kek @ RDJ

*blocks your Marvel consuming fat ass*

Yeah, on the one side a popular billion dollar franchise and on the other side >Oscar for Best Makeup.

Wait, Marvel has never won an Oscar? They've made like a billion movies now.

Yeah, but they made a shit ton of money while being okay ratings, so the Academy never took pity in them.

Nothing to be ashamed of, similar franchises like Transformers and Fast and Furious never won anything either. Winning oscars is really rare in the league they play

You sound very bitter about the missed Oscars.

Stop with your brand wars, this isn't v

that face on RDJ makes me laugh each time. You just know he's being held by blackmail to be there

Amy Adams is literally perfect, go #DC !

I don't think they care about Oscars as long as the movies make money.

Both are reddit for different reasons.

Snyder grew up in Greenwich, Conn. His mother was a painter and a photographer; his father was head of human resources at American Can and a sports fanatic like his son. The family belonged to the Christian Science Church, whose members believe that sin and illness are nothing but illusions. Snyder attended the Daycroft School, a Christian Science school in Greenwich, and a summer camp run by the church in Maine. “It was pretty hard-core,” he says.

Snyder’s religious upbringing made him receptive to books and movies with sacred themes. He was overwhelmed by Star Wars when his mother took him to see it in 1977. The Force reminded him of the heavenly powers Christian Scientists believe in. The same year, his mother gave him a movie camera, and he started making short stop-action films.

Snyder, who’s dyslexic, struggled in school. But he excelled at sports, and he was a star on campus because of the ambitious movies he made featuring large casts of his blue-blazered classmates. When he needed to film an arrest, Snyder called the Greenwich Police Department and asked for a cop car. The department provided one. He also rented a small crane to get a proper overhead shot.

>not posting the number of marriages he has had and the number of children he has fathered

Snyder spent a year studying painting at the Heatherley School of Fine Art in London and then transferred to the Art Center School of Design in Pasadena, where one classmate was Michael Bay, future purveyor of cinematic mayhem.

Another classmate, Larry Fong, who’d later work as Snyder’s cinematographer on 300 and Watchmen, recalls how the budding director made a World War I movie, digging trenches behind the house he was living in, renting uniforms for his actors, and simulating rain with a garden hose. “That was my first time working with him,” Fong says. “I realized he goes above and beyond.” Snyder’s landlord had a fit when he discovered what the students had done to his property. By then the film was done. Snyder’s professor loved it.

After getting his degree in 1989, Snyder became a busy commercial director with clients such as Budweiser and Nike. It wasn’t a bad life. He bought his first Aston Martin, a used model, for $28,000. “It had a lot of miles on it, but I just had to have it,” he says. He purchased the turn-of-the century Pasadena residence of the late architect Charles Greene and spent four years doing “a museum-quality restoration.”

He also met Deborah, then an executive at a New York agency, who hired him to film a Lady Foot Locker ad in 1996. Snyder thought she was cute, but he was married at the time, and Deborah was seeing somebody. Six years later, she hired him to make a Soft & Dri commercial in New Zealand, and they happily discovered they were both single.

At the time, Snyder had six children, four with his former wife and two with another woman whom he hadn’t married. But “love was in the air,” as Deborah puts it, and they wed in 2004 at St. Bartholomew’s Episcopal Church on Park Avenue in New York. They’ve since restored a 1960s redwood house in Pasadena, designed by architect Mortimer Matthews, where they live with their two adopted children. The names of all eight children are tattooed up and down Snyder’s arms.

“He’s such a true artist,” Deborah says of her husband. “If you ever go to a restaurant where there’s parchment paper or a napkin, he’s constantly drawing sketches of people. In between movies, he’s picking up his video camera and shooting things around the house. He can’t help himself.”

In 2004, Universal Pictures released Snyder’s first movie, Dawn of the Dead, which was a surprise hit. He leveraged that success to persuade Warner to let him make 300, which he conceived as part Alexander and part The Matrix. He shot the movie in Montreal in front of a blue screen to give it the look of a comic book come to life. He put his almost entirely male cast, led by Gerard Butler as Spartan King Leonidas, on a strict bodybuilding and dietary regimen, joining them in their workouts and eating the same low-carb fare. “The proof is in the end product,” says Damon Caro, the stunt coordinator on all Snyder’s movies. “Everybody looked amazing.”

300 made $456 million internationally and generated a lot of press. Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad denounced it as an insult to his people and filed a formal complaint with the United Nations. Reporters wanted to know if Snyder meant the movie to be a condemnation of the Bush administration’s War on Terror or an endorsement. Snyder wouldn’t say.

Warner was so pleased with the movie’s success it bought Snyder a $350,000 Aston Martin Vanquish. “I was, like, huh?” Snyder recalls. “They don’t really do that in Hollywood anymore.” The studio also offered him a production deal. “We realized Zack was a guy that we wanted to have around making movies for us for a long time,” says Greg Silverman, head of worldwide production at Warner.

Not all of Snyder’s subsequent movies were quite as lucrative. Watchmen, a dark DC superhero film, earned more than $100 million domestically, but it was followed by Sucker Punch, a 2011 flop about a mental patient who fantasizes she’s a member of a group of prostitutes who battle orcs, zombie soldiers, and giant samurai. “If this is where Snyder’s imagination goes when he’s free to create his own material, maybe he’s better off sticking to adaptations,” Variety wrote in a withering review. Snyder says the movie failed because Warner refused to make a “hard-core” version with an R rating. Silverman half-concedes the point. “Obviously, it didn’t connect with the audiences,” he says. “Zack may be right.”

After Sucker Punch, Snyder needed a hit, and he had one two years later with Man of Steel, which placed Superman in the same forbidding world inhabited by Batman in Nolan’s Dark Knight films. This was no coincidence—Nolan co-wrote the movie. Initially, Deborah didn’t think her husband should make it. “I said to Zack, ‘I just think this is the biggest mistake,’” she recalls. Ultimately, the Snyders signed on, Zack as director and Deborah as a producer.

Snyder cast Cavill as Superman and made sure he looked as smashing as any of 300’s Spartans. The movie ended up making $668 million internationally and led to the sequel, Batman v Superman. Snyder brought Cavill back to reprise his performance as a gloomy Superman, but he surprised many by casting Ben Affleck as Gotham City’s Dark Knight.

damn

>Reporters wanted to know if Snyder meant the movie to be a condemnation of the Bush administration’s War on Terror or an endorsement. Snyder wouldn’t say.
What dumb journalists. If anything, it paints the opposite picture. Man even back then you could tell Snyder and the media didn't really click.

He's a cool guy, but he makes shitty movies. Sad.

yeah DC cinematic universe only just started and already has more oscars than marvel kek

Some fear that Affleck, a recent tabloid fixture, may not be credible in the role. Snyder disagrees. “Not to be drinking my own Kool-Aid, but I think Ben is a pretty good Batman,” he says. “I never liked a small Batman. Ben’s all of 6-foot-4, and in the boots, he’s like 6-foot-6.” Affleck will also portray Snyder’s kind of Bruce Wayne, a stylish guy in his 40s who lives in a Mies van der Rohe house, has a Mapplethorpe in his bedroom, and drives a green 1957 Aston Martin. It’s the director’s own car.

Meanwhile, Snyder is spending late nights in his cavernous office working on the upcoming Justice League movie. He’s also thinking about making films that aren’t comic book adaptations. Sort of. One of these days, he’d like to make one about George Washington in the style of 300. He has a picture in his office of the Revolutionary War hero crossing the icy Delaware on his way to decimate the British in the Battle of Trenton. “We were talking about it,” Snyder says. “The first thing we asked was, well, how are we going to make it look? I pointed at this painting. It looks like 300. It’s not that hard.”

Why do you faggot cucks give a fuck about the oscars now?
