  1. My opinion on Snyder is he is very very talented. He has a wonderful eye but one flaw of his is I always find his movies can be a bit too convoluted. The execution and style is always spot on but he tends to over stuff the film with too many concept and ideas that often don't deliver or fall flat. To me that was Sucker Punch. The idea behind Sucker Punch was so sick. And the look, casting, style, effects it was all spot on. But Snyder's problem often lies in the story and how to work together all ideas which like I said often don't work. It happened again in BvS for me. Too much going on. He just needed to simplify the story a little. But like I said in my post about it I still enjoyed it a lot.

     

    (I know he doesn't write the script but he oversees everything and I'm sure comes up with stories and plots)

  2. So I watched it. Spoiler free review ahead.

     

    It was a bit messy yes and I think that's got to do with the editing. A lot of plots and ideas and they're all kind of thrown together why you're also being introduced to Ben's Batman, Alfred, Lex Luthor and Wonder Woman. I think it was very choppy from a story stand point they should've simplified it a bit. Peeled back a few layers and focused on the core story of Batman vs Superman. BUT I don't think it deserves to be so badly critiqued. It's not that bad. It was an enjoyable movie. I wasn't bored at all. And the action wasn't as over the top as MoS which was to me one of its flaws. Too much action that just felt like it never ended.

     

    I think DC should reconsider Snyder as their director of this franchise. To me he hasn't handled Superman well. Superman is too broody and that needs to go. Henry is a great actor but sadly as Superman he fades away because the story calls for Superman and Clark to be this very gloomy character and it doesn't work.

     

    Ben was definitely amazing as Batman. And the script itself isn't bad. I mean it was written by Chris Terrio who won an Oscar for Argo. It's just too many plots crammed in.

     

    The standout was Gal as Wonder Woman. Hands down all the reviewers have said it and all the audience are saying it too. She was wonderful and was a breathe of fresh air in the movie. Honestly if WB had the confidence to have done her movie first they should've because she was wonderful and her solo movie is going me to be fantastic.

     

    Overall I did really enjoy BvS. By the end of this year though Deadpool, Civil War, Apocalypse, Suicide Squad are all gonna be above it though. Because their stories and scale look a lot better than BvS. But I would watch it again and like I said it was a lot better to me then MoS.

     

    I would rate it a 7/10.

  3. While Ed is a douche I doubt he would put up something like that without having that kind of a conversation with Behati or Candice. Maybe they've both already told him they'll be ready for the show and want to be ready for the show. It is setting up an expectation though that they will be but clearly they both think they will be and most likely will. They've got s good few months before the show. Adriana cut it super close to the 2012 show, didn't super look runway ready and still was in the show.

  4. Lily has only ever been put with the girls who have a more older/mature look or who've been working with the company longer. Like Elsa, Martha, Jasmine. I'd like to see her work with Taylor or Sara. I don't think Lily is done this year as everyone is thinking but we will see if she's used in the holiday commercial or not. That'll be the indication.

     

    Also even though Behati and Candice are pregnant the thing is they've both featured heavily in VS stuff already. The only major thing they'll both miss out on is the holiday commercial. Their absence won't be super noticeable as it gets a little quiet around VS this time of the year.

    I remember there was a commercial with romee,  taylor and jo.  Tay and Romee wearing pink lingerie. 

    They were shooting the catalog pictures in the pool and stuff. Russell shot the pictures but Jerome did the commercial. It was shown during the swim special but hasn't been uploaded by VS yet. Romee isn't in the commercial but Lais, Behati, Taylor and Josephine are.

  6. They've done a London theme, filmed in Paris, Rome and Prague. Prague and Paris were my fav. So many stunning locations. I'd actually love them to do a great one set in New York. And not just in some mansion but the streets, Central Park, on top of the Empire State, Brooklyn bridge etc. I think that would look wonderful. Or some other city like San Francisco.

  7. Which makes sense because brands are using it as a way to sell. So for example VS wants girls to have big followings because when they talk about a product or the show or something it should generate interest. But like people have said the more followers you have the more fake accounts there are too.

     

    Brands are giving people their products to wear, paying them and then one Instagram picture is all they need to take wearing that brand and tagging it in the picture. So yeah no wonder why agencies want people based on followers. That's why I see pretty much nobodies on insta with upwards of 500k followers because they're getting paid to model and aren't big names but are insta famous.

  8. Candice is starting to get into the get paid more money but work less territory. Which is good for her she's worked hard for VS. Now she can enjoy the huge pay day but do half the work while the new girls work way more for less. Candice was there once upon a time. When you think of Taylor, Elsa and Sara who has the ability to be their next it girl. All 3 are in the running. I would say Elsa but sadly she's the same age as Candice and Behati which can factor. I think Taylor is that next girl.

  9. I don't like regular or peanut m&ms but I love crunchy and peanut butter. But peanut butter only specialty stores have them here and they are very expensive. Another kind I love is one that's out for a limited time only the cococonur flavour. Don't know if you get those.

  10. The sad thing with VS is they won't wanna take a girl who already is big enough. Because they want to create a girl. The recent exception was Karlie but she was just a big HF girl.

     

    Joan Smalls, Edits Vilkeviciute, Toni Garrn were all girls who should've been given that shot. Also I wish wish wish Oluchi was made an angel all those years ago but they went with Selita. Which was a horrible choice.

     

    Some other ones I would love to see are Hannah Davis (pre boob job) and Sarah Stephens.

  11. I think Behati should skip the show if she is due around August but I feel like she won't and will push herself to do it. Cause she will get a lot of press for it and VS will eat that shit up. And if she is 3-4 months pregnant already she looks pretty good for what we've seen so far. She doesn't look pregnant at all. Of course it's still early.

    Quite frankly, I do not care about any other model.

     

    And the fact remains that whether it's Candice or Lais or anyone, Nick Jonas and Demi Lovato were on screen for way too much. It was the "Victoria's Secret Swimsuit Special" meaning you want to see primarily their models in swimsuits.

     

    It was not the "Nick Jonas and Demi Lovato concert" with VS models dancing around.

    I agree with you. I want to see the models that's what we all want to see. But you can't be all upset that Candice wasn't featured when she clearly was. Only girl to get a solo segment about her. And every model was praising her and Ed's one moment in the special was praising Candice. I mean come on? She gets all the love in every special every fashion show. I love Candice and I'm fine with her getting attention. I agree they could've cut Demi's second performance and focused on other girls but you came in to say Candice got nothing in the special and that's not true.
