Tara ,'Storyteller'
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.
Agreed about the ending too.
It had a much deeper impact on me than you might imagine. I remember sitting in the theatre, after everyone left, thinking what interesting things it said about the audience's expectations AND about how that sort of thing would go in the real world.
Agreed about the uneven performances by some of the cast. But not Rickman. All of his fairly limited scenes were choice.
I don't know about anyone else, but the new Suicide Squad trailer (set to Bohemian Rhapsody) is making me very impatient for August!

Eh. I still really hate the character design/costuming for Harley and the Joker. Seeing them in motion made it even worse, IMO.
I'm mostly psyched for Deadpool.
Also Pride and Prejudice and Zombies.

SO EXCITED.
The little bit I saw of the Wonder Woman movie was what got me eager to see more. I really do feel that DC is going to get that one right, and so far Diana has been the one uplifting element of the Gravel-voiced Xenophobe v. Space Messiah trailers as well.
Okay, I finally got around to watching the Suicide Squad trailer, and...it looks like it could be fun.
I'm still all the way there for Deadpool, tho. (It opens on our 10-year anniversary, so instead of, you know, going out of town or having a big fancy dinner to celebrate, we were like "Deadpool?" "Uh, FUCK YEAH, Deadpool!" Because we're goddamn romantics.)
I saw the Wonder Woman spot. Why is it so... blue-gray and sepia? I know it's set in the past, but would it have killed them to pop some primary colours in there? I guess they are being consistent with visual palette set by Snyder (WHICH I HATE) but it's a different director. They could have diverged a little.

I do like that the Suicide Squad movie (based on the trailer) seems to actually USE COLOR. So that's a point in its favor.
Color-grading is one of the last steps in film post-production, so the final film will probably end up looking better. (Not necessarily good, but better).
