What a charming story! There certainly was an unspoken chemistry and communication apparent between them. I'd thought it was a product of hours of rehearsal for the stunts and an understanding and appreciation of the other's strong points. I guess that's true, just for much longer than being hired for a film. Thanks for sharing that.
You turn on any of my crew, you turn on me.

Buffista Movies Across the 8th Dimension!
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.

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.

Unusually and exceedingly peculiar and altogether quite impossible to describe
We got the DVD of Batman v Superman at the library, because I decided I wanted to see it before Wonder Woman is released.
I like Batfleck a LOT. And Gal Gadot looks fantastic as Wonder Woman. And that's about all the praise I have for the movie. Oh! I like Jeremy Irons as Alfred a LOT, too.
I hope that whoever thought that was a good iteration of Lex Luthor was fired. Good lord.

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.
But he's edgy and in your face. He's the Poochie of Lex Luthors.
Those were my exact thoughts about B v S. I was thoroughly surprised by Batfleck. Unfortunately, the same people who Poochied Luthor are still in charge for Justice League.

Batfleck branding criminals is ridiculous, but not as out of character as Ma "Fuck 'Em All!" Kent.

And if that wasn't bad enough, Joss is doing rewrites (or reshoots, or something). Can one dude who has demonstrated that he doesn't give a shit about characterization improve upon the work of another dude who demonstrated that he doesn't give a shit about characterization? Doubtful.

At least Joss knows how to assemble scenes so they make narrative sense?

I'll grant him that much.

At least Joss knows how to break up the grimm with a joke now and then?

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
Just watched Get Out. Holy shit.
Also, I'm glad it ended the way it did.
