Wash ,'Objects In Space'
A place to talk about movies--old and new, good and bad, high art and high cheese. It's the place to place your kittens on the award winners, gossip about upcoming fims and discuss DVD releases and extras. Spoiler policy: White font all plot-related discussion until a movie's been in wide release two weeks, and keep the major HSQ in white font until two weeks after the video/DVD release.
And what plot there is is meaningless because of the aforementioned event at the fifteen minute mark.
I was totally willing to go see it at the second-run theater for the crazy eye candy (I kind of love the posters for it, even if they're entirely nonsensical) -- until I read a review that mentioned the whole lobotomy thing. No thank you.
Tep is me, here. We're very pretty. And then, to say that's "empowering?" Bella Abzug should come back as a ghost and slap the piss out of them.

Totally!

*That's* a movie I'd pay full price for.
Ahahaha! Me, too.
Heh, erika. Indeed.
You know, I actually sat down and watched it all the way through, just in case I was judging it unfairly, and I don't feel I was. You'll be just fine never seeing it at all Tep and erika.
Actually I watched the first fifteen minutes to give it a "fair viewing". That's all I needed to be utterly offended by this awful film. I sat through the rest of the movie because I had already gazed into the abyss by then.

Me three.
My roommate kept asking if I wanted to stop watching, and I kept telling him "No, I want to keep watching and ranting about how hateful and vile this film is."
Oddly enough, any other time, he would find that a very compelling argument, but he kind of felt the same way this time.
I've done that...mostly from my true-crime fixation. I actually considered SP for a second, looking for something to watch on HBO(on weekends, I'm such a cheap date...sometimes I get surprised, but mostly, I regret things I choose on that basis,) but since I actually can't do what Raylan Givens might do and take personal time, round up the filmmakers and give them forty-eight hours to apologize to every grown woman in America, including the ones in the film, I decided my health couldn't take it.
Emily Browning is so thoroughly the canny and inventive Violet Baudelaire to me that there is seriously no amount of money on earth that could have bribed me to see Sucker Punch. It was totally irrational of me, but the entire premise felt like a personal insult to that character and to the intelligence of the actress who'd brought her to life.
Stoopid mainstream movie industry. Last I heard, the amazing girl who played Wendy in the most recent Peter Pan had quit; she hit her late teens and early twenties and got tired of being offered nothing but screaming and helplessness.
Gee, how come.
The Sucker Punch soundtrack is pretty good. Other than that, I got nothin'. We watched it on DVD and kept looking at each other going "Really? REALLY?".
What upsets me is the swarms of teen girls (that I mostly see on Tumblr) who LOVE Sucker Punch and identify with Babydoll.
