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)

Can I direct you to The A-Team Movie? Specifically Charissa Sosa - a sterling example of wholesale badass, independent, self-aware, professional woman WITHOUT a victim-centric backstory or plot relevance. She's a JOY. (Jessica Biel's a bloody awful actor, but the character is a GEM)

I don't think for a second that victim-heroines undergo trial by rape to toughen them up. I think it's more to instantly expose them for the vulnerable, precious, things in need of protection that they are. YUCK. :(

	Oooh! scribbles down rec True, it does seem to be a host of things, all exploitative. :( I just want more women with agency in movies. ...that are not relegated to the role of "girlfriend," or "fridging material." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

Another rec

Doomsday (it's a bit gory)

Maj. Eden Sinclair - I've never seen a female character like her. She's a soldier - it's her job, she's good at it, she likes it, and her choice of profession is never called into question. It's difficult to sum her up completely without spoiling the whole damned movie, but just imagine a law-enforcing, female Snake Plisskin, who loves her mum, and that's Sinclair. ♥

	I actually heard about that a few weeks ago, and have been searching for a copy ever since! So many excellent suggestions. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

iTunes have it for rent. But I don't know if that's UK-only. (Amazon.com have it too! :D $2.99 rental or $11 hard copy) I saw it after I'd had a really awful couple of weeks, and it cheered me up no end. :D The Bentley chase is stunning.

I love the Resident Evil films, too. But other than those, I'm out of recs. And I'm disappointed that I'm out of recs. IT SHOULDN'T BE LIKE THIS, DAMMIT!

	I second the rec, especially the scene where she nailes Patrick Wilson's character on the phone. I hate Biel as an actress, but I love me some Sosa. Bring her back with a different actress and I'll build a temple in her honor. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	I'm still quite fond of her Iraq scenes. She reduced Face to the level of Bridget Jones with one cold smirk. <3 Tbh, I could stand more Biel!Sosa. Her delivery was terribly wooden, but she GOT IT, and didn't try to make Sosa into an emotionally insecure mess. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Oh those are good ones too. She's not even one iota sorry she kicked Face to the curb to get ahead. Glorious. sighs a dreamy sigh And I'll give you Biel!Sosa, I can't think of anyone else for the role off the top of my head. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

I had a little 'Oh god, noooo!' moment at the end when she kissed him, which melted to an 'OMG YAY!' when Face produced the key she'd slipped him. *happy sigh*

Milla Jovovitch would be awesome. But I'd like to see Mary Elisabeth Mastrantonio in a kind of senior investigator role. 'Cause I can't think of anyone else who doesn't have to say ANYTHING to pwn, she just has to alight from a helicopter.

	I felt the same way! I was like all of this and you're sucking his face off what are you doing? Ohhhhhh. . . Bradley Cooper and Liam Neeson are so hot in that film. Makes me melt. And after seeing the shit fest that was "Clash of the Titans," I forgave Liam and continued my crush on him. (Reply to this)(Parent)
