This might be the most realistic on screen depiction of Clark vs Superman in live action. I’ve never had an issue with the concept that people don’t recognize him with glasses on, but they nailed it here.

New beetlejuice. It’s fine. Worth watching but takes way too long to get started. The first 30 drags. After that it’s fun. Not sure I'd recommend paying full ticket price. The original is much better.

Watch it once it hits streaming.

He’s never going to get Lois looking like that

Lois falls for Superman first then falls for Clark. It works.

Can we be honest? This looks like the sane dude with his hair in a part. For all of Snynder pretending he cared about "realism" he didn't get the small details right.

We have a film that's not trying to be "realistic," but is nailing by these details. I approve.

Was talking to someone at a biz dinner the other day and we established we were both sci fi nerds and then did the what's your favorite genre book thing. I said "Snow Crash" and he literally spit out his drink and launched into how he'd been trying to get that produced for like a decade. The next day I got a FedEx of a script by Michael Bacall, who did "Scott Pilgrim vs. The World" with Edgar Wright.

It's ... fairly obvious from the start that it's too good for the mainstream.

good book . script is quite a flex lol .

i love all those crazy hollywood development stories ( quora is full of them ) , i'm sure the ten year effort was it's own saga .

Seems like the last decade or two has provided several examples of "unfilmable" books being successfully put on screen, (Watchmen, Dune, LOTR) but I really don't see how Snow Crash could work, even as a TV series. I'd be interested in seeing it, though.

I think the LOTR show on Amazon is very enjoyable. 2 thumbs up.

it's good. It's not great. It's not the masterpiece they wanted, but its solid
