JL had a surprising amount of lol moments. -- nm - Shaun Nov 20, 09:06 30
- Are those the Whedon bits? -- nm - LMS Nov 20, 09:14 3
  - I don't think all of them are. - groiny Nov 20, 09:15 2
    - Given how much he reshot and getting a writing credit, I think it's safe to say ~90% are. -- nm - Ender Nov 20, 09:19 1
      - FWIW someone on the Movies board posted a link to a discussion board where someone goes through the movie in detail and says which bits are Whedon's - Roger More Nov 20, 09:37
- Yes, but "3" still isn't a big number. -- nm - Ender Nov 20, 09:10 2
  - So which 3 parts did you laugh at? -- nm - Shaun Nov 20, 09:11 1
    - I don't recall. At this point it's all just one big blur of bad CGI in my memory. -- nm - Ender Nov 20, 09:12
- And only 50% of them were intentionally funny. -- nm - Will Hunting Nov 20, 09:08 18
  - did you see the movie, or are you just being an ass? -- nm - groiny Nov 20, 09:08 17
    - I'm just being an ass. I won't pay another penny to watch Zach Snyder's vision of comics. - Will Hunting Nov 20, 09:10 16
      - he nailed Watchmen. But yeah his vision is done. -- nm - Remlik Nov 20, 09:21 12
        
        He nailed the opening credits of Watchmen, it went rapidly downhill afterwards -- nm - LMS Nov 20, 09:27
        
        Best comic adaptation of all time. -- nm - Jovian Nov 20, 09:27 1
        
        I did not really "get it" the first time through. - groiny Nov 20, 09:29
        
        Watchmen seemed to be right in his wheelhouse though -- nm - groiny Nov 20, 09:22 8
        
        And even that was among the most lifeless movies I've ever seen. - Will Hunting Nov 20, 09:24 7
        
        and to be fair, what the hell did Marvel see in James Gunn to trust him with Guardians? - groiny Nov 20, 09:32 6
        
        I think they have figured out a way to trust a lot of people but if they don't conform, they are gone. - Will Hunting Nov 20, 09:35 5
        
        How many directors has Marvel replaced? Wright for Ant-Man, Jenkins for Thor 2, any others? -- nm - Roger More Nov 20, 09:39 1
        
        Wright is the notable one; I forgot Jenkins - Will Hunting Nov 20, 09:44
        
        sure, but like with Suicide Squad, they had a guy make a movie, screen it, and then all of a sudden say "this is not what we want!" - groiny Nov 20, 09:39 2
        
        that's when I see "from the producers of".... I just laugh. like they had anything to do with the success of the film or show. -- nm - colin Nov 20, 10:02 1
        
        It's still a step up from "from the studio that brought you..." -- nm - Ender Nov 20, 11:29
      - yeah, I paid to see every one of them, and then bought the DVD or digital code for every one of them. -- (edited) - groiny Nov 20, 09:13 2
        
        I think you should always compare movies to one another; especially similar movies. - Will Hunting Nov 20, 09:21 1
        
        from like day one, Marvel has a drawing board with a clear cut plan of attack. - groiny Nov 20, 09:27
- was it the kind where you laugh and shake your head, then look around at everybody else like "are you seeing this??!?" -- nm - colin Nov 20, 09:07 3
  - No, like actual full theatre laughs. -- nm - Shaun Nov 20, 09:10 2
    - that's.. surprising. i have not generally found DC movies to have much humor (or much good humor). i'll be seeing it probably in the next week.. -- nm - colin Nov 20, 09:11 1
      - no, they don't. they changed that with this one. -- nm - groiny Nov 20, 09:14
Didn't HSX just IPO the Joker this weekend? -- nm - Mop Nov 20, 09:04
