Y'all who using words like "too dark" to describe DC movies are talking in literal sense, right? Like no sunlight, blue sky ever seen, and shit like that?
Cause otherwise, I'm at a loss at what else that are "dark" about those movies. It's exactly the same things I've seen presented and dealt with in other SH movies.
JL's humor seem fine to me. The same type that I've seen in other CBMs, be it Avengers or X-Men. That is a good (and much needed) approach cause once you have team-up movies with a bunch of big egos and larger than life superheroes, being all serious and posey just make your movies look silly and out of depth.
I think people use "dark" in the sense that everything seems grim, joyless and too serious for the type of movie they're in.
From early rumors, the JL humor is supposedly lame and out of place tonally? I dunno I haven't seen it but if it's anything like BvS, there could easily be an issue of tone deafness.

The only reason to watch this is

"DC is too dark, they should be more like Marvel"
"Why is DC trying to be like Marvel, they should stick to being dark"
Which one is it?
The problem is they're terrible at both things right now. Their jokey moments fall flat. And their dark dramatic shit falls flat. They should just stop worrying about Marvel and just to be good at one thing at a time.

never forget
Honestly the BoaN stuff was always going to fail even without Parker's implosion. The film just didn't get that great of a critical reception even coming out of Sundance. No 100's on Metacritic even. BP winners are always in the upper 80s or above on MC, at least since Crash lol.

Ultimately Hollywood likes success. There are far more horrific stories about the way powerful producers treat people both sexually and otherwise but no one dares speak against them or refuses to work with them. If you look at footage and candid photos from all the big awards and parties, there are plenty of images of big names hugging Affleck and congratulating him.
Also, what people say publicly isn't always their private position. Some people just play the PC PR game very well.
Yeah, I did notice the crowd was much friendlier to Affleck at the Oscars than they were at the GGs (even a standing ovation) and there's even a picture of him and Leo hugging and laughing together backstage, possibly because award season is finally over. I think actors are very conscious about how they're being judged on social media these days and trying to seem "woke". Brie Larson is probably genuinely trying to take a stand but also she was VERY active on twitter during the Nate Parker scandal so it would've been glaring if she just smiled through Casey Affleck's run. A lot of celebs were notably quiet on him though, like Jessica Chastain is usually very outspoken on twitter and elsewhere but she knows Affleck from Interstellar and she basically kept quiet.

As you should, people should simply read both court document directly, I don't think anyone know more than that anyway. One difference between Affleck and some others scandal is that even if all the alleged event are true in those plaint in court, it is on the civil side, it is you should never act like that at work even in the movie industry type of stuff, and not action you go to prison for.
As for him not caring or if it matter, I think it probably did impact is career, he was releasing movies every year and starting too do so again, he had a little 2008-2009 hole in is cinematography just after those incident (and after the release of Jesse James one of the best acting of that decade). Everyone in the industry probably knew about it and I would imagine could have made him hard to fully insure for a while for some projects.
I don't think he would mind playing in blockbuster, he was in many of those, Interstellar recently, before that he was in the Ocean's eleven franchise, Triple 9 was close to an action movie (movie not that good but the action in it was extremely good). If Tarantino, Nolan, Spielberg, Ang Lee, Cuaron, insert others would want him in their next big blockbuster I don't think he would say no I just want to work on low budget, low profile movies.
I believe he said he was running low on money around the time Out of the Furnace happened which is why he had to drop out of a Lonergan play to do that movie instead. I'm sure this has impacted his career in part but also just the whole I'm Still Here prank probably just made people go WTF what is he doing. It's also notable that in the documents their allegations involve him being drunk as hell when some of that stuff happened (the bed incident for example) and now he's said that he's sober since 2013, which is probably wise considering all the alcoholism that runs in his family. I think as long as it seems like he's cleaned up his act, he won't have problems finding work from now. Hollywood is pretty damn forgiving, look at Mel Gisbon.

I think that would overcomplicate things without making any real difference since all other categories have 5 slots. When a movie hasn't enough support to win the preferential ballot it also shows in other categories that vote just for a winner. La La Land outside of BP lost as many oscars as it won, Revenant lost all the technicals to Mad Max and even Gravity that swept below the line ended up with 2 fewer above the line oscars than 12 years a slave.
The point of the preferential ballot isn't to undermine the "frontrunner" or producing more surprising winners. It's necessary in the expanded BP category because if they voted just for the winner a movie could win with less than 25% of the votes.
I don't see what the purpose of preferential in 5 nominee categories would be either. The preferential thing is only there to prevent a random film from winning BP with like 11% of the vote. But La La Land lost Sound Mixing, which is very unusual for a musical, so I think we knew right then that this wasn't going to be a huge AMPAS love fest.

He actually doesn't give a damn , he is not the guy who wants to star in blockbusters or something , he is way more serious than Damon and his older brother to consider such films and frankly he is way too good to be ignored when it comes to movies with such heartfelt themes aimed at a narrow audience
plus actors with worse reputations have recovered given a few years
I don't think he wants to do blockbusters at all but I believe his choice to do I'm Still Here really did screw with his career after he had a stellar 2007. he and Ben have both admitted as much publically. I think he could've established himself as an equal to his BFF Joaquin as the critical/arthouse guy if he hadn't made such a weird off-putting career choice at that stage.

There's a significant amount of backlash against him from a lot of lot of creative types I follow on Twitter. They don't doubt his talent, but they really don't appreciate his past issues (and lack of transparency or real contrition, or making amends such as is possible). I don't think he'll get blacklisted or anything, but he may have more trouble landing bigger parts than you might expect from a new Best Actor winner.
Does that matter though? He himself is directing his own follow up film which has already sold to overseas territories, he has Ben (who will produce and direct movies until he dies), Matt (who also produces movies), also most likely has Brad Pitt in his corner after working together several times, Joaquin and the whole Phoenix family, and his working relationship with indie darling David Lowery with their next film together co-starring Robert Redfort and Sissy Spacek. Even if everyone else in Hollywood hated him, he would have work from just his friends and family alone. lol. I doubt he was ever going to try to become an action leading man. He seems like he just wants to do his Sundance movies.
Granted, most Best Actor winners don't see a huge change in their career direction anyways. That's usually the actresses. Most of the actors just continue doing whatever they were doing before.

Cheesy dialogue, awful acting ( vader and leia phahaha), awful vfx.
The early HP movies had horrible acting... and awful CGI in the quidditch scenes and those were made in 2001.

that's kind of the whole reason i like rey random. she rises to greatness from nothing, not because of her parentage
I'd agree if they didn't just completely crib the last two protagonist's imagery and backstory. Have her fucking grow up in jungle or some other environment at least. Throwing her on a desert for no reason is more irritating than sand.

how is it my interpretation? main character of anh: luke. luke in the finale: death star. main character of tfa: rey: rey in the finale: lightsaber fight.
Just cause the film diverged in one way does not make it NOT a copycat.

no because the prequel trilogy represents the fall of the jedi when the chosen one falls to the dark side. the sequel trilogy represents the rise of the jedi when the new chosen one finds balance between light and dark. the original trilogy was a family-focused story about the child of a chosen one who is burdened with the fate of the galaxy despite not being a chosen one himself. this is why luke is different from anakin and rey, why his new jedi failed before tfa even began, etc
rey ain't a chosen one either. she's either just related to the skywalker line or just a random newb. JJ has said he doesn't like the idea of that and wants the force to be accessible and not like some jesus power.

i'm making a spreadsheet comparing TPM, ANH, and TFA as we speak. but quickly i can tell you that a big difference is the fact that the climax of anh is the main character destroying the death star, while the climax of tfa is the main characters in a lightsaber fight. this is exactly what i was talking about: if you ignore rey and finn it's the same as anh. if you actually focus on them it's not
Except when Rey and Finn have an almost identical interaction as Luke and Han in which Rey/Luke are disappointed that Finn/Han leave the Resistance/Rebellion out of self preservation but they come back to the rescue. I mean, if you really think TFA isn't at the very least an overly familiar homage...

Agree
Luke: naiv, dreamy, a 'child' (family, not self-employed,...), not used to confrontation,... looses what made him till then.
Rey ( in a way): opposite, opposite, opposite (opposite, opposite), opposite,... She looses a bit of her belongings, brings with her ~ survival (nature and tricks,...) training
And that is only about their origin = start out of IMHO very differing places, characters, POV on life and so on.
Rey is the definition of naïve, gurl had no idea what trees were and thinks her parents are "coming back". lol.
-
Just now, water said:
she's quite similar to anakin, who is quite different from luke. therefore she's quite different from luke, if that helps make my point clearer
Anakin was deliberately modeled off of Luke. so... they're basically all variations of the same prototype.

rey is literally nothing like luke. they start on a desert planet and use the force by the end, that's it. that's kind of going to happen in a star wars movie. but she's basically the opposite of him as a person (i'm gonna say that was the point). meanwhile finn is a stormtrooper who defects, which has obviously not been done before in the movies. this leads to a character arc and context for this universe that has also never been done, and a great one at that
Um what. Rey is basically a Luke/Anakin clone, which is there are so many goddamn theories about her being a clone or Luke and/or Anakin!

I mean she’s already pretty undermined by this dumb YA romance shit they gave her.
