But for me.......... it was Tuesday.

Yes, this. I used to be a fan of his, but after his recent string of films I’m perfectly happy to let him fuck around for his fanboys on things that I don’t actually care about.

It is 100% this.

The bigger concern, to me anyway, is that this criticism turns to outrage, which hurts the film. If the film that is trying to do representation right and falls a little short doesn’t get people paying to see it because of controversy, what’s that tell Hollywood? Not to make more of these types of movies.

Late Eastwood movies only seem to be popular or talked about when they’re very bad. Whenever he makes something genuinely interesting or good, it gets largely ignored. American Sniper is embarassingly terrible and it was a huge hit. I’ll never understand it.

Same. I enjoy the campaigns for these games, I’ve played the last few multiple times. Hard pass on just multiplayer. Plus, if you’re charging me $70 I expect a complete FPS package. If it’s just multiplayer, and you have a paid battlepass, and paid cosmetics, the game should be FTP.

Also one of the things Andromeda got right was the exploration. For all that games flaws, landing on a a new planet and just driving around to see what’s what was a whole lot of fun. I hope they keep that sort of vibe for the next game.

Just the quality of life improvements (60 fps, better lighting so I can see what’s happening, non-possessed Mako and sniper rifles) go an incredibly long way toward making the game feel more modern. I really like that they didn’t mess with the core of it too much. It’s still Mass Effect, it’s just more playable now.

I got my One X just for the performance boost, and I’m really looking forward to... buying the inevitable God of War 2 bundle whenever that comes out. I really want one, but for games that have yet to come. So I’ll just get one once the game are there.

I thought it was kind of nice. 

The subtext is actually meaningless in most of his films. It’s always either half baked or accidental. But his fans always read deep into everything, so it’s a huge problem.

As evidenced by the film itself, you literally cannot. The movie spends so much time pulling focus between things within a shot that most of the movie is actually out of focus.

Bravo! 

It was extremely bizarre, especially since it’s not typical of Snyder. His movies usually hum along pretty well. I wasn’t a huge fan of ZSJL, but I can absolutely admit it was one hell of a tight 4 hours. Army of the Dead somehow managed to feel longer than that film.

Yeah, it was a straight up Burke from Aliens plot, and very clearly shown in the movie. Weird that he didn’t catch/understand.

Exactly! From a storytelling standpoint, nothing actually happened. Nobody got the money, the daughter didn’t save her refugee friend, and everyone died except her, and all the zombies were killed no matter what because of the nuke.

It’s a typical Snyder movie, except it’s boring. Say what you want about him, but he’s never boring/uninteresting. This is just... nothing. It’s dull as hell.

I was really looking forward to this as I love Snyder’s Dawn of the Dead, but it was borderline intolerable. It’s an entire movie of unanswered questions and cool ideas that go nowhere and mean nothing. And he does all this sequel bait/cool pointless ideas stuff instead of developing the characters into people you…

I really don’t have a problem with women or men doing a stream from a hot tub that’s literally about chilling in a hot tub, but most of these streams are not.

I know we all made fun of Feige’s reaction, but I really am impressed with the locations, production design, etc. It looks like a real movie!
