This is the only acceptable kind of surprise Dick pic.
[Movies] The DC Cinematic Universe - The David Zazlav Dumpster Fire.
Just got back from it. Liked it quite a lot. Gal Gadot is a great Wonder Woman, and the rest of the cast were competent as well. The action was great, the development of Diana's character was great, and when the electric guitar started up when she began kicking ass I swear I wept a tear of joy.
There are some plot holes and stuff I wish could've been explained a bit better, but on the whole I'm very satisfied with this movie.

More good news for Wonder Woman at the box office: not only did Wonder Woman see the first second weekend drop for the DCEU that was not in the mid-to-high 60's, it has one of the best weekend-to-weekend holds for a superhero movie with only a 43% drop. (BoxOfficeMojo)
Think I read it also held favorably over the course of opening weekend's Friday to Sunday more so than BvS.
Hey, did you know there's (sorta) a music video for that song?
This version's a little heavier, too. And sweatier.

Yeah, I figured you'd be one of the first to show up if I put up the bhamv signal. It's right up your alley.

Reminds me of Rammstein.

... Have you ever been to a Rammstein concert?
Junkie XL has done a bunch of the framework for scoring Justice League, but like Zack Snyder he needs to leave the project early, albeit not for tragic reasons in this case (scoring Tomb Raider).
Danny Elfman will take over from here.

The music is kind of similar, granted (albeit in angry, guttural german), but trust me, there's not near enough fire, semen, torture, and fiery semen.
Rammstein's kind of like... GWAR got tired of wearing costumes and took ecstasy laced with viagra.
yeah, that's what I meant.
Elfman's good, I like Elfman.

Elfman is good when he's not plagiarizing Elfman.
He should be working with Junkie XL's themes and making a score out of them for the new and recut material that Whedon is doing right now. So I don't think we have to worry.
... though I'd kinda love it if he snuck in the Batman theme from the Burton movies
.I'd just like you to know I've been on a Tina Guo binge thanks to you.
I don't even think she's that attractive, as far as Asian women go. She just plays music I like, I guess.
...I'd let her stroke my cello.
Cello Nurse!
I was also surprised how much she's done. I don't think I'd even heard of her until this.

Holy Hera! In 28 days, Wonder Woman has surpased Batman Vs. Superman's 84-day box office take, making it the DCU's most successful movie.
Funny enough, Mr. Z finally got to see it this past Thursday. He didn't have anyone sitting next to him (though the theater wasn't empty), so he could send me this during the movie:

So, Wonder Woman. Wow. I wouldn't call it the best superhero movie or even a great one. Chris Pine's appropriate last name lives up to his wooden acting. The third act and villains were disappointing.
But Gal Gadot? Phenomenal.
The cinematography? Outstanding.
And the entire trenches scene? I was in awe. THAT is how you do slow motion. THAT is how you show a superhero who cares about lives. I'd argue that scene ranks up there with the helicopter rescue in Superman: The Movie.
So yeah, very happy I got to see it, even if I have no plans to see any other DCEU film. It's fortunate that this was, at best, tangentially tied with the rest of the DCEU.

Dang it. Where's that WW v. S box office meme? I can't find it from mobile right now.Holy Hera! In 28 days, Wonder Woman has surpased Batman Vs. Superman's 84-day box office take, making it the DCU's most successful movie.

Oh! Something I forgot to mention: there's an armadillo early in the film. It scurries across some stone steps in Themyscira.
Therefore, this is officially the greatest superhero movie of all time.

Amazons gain their powers from armadillos confirmed
This is my canon now.
I feel like that's one of the strengths of Wonder Woman in the comics, and Thor on the Marvel side. Even if their respective company is sucking overall at the moment, they're usually able to keep a distance from that in one way or another by dealing with god-stuff.
And it's going into Dil's backstory, yes?
Completely retconning a character's backstory--I can think of no more fitting tribute to Wonder WomanAnd it's going into Dil's backstory, yes?
