BloMo27: Eventually, something to say, JLA....

Got up, got out, walked. Huzzah!

Had our friends zoom tonight. We all pretty much had the same Thanksgiving - at home with no one else, simple meals, talked to family.

I've sat here staring at the screen for a half-hour and nothing that's run through my head is worth writing down. I was worried about this when I started BloMo. It's hard to feel inspired day-to-day.

How about: I may be the only person in the universe unconvinced that the Zach Snyder cut of Justice League is going to be significantly better than the theatrical release.

I've found JL oddly re-watchable. I tend to leave it on almost every time I see it on the guide. The controversy around Joss Whedon's step-in on the film makes me unhappy, but that hasn't made me too uncomfortable to watch it. I can't say the same, for example, about the Potter movies.

I don't like Zach Snyder as a director. His films have been exploitative of women, full of extreme violence for pretend artistic merit, and don't have much lightness amidst excessive darkness. The end of his 2 DC movies have been 30 minutes of mindless CGI destruction.

I'm willing to give his cut of the movie a fair viewing. But I'm not holding out much hope that it will stop me from repetitive Theatrical views.

love, lore
