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)

OKAY I AM TL;DRING THE FUCK OUT OF THIS AND I AM SO SORRY IN ADVANCE.

But I loved it and here is why:

Ditto, and a part of me wonders if the other girls weren't fragments/figments of Sweet Pea's imagination - parts of herself that she had to 'give up' to be free (I PERHAPS OVERTHINK EVERYTHING). I mean, the girl WAS sent to a mental hospital (admittedly in a time where mouthing off could probably get you sent to one if you were a girl) for apparently only running away from home with her sister.

I also enjoyed the ending, though I understand why people don't like it. I liked it for the same reason why I love the ending to Revolutionary Girl Utena or Pan's Labyrinth. I hate endings where "WHELP MAIN CHARACTER DIES WHY THE FUCK DID YOU SIT IN THIS THEATER FOR AN HOUR AND A HALF? HAHA JOKE IS ON YOU." because as far as I'm concerned that makes a movie/series/what have you a big fucking failure and a waste of time.

But Babydoll's 'death' wasn't that. Sweet Pea escaped. Blue got his ass caught and arrested before he could take advantage of Babydoll's lobotomized state thus saving countless other girls and turning the whole fucking thing around because the other orderlies were also all "Okay no we are fed up with this, you're an asshole and this is wrong." AND as Blue is getting dragged off you can hear him yelling to the cops about how it was all the Step-Father's fault - so we can infer that HE'S going to get appropriately punished as well. I have to wonder if Amber, Blondie and Rockett died in 'realspace' as well (assuming they ever existed outside of templates of other girls used to create them in Sweet Pea/Babydoll's fantasy world) as when the Doctor Gorski tells the Lobotomizer at the end all the 'trouble' Babydoll has been in various plot points throughout the movie come up but the death of three girls there is never mentioned. Considering Babydoll was involved in all of those in the fantasy, you'd have think that would have been brought up as well, at least in passing.

Babydoll mattered, and by being there she changed everything for the better even if it meant a bad ending for her.

Also re: the Angel, I figured that both Babydoll and the Wise Man were one in the same and the angel, metaphorically speaking.
