Well, duh, you're supposed to feel *OUTRAGE*. This is the Internet, right?
Oh, right. I'll work on that.
At least Ben Affleck is not Zack Snyder.
Well, my days of not taking you seriously are certainly coming to a middle.

Buffista Movies 7: Brides for 7 Samurai
A place to talk about movies--old and new, good and bad, high art and high cheese. It's the place to place your kittens on the award winners, gossip about upcoming fims and discuss DVD releases and extras. Spoiler policy: White font all plot-related discussion until a movie's been in wide release two weeks, and keep the major HSQ in white font until two weeks after the video/DVD release.

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!
This dark "gritty" world DC has created in their movies is exhausting and dispiriting to me, and I don't want to play in it anymore.
I've been in the not interested camp for a long while. But then again, no one ever got rich making movies that cater to my tastes, so I can't really complain that they aren't making my kind of movies.

Well, people have made more than a billion dollars each on three movies that cater to my tastes recently, and I'm not thrilled about a monochromatic noir Superman movie either.

GS: If you had to choose between kicking evil in the head or the behind, which would you choose, and why?
Minsc: I'm not sure I understand the question. I have two feet, do I not? You do not take a small plate when the feast of evil welcomes seconds.
I feel... what's the word for bored, mildly irritated indifference?
The closest I can think of is "ennui" but that's not quite right.
I've also lost interest in the DC movie-verse. At least their TV shows are still enteritis entertaining me.
On the other side of the coin, I'm interested to see how the new Sony/Marvel team up with a teenage Spider-man (that actually looks like a teenager) works out.

Then they should worry when they lose you as an audience. I've already been given up for dead.

?
Or how about "relaxed," in the Arthur Dent sense?
"I may need a quote...How do you feel about having ridden on Halley's Comet?"
"I haven't," said Arthur with a suppressed sigh, "ridden on Halley's Comet."
"OK. How do you feel about not having ridden on Halley's Comet?"
"Pretty relaxed, Murray."

You know, I love John Cusack as much as any child of the 80s, but dude: you are not the right guy for swords-and-sandals epics:
I'm agog at the very concept of this movie. Who thought this was a good idea?

Well, it does have Jackie Chan. Which goes a long way to invalidate other arguments.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
John Cusack looks totally lost in every scene in that movie. Which may be appropriate.
