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.

'Objects In Space'
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.

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.

Unusually and exceedingly peculiar and altogether quite impossible to describe
Batfleck branding criminals is ridiculous, but not as out of character as Ma "Fuck 'Em All!" Kent.
Unfortunately, the same people who Poochied Luthor are still in charge for Justice League.
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.

And from a while ago:
Anyone seen The Girl With All the Gifts ? I love the book and liked the movie, though not as much as the book.
We just finished it. Great movie. I have not read the book, so that's interesting about the motivation change. Wikipedia actually says the book and the film were written in tandem, which is an interesting approach.

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.
We might finally be getting a non-terrible DC movie. Both the Io9 and Chicago Tribune reviews of Wonder Woman were very positive (though they both complained about the final battle.)
