Zack Snyder's Justice League

I will lol if new WB announces that they are restoring the Snyderverse lol

Don’t think that can’t happen.

 

[ironwez20]

Not happening.

Well, if the actual numbers that WB seems to be hiding are good, the new guy (who has no allegiances either way) might tell everybody to bugger off and go for a quick win with the Snyderverse. If the numbers are good. After all, streaming is all about original content, and the Snyderverse can be a very nice way to jump-start your original content.
Buuuut... who knows. The numbers would have to be really good.

If Toby Emmerich is out which might be the case there is a chance.

Sometimes you just have to take matters into your own hands...

Dirty Jackson and Filthy Johansson - the sequel

Dirty Jackson is assigned a new partner -- a feisty woman with a bad attitude -- and spends most of the movie insulting and shaming her while on the trail of a white supremacist gang who has put out a million dollar bounty on Jackson's head.

This time its personal.

Love it. I am sure he would fix everything wrong in her life with his *****. Would fit right in with 70's movies for sure.

I think the message is there, and the genre of the film fits to serve that message. I just think the message and story are both intertwined heavily and both are pretty simple. So it comes down whether you like it or not.

Ideas are a dime a dozen. The ability to execute them separates great artists from hacks, dilettantes and mediocre talents. Myself and many others are of the opinion that Snyder very often fails to execute, and what ensues is an after-the-fact explanation of his message or fans filling in the blanks. The latter strikes me as indicative of lazy or incomplete narrative. I find your reading of the film overly generous, but as that's a matter of opinion (you said as much above) I won't attempt to dissuade you.

As he's already said, both genre in film/animation and comics use women in sexually aesthetisized manners. Many women and girls go dressed to cons as these very characters also. But what the film does I think rather clearly in costume and in autonomy is reconcile that it doesn't have to be at the behest and benefit for men solely to enjoy, as in to view women dressed in revealing outfits or for their entertainment.

As I said in a previous post, these are fine distinctions and there's no issue with the outfits in isolation. Most of the women I know enjoy sex, pornography, titillating outfits, looking at attractive women, men, whatever. You can argue that there's nothing exploitative about Suckerpunch, but the fact remains the film's creator is a man and the protagonist's fate is martyrdom, and that, along with a few other aspects of the work, leave it exposed to a certain type of criticism. I acknowledge she's a hero and sometimes a hero's personal fate is bleak, but in a socio-political context a lot of these readings hinge on power or the perception thereof. I don't think this means that men can't tell women's stories and vice versa, but I do think in some cases power dynamics are going to raise some pointed questions, especially when clumsily sketched out by someone like Snyder, whose visual sensibility far outstrips his capacity for storytelling with subtlety and clarity.

Also I don't quite think the overall message was martydom, I think it was more along the lines of the true meaning of existentialism, as in its purest form, you are in control of yourself, regardless of the situation you find yourself in you have the choice and freedom to choose. No matter the outcome it's yourself who must take control of your situation - manifested in this film as to use their situation in an unexpected way to escape from the hospital. The end result is just an unfortunate byproduct of what happens to many women who try to do the same thing, abuse or murder, it isn't the film saying look if you try to do something this is what's going to happen to you, it's saying you've got the power to do something - which is pretty much the definition of empowerment.

I get the Stoic angle, as I've said before our boy's not subtle -- I just don't think he stuck the landing. When I have some time to kill this weekend I'll watch it again and see.

A good death is its own reward.

Ah, Faora-Ul. Another reason to watch the German Netflix series Dark. That actress plays a hot muff diver in the show. I'll never look at my Faora action figure the same way again.

Carrie Ann Moss played a hot muff muncher in DD

I'll take Antje Traue over Carrie-Anne, thank you very much. Less years & less mileage.

I don't think Quint is the man in the boat she's targeting.

Hook me up another barrel!

Holy crap, lol.

"I used to hate queen sized beds."

"I can't imagine why," lol.

 

[jye4ever]

Snyder just said it would have been cool to have nudity in ZSJL lol

Oh Zach you so wacky

 

[Wor-Gar]

That's creepy, is that a young girl she's eating? What movie is that, for research purposes?

Nah, it's another middle aged woman.
It's the Dark (Dunkel) Netflix series.

 

[Wor-Gar]

Why are there so many 1950's middle-aged women lesbian stories?

Father may know best but he clearly didn't know everything...

 

[The Buffinator]

Why are there so many 1950's middle-aged women lesbian stories?

Apparently a lot of people found the diaries of their sexually unsatisfied mothers from that era lol....
