Entry tags: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)

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.

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.

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.

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.

This person is totally mockworthy. I just mean the gripe I keep seeing pop up over and over.

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.

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

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."

I've no patience for poor men and their poor reverse sexism.

It was one in a long line of people condoning the 'lads' culture in Sporting news. I find it insufferable.

I guess my expectations were too high. It's a regional thing.

British Celebrity gets in trouble = he makes a sexist remark

American celebrity gets in trouble = he kills twelve on a meth-fueled spree, defaces the Statue of Liberty.

And if he were a Republican politician, I think he could possibly even get away with that, depending on how much he cried and publicly begged God's forgiveness afterwards. That senator from Louisiana who paid hookers to put him in diapers even got re-elected.

Okay, maybe he wouldn't be able to get away with killing twelve. Unless they were immigrants of color.

Nah, he'd REALLY get away with it if he could play the guitar real good.
