The Dark Knight Rises You Have My Permission To Lounge - Part 4

[Tacit Ronin]

I kinda miss craigdbfan, wanted to know what he thinks of the movie, and of Jai Courtney's role in it.

Was he banned?

 

[Spider-Aziz]

Was he banned?

Yeah.
I think it's been a month since he got banned.

 

[Tacit Ronin]

I'm not surprised. Have you seen his borderline white supremacist rants on the political boards?

He lost his mod status swiftly and it was a matter of time before he got banned.

 

[Spider-Aziz]

I posted there for a while, his attitude and everyone's response was hard to miss.

 

[BatLobster]

It's too bad. I used to really find him to be a pretty like-minded guy when it came to geek stuff on this forum.

Then he decided to let his crazy flag fly with all the Trump stuff. I can only wonder what he actually said that got him banned though.

 

[Chip Chipperson]

Wow, craigdbfan was banned?

From mod to banned, talk about a free fall. Sad!

 

[The Joker]

Yeah, it appears to have terrible legs.

It does. Its already had a sharp drop for Saturday;

I'm not surprised. Have you seen his borderline white supremacist rants on the political boards?

He lost his mod status swiftly and it was a matter of time before he got banned.

I never even knew any of this about him. I know him from way back when on the Spider-Man forums. He was always a decent sort. I had no idea he had been stripped of his Mod status let alone banned.

That must be a new record here.

 

[Tacit Ronin]

Fanboys are already blaming the Olympics for the drops.

 

[Spider-Aziz]

Let's blame world cup for Guardians of the Galaxy not reaching $1 billion 2 years ago.

 

[Tacit Ronin]

Only DC can be victims though.

 

[Spider-Aziz]

Everyone conspires against DC.

 

[Penguin]

With all the paranoia, I can’t help but imagine DC as some paranoid schizophrenic thinking people are listening to them through their toilet. It’s a charming, positive thing to think about considering all the recent duds.

 

[DACrowe]

Yeah, it appears to have terrible legs.

Yep. As of Saturday morning I saw expectations of it grossing between $140 and $145. Now it is at $135 and could finish even below that. While it has a better CinemaScore than BvS (B+ vs. B), it is ranking about the same as BvS for those over the age of 25.

The good news is that making over $700 million is a win for this film. BvS was aiming for a billion. So, I think Warners can breathe easy and feel some relief.

 

[Chip Chipperson]

Everyone conspires against DC.

that's right. It has absolutely nothing to do with them:

- rushing to create an already established cinematic universe

- claiming they're director friendly and then proceed to butcher the cut of the final product

- deconstructing their most popular villains and creating contemporary versions that both miss the mark and fall flat in every possible way imaginable

FIGHT CLUB BATTLE: WHICH 'BATMAN & OTHER PERSON' MOVIE IS WORSE?

that's right. It has absolutely nothing to do with them:

- rushing to create an already established cinematic universe

- claiming they're director friendly and then proceed to butcher the cut of the final product

- deconstructing their most popular villains and creating contemporary versions that both miss the mark and fall flat in every possible way imaginable

The level of genius is undeniable, it's too smart for my headphones to understand.
But you love your movies about a guy in red and black skin tight outfit who talks to the camera more. HA HA HA, go enjoy that.

 

[Tacit Ronin]

They decontructed their most iconic heroes.....without constructing then in the first place. Only Snyder can be this dumb.

You can say TDK deconstructed some of Batman's character, but he was constructed in BB first. Civil War deconstructed Cap and the MCU, but they constructed it first.

 

[Spider-Aziz]

The airport fight is both amazing and disappointing in Civil War, both teams destroyed property in that airport.

[Spider-Aziz]

All the conspiracy against DC made me start my own hashtag movement:

[AnneFan]

Fanboys are already blaming the Olympics for the drops.

Nope. They saw that I disliked the movie and listened.

 

[Chip Chipperson]

I just realized that BvS and Suicide Squad will probably be competing against each other for Razzies this year

SNYDER VS AYER

LETO VS EISENBERG

FIGHT NIGHT

 

[I Am The Knight]

I just realized that BvS and Suicide Squad will probably be competing against each other for Razzies this year

SNYDER VS AYER

JOKER VS JOKER

FIGHT NIGHT

Fixed.

 

[Chip Chipperson]

I thought Eisenberg was playing Edward Nygma?

 

[Tacit Ronin]

So, I finally scratched and clawed through The Ultimate Cut.

............that was it? That was what the big deal was about? It's a bit more coherent I suppose. And Clark has a bit more to do. But it's a coherently bad move; instead of an incoherent one. It still sucks. But now you gotta endure the suckage longer.

It actually made a key scene at the end worse than the one in the theatrical cut.

The best moment in the new cut was that shot of the two dudes kissing as Clark passes by.

Laaaame.

 

[A Necessary Evil]

I know this isn't a popular opinion around here, but SS made me appreciate BvS all the more.

It made me hate BvS more, hilariously enough lol.
