I recently started rewatching it. You're right that a lot of it hasn't aged well (among the things that stood our for me today was the surprising undercurrent of sexism that I must confess I never noticed when I watched it the first time around), but there are other parts about it that are amazingly prescient (I was…

You don't disrespect us with your inability to enjoy the brilliance of Barry Lyndon, Alex, but you do demonstrate your lack of appreciation for the brilliance of the film's critique of greed and social class. If you need to criticize a Kubrick film, focus your derision on Lolita which wastes the talents of three great…

I love how Nick Wanserski made an image that is better than any film attached to this project could ever be.

Why has nobody made the obligatory "sharks with frickin' laser beams" comment yet?

I guess I was more open to it because of my recent contact with the DCEU; I recently watched Batman: The Dark Knight Returns and just read the first volume of Injustice: Gods Among Us a couple of weeks ago. I didn't appreciate until now just how that combination primed my receptivity to Snyder's interpretation of the…

No, he mentioned that to Alfred while he was flying over Doomsday.

It's more than implied; it's presented by the restaging of the killing of his parents two scenes before we see Bruce Wayne racing though Metropolis. If it had been more obvious it would have been just more grist for the whole "Snyder isn't subtle" mill.

Names were rationed back then because of the war.

Is Snyder capable of being subtle enough to be secret?

Thanks a lot, asshole. There's no way that my mind cannot unsee that image — like ever.

Exactly. It was more like Extreme NASCAR.

They did, but then The Incredibles wasn't setting them up to be introduced in a big-budget sequel due to be released the following year.

That comment about the 1% chance was about Bruce justifying his actions to Alfred, who was arguing that Superman wasn't the threat Bruce was making him out to be. But the moment where he decides to destroy Superman comes when he's cradling the kid in the Metropolis rubble staring angrily at the sky. He's not doing it…

Superman is kind of pitiful in this movie. He's trying to do his best to save everyone, yet he mopes over the lack of gratitude.

He's integral in the same way that the Tesseract is integral to the first Captain America movie.

The floating dirt suggests that they won't.

Thanos doesn't really want the Infinity Stones; he's just sending these loser aliens who keep bugging him out on contrived snipe hunts.

What do you think turned Zod into Doomsday?

Agree completely. That was not so much chaotic as it was incoherent,

Yeah, I bet that bomb threat made the evening news that day, too,
