Comic Books
A place to discuss comic books of all types, from old to new, Big 2 to indie, and everything in between.
Floppies, graphic novels, compilations, omnibusses (omnibusi?) are all fair game.
There is only one rule:*
Comic Books is a no judgement zone.
You can talk all you want about how Rob Liefeld is trash, Bob Kane is an asshole, or Frank Miller and Dave Sim’s politics have made them toxic, that’s all good.
If, however, another user is LEGITIMATELY a fan of something you don’t like, that does NOT make them a lesser person. Attack the art for being bad, not the person for being a fan of bad art.
* I lied. There are TWO rules... No piracy. Cover shots? That's good. Interior pages, in moderation? Sure. Full books? Links to pirate sites? That's how we get things shut down. :(
I'm not saying it's been a problem, because it hasn't been.

Sounds like somebody paid the Daily Beast to generate hype
Does it really generate positive hype if they said it sucks?
I think there's a large contingent of people who see negative reviews and go "Yeah, fuck that, I'll make up my own mind."
I felt the same way about Megalopolis. Glad I saw it. When I see reviews talking about how a movie is confusing or hard to understand my general feeling is "Yeah, but the reviewer could just be dumb too..."
Confusing movies are sometimes the best movies. :) Pi, Primer, the Fountain, Cloud Atlas (I still need to re-watch that one), Life of Pi. Lot of "P" movies here for some reason.
+1 for Primer, so good.
When the plot is deeper than a puddle, it's harder for a movie to get a good review.
I've only had that feeling about movies I was already interested in. Random movie, not so much
"Any publicity is good publicity."
Not universally true, generally true. because not gaining any attention at all is a death sentence for entertainment.
I don't think it is intentional in this case though since the Daily Beast is trash and the odds of trying to coordinate a subversive campaign through them would be a waste of time.
