The board's server will undergo upgrade maintenance tonight, Nov 5, 2014, beginning approximately around 10 PM ET. Prepare for some possible down time during this process.
I have basically no interest in seeing this. If I ever do, it will be on a day when I have absolutely nothing going on, on a personal, professional, or spiritual level
Wouldn't you just watch a different movie under those circumstances?

I mean, it is very definitely and obviously not trying to be original. It's well known this started as basically a Star Wars spec script but that that didn't pan out. So what? Change a couple names and Snyder can still make essentially that same movie. Snyder's not trying to tell an original story. It is undisguisedly a Seven Samurai plot. It uses that standard framing to do whatever it wants with the little details.
So to criticize it for being unoriginal or derivative is kind of beyond the point. Snyder designed this movie to be unoriginal and derivative...which kind of gives him space to go for broke being weird with his odd colors and frequent slo-mos and melodramatic hero shots and freaky little villains.
It's a word that has come up in A&E recently with regards to the new Matrix, Beau is Afraid, maybe some others. indulgent
I dig it
