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)

	Very spoilery, pretty much positive, reviews and comments in Leupagus's entries on Dreamwidth and Livejournal, for anyone who'd like to hear more. (Reply to this)(Thread)

Ooh, thanks for the links! I agree with a lot of what this person said... Though I guess I can't entirely say what Snyder's intentions were with this, I definitely felt like there was an intentional portrayal of the conflicting and often hypocritical way female sexuality is presented.

I do think it's worth noting that Snyder's stated in an interview that Sweet Pea was sort of intended to be the mouth piece for him and the idea of the film, particularly her (incredibly meta, and obviously intentionally so) first line about the grossness of sexualizing a helpless girl, and her later comment about how she prefers her dancing to be personal instead of made just exploitative titillation, which could easily be a metaphor about women's sexuality itself, and how it's often just treated as a show for men.

IDK IDK, I am probably giving this movie more thought than it deserves, but it's sticking in my head for some reason, and though it's definitely not for everyone and can be an uncomfortable movie, I hesitate to completely write it off.
