    I'm debating linking to the pilot of the last tv show so expectations are lowered.

    Compared to all of the other recent DC stuff. This actually seems up to expectations.

    Wow. That looked bad. Sorry, I know that I have to suspend reality, but...

    I like the trailer.
    Perhaps the only DC movie I now have some hope for.
    Maybe along with "Suicide Squad".

    This looks like it may be worth seeing.

    I avoided reviews, but had generally heard positive things about the movie. It wasn't bad. It was better than most DC movies. The framing of the movie felt strange. It was a flashback for the ******** of it. There were no limits to her powers in the end.

    I just re-watched the first trailer in this thread. Wow. That was horribly cut. I know there is normally a different house that makes the trailer (did DC go with a trailer house cut for BvS?) but that trailer made me wonder how much was edited outside of an additional fight scene. Did it initially have the tone of the trailer? That's the kind off stuff that sinks a studio.

    I would use whoever cut together the "Thor: Ragnarok" trailer. I went in not really caring about that movie to being pretty psyched about seeing it.

    This came up in a conversation at work. I see dailymotion and youtube finally took it down. I assume a few orders went out before the movie came out. I might have it saved on a computer somewhere. While looking for the bad NBC pilot I began to play this episode. It looked familiar.

    Now I've heard everything. I'll wait until this comes out on DVD to buy and see it, instead of sitting in a movie theater with a bunch of nitwits who feel it empowers them.

    Solidarity At An All-Female Screening Of 'Wonder Woman' - N.Y. Times
    https://www.nytimes.com/2017/06/05/movies/wonder-woman-all-female-screening.html?

    One woman said she came to feel a sisterhood. Another said she was there because in her years as a comic book geek, she had only ever watched superhero movies surrounded by guys. Yet another came because she didn’t want to overhear fanboys cracking wise about Gal Gadot’s physique, or, for that matter, that of any other woman onscreen. Each of these moviegoers was at the first women-only screening of “Wonder Woman,” starring Ms. Gadot, at the Alamo Drafthouse in Downtown Brooklyn on Sunday.

    News of the women-only limitation set off a storm of virtual tantrums among some boys and men. Never mind that “Wonder Woman” could be seen at about 4,160 other theaters nationwide. The Alamo’s all-female screenings were exclusionary, sexist, smacked of misandry, they wrote on Facebook and Twitter, and set a dangerous precedent. Discrimination complaints were filed. What was next, some asked — male-only screenings of “Spider-Man” or “Thor”? A special screening of “It” just for people who identify as clowns?

    There were murmurings over at the box office. Frank Icano, 26, a painter from Park Slope, came to see the movie with a group of friends and was aghast to learn that not only was it sold out but it had also been restricted to women. Reporters circled him as he vented. “There are plenty of other female movies that come out, and I’m not able to see this because I have a penis,” he said.

    I don't get the outrage over one or two showings at some Alamo Drafthouses. The guy quoted complains he can't see that showing because he has a penis. He can't see that showing because it's sold out. Despite what some complain, there are not even many female characters in the genre (forget about actually being the lead). Likewise, women have not directed many large budget movies. I have no problem with women identifying with characters that are unapologetically women and badasses without relying on the regular tropes or a male to hold them up. I have looked at and identified with some non-White characters more in the past. I can't have a problem with some feeling that way about these characters. I didn't get the feeling that that was the only crowd at the theater I went to. I went and that's not why I went. The movie isn't perfect. It's good. It was nice to have some DC bigass fight scenes in daylight for once.

    I don't understand what the big deal about the women's only screening is either.

    Our biggest movieplex chain has had ladies only nights for ages.
    The one issue I'd have with them, were I a woman, is that the films they program for them are almost exclusively in the rom-com mold, which is a bit insulting (the notion that this is the only type of film that women would be interested in seeing together).
    Though I did see they also programmed a few women's only screenings of "Wonder Woman" now. :)
    The funny thing is, around the same time that this chain started with the women's only screenings, they did something similar for men, but those were cancelled rather quickly because of a lack of interest. :ROFLMAO:

    Well, I was wrong. One of the best super hero movies in a long time (back to original Iron Man and Batman - Dark Knight.
