Wait, stop and think about your own simile here: are you saying that a straw placed into a glass of cola (high pressure) results in the cola spontaneously spewing out into the air at the top of the straw (low pressure)? It just doesn't work that way. If the tube is vented at both ends, the distribution of material…

Exactly. And Snyder is well known for great action and impressive visuals, but not so much for the rest of what makes a film great. You gotta have it all in order to be really good.

I have exactly the opposite problem—prosthetics are usually too stiff and unnatural for me to buy into them. Modern mo-cap CG can be much more expressive and natural in its movement, to me, and I have an easier time buying into it. For example, in Avatar, it took me all of about 2 minutes to completely forget that…

I recently saw the trailer for MIB3 before Tin Tin; I have to say, when Will Smith first approaches Brolin's K, and Brolin looks at him stone-faced and says "how d'you know my name?"... it was *uncanny*. Brolin nailed Tommy Lee Jones right on the mark, so well it was almost scary. Only one line, but really, really…

It's exaggeration. You take the things about women that appeal to the hardwired male lizard-brain (small waist, long legs, large bust, full lips, big eyes, etc.) and exaggerate the heck out of them... the end result might not look truly human anymore, but it still provokes that primal, instinctive response (and…

Hey, c'mon, now... It *could* be good. Odds aren't in its favor, no, but it's possible (a few things in the SW franchise have been good before, just mostly not anything recent...)

Yes, but pee and blood are not as gross as diarrhea. Just sayin'. All sex is kinda' gross when you step back an look at it objectively, but some sex acts are just a lot grosser than others (2 girls 1 cup, amirite?)

True, but as the article notes, it apparently had to carry the budget of previous, aborted Superman remakes. In that sense, I bet the actual Bryan Singer film's production was probably far less than the reported $270 million, and I bet it made at least double it's personal production cost—just not double the total,…

Uh... water ice is EVERYWHERE, even in huge ice-crystal clouds which would only require a scoop to harvest.

"Has there ever been an alien invasion movie where it turns the aliens are just doing it cause they're dicks?"

Or, possibly, it doesn't "spoil" the experience for them. Or, possibly, the fact that 90% of everything is crap—even if the commercials make it look awesome—means that people want to do some research before they pay for something that is 90% likely to be crap.

But that's exactly the problem: it takes most of a season to really "get good" by which time it's already been canceled because it didn't get killer ratings right out of the gate.

It's everywhere—but yes, it's worst in discs (blu, DVD, whatever). I always feel like the 5.1 audio is dropping out channels instead of mixing them when played over stereo speakers.

Nah, cynics would just say "put any old crap on the screen, people will pay for it anyway because people are all idiots." ;-)

I always assumed it was a rights issue, but maybe I'm wrong on that.

Wait, seriously? You're going to complain about a lack of spoiler warnings on a promotional video about the movie?

It better. Not only for the sake of realism/suspension of disbelief and paying attention to details, but also because it's a no-brainer from the standpoint of action-scene visuals (i.e. it would look a lot cooler than NOT having any visible wash effects would.)

"That's also double the size of the Batwing"

I don't agree on #1. I think she's sort of like the Pirate Bay guys—she breaks the law out of a grievance borne of perceived injustice. She does it to punish the greedy rich (or more to the point, that's how she justifies her own greed to herself—and she's done it so much that she's started to buy into her own…

Let's just say that when you go into mislead by advertising that didn't even hint at the silliness of it all, you come out extremely, indelibly disappointed. It would be like going to see The Fellowship of the Ring, with all the expectations inherent in that, and instead getting Your Highness.
