Haha at the CBM comments that someone said the film was "abysmal"

Of course, it doesn't matter if it gets a dozen great reactions from KNOWN sources and 2 bad ones, one from an unknown, unnamed source, those two bad ones will be the focus of trolls and haters. It's why I've decided not to visit any news site and read comments until the embargo is lifted and MOS hopefully proves itself to be a hit. I'll only be here because it's a troll and haters free place.

Genius: natural ability or capacity; strong inclination: a special genius for leadership. Synonyms: gift, talent, aptitude, faculty, endowment, predilection; penchant, knack, bent, flair, wizardry.

There is more than the "egghead" type of genius in this world

 

[moviefan!]

Damage control? Why would they just suddenly lift a part of one guys embargo? I bet his comments are going to be all glowing too.

Wtf why would it be damage control? Lol you guys

Why not?

Anyway I hope that this whole thing makes it's way to YT!

I hope so. The guy appears to be recording it with the vids he's posted on his twitter

"[when] playing an icon you don't try to be an icon. That defeats the purpose."

So Clark-like of you, Cavill

Been lurking here for a while but I enjoy reading the comments.I used to post over at the IMDB's board but that has been over taken by trolls and overall haters

I have not been this excited for a movie since The Dark Knight and I may be more excited for MOS than TDK .

So fingers crossed that MOS will be a huge hit cause Superman needs to be front and center.

There would usually be transcripts of the press junket. That's what happened with the TDKR press junket. They posted the entire thing. Well almost the entire thing (since some journalist asked about the Talia twist and Nolan scolded her ).

Atlanta Readers: Win Passes to MAN OF STEEL

I'm on vacation that week, so I hope I win a pass.

Early reviews giving their opinions on films hoping you care. Same old same old.
Take any one of these reviews and have it come out 2 weeks after release, if you still care about their opinion, then maybe they are critics worth followin.

All that talk of female roles seems like someone walked into the film with an agenda and bone to pick with the industry. May favorite type reviewer...

My experience with this...I wrote a thesis script for school and had a group of characters saving the world...pretty basic characters...the hero, his mentor, a swashbuckling Han Solo type and this silent samurai character who was a badass everytime he was in scene...i created this back story that he was a monk and took a vow of silence to reach the highest levels of fighting skill...
...after my first draft and a lesson on the Bechdel test i noticed I didnt have a female in the group....so I turned the silent samurai character into a female....and one of my female classmates disliked how the only female character didnt speak any lines.
sometimes you are damned if you do and damned if you don't

"Michael Shannon: "I get my evil from Satan. I drink it. It hurts. But then I take some Pepto and the pain goes away."

But also very scary at the same time

Love that gif of Christian Bale lol.

I remember thinking TDK looked like an exceptional comic book movie. But MOS looks like a dream come true for fans.

I think TDK will STILL have the best superhero villain, because the Joker is arguably the best villain in comics. But MOS looks like it could be a more well-rounded story (don't gang up on me guys), focusing on Clark, his upbringing, his past, his world, and and the world beyond. And the suit is DC's BEST suit, bar none.

Welcome to the Hype.

Creepy Jesus. lol

 

[Son of Coul]

Boy Crowe sounds pretentious.

He really is. Like him writing off playing Wolverine because, "(scoffs with a smile) it's a cartoon. I'm not really into those." Guess he changed his tune.

Also I haven't been keeping up too much with this movie but it looks goddamned awesome. The 3-minute trailer especially excited me.

Question: Do we know how they're gonna tackle the often discussed "glasses-disguise" thing? Like are they playing it straight and just going with it or making it like a Thor dealie? I'd be good with any approach really, I'm fine with buying into that.

 

[TheFlamingCoco]

^ Crowe has always been kind of gruff and arrogant seeming. When I can buy him being nice, that's a sign of his acting ability

#RussellCrowe young, baby Superman pooped on him during filming of a key scene. Admits as father, he's good with a nappy. #ManofSteel

Henry Cavill won't answer the #beard question of the year: How does Superman shave? Internet debate rages. #ManofSteel, #beardmystery

OMG

 

[TheFlamingCoco]

^ I just think of an "angry" Conan regarding this, lol. If we never see it, I'm fine. Though seeing him using heat vision on a mirror would be SO much fun.

Me too! He's gonna be pissed! I wonder if the film will actually address this mother of all mysteries.

 

[Klidokrator]

Yep. And the movie could otherwise be extremely negative towards women otherwise, but as long as it has one scene with no men or discussion of men, it passes.

How's that possible when a large majority of women feed on Sex and the City and Twilight is beyond me...
