BvS All Things Batman v Superman: An Open Discussion - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Part 234

Well not the Russos originally, i had some scepticism of them being mainly TV directors leading a big budget Marvel film, then i was proven wrong when the film released.

But the Winter Soldier was so good that there's no way that was a fluke. They got the tone of the Marvel Universe right and it's just done in a way that no other film in that series stacks up against it. Can't be a fluke.

I literally just ate a deep fried Snickers bar, which in fact required a knife and fork. If my arteries clog and kill me tonight, it was worth it.

I salute you. My country is said to have invented the deep-fried Mars bar and most of us are still alive. Just.

 

[I Am The Knight]

The Russo bros were quite a pleasant discovery, altough prior to Winter Soldier I had seen and liked Welcome to Colinwood, I simply never gave the directors' names a second thought. Then years later they go and make one of the best Marvel movies.

When did i call it a fluke?

I said that I was sceptical at first but later on stood corrected.

Wait a minute. They had actor interviews at SDCC?

Not a interview like with someone asking questions but one of those on set interviews you see on DVD extras. Similar to this
[YT]watch?v=RVn9FjwbDG8[/YT]

From what I can remember, part of the sizzle reel had Zack Snyder, Ben Affleck and Henry Cavill discussing BvS and the DC universe in general, with Zack Snyder commenting how "The DC universe is ready to explode" or something along those lines.

EDIT: fixed the link

'Other' studios make movies. DC makes Films.

DC has this bad habit of taking something ageless and inadvertently dating it. The DC logo went from abstract bullet to a symbolic swoosh... to the turn of a page... as in, the an ancient tangible pulp of dead trees product... right as they were beginning an all digital initiative- as in content change with swiping, scrolls, and clicks... page-turns the thing of the past... like using a floppy disk to represent "Save Document."

I like DC Films a many times more than DC Extended Universe which was terrible. It had so many problems. It sounded like a Star Wars universe that Star Wars dumped. It sounded like a male enhancement product. It was ambiguous, confusing, and not clearly tied to movies while excluding TV. The acronym is DCEU, which is an anagram for "duce" as in "to drop a" and pronouncing it aloud you're literally saying "DC... Ewww!" everytime you say it... "ewww" being an expression of disgust, dislike, or disdain.

DC Films has two problems: 1) "DC... FU!" Good for Suicide Squad but not exactly four-quadrant family friendly for the Justice League. 2) FILM... fine for now, MoS, BvS, SS, & WW are all shot on film and Snyder would probably sooner quit then shoot Justice League digital... but tying your content to a medium again? It's making the logo a paper page-turn all over again in the digital age.

People love the new DC logo though, so I hope they stick with DC Films. It doesn't mean they have to shoot everything on film, just like the comics have all gone day-and-date-digital regardless. Not saying I want them to go digital like Guardians of the Galaxy 2 is, but if the story and the director want it, I don't think they should be bound by branding.

I'd pay good money for that DC Sizzle Reel.

I quite like the page-flip logo. I think it's a deliberate statement that while we are entering into and embracing the digital age, we're not going to forget where we came from. As a graphic designer, I'm a fan.

************ just give me this movie Snyder. Now!!!!!!!!!

 

[egg]

lex's bald scene has something to do with killing senator finch.

 

[Mainline]

The movies are being made using film though.

Which I pointed out in the rest of the post. The issue isn't what's happening now. When the floppy disk was the Save icon it was because people saved to floppies. It was relevant. As film- as a medium- is now. My whole point is that it's perhaps unnecessarily dating your branding. Less than 15 years later, kids don't know what a floppy disk is. I don't think the same thing will happen to the word "film" but it's use as a medium will probably have faded 10-15 years from now.

I do say I'm happy with the name. I just find it an odd DC idiosyncrasy.

 

[RadioSha]

I'm still sticking with DC Cinema.

Detective Comics Cinema y'all

I have seen some absurd nitpickng in my day, but this is right up there.

Ok El Mayimbe Jr Lex shaves his head to conceal that he strangled the Senator to death, where he fully turns to his dark self right?

[I Am The Knight]

Pretty much.

 

[Rapunzel]

Zyrson was wrong; Lex doesn't throw his wig at Superman, but instead, throws it at Senator Finch when she tries to stop him from releasing Doomsday...naturally, Lex's wig is a special lethal one, and kills Finch.
