Warner Bros. announced that the Justice League movie will be directed by Zack Snyder

Why? Whyyyyyyy? I'm not even that invested in a Justice League movie, but still!

Sociopathic fathers and neck snaps for everyone!

Possibly a lobotomy or two...

I want to marry Mallory Ortberg's review of Dracula Untold:

If you think that you are too good for a movie where a man turns into very many bats and then punches a lot of guys with his giant bat-fists, then I don’t know what you’re doing on this website or in my life.

Come to Netflix, terrible movie. Come to Netflix where I can watch you for free while drinking wine on my couch.

That review was funny! I cannot wait for Dracula Untold. It will be ridiculous. I will even see it in the theater, for the full effect of the turning into many bats. Luke Evans sold me on it when he was on Graham Norton Show, because his teeth are fangy looking and he thought that was why they casted him (but it wasn't). He's funny.

He was fun, as so many actors end up being when you wouldn't expect it.

I love Graham Norton. He sits actors down next to each other, and sometimes they know each other and sometimes they don't, puts a glass of wine on front of them, and chats about random stuff, and what happens happens. I don't know another chat show that has the actors engaging with each other as much as with the host. Many actors are unexpectedly funny, and raunchy, too.

I've discovered some really interesting bands/performers I probably wouldn't have on GN as well. Some of them turn out to be hysterically funny as well.

So instead of getting a root canal Will and I sent to see Fury. He really wanted to see it becuase it's a WWII about TANKS! And there aren't enough of those movies for his liking.

All I knew about it was the above and it has Brad Pitt. Shia LeBeouf is in it (and I liked him in this instead of being vaguely annoyed by him), and the kid who played Percy Jackson and the guy who played Shane on Walking Dead and some other people.

I liked it, Will's not sure if he liked it. I don't think it's spoiling the movie to say there is no real plot involved. There are some objectives and sort of a mission but it's more like a slice of life thing. Or... I don't know almost like the characters from another WWII movie, the tank guys that show up a few times and instead of just showing up a few times someone's actually made a movie about what happened between those scenes. The the last scenes of Fury could be part of a larger movie so it wasn't a cut and dried ending it was just the way war is.

There was a section that I thought could have been cut shorter for more tank action and one character had such a thick accent that I didn't understand what he was saying half the time.

I liked the cinemetography and there were some really stunning shots but I wouldn't call it beautiful. And it's gory but in a sensationalized way, the gore and violence are there. At times some characters think it's too much but at other times everyone just accepts it. Which I think is realistic for a movie sent in the last month of World War II.

I didn't really think of it as a think-y movie while I was watching and I was kind of uncomfortable watching parts of it but now I've been thinkign about it quite a bit and I want to go back and watch it again.

There weren't too many people in the theater but when the movie was over everyone just sort of sat in silence through the end credit sequence.

I definitly recommend and it was good but it's not what I expected it. And then here are the spoilers for the end and my thoughts:

So almost everyone we encounter as a character in this movie dies except Norman (the new guy who serves as a way to introducing the auidence into this closed world - closed as in the closed group of the Fury team and the closed world of the soldiers who are veterans of the war at this point). The everyone dies goes on to include the entire tank team - except the new guy. I almost wish the last scenese showed him dying or dead not as a shock but because it would have been realistic in terms of the final battle but also with the whole feel of the movie. Dying and seeing the dead is barely remarked on and I don't think it was to show the soldiers as being unfeeling or callous but more to show the numbness that comes from seeing that day in and day out.
