BvS Henry Cavill IS Superman - Part 1

[slumcat]

Poppycock, if that were true then the whole marketing campaign would have featured at least one still of Cavill shirtless.

They didn't need to. 20 months before the film even released, there were hundreds and hundreds of shirtless photos from the shooting of the oil rig sequence which were all very widely circulated on the internet and as there were no official stills released till a month or so before the official release date, were used with any and any and every MOS article for nearly two years. Some of these pics, mind, were released by the studio itself as paparazzie pics.

Then there was the big final epic 3 minute trailer that was before every movie for 2 months. The movie has two shirtless scenes and the trailer featured both of them.

And then of course they released that training feaurette which featured Cavill working out shirtless.

So it was definitely used for promoting the film. And extensively.

I know, I just wanted to reiterate it cause I mean it's so obvious and makes me question the level of Snyder's appreciation for the male form.

I think we know

Push those mannaries!

 

[MrsKent26]

OMG. That's hilarious to me for some reason. Maybe it's the word "mannaries."

 

[MrMaooz]

^Snyder wants to touch those man titays!

 

[I SEE SPIDEY]

Why wouldn't you want to touch Cavill's chest?

Is that Kevin Smith interview fan questions thing on Youtube yet?

 

[MrMaooz]

It might be but I'll tell you that it's really awkward a lot of the times.

Here it is.

I watched a little of it live. Of course it was awkward, Snyder and Cavill are the kings of awkward.

EDIT: Thanks for finding it for me Maooz.

 

[MrMaooz]

The questions submitted were awkward too.

 

[Lily Adler]

You guys obviously forgot the magic bullet scene filming where we see Zack showing Henry where the bullet hits Superman starting with his chest then bounces off down to his abs then ricochets to up his biceps and down to the buttocks before landing on his crotch and then up through his hair and lips then back to his chest, with Zack's hand taking the place of the bullet of course.

 

[MrsKent26]

Cavill is such a dork sometimes. Look at his waving here. So dorky. I like that about him though. Very Clark Kent.

This made me gag. Lol. I would pay to see that sort of um... "direction".

That sounds like a dream I had.

I like that, Libido.

I don't know. At that moment I could clearly tell he wanted to get the f**k out of the event.

Maybe Kevin Smith's Fanboying freaked him out.

 

[slumcat]

I think everyone did. Amy Adams looked half embarrassed to be there. And Kevin Smith told her the best acting he has ever seen from her is that scream in MOS or whatever. And she's like... I just received an Oscar nomination for acting in a Paul Thomas Anderson film and you think that scream in MOS is the best acting of my career? Well now I know how this 'interview' is gonna go down.

 

[Tra-El]

The questions submitted were awkward too.

Things were awkward only because they threw this entire feed together at the last minute. Even Kevin Smith admitted that he wasn't sure he was going to do it until he decided on it and LIVE makes for interesting setups. Plus, they had Cavill in London on a delay and just sitting there. There was only a few fan questions. It was never going to be smooth. Only 3 in the room. 1 woman between two men and HC not even in the room to complete the comfort. Plus, KS is a fanboy but pulled it off IMHO. Again, I enjoyed it.

He pissed me off a lot.

Yeah, Amy wanted out. She was all like WTF? when Smith wouldn't shut up. Things also got awkward when that kid asked the kissing question.

The one hour event somehow became entirely about Kevin Smith and what he thought and what he had to say and not about MOS or its director or its stars or its fans.

 

[I SEE SPIDEY]

Maybe Kevin Smith's Fanboying freaked him out.

Smith fanboying freaked out Chris Evans on Leno as well. I find him to be annoying but I like that he defended Man of Steel on the little part I watched.

 

[slumcat]

Kevin Smith is best friends with Ben Affleck! What is the universe trying to tell me???

 

[MrMaooz]

Kevin also said he was blazed when watching MOS at 3 in the morning.

Isn't he always blazed? Seriously Smith is so unabashedly nerdy that it even gets on my nerdy ass nerves.

Now I've got to have a bullet grazing scene to Batman! Watch your pecks, Affleck! I'm coming for you!

 

[MydnightPhoenix]

Or maybe they could have done simply a full body shot. Like below.
(I combined the images in photoshop to make a full composite).
That way they could show his face and abs together and it won't just be an abs shot.

A full body shot would have been good as well, again I don't have a problem with abs of a sexy man, I just think the camera panning down made it turn from a movie to a man flexing while "Im To Sexy" plays in the background.
