Will there be bathroom breaks?

I figure one needs HBO, or which ever US only stream runs it, to join?

That's a good point, thank you. honestly i had forgotten Joss Whedon had been behind the previously released version (i actually was watching Age of Ultron last night for the first time since it came out and was enjoying it more than i thought i would, and also had forgotten Whedon had made it...until Bruce Banner falls face-first into Black Widow's cleavage and i went "oh, yeah, Whedon made this"). and while Synder isn't an alleged abuser (accounts i've heard is he's a decent guy in person) his films... After Man of Steel (considered the "best" of his DC movies he directed, i went home and sat silently in my home alone processing the trauma i felt i had experienced. I will say this about myself is i am a fairly calm, thoughtful person not given to wildly dramatic actions, but sitting there processing all that i was dealing with having seen the spirit of my favorite character so...violated...as he was in that movie, i considered taking all of my comic books, dragging them out into the parking lot and setting fire to them. not hyperbole, i considered it. i didn't in the end. i saved my comic book collection after reaffirming the joy of comics by reading Atomic Robo by Scott Clevenger. i actually stuck to my guns with Batman v Superman and didn't see it until over a year later, after i managed to find a bluray of it used at a local store (i made a video of myself watching it. i went into a maniac fugue state when congress blows up, laughing so hard i nearly passed out) so i don't know. I want to enjoy ripping this work of hypermasculine Ayn Randian self-seriousness grimdark edgelord malarkey with some cool people like you and the patrons here, but i don't want to give these people my money, at least not on the opening weekend. my hope (which i realize is not likely to happen) is that this stunt doesn't pay off and WB sees the numbers on this and considers paying another $70 million (that they admit to) this a mistake.

I'm so excited, you have no idea

I get this 100000%. The way I see it at least though is, at the very least I'm supporting a version of the movie that at least puts down a film made by a alleged abuser (Joss Whedon) and supports Ray Fischer as an actor. While I highly disagree with Zack Snyder philosophically and his points of view on art, I can at least appreciate that he made a thing with his own vision and, as a far as we know, by creating a positive working environment for his cast and crew. The bare minimum of a bar to be sure, but still

haha, but we live in a society!

idk...I'm kinda excited to see more Jarwd Leto Joker...said literally nobody....EVER!!!

oh, the dilemma! i want to be a part of a vicious evisceration of whatever this turns out to be. but i also don't want to contribute to the official tallies of this at Warner Brothers, that just watching it on their platform is another tally-mark on their ledgers of "see, this is what people want" book. back in the day i'd just wait for this to come out on DVD and then poke around my local Used DVD store and grab it for like $8 that goes to a local business. Dilemma!

Chris Bird

woo-hoo! can't wait to watch this continuing train-wreck from the leni riefenstahl of superhero movie directors.
