white version of Zack Snyder's JUSTICE LEAGUE here's a thread detailing the extremely weird changes to this extremely weird movie, with all the weird twists and contradictions along the way. This thread might be updated over time. https://t.co/4BYpLRjbk5

i like it already

I gotta be honest the "lol Snyder's process is nuts / he can't make up his mind" thing isn't all that funny or even weird when you remember he exited post-production when his daughter committed suicide

if he's too unstable to stick to a decision about the actual format of the film from week to week, maybe it's not a great idea to give him $70 million just to edit and reformat his film

especially when the streaming service which you're paying him to make it for has already flopped so hard that you've fired many senior executives at, nearly half the editorial staff of, the entire marketing department of multiple decades' experience in, and completely shut down the dedicated streaming service of, the division of the company that manages the IP that Snyder is polishing

and completely shut down the dedicated streaming service of, the division of the company that manages the IP that Snyder is polishing

What is this one?

cannot bring myself to care about aspect ratios but god bless you

I don't care about the content or form of this film at all, just the ways in which it functions as one node of a malign destructive influence on the consumer / art relationship in toto

What is this one?

DC Universe

I agree and yet remain curious to see it.

I think perhaps I'm more sympathetic to Snyder's humourlessness because the last year has made me more humourless.

Given his family tragedy, and the fact that he lost (or "lost") his film to one of 2021's most hated assholes, I guess I have warmed to him a bit

If it looks okay on fast forward I'll be happy

Don't make me think about Watchmen though

at one point i might champion him for going full Snyder.

The amount of time and effort and money that's been spent on this halfwitted farrago of bullshit.

The big ol' story today

https://www.vanityfair.com/hollywood/2021/02/the-true-story-of-justice-league-snyder-cut

Personally I come away with it thinking that Snyder -- in line with some other comments I've heard -- is indeed by all accounts a very decent fellow who absolutely adores his family and who along with his wife was understandably crushed at his daughter's passing. And, completely separately from that, has some absolutely 'the fuck?' storytelling choices.

I had never seen a photo of Snyder before, that is not what I expected him to look like. (Bill Simmons meets Seth McFarlane tbh)

I feel for him, as he's definitely been through some terrible shit. And it's nice to hear that he's apparently a genuinely good guy. I just wish that he was, y'know, like a doctor or a car salesman or an alderman rather than the guy making these movies.

is indeed by all accounts a very decent fellow

Unfortunate that his own public statements tend to depict him as an aggressive, arrogant, bullying oaf with little comprehension of art or of opinions differing from his own. I'll read this story though.

^^^^

I mean all of those things can be true

I made it halfway through and got bored of his quotes about how brilliant he is, and how lame-ass losers who don't think he is always get shown up

Seriously. Most profiles are press releases, at least in part, but that read like it was written and edited by Snyder himself.

I think my favorite part is the thing where everyone has sheltered him from the Whedon cut because it was such a betrayal of Snyder's visionary genius.

Has he worked with the Sons of Anarchy guy? They seem like a match made in heaven.

the whedon cut does sound v dumb and bad.

the snyder cut will also be dumb and bad but maybe not as much?
