Going to get into this since I believe there's no getting around it, we're linked, him, me, and x-men. Does Bryan Singer give a SHIT about me? No. He may or may not even know I exist, probably doesn't like how I treated his superman movie... I can't apologize enough for that action. Uh, but it is what it is. You will fail in life, you will fall, HARD, and not even know where to go afterwards really. If there's one thing you can count on, it's man's ability to fuck up.
I don't want to be party to the extreme and complex political dealings going on between homosexuals and heterosexuals. It's one of the benefits of being black, is that you don't get very far discussing those things anyway, so why bother. It's something I realize now. That, a black guy can't make huge changes to the world, not now, not ever... So I can scream to the heavens about wanting things my way, and no one will give a shit. There ya go... yup...
So Singer's back on X-men after all these years. I was there. So anyone very young reading this will get some education. Singer was ready to film x3, but then he got a call from WB and they asked him if he wouldn't mind doing Superman. Uh, of course this was a dream project for Singer, so he went and took the jump to WB without a moments hesitation. The reason being, because he hated working for Fox. Ultimately he made great xmen movies despite all the studio bullshit he probably dealt with, and that's remarkable. But because he's so good, he got requested to go to the superman side of things.
So we got a new superman movie that I personally followed with a passion. It was monumental to me, and to a lot of fanboys online. Not so sure how big it was to the general public. All I know is that, if I had it to do all over again, I would not have gotten so deeply involved. Because now it's just blown up beyond reason. To the point of zealous insane religious warfare like over in iraq and stuff. It's not right to get that into a fucking superhero movie. Really look at yourself and see how stupid you look for losing your mind and arguing for years about fucking superman.
YOU LOOK LIKE AN IDIOT.
Well anyway. I just wanted to get into what I expect from Days of future past, because I grew up on Singer's X-men. Which is why I was all FOR him making superman. Didn't have a CLUE in fuck that there were a vehement KKK group targeting the film for execution like that, but there it is. I guess there is a bunch of white guys ready to tear singer down if he does anything at all... That's truly unfortunate. He's the only guy on this planet who's made competent x-men movies.
The question I have is does he feel like he failed? Cuz this SHOULD be Superman Returns 2 he's making, not X-men.
I'm more than confident that he'll knock it out of the park. He's a GREAT director. That's all that needs to be said about him.
It's clear as day. We had 2 intelligent well made x movies, then we got x3. Superman Returns is still a far better film than half the movies we get these days. Hell I'll even say it's still BETTER than anything we've gotten since it came out. And that includes the Dark Knight, thought that movie gave it a run for its money. There's just so much passion put on screen in Returns, there's no amount of Dragon ball Z bull shit in Man of Steel that's going to compare to that.
So it's a hard world to live in where people are struggling to ignore a great superman film, even to the point of making a goddamn new one, that isn't even close to being as good.
You wait and see, Days of Future past is going to have more soul and heart and passion in it than ANYTHING in Man of Steel. You bet your fucking ass.
I bet they might even consider bringing singer back to superman after days completely embarasses their little piece of shit man of steel cartoon episode they put out there...Yeah, it's a fucking satuarday morning episdoe of superman tas for babies. The movie was so fucking one note. No depth. Nothing said about anything. It came, it left my brain. I'm still feeling the passion for superman that singer put into Returns. I feel nogthing for man of steel. I don't know who gives a damn about that movie really. If you have a choice of watching superman 1, 2, and Returns vs watching man of steel, what are you gonna do?
I was hopeful really. I didn't like the feeling of uneasiness that I got from my own conflict with Returns. So I was hoping to just jump on the man of steel bandwagon and forget about superman returns all together, but I can't. The movie was stupid. It didn't even try to be as smart as returns. Returns is a clever movie. Truly evoking the quality of the superman comics in that some of those issues don't make any fucking sense whatsoever, but they're more about the underling themes and subtext. And so Singer went that route. He didn't try to make the movie fit into a neat little box, it's full of ambiguity which you can fill in on your own. Man of Steel makes no fucking attempt whatsoever to be artistic. And that's a huge problem. If there's one thing I know about superman comics, it's that they're extremely artistic because it's hard to do superman in a particular way, so basically every artist and writer takes him and uses him for artistic reasons more than the straight forward hero vs villain stuff.
It's like burton with batman really. He took batman and instead of playing it straight which is what we got with nolan's boring shitty batman with now artistic value whatsoever, burton took what makes batman COOL and amplified it to the 10th degree. That's how it's supposed to be done. You have to take these comic characters and make them into legends through the visuals. Then it become so much more interesting imo.
That's why I love Superman Returns. It takes me RIGHT the fuck back to my childhood days. I watched movie that were weird and artistic, but they were supposed to be. That's how art works. It's supposed to be I suppose a distortion of reality. Not straight up reality in your face. But it takes reality and reforms it into something more interesting.
So it's profoundly disappointing that they took superman and made him into this really predictable, safe, cookie cutout super hero that we've seen before a billion times.
That's not the era I come from. We didn't get "safe" movies back in my day. We got fucking batman, we got fucking ninja turtles, fucking power rangers movie, shit that was truly a interesting and different kind of films that were weird and strange. Gotta give burton his due, he's responsible for a lot of the really fucking strange and ridiculous works of art that we got back in the 90s.
It's ultimately too bad we've not challenging ourselves anymore artistically with films. It's truly becoming a kinda lame now to see the thousandth sequel or reboot of the same shit done with more modern fx. I'll watch Ang Lee's hulk any day over Incredible Hulk, because that movie was huge to me, because it was so fucking awkward and different. That's what I like to see. But you go online and you tell guys, you liked ang lee's hulk, I don't know who it is, some douche bag in his 50s or whatever, but they slam you down for liking any kind of hulk that's different from the comic pages.
bull shit... don't matter. Singer is going to really hopefully make a monumental x-men to end all x-men. And also I hope that one day soon I'll just have my x-men bluray collection consist of x1-x2-and Days of future past. And finally we'll have the x-trilogy we deserve. It's so fucked up that we had to go through a full awful brett ratner x-men for them to say oh well that sucked, let's get a good director making these movies again. But we did...
The future does indeed look bright though. Always good to have Bryan Singer making films instead of fucking Brett Ratner or Zack Snyder.
Apparently being Gay is a fucking good thing. Because Singer's movies are GOOD and the heterosexual's movies are SHITTY.
What's going on here?
