Batman V: Superman Dawn of Justice

[epilogue]

You know, Jorge, they

Spoiler: show

overdid the constantly saving Lois shtick in MoS, too. I'm super bummed that they didn't fix that this time around. That sucks.

Does Superman kill again?

Does Superman kill again?

Something about that question and McP's avatar has me laughing.

Does Superman kill again?

Big spoilers

Spoiler: show

He kills Doomsday, and consequently himself. That's it. Some people are speculating that he kills a man early in the movie, but it is actually explicitly stated that he doesn't.

Yessssss, Armond White just dropped his rave review (as I expected he would). I'm almost as excited to read his review as I am to see the movie.

I haven't read it yet. I wanna see the movie first.

having not seen the movie but having read a ton of reviews he is the first critic ive seen argue thar snyder actually nails the themes he was aiming for. but he is wrong on the nolan stuff and is such an insufferable asshole in his writing. he will adore snyder's fountainhead, i have ni doubt.

I already agree with him

right now my only incentive to see this is to be able to talk about it on RM

I only skimmed the review to avoid spoilers but he was pretty off on Snyder having superheroes fight as somehow being different since its a long established comic book troupe that when two heroes meet there is a misunderstanding...they fight...realize they are on the same side...then team up to fight the real villain. Its comics 101. It's such a cliche it sets eyes rolling. It's the perfunctory issue you have to get through to get to the real story. Then saying Nolan's Batman was enjoyed because it matches the comics is even farther off. Its the opposite really.

Whenever there's active promotion on the part of somebody else, whenever I see somebody all dolled up for a fancy photograph and someone's handing out flyers or whenever there's active promotion for something like that, as an imposition on my day, I hate all those people and I want them to fail. I have a visceral reaction to advertising and promotion. There's just something about salesmanship that grates on me on a very base level and I react very negatively towards it. I want those people to suffer and I want their enterprises to fail.

[Jorge]

He shouldn't be sad. The movie will be massively successful regardless, and pretty much every review has singled him out as a highlight.

He mostly looks tired.

I know this sounds super negative and presumptive

Well at least Affleck didn't kill anyone like the guys in STP killed Scott Weiland right?
