Flat Earth is good.
Chemtrails is good.
Floride in your water is good.
Fake Moon Landing. (can't we see the Apollo lander from some telescopes on earth? I can't remember if this is true or not)
9/11 inside job is bonkers.
Flu shots and vaccines are my favorites.
On twitter I've already been accused on racism because I wasn't all that impressed by the first Black Panther trailer. >_>Quote:

The group’s leader told Inverse that they’re acting out against Disney’s supposed efforts to “shove SJW messages down our throats,” adding that “minorities … should stay that way.”
Oh so he's a racist too.
Those are the kinda "fans" that make me ashamed to be associated as a fan of Snyder and DC, and as someone who is currently disgruntled at Disney's recent live action output. >_>
I'm not ashamed to be a fan of a director or his movies because of some insane racist asswipes. Theres a fanatic out there like that for everything, and I do not assume their insanity reflects on me. It would be different if Snyder or his films were openly racist, that would be a different story.Quote:

I get it though. If it comes up in conversation "hey I love Justice League" people will correlate those movies to these assholes.
Eh, the dude has 4,500 people dicking around a Facebook event. That sounds almost impressive until you remember that around 10 million will see "Black Panther" on its opening weekend.
(I don't understand why sites willingly spotlight fringe causes as if they're newsworthy. Don't they realize they're lending nutjobs a platform?)
I would never do that.Quote:

Oh I don't. But, just as an example. while at a coffee shop discussing The Last Jedi with a friend a couple weeks ago, I know I had a moment where I couldn't help but wonder if, should perhaps someone at a neighboring table overhear our conversation, and how I wasn't a fan of that movie, would I then in their minds be associated with those idiots who thought it'd be a good idea to remove all the women from the movie? And I know it's just an assumption of what others might think, but it was unsettling enough to where I kinda didn't feel comfortable even discussing the movie in public anymore at that point. :\Quote:

If someone is makes that leap from editing and filmmaking techniques and character arcs, then their opinion of you doesn't matter, for they are dumb.
Thats just how I am, I guess. I don't respect the opinions of stupid people, and I don't mean people I just disagree with. I mean stupid people.
That said,

That's all true, Skitch, but that's just how my brain works sometimes, lol. I can be pretty self-conscious, even when I have absolutely no reason to feel that way. :p
I suffer a lot of fools, so it gets easy to become numb.
Anyway, I like this story better. Lets promote this kind of stuff.

A well written think piece and as time continues to move forward I find 300 more and more troubling.Quote:

Thing is, 300 is a fascist text. As energetic a piece of comics as it is, there are no two ways about it. Alan Moore got it as soon as it was released.
Which brings me to Watchmen and how Snyder is kind of the expert in slavishly adapting material while seemingly missing the subject matter. In a roundabout way he's been doing that since his Dawn of the Dead remake which offered zero social criticism. The guy faithfully adapts all of Roscharch's key scenes from the graphic novel, but on the film, he's kind of a badass and the hero of the piece while in Moore's Watchmen he's clearly a psychopath.
That's what makes his Batman/Superman movie so strange, too. It seems that he has something to say because he does a version of Dark Knight Returns set in a post-9/11 modern scenario but in reality, what's his film about? It presents a lot of different themes while never getting them anywhere.
