Allen W Snyder @allenwsnyder.bsky.social · 04/12/2024In general, this is a terrible idea, but in Snyder’s case I doubt anyone could tell the difference. (I will go to my grave saying this: While it’s hardly great cinema, the Whedon cut of Justice League is *vastly* superior to the drudgery of the so-called Snyder cut.) 010
Allen W Snyder @allenwsnyder.bsky.social · 24/11/2024For me, nothing else even remotely comes close (though I do like the soundtrack for the first Life Is Strange game, which included great tracks from Amanda Palmer, Alt-J, and others). 000
