fandom_wank's thoughts on yaoi, movie wank, omg mock people mock, reviews, stop sharing your thoughts

small but interesting
So Sucker Punch came out this weekend and not only did it Fail To Impress, But it also Didn't perform as expected

People give their thoughts around the internet. Most people hated it along with a very vocal few who liked it.

HOWEVER, being a Zack Snyder movie... This shit blows up over at the Spill community.

For those of you who don't know: Spill.com is an internet based film review community (that recently expanded to video games) that gives podcasts and animated film reviews.

So as usual, a review is posted (review in bad taste with rape, skip if you wish )

Usually reviews get a fair amount of comments within their weekly film reviews. But for some reason this weekend SHIT BLOWS UP about this movie giving heated debates on Why this is a bad movie and you are bad for liking it; or you need to calm down and have a good time.

And it all starts here (I posted the link from page 45 since that's where it all started. you may have to go a few pages down until the wanky stuff finally gets started)

If you're not in the mood to read ALL of the mess here is a breakdown of the community:

. Spill members hate Zack Snyder
. Film Causes debate because his name is on it
. Usually in the community everybody likes to automatically agree with the critics despite not having seen said movie for themselves
. Debates are caused on OMG THE FILM INDUSTRY IS COLLAPSING NOW11!!11, stop liking what I don't like, why Zack Snyder is the devil.. the works.
. Comments criticizing the reviewers on WELL WHAT DID YOU EXPECT FROM THE TRAILER? OMG YOU'RE SO UPTIGHT

Oh and there was also a cute little side wank about the audio podcasts being too long

note:I edited the entry to fix a link and tags and warning suggested by commentor (thanks)

From the comments:

This movie was so bad that I no longer like past Zack Snyder films or even films involving anyone else who was in this movie. Jon Hamm was the best thing about this movie and the only one who showed any level of competent acting, yet even after his minute and a half of screen time in this piece of shit I now hate Mad Men by mere association and I loved Mad Men.

Yes, a perfectly reasonable reaction. Not over the top at all.

	And I hate I hate I hate PETER PAN!!!!! Oddly (or appropriately) enough, I've had the song "Never Smile at a Crocodile" stuck in my head for the past two weeks.* Yeah, I know, that's Disney's Peter Pan, not Hook*, but still, same topic, sort of. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	That one line from Hook has gotten me so much mileage over the years that it's almost not funny. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	I can think of so many uses for that one, too. (Reply to this)(Parent)

	spawn_of_kong 2011-03-29 03:05 am UTC (link)
	Yes, a perfectly reasonable reaction. Sadly, based on the reactions I've sometimes seen from others on the Internet (including here on JF), such a reaction is considered perfectly reasonable. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	You mention this a lot, have you noticed? (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	spawn_of_kong 2011-03-29 04:34 am UTC (link)
	Yes. I chalk it up as another example of my more obsessive tendencies. Either that, or just being unable to keep my big mouth shut. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	I offer you some advice, from the depths of my shrivelled little heart. Don't worry too much about what the limit for other people realizing that they don't like someone anymore is. It's their business, etc. You don't gain or lose anything either way. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	spawn_of_kong 2011-03-29 04:50 am UTC (link)
	It's their business, etc. True, but surely that doesn't mean they're exempt from being mockworthy, especially when they're as over the top about it as this person is being. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	I admittedly am not immune to that kind of over-reaction, which makes me ridiculously bemoan things like how I can't genuinely likes Neville anymore -damn you kid who plays him- even though Neville himself hasn't done anything. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

Basically, we have a female linesman now in the Premier League (Lineswoman? Linesperson?) who endured nasty sexist comments from nasty sexist football commentators (Andy Gray and Richard Keys). They were then sacked by SkySports, but there were some backlash from people who actually stood up for them, including the boy that played Neville. This post has the info/articles

Somebody had a copy of his tweets, wait up-

Here we go:

Oh brill. Now we're gonna lose another good football pundit.

And

Mattdavelewis Matthew Lewis
I ain't condoning Richard Keys and Andy Gray's comments but if you watch Loose Women on ITV. It doesn't appear to work both ways...

Yeah. A lot of headdesking after that.

	That's it? I mean, it's bad, but... that's it? I was expecting something more grandiose and American, like "Neville Longbottom kills a hooker, and now she ded from coke." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Ah the "THIS MOVIE IS BAD AND EVERYONE INVOLVED SHOULD FEEL BAD. IF YOU LIKE IT, YOU'RE A HORRIBLE PERSON WITH NO TASTE AND YOU'RE STUPID" reaction. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Ah yes, indeed. I disliked the movie, but I do not feel the need to devour the flesh of those who enjoyed it. (Reply to this)(Parent)

	It does suggest it might be in the same rarefied ~~heights~~ depths as "Nothing But Trouble"... (Reply to this)(Parent)

	I suspect it's partly the fans getting their hopes up way too high beforehand, in addition to the bad movie-ness. (Reply to this)(Parent)
