Sandman March 26, 2018 Share March 26, 2018 (edited) Of course, the root of the problem may actually be that Snyder was more interested in Kal-El as an example of Invading Monster from the Depths of Outer Space!!! than as any exemplar of heroism. (The fact that this still enrages me is the source of the third sentence in my post above.) I'm also persuaded that the most clear-eyed conception of Batman exists in The Lego Batman Movie. But I digress. One place where I thought BvS was clearly going for an "Aw, hell, yeah!" and ended up with more of a "Shhhyeah, no shit" was in the moment where Batman rescues Martha (Kent -- and don't even get me started on the "No -- MY mom's name is Martha!" idiocy) and explains (gruffly, of course) that it's okay, he a friend of her son's -- and Martha's reaction looks for all the world like two distinct thoughts are occurring to her near-simultaneously: "Oh -- my son made a friend! ... And, wait, my son's only friend is another costumed weirdo..." I thought that was a lovely moment provided by the inexcusably under-used Diane Lane -- but one which the screenwriter may or may not have intended. Edited March 27, 2018 by Sandman Because one "distinct" is plenty. 7 Link to comment

Wiendish Fitch July 5, 2018 Share July 5, 2018 (edited) Col. Nathan Jessup in A Few Good Men is quite possibly one of the most detestable fictional characters ever written, because he's so real: a swaggering sociopath who confuses arrogance for confidence, bullying for authority, perverted sexism for flirting, and is basically the embodiment of toxic masculinity. His cruelty and short-sightedness are the reasons an innocent cadet is dead, and God knows he hasn't lost any sleep over it. So whenever he's told off, it makes the movie all the more glorious and "HELL YEAH!!!"-worthy, whether it's by Judge Randolph in this golden exchange: Col. Jessup: I would appreciate it if you would address me as "Colonel" or "Sir." I believe I've earned it. Judge Randolph: Defense counsel will address the witness as "Colonel" or "Sir." Col. Jessup: I don't know what the hell kind of unit you're running here. Col. Jessup: And the witness will address this court as "Judge" or "Your Honor." I'm quite certain I've earned it. Take your seat, Colonel. And especially at the end by pretty much everyone, but especially by Daniel Kaffee: Capt. Ross: Colonel Jessup, you have the right to remain silent. Any statement you make... Col. Jessup: I'm being charged with a crime? Is that what this is? I'm being charged with a crime? This is funny. That's what this is. This is... [turning to Kaffee and lunging at him] Col. Jessup: ... I'm gonna rip the eyes out of your head and piss into your dead skull! You fucked with the wrong Marine! Capt. Ross: Colonel Jessup! Do you understand these rights as I have just read them to you? Col. Jessup: [contemptuously] You fuckin' people... you have no idea how to defend a nation. All you did was weaken a country today, Kaffee. That's all you did. You put people's lives in danger. Sweet dreams, son. Kaffee: Don't call me son. I'm a lawyer, and an officer in the United States Navy, and you're under arrest you son of a bitch. [glares at Jessup] Kaffee: The witness is excused. Boom! Now who's in the "business of saving lives", asshole? Edited July 5, 2018 by Wiendish Fitch 8 Link to comment

What with Assfleck's version of this character, blathering on like Lex or the Doctor that created Frankenstein, with respect to resurrecting Supes. What they got? Before Lois showed up? They who agreed to that nonsense deserved. Not to mention how this version of "Batman" and "Bruce Wayne" I hold responsible for Supes being shit on. Since WB/DC were stealing from themselves, they shoulda gone all the way and had Supes toss him around like a ragdoll, like Hulk did to Loki in Avengers. Why yes, I am that petty and bitter.

Another HY moment from that film was Wonder Woman smacking him around for rubbing Steve Revor in her face, and everyone else taking her side. "If she kills you, we're all covering for her." One more that's a little weird: Superman's big entrance: "I'm a big fan of truth...but I'm also a big fan of Justice." So happy to see Cavill's Superman making cornball jokes like that; it's the first time in these movies that he really felt like Superman. 3 Link to comment

Having him show up (and not in the last five minutes) just proved this could have been a much better movie had he been there from the beginning and if he was recruiting and leading.

Wiendish Fitch July 21, 2018 Share July 21, 2018 From my all-time favorite movie about journalism, Shattered Glass: The New Republic editor Chuck Lane (Peter Saarsgaard, never better) finally wises up and fires that lying, manipulative, unethical little shit-weasel Stephen Glass (Hayden Christensen, also never better). Chuck is confronted and chewed out by Caitlin (Chloe Sevigny), one of Stephen's many colleagues/defenders/acolytes, demanding to know if the firing was in any way personal. Chuck, up to this point, has been going out of his way to play "good cop", mainly because he replaced the much-loved previous editor Michael Kelly (Hank Azaria), and also because Stephen is so young and popular. But after realizing the extent of Stephen's completely fabricated articles, and the way he's played everyone like a fiddle, Chuck explodes with this blistering, awe-inspiring diatribe: Caitlin, when this thing blows, there isn't going to be a magazine anymore. If you want to make this about Mike, make it about Mike. I don't give a shit. You can resent me, you can hate me, but come Monday morning, we're all going to have to answer for what we let happen here. We're all going to have an apology to make! Jesus Christ! Don't you have any idea how much shit we're about to eat? Every competitor we ever took a shot at, they're going to pounce. And they should. Because we blew it, Caitlin. He handed us fiction after fiction and we printed them all as fact. Just because... we found him "entertaining." It's indefensible. Don't you know that? I want to cheer every time I watch that scene, because Chuck finally learns the hard way what it means to be the boss. Being the boss isn't about being "likable", because any nitwit or sociopath can "liked". Being the boss means doing what's best for your employees and the business, and if that means making unpleasant or unpopular decisions, and if it means people think you're a jerk or boring? Then. So. Be. It. "Boss" and "friend" aren't synonymous, they're not supposed to be. I remember a shocking number of misguided souls (read: idiots) on the IMDb message boards whining about how Chuck was wrong to fire Stephen and ruin his career. Uh, no? Stephen Glass made a mockery of not just the New Republic, but of journalism itself. He's not the victim, he did it to himself. He also put his colleagues' careers in jeopardy, because they might be tainted by association. Sound unfair? Yeah, but that's life. What makes Shattered Glass even more rewarding is the fact that Stephen Glass was disbarred in California in 2014, and, in 2003, wrote a widely panned self-insert fanfiction-, I mean, "novel". Good riddance, twerp. 7 Link to comment
GHScorpiosRule August 1, 2018 Share August 1, 2018 Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom: When Queenie saves the hoomans' asses not once, but TWICE! But I was really cheering when she gobbled up the sleazy, murdering what'shisface. And when Blue twisted so that the Indigoraptor landed on the spikes while she landed on its stomach, thereby escaping death. And though it was the "villain" of the piece, when IndigoRaptor was faking being knocked out by the tranqs, tail twitching, eye opening, then stopping and closing the eye when Buffalo Bill human poacher was attempting to pull its teeth.

Wiendish Fitch November 7, 2018 Share November 7, 2018 You wouldn't think, in a million years, that saccharine Shirley Temple could ever have a "HELL YEAH" moment, but she did in The Little Princess. Temple plays the classic riches-to-rags heroine Sara Crewe, who is forced to work as a scullery maid at her all-girls' school by bitch-on-wheels headmistress Miss Minchin. Sara refuses to believe her father, who is off at war, is dead as reported, and has been sneaking off to the hospital to find out what happened to him. When she's caught, Miss Minchin naturally bitches her out, but Sara (who possesses an iron backbone most adults only wish they had) fires back with, "Don't you say that! He's not dead, he's not! And you can't stop me from looking for him, either!" Miss Minchin does not take this lightly, and raises her hand to slap Sara... then freezes. Instead of cowering or crying, Sara, holding back tears, stands her ground and looks Miss Minchin dead in the eye with a facial expression that all but screams, "Try it, bitch!" Sara is punished anyway, but not slapped, and you can tell Miss Minchin now knows Sara is more formidable than she realized. Damn. Who knew little Shirley could be such a badass? 10 Link to comment

Wiendish Fitch February 20, 2019 Share February 20, 2019 Whenever Ted Kennedy (Jason Clarke) gets told off/insulted/called out in Chappaquiddick (one of my favorite films of 2018), I yell "HELL YEAH!", but the crowning glory, the icing on the cake, comes when he's going to Mary Jo Kopechne's funeral. Ol' Teddy (wearing that bogus neck brace) is riding in a limo with his long-suffering wife Joan (Andria Blackman, who looks just like the genuine article). Ted simpers, "Thanks for doing this with me, Joanie!" and Joan, so sick of all his bullshit, simply deadpans, "Go fuck yourself, Ted."
