>Forgetting that it wasn't one poster who directly influenced that, but a multitude of posters protesting that it be done...

As if the poster has any direct control over which it ends up being...? OT: Dunno if this is worth buying since I already have Black, but it sounds like it has enough for those who haven't come to the current generation yet.

No; as per the original Kotaku article (or even the blog post, if you had had a chance to read it), what happened was that the blogger first commented that the "thuggish" comment was racist, and then began to point out other problems of racism/sexism/homophobia in the office that he perceived...

I agree completely that 300 and Watchmen were deep; I'd argue they were significantly deeper than his films let on. And because of that I would say the fact that he basically glossed over what made both that deep, and went for "Oooh, shiny man-chest and crazy CGI!" kinda is exactly the reason...

Yeah, seriously. Not to mention, if Snyder was actually trying to make the film this intelligent, why wouldn't he create a metaphor around Babydoll confronting the nature of the actual real-life issues that got her in there (reclaiming something that was hers, or defending the people she loves...

Well my point re: that comment was more to say that Snyder isn't exactly known for making films that make people think, so I think Bob's desire to see this film as an intelligent self-examining look at sexist/whatever culture that empowers women to take sexuality into their own hands etc etc is...

I'm well aware that it's possible that a woman would like to be sexy without wanting to be so because guys like sexy women (and for the third time, in a different movie, I could buy the argument that they continue to wear the skimpy outfits in the fantasy world in order to reclaim that...

I'm just going to requote myself... EDIT: Also can't tell if that last part is a joke or not, so I'll assume the worst until you tell me otherwise: I tend to have no problems talking to and understanding women, though that may be because I talk to them like they're normal people and not...

Seconded. Combined with my sentiment that Zack Snyder has never shown that he is clever enough to have thought to frame the movie as a "You guys should be ashamed that you like all this" sort of way that Bob mentions in Part 1 OT: While I would allow for the possibility in a better movie...

Seconded. That movie was way darker than most of the other movies that were mentioned, while having great characters, a good story, and not having to rely on catchy musical numbers to hold people's attention. Still my favorite Disney movie ever made.

Exactly. If you're a girl (or anyone not typically thought of as being a "geek") and you're interested in geeky things, the only people you're going to be able to share that with are people within geek communities. You're not going to be able to go to your friends who don't share those interests...

I didn't say it was clever in general, nor did I say the idea of a remake in general is clever. Just that it's more clever than doing the typical "USA wins and is better than everyone else" cliche. I'll also say I think you're completely over-reacting to the conceit by being "so god dam...

You gotta admit though, it's more clever than the more obvious choice of USA as the rich swanky superpower, and some country the U.S. is at war with being the poor worker's colony.

For 1: For 2 "Cinematic history" is a vague category so I won't touch that; I'd say it's definitely a contender for best of the trilogy though (can't say for sure until I've seen it a couple more times).

I disagree with the notion that there is no message or thesis about Batman in this movie other than the OWS-esque theme; the latter is Selina's theme, but it becomes clear pretty quickly that it's not a central idea to the movie. Nor were there two "back to Batman" phases in the movie, but only...
