Saint Sovereign's Journal (HERO Origins + Khan Black ST 4)

Haha,i loved it too.it should have just been the original and we probably would have had a justice league 2 and 3 by now.dont think wb would ever have let a 4 hour movie into theatres though.a cut up one with studio involvement might still have been bad even with zack snyder

Well hopefully AT&T can resurrect the DC movies to what they should be … most have been terrible … ok some have been pretty good but others were terrible. Suicide squad was terrible, BvS was decent fight scene but that’s about it, the original justice league was the worst of all 3 lol, Birds of prey was just as bad. Now Aquaman i really enjoyed and am looking forward to Aquaman 2. I think it would be pretty awesome if they put garth or aqualad in the second one. I really enjoyed Wonder woman the first one and thought it was an awesome origin story same with man of steel. I haven’t seen Wonder Woman 2 but heard mixed things. And shazam was honestly really funny and different more light hearted and really enjoyable to watch.

Sorry totally hijacked your thread and went off course lol

I did like his version of “Dawn of the Dead” (2004). But I think I liked the original version by George Romero (1978) better.

Suicide squad and bvs was studio involvement cause they kept wanting to copy marvels lighter tone which screwed up the dc universe.havent seen birds of prey.agree,the best so far was aquaman,1st wonder woman and shazam so far.the new justice league is my favorite of all of them though

Suicide Squad could have 100x better lol. Like if they had taken the entire suicide squad animated movie and just made that live action it would have been perfect.

That is one thing DC comics doesn’t fuck up are their animated movies those are so awesome.
Apokolips War was such an awesome movie and so was the build up to it.
As much as i love Darkseid being the big bad in Justice league, i think they should have had other villains come around first. Darkseid is like Thanos he’s basically the ultimate big bad besides a few others to the justice league, Starting out with him and his minions maybe wasn’t the best way to go.

Batman vs Superman was bad lol but the worst part was doomsday, the character design was honestly crap. Doomsday looked more like a troll from lord of the rings then an actual almost indestructible killing machine that was supposed to be spiked like crazy.

I just watched it this past weekend.

I was struck by how much of a difference editing, musical, and directorial choices can make to how the exact same actor/character comes across on screen. In the first Justice League, all of the main characters struck me as feeling extreeeeemely trivial. They seemed unimportant. Like flashy cars that I have no interest in buying or even driving. My theory is that this has something to do with the spirituality of the director. (By spirituality, I do not mean religiosity or mysticism, but rather a way of being in the world and the way that lives, circumstances, and meaning hang together in the sensibility and soul of the director.)

The story being told had a soul and a kind of integrated center. I didn’t love that soul, but it was there. And every soul, whether I love it or not, has a certain power, a certain integrity, a certain coherence. That’s just the nature of souls. Anyway, that soul of the director and of the story seemed to imbue the characters with greater import as well.

(I remember when I realized that the reason I loved Scarlet Johannsson so much in Lost In Translation was primarily due to the invisible influence of Sofia Coppola over the framing of the whole movie.)

Another point was that I felt a real spiritual and aesthetic connection between this film and the movie Watchmen. Almost as though this was the movie that Watchmen was made to critique and play against. I wondered if it was actually unintentional. It introduced a subtle undercurrent of unease to the atmosphere. (A testament to Frank Miller’s genius.) It made it seem as though the immoral or flawed aspects of these characters might be hiding just off-camera or beneath the surface. This was strongest for Batman’s character, fittingly enough. Something about the shape of that body-armour suit and of the cowl, made him feel somewhat ‘off’ at times. But this was more of a tinge than a very strong feeling. Just an interesting thing.

The atmosphere was so much more effective for almost every part of the movie.

And I have to give extra points (and extra get me the heck away from this situation) for the bizarre Scandinavian singing sequence. Ever since watching Ari Aster’s Midsommar, I’ve basically got issues. (Very easily freaked out by anything even slightly untoward that’s happening in Scandinavia.) Hopefully Dragon Reborn will help when I finally get around to working through that program. :rofl:

The snyder cut was a whole lot better than the previous one. The serious tone fit the characters better and toning down the jokes made it more entertaining. Loved the visual elements reminding me of comic book panels. Fleshing out the story lines of Flash, Cyborg and steppenwolf did a whole world of good too.

Unfortunately I didn’t resonate much with the movie. Felt myself being bored several times even though I loved Man of Steel, Aquaman, Shazam and the first Wonder Woman movie. Those kept me interested. FYI I don’t mind long movies (like the director’s cut of Lord of the Rings) so runtime wasn’t the issue. I wonder whether it is because I saw the previous version

PS: i much prefer the animated Justice League. Those are classic (along with Batman the animated series). Also, Nolan’s Dark Knight trilogy is on an altogether other level.

Hey Saint,

If I wanted to have a custom script subliminal, would it be possible?

You’d have to talk to @Fire and I don’t think he’s actually making completely custom scripts right now. And if he is, it’ll be costly due to time constraints.

Hi Saint can SC maximise the power of the physical shifting technology in Hero and make it a single stage.

It’s been a long, long past few weeks. Even longer weekend. Been thinking about a lot of stuff – where I want to go as an artist, how I want to expand as an entrepreneur, etc. Then, it hit me that I didn’t take a moment to recognize an artist that – while he didn’t really “influence my life” per se because I didn’t grow up that way, as a fellow artist, I can recognize the influence he had over the culture that surrounded me. I had an incredibly diverse group of friends growing up and I experienced every type of “hood” you could think of. Rich people, poor people alike. And this artist’s raw authenticity (however flawed he may have been), always inspired me. So, I know some people will raise an eyebrow, others will raise a glass. But regardless…

RIP.

I actually am waiting for Q+ and Physical Shifting from HERO to fully materialize before getting a custom like that. And cost is no matter if what’s in my mind can be built.

I like hearing this hope subliminalclub makes your dream sub a possibility

Wait until ya’ll see our new business office. :wink:

Yes, we’re keeping the studio, which we’ll use when developing new sub formats and things like Solace. Also, the studio is about to upgraded and spun off into a separate company for various reasons. That being said, we needed more of a workspace, where we can take meetings and the such. We signed the lease for that space today, and it’s amazing, with a view of the city skyline.

We’re about to take some crazy risks to expand our companies, and I for one, am looking forward to it. :slight_smile:

Seems like somebody here is running Furious Ascent ;))

Could definitely be the case when it comes to furious ascent lol

Just tested the “Solace in Dolby Atmos” prototype. Not sure if this will ever be released, but I was just curious. It’s… very interesting and I’m curious to see if it’d improve results, but it’d definitely be a niche product, since you’d need Atmos-enabled hardware and a dedicated space for it…

Wen, Sir? :sunglasses:

Hi @SaintSovereign, do Cores in the Quintessence contain the Aura’s of each as well, meaning Wanted will have the Aura of Mysteriousness, Ascension the Aura of Attraction, and Sex Mastery the Sexual Aura – I’d Love to know since I want to add two more Aura’s which might create a form of energetic overload, especially since Wanted is already energy-intensive.
