I hate to sound like an apologist for Snyder, but I get what they were going for there. The original Luthor was a classic mad scientist because that's what worked in the 40s, it was obvious villain bait. The post Crisis version was an 80s corrupt corporate lord because that fit the prevailing wisdom.

That's the funny thing. There's a lot of What Ifs and Elseworlds and whatnot (remember, after all, that Miller's Dark Knight is non-canon) that BvS drew on that fit how Batman and Superman were written, and neither character has been a consistent one since the 1930s. But none of those interpretations should've been…

I loved Man of Steel, with no reservation.

Isn't that movie based on an unpublished Frank Miller graphic novel?

I know it's fresh and exciting to hate on Snyder, but given that he's got a co-story credit behind the actual screenplay writers and fuck only knows how many script doctors, isn't this kind of a case of piling on?

The first movie I could recall dropping at a sell through price was Top Gun in 1987. That was an exception to the rule. Some concert films were affordable-I remember paying like $25 for Iron Maiden's Live After Death around the same time. I was pissed because Die Hard didn't have a sell-through price.

I have a low opinion of Hollywood's reboot/remake/sequel fever-I guess no one wants to take chances with tentpole movies with immense budgets-but that doesn't mean I won't give this movie a fair shake, given how many of the reboot/sequel/remakes of the past decade that turned out all right. I have no particular…

She's married. Kind of takes the edge off that ad.

Hey they made us look at an article about it being illegal to give someone else your corporate passwords with a headline about Netflix. Anything's newsworthy for the clicks.

Haven't seen an online ad in years thanks to Ad Block, so, yeah, clickbait doesn't work. And based on what I hear about this place's ads, whitelisting this site ain't happening.

Five minutes is long?

What the fuck does this have to do with Netflix unless you oil down the Slippery Slope for an hour?

Let's see.

I'd add Labor Day and Memorial Day to the list too. Just to give the poor guys a few more days off.

You could goal tend constantly while on fire.

That how Cookie Monster works.

Yes, usually the suspense in any sort of sporting movie comes from "will the plucky underdog win?"

Well there's a song being bought off Amazon then.

I said that earlier!

I could beat Doom at reasonable levels, but the hardest? That was always a God Mode special so I could just chainsaw down everything I could.
