Sure. The master of body horror is usually consider to be David Cronenberg who is one of my all time favorite directors, some of his most famous are Videodrome and The Fly. His son work (Brandon Cronenberg) Possessor, Infinity Pool are also of my liking.
When it comes to cosmic horror John Carpenter's In the Mouth of Madness is probably one of my favorites also love History Of the Occult and The Void, since i mentioned Carpenter The Thing is also another favorite horror for me. When it comes to psychological horror i like a film like the 90s Jacobs Ladder and when it comes to supernatural horror i like an approach like the one of Kubrick in The Shining or Flanagan in Doctor Sleep. Another recent horror films i liked were Pearl, Barbarian and The Black Phone.

#

oh The Lighthouse is not that recent but that one is also a favorite... Eggers is great The VVitch is very good, also like Ari Aster (Hereditary, Midsommar) from that A24 group of directors.

Oh.

#

It's weird that robin's only theatrical outings in a batman film are the Schumacher films

#

I'm not surprised like Robin in comics is a child and you can't have that kind of stuff in movies. I think any new Robin would be a adult.

Yes

#

Also, have you seen Kick-ass?

#

Kids murder people.

rigid hawk
#

Ya but that's a spoof movie.. it is not as serious as a Batman movie and I think Batman will be quite a serious character in Brave and the bold.

dull hill
#

Right.

rigid hawk
#

BTW.. the Robin in Brave and the bold is going to be Damien Wayne I think

dull hill
#

Oho. Sweet.

#

Is this Brave and the Bold gonna be fashioned after the silver age comics?

rigid hawk
#

No idea about that, I assume they will look into a lot of things

#

It won't be as serous as Reeves The Batman though.. hopefully there will be a balance.

Man. Another actor for Batman.

We're getting new Batmen quicker now.

Tell me that doesen't look like Bruce Wayne.

The question is can he act well enough to carry a movie or not and I don't have any idea about that.

should check out the Undisputed flicks.

and before you ask, he can adopt an american accent and a low ton of voice.

I just wanna know right now.

Is Henry Cavill's Superman in this one?

pallid onyx
#

in CGI form yes

quiet lotus
#

no lines though

sullen galleon
pallid onyx
#

i dont see harm in watching if you do but at the same time there's really nothing of value being missed

#

It bastardized 89 Batman, is unsatisfying if you like the Snyderverse, makes gross use of dead actors in unnecessary cameos, its just a mess

sullen galleon
#

...Yeah, I think I can live without seeing it, then. Lol

pallid onyx
#

and above all it fails to do anything compelling with the titular Flash not done better elsewhere. It's an afterthought so WB can just do a memberberry showcase

sullen galleon
#

They're better off just continuing the Snyderverse like they should have been since the re-release of Justice League.

pallid onyx
#

It's like it actively resents having to also be a Flash movie given how little focus is even given to Flash as being the focus of the film. Instead of thinking "oh which former Flash actors can we bring in for a spot"? its like "oh we can CG George Reeves Superman in here!"

sullen galleon
#

What the runtime?

#

How long is the movie?

pallid onyx
#

144 mins

sullen galleon
#

I'm bad at math. Is that at least two hours?

pallid onyx
#

2 hours, 20 minutes

sullen galleon
#

That actually doesn't sound too bad. I thought I was going to be disappointed.

#

I just really wish they didn't scrap the Snyderverse. It really could have been mended with the right creative choices.

pallid onyx
#

at this point I found it just made more sense to start fresh. It could've navigated some form of salvaging but that iteration of things was just so marred in intensely mixed reviews and chronic production fuckery it just became an albatross

quiet lotus
#

I always knew from the fact they were basically doing Flashpoint that it was going to act as a clean slate for DC.

#

Its why they continued to push the release

sullen galleon
#

They also have to be really careful and more selective with who they cast.

#

It's bad enough that Ezra Miller turned out to be a psycho, but it's even worse with Amber Heard.

#

She's purely and simply deranged.

quiet lotus
#

I'm just bitter on Henry Cavill's behalf

sullen galleon
#

Oh God, I can't.

pallid onyx
#

yeah he really got jerked around

sullen galleon
#

How they handled him.

#

It's disgusting.

#

He's the best Superman, period.

quiet lotus
#

Like, he quit Witcher (where the production seemed to actively hate how enthusiastic he was) to play Superman again, only to be fired from that too

sullen galleon
#

Was that because of Black Adam's failure?

#

Black Adam was also really awesome, too.

quiet lotus
#

Nope, it's because Gunn kind of hates him, I think

sullen galleon
#

Gunn?

quiet lotus
#

James Gunn

sullen galleon
#

More like Gunn control.

#

bu-dum tiss

#

Yeah, James Gunn should just stick with Marvel.

pallid onyx
#

idk if Gunn hates him its more he was asked tow rite a new take, the Black Adam team decided to bring Cavill back in, WB restructured and handed things to Gunn/Safran with Gunn's new take and he had the unfortunate job to go "yeah srry but that aint happening"

quiet lotus
#

the fact is, his Suicide Squad was wildly successful (and a fun film), and WB was all, 'yeah, we need more of that'

pallid onyx
#

its why i don't get why people jump down the throats of the likes of Gunn or Snyder or whoever when much of the overall problems with DCEU came down to awful WB decisions flailling wanting to compete with Marvel instead of just making sure their own thing worked

quiet lotus
#

oh yeah, WB is a total cluster

sullen galleon
#

So it's not even Gunn's fault. It's the rich and greedy executives that always try to suck the art and vision from the films dry just for an extra penny.

quiet lotus
#

they didn't want to put in the work to make their own MCU with the DCU, so they rushed into Justice League, or whatever, and it was total mess

#

Though, I've only seen Man of Steel, the two Wonder Womans, Shazams and Aquaman

#

I will say that about Flash, you only need to have seen Man of Steel to understand it

pallid onyx
#

Man of Steel had the exact same issues imo that The Amazing Spider-Man had. The studio panicked at the sortve "its fine but ehh" reception and seeing Avengers succeed so they decide "right, the next movie is setting our own universe up, so this needs to be in and this and this and this" and as a result you got a cluster of things setting up other shit meanwhile not focusing on improving the issues the prior film faltered resulting in a unfocused and set in stone depiction of the characters

quiet lotus
#

like, I'm not even a Superman fan, but Man of Steel was so crap that I wrote a 1000 word review of it

#

cool soundtrack though

pallid onyx
#

its funny because i did like Man of Steel but hated the rest of Snyderverse.

#

i didnt love MOS but my overall experience was like 6/10

#

same with TASM, it was "this could've been a shaky start to something that could've been pretty good", but the studio had to do Justice League RIGHT NOW and not gradually introduce elements

quiet lotus
#

It made me angry how they so fundamentally misunderstood the character. Like, Whedon and Captain America.

#

the dude had no clue about Steve

#

I still really like the first Wonder Woman and Shazam

pallid onyx
#

In hindsight it feels my opine that Whedon was always very overrated came to fruition because it feels like the only character trait he knows is snarky

quiet lotus
#

that is 100% true.

pallid onyx
#

i liked Buffy but i never loved it, I never found merit in agreeing its one of the great shows ever made

quiet lotus
#

gonna have to disagree with you there, but Buffy was very formative for me.

#

though I'm not going to defend anything past season 5

#

and really, only the first 3 seasons are the best ones

pallid onyx
#

there were plenty of great episodes but also alot of kinda just okay ones. By the time I got to it I just couldn't help but find it dated

#

I find it's probably one of those films or shows one grows up with otherwise later in life they might be like "its okay but i dont get the hype"

#

im the same way on Death Note

quiet lotus
#

Buffy and Charmed were very much the shows for me

#

very early teens when they first came out, the only kind of female lead supernatural drama out there, and, as a millennial, I was extremely into witches. Still am

pallid onyx
#

I cant really remember for whatever reason what my show framework was in my early teens

#

I think I had an issue where I was aging out of cartoons but my brain was like "wtf you doing I still like those" lol

#

So I think I focused mostly on films largely, by mid teens I was mostly just watching sitcoms until I discovered I had AMC so Breaking Bad

#

Then I discovered Doctor Who so I really got into that. Think I was shaping Buffy to DW and going "oh Doctor Who does this and I find it does it better" which is a bit unfair in hindsight

quiet lotus
#

getting the sense you were born mid-90's?

Quality fluctuations are inevitable in productions forced to deliver 22 episodes per year on tight schedule, on tight budget. Those factors were ceiling in TV for decades.

It's hard to appreciate what Buffy did without context of how TV looked like in the 90s. Teen dramas were flavoured soap opera, almost nobody was doing ongoing season long narrations, and Buffy herself was wild departure from usual female protagonists

I honestly enjoyed this. Keatonā€™s Batman is fun, the action is enjoyable, and I didnā€™t hate the cgi like other people did. Didnā€™t like the CGI dead people cameos and the ending with George Clooney was kinda insulting, although I guess itā€™s fitting to end the universe in such an unsatisfying way. Iā€™m glad Muschietti seems to be getting another chance because of the chaotic production cycle but I think it should be with supergirl rather than Batman. Also I donā€™t like how the third act took place in an empty desert.

#

the rest of the movie quite a mess.

#

I hope DC stops with live action for a while and just let their animation department handle things for a while.

rigid hawk
#

I disagree with that totally. Under a new management DC can make wonderful movies and I have full trust in James Gunn. We are not getting any DC movies (unless Aquaman 2 is delayed) in 2024 and I think that's enough time for a new rebooted DC film.

I do think that DC should put some of their top tier animated movies theatrically but it has to be much better than the recent DC animated movies like Justice league warworld which wasn't good.

Nah. I think Gunn is absolutely perfect to head DC. His The suicide squad movie was incredible and so was the series Peacemaker. Of course his Guardians movies are awesome too.

And Gunn is the Head of DC studios, yes he's gonna write and direct Superman legacy but that's because the movie is just too important. He won't write and direct many other DC movies but just like Feige will have input.

#

I was always wondering who can really head DC.. Gunn and Safran are perfect fit for me and only time will tell whether they are successful or not. I for one will give them benefit of the doubt.

DCEU can't get any lower than this with all 3 of their movies this year being a total bomb at the box office. There aren't many people who can be a studio head and have Knowledge about comics and stuff, Gunn is one of them.

static dust
#

It can always get worse.
What knowledge of comics has Gunn proven to have?
Almost every head of DCā€™s films have possessed knowledge of comics, yet they all demonstrated a complete failure to understand the material they were adapting.

Gunn got away with guardians because it was a lesser known comic with a style that suits him.

When you have Gunn heading it and controlling its direction we now have to look at what his choices have been thus far.
For example heā€™s chosen to have a new Batman and Robin movie, utilising Damien Wayne.

rigid hawk
#

How can it get worse for DC when no DCEU movie since 2018 has made more than 400 million dollars??

Gunn has huge knowledge of comics stuff and btw there has never been any head of DC films because that position was never there before. It was only created recently.. DC studios.

BTW.. did you forget about the suicide squad and Peacemaker already?? And didn't you read what I said about Gunn not directing every DCU movie??

idle silo
#

If Gunn ends up understanding when or when not to bring up humor. Then I think he will do a great job with Superman Legacy, maybe not a perfect job but at least a good one.

dull hill
#

I hope Gunn's Superman is similar to the one in My Adventures.

#

Him and Lois have such a nice dynamic.

rigid hawk
#

Ya, that would be quite good actually but I think Gunn's superman will be a little bit older than My Adventures Superman but let's see.

rigid hawk
dull hill
#

One can wish.

rigid hawk
#

I am hopeful about this new DCU and Gunn has proven himself so far, at least for me.. so I'm willing to give him benefit of the doubt.

#

Superman can be a deep guy when you put into light that he's both superhuman and has a girlfriend that really wants to expose the superhuman alter ego.

tidal obsidian
#

Lois and Clark got annoying

#

But thatā€™s not shocking

#

Itā€™s basically a soap opera with Superman characters

dull hill
#

Superman winning all the time, that's annoying. Relationships are something he has no super power against, ergo, its interesting.

tidal obsidian
#

Or if you want to be cynical, itā€™s the thing that makes him less human

dull hill
#

He maybe kind, but he's also awkward, like most guys having to deal with women they're intrested in nowadays.

#

I like when he displays lack of confidence when dealing with Lois, its cute.

tidal obsidian
#

His awkwardness should come from the fact that people are always skeptical about his acts of genuine goodwill

#

Thatā€™s what made the Reeves Superman so beloved

#

My favorite line from that movie is when Superman is earnest about his motto

#

Truth, Justice and the American Way

#

And Lois mocks him

#

Itā€™s like she canā€™t believe heā€™s real

#

Especially poignant after Watergate

dull hill
tidal obsidian
# dull hill That could mean alot of things, especially the American way part.

Itā€™s portrayed as naĆÆvetĆ©. But the amazing thing is that Superman can utter things like that. He sees the good in people even when they themselves canā€™t see it. Superman knows America is terrible. That the world is rotting. But he sees past it to find the good. And we as people have grown so cold that we think thatā€™s naĆÆve.

#

Weā€™ve given up and Superman encourages us to keep trying.

dull hill
#

But i also wanna see him struggle with the normal human stuff that's beyond his grasp.

tidal obsidian
#

Itā€™s what has been missing from the character for decades

#

Because writers donā€™t understand that Superman isnā€™t supposed to be relatable

#

His unrelatability is his greatest strength

#

He is truly the best of us

#

What makes Superman compelling is when you see him contrasted with a world that is hellbent on bringing him down

dull hill
#

Him going through fatherhood is something too, imo.
