Here, 45 minutes well spent:

Yeah, but is it still vanilla cake when you add chocolate to it. Oh, and lets make it a pudding instead of a cake. You know, lets skip that whole desert thing and make it an appetizer. Oh, and instead of flour, lets use cement so we can leave it out in the rain. When you change it so...

The thing is? Why not both. Consider the last couple of episodes of Supergirl: she beats the Mind Control Machine not through force of arms or punching someone until they stop moving - but through hope and inspiration. And when she failed to save that Red Shirt who wasn't James and Winn, it...

He didn't even try. Hell, he punched a dude into the same Ihop that he just had everyone hide in. Superman would have found a way. That's what he does.

Let’s compare Superman in Man of Steel to Captain America. Captain America acknowledges that lives will be lost in wars; he’s not an idiot. But he does everything in his power to be a shield for the people, even at the cost of his own body. He actively goes after civilians in danger. In Man of...

But that's not an attack. Superman and batman don't casually kill people (like blasting that terrorist through a brick wall at the speed of sound) and thinking that is how superman and batman behave clearly shows that they know what makes the character that character. It would be like saying...

Well, that extremely well thought out and well reasoned rebuttal shuts my argument down cold. Congratulations, sir and/or madam.

You don't actually have a clue about Batman's character do you. Joker, for example, has always tried to break Batman psychologically. He would give him choices where any choice would mean certain death for someone or if Joker gets caught, he would always propose to Batman that he could kill...

The real test is if the shitty reviews and word of mouth, and the lower than anticipated box office spill over into Suicide Squad. Batmanslaughter vs Space Jesus might have made it's money back (just), but did it damage the franchise?

BoxOfficeMojo now reports that Batman v Superman earned $15.35 million on Friday, which amounts to an 81% drop from the previous Friday. Yikes. It's too late to stop Wonder Woman and Suicide Squad, but it doesn't look good for the franchise beyond that.

So you need to see something to discuss it? I've got pretty solid evidence - from Rob Bricken's breakdown, to Movie Bob to the Midnight Movies on Cinemasnob, to terrible trailers to Man of Steel being an industrial sized piece of shit - that this movie will send me into a rage. I don't need to...

The best Oh Snap I've read about this thing: It makes me suspicious when you say nice things about the movie. Sorry, because the scene where Batman, Superman and Wonder Woman team up to fight Doomsday is like a window into a completely different movie—a fun, cool, entertaining movie where DC’s...

Since I didnt want to discuss the wrong movie in the Lego Batman trailer, I'll move this here: Nope, and I shan't. You can blame the 29% rotten tomatoes rating, the awful trailers, and the complete fucking disaster that was Man of Steel for that.

The only problem with killing superman is that there's no build up to it. Consider, for a second, the original Death of Superman storyline back in the 90's (side note, christ, has it been that long?) In the comics, we had a world where Superman had made a strong, positive impact for decades -...

And now, the exact moment that Affleck realized he was in a terrible movie:

I found this snippet of an interview with Deborah and Zack Snyder promise that the Justice League will have a lighter tone than Batman v Superman, mainly because of the presence of the Flash: Deborah Snyder: Justice League’ is a little bit lighter, ‘cause some of these characters — you know...

My prediction is that it will have a huge opening before word of mouth kills it stone dead, with the final box office being underwhelming (AKA not Avengers/Star Wars/Deadpool scale money) causing a lot of Warner Suits to panic and second guess their stance that Batman was a guaranteed moneymaker...

Disown him. That is the only clear choice here. Sorry about that. Since I have zero fucks to give about this movie, I didn't even think about the spoiler to content ratio. My bad.

Aaaaand it's gone down to 32 percent. Still, it's way better than the 9% of FantFourStic or Catwoman, so that's a win I guess.

Movie Bob doesn't like it: He REALLY doesn't like it

And yet again proving that Snyder's not-great-but-not-too-terrible remake of Dawn of the Dead was a total fluke. Well, looks like I'll be catching this when I can check it out from the library - there is NO way I am putting some scratch into the Opening Weekend Boxoffice totals.

Didnt change superman? Yea, I'm not really seeing Snyderman doing something so. . . human.

Not down with the Dawn of the Dead remake? Of everything I've seen of Snyders, that was probably the best. Mind you, it's not nearly as good as the original, and it inflicted Fast Zombies on us, but I thought it was a pretty solid flick. Of course everything I've seen from him after that...

So why are Wonder Woman, Superman and Batman fighting The Thing?

I had always head Tron spoken of as a bomb on release before eventually coming into its own as a cult classic.

Hey, I cant let this slander go unchallenged. Oh sure, your Big Budget studio movies like Tron and the Black Hole were financial flops, but the B-Movie industry did nicely making a couple million here or there. Roger Corman was very successful at shamelessly ripping off Star Wars and turning a...

Dear Snyder - Eat a bag of shit. Man of Steel was terrible, where Ant Man was fun. Also: No, Blank Man came out in 1994. Do try and keep up (Also, a better movie than Man of Fail)

No drama potential in a inherently good person saving people? Well, allow me to retort: No character development potential? Go check out Legacy parts one and two that tells the same story that Snyder seems to be trying to tell - but much more succinctly while remaining true to the character...

That's fine. Then why didn't Superman kill Zod straight away and save the city from getting thrashed in their prolonged dustup? What you see as "keeping a character in a tiny box" I see as being true to the character. If you're going to change a character so fundamentally, why bother calling...

I think MOS was too grim of a story for a lighter character like Superman but making Supes basically all powerful is equally wrong just in a different way. If he can save everyone and defeat anyone all the time, there's no drama. DC Comics realized that about 30 years ago and tried to power him...
