It really made me think of the B:TAS episode 'Perchance to Dream' (which I'm gllad the reviewer also picked up.)

'Do we suspect there might be some kind of connection between Ben and Glory?'

Which might actually be within the rights of the filmmakers to make? (From my understanding of the rights, because alot of the backstory of Elendil and the Last Alliance is detailed in the Appendecies of LOTR they could actually make this without infringing on the rights of the Tolkien Estate.)

I said the way he treats her costume beccause it isn't just about the actual costume, but the way he chooses to shoot her in the costume. (The reveal of her in the costume with the extreme close-up of her crotch, goes beyond using the gaze to show Dan's perspective and is just a straight out example of the male-gaze.)
S

I should've also clarified- Snyder by conciously trying to re-create the comic panels as close as possible (with the major changes being his addition of hyper-violence, and increased sexualistation of Silk Spectre) made it impossible not to judge the film outside of its relationship to the source material.
(Snyder's

At least Ultron's philisophical undertones had a degree of depth to them, and weren't just surface level statements about how gods can't be trusted.
(Not claiming that Ultron is anything close to being epecially deep in its subtext and philisophical undertones…just that it had at leat moments where it tried to go

It really isn't, because Snyder didn't really seem to understand the source at all. Look at the scene of Nite-Owl and Silk Spectre being held up by muggers and beating them up (a scene Snyder highlighted as showing gritty realism recently)- it has hyperstylised, with bone crushing and over the top action that was

To be fair that script was the studio asking Nick Cave to write a sequel that brough Russell Crowe's character back to life, Nick Cave thought it was stupid to do but decided that only way to do that would be to have Crowe's character resurrected by the God of War to fight in humanities wars across the centuries.

…except unlike the Godfather, Snyder's films have huge problems with narrative structure, which won't help their reputations that much.
(Plus while they have pretty visuals, they have no subtext/ all the symbolism is very forced and on the nose, which is again not like the Godfather…where the subtext helps make the

I loved her going arch/campy here, because it fit the show-woman aspect of Roulette's character (her mannerisms and vocal inflections reminded me of how the character was portrayed on JLU.)

The thing that bothers me about McCartney and his ego, is how he tries to put on the 'I'm so modest and humble' act, but his actions always end up telling another story…I always remember one story about Glyn Johns producing a Wings album and Paul told him at the start 'I don't want you to treat me like Paul McCartney,

So the Alien Dive-bar gave me some flashbacks to Lorne's karaoke bar from Angel. (The 'aliens as illegal immigrants/ refugees' metaphor probably helped emphasise this comparison as Angel did a simillar thing with demons during the run of the show.)

My issue with medley approach was it just felt like someone jumping had their Ipod on Shuffle and was jumping between Bowie's greatest hits every 30 seconds…I appreciate why they took this approach, but I felt the Brits pulled it off by having the medley section without a vocalist (because that helped really highlight

Honestly from memory to me she only really seemed to come out as a huge Bowie fan after his death? I remember one or two pieces comparing the two (and she had talked here and there about being a fan of his music…but in a very generic way, with more emphasis put on how influential Queen & Madonna were in influencing

Honestly I feel Deathly Hallows (the one they did split into two) would have worked much better as a single LOTR length film, as the pacing for neither works as a standalone film and with only some minor edits they would flow much better as one big single film.

Definetly a solid analogy (and all things considered, despite all the schedule delays, last minute script rewrites, and occasional lapses in interrnal logic, I'm actually think all the Craig-era films hold up quite well…I do wish that Eon would take a page out of Marvel's book, and put more time into forward

…Honestly the way they struggle to make one James Bond film every 3-4 years, I don't think they could handle trying to make spin-offs as well.

…Um how about the theme from The Avengers? (Which is honestly one of the most memorable movie themes in a long while…and not mentioning it in this video straight up seems iffy.)

With Skyfall I seem to remeber there was some talk of how the song was actually finished too late for him to incorporate it into the score (which is why there is only a very brief instrumental snippet of it used…which was apparently recorded after the main recording sessions without Newman.)
The song for Spectre, on

The Opening track to Spectre I thought was actually quite strong (Day of the Dead: with the Mexican influence, combined with the subtle rise of the Bond theme that played very well in the film over the shot of Craig casually walking across the rooftop…it's a shame that that was probably the only really Bond-esque
