Of course. It's a great combination of talent for some fantastic storytelling.

Watching any Snyder product followed by the major symbol is antithetical in itself.

Regardless of the elements of comparison.

If you are used to Micheal Bay, the only all-time great you can name is Tarantino and you have a knowledge background limited to this decade, it is obvious that you find yourself liking Snyder. Not that it's bad in itself, but the problem always comes back to the public.

Let's understand that people who go to the cinema are careless. God forbid the taste, for heaven's sake, it would be enough just to have humility, when we pretend to talk about something.

These are the same people who refuse to watch high quality films, but then accuse you of using absolutistic and gatekeeper tone towards you if you dare to contradict them.

The Blues Brothers (1980) - Everybody Needs Somebody to Love Scene (6/9) | Movieclips - YouTube

Also, Little Shop of Horrors (1986) (both endings versions) > Little Shop of Horrors (1960).

I should really re-watch the 1986 version. It's been a while.

I actually enjoy the Corman original more, the real knockabout sense of filmmaking and ramshackle production is really charming. Of course the Frank Oz musical is a lot of fun, but just seeing these guys stitch together a proper film is two days (and a not half bad one at that) is really admirable and heartwarming that gets lost in the 80’s version.

I don't blame Terrio for Rise of Skywalker. All of the problems are clearly the result of Abrams. When Terrio is working with someone who knows what the hell they're doing, like Affleck or Snyder, he's top notch.

Same. It's not like...a sarcastic gif or anything. I'm genuinely puzzled. He's been difficult to read before, but this is just a whole other level. I hope you're okay, DVR.

It might be a musical symbol.

Δ is a symbol sometimes used for major, instead of the standard M, or maj. − is sometimes used for minor, instead of the standard m or min. a lowercase root note is sometimes used for minor, e.g. c instead of Cm. + is used for augmented (A is not used).

Zack Snyder is a terrible director but Watchmen is great despite him. I also prefer the movie ending to the comic.

Ocpcommunications
Ramboraph4life
OliverHarper
etc

Are superior youtube critics to JeremyJahns, ChrisStuckmann, Scardey Cat etc. because the three above are REAL people with actual passions for movies and do honest film criticisms and rants and have standards.
