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)

The thing that I really still don't understand is the doctor. In the real world, she's sort of in charge, wants to help the girls with therapy, doesn't approve of lobotomies - essentially she would seem like a powerful ally. But in the fantasy brothel, suddenly she works for the bad guy and is helping to exploit/abuse the girls, even if she might not want to. It seems like such a weird change of character, especially since it's clear that if she knew about the abuse, she wouldn't allow it to continue.

Of course, in the asylum world she's apparently amazingly stupid. Who did she think was ordering all these lobotomies? It's not like they will make the patients physically disappear in a puff of smoke. They'll still be wandering around the asylum.

I think the way the doctor is portrayed in the brothel reflects how Baby Doll sees her. She sees the doctor as just another person that Blue pushes around as he sees fit. The fact that the doctor isn't another of Blue's pieces isn't something Baby Doll is aware of, so it doesn't get incorporated in her fantasy worlds.

I'm also guessing she's not the only doctor there so she figured other doctors were approving the lobotomies and only discovered what Blue was doing because Baby Doll left such an impression on her. My guess would be that all the doctors thought the other doctors were approving the lobotomies.

But Baby Doll does know she's in charge to some extent. Blue tells her when he takes her to the "theater" in the beginning. Also, you'd think with all this lobotomizing going on, someone somewhere would have checked the paperwork - or Doctor Icepick would have mentioned it to some doctor at some point. You'd think the doctors would talk to each other about their patients.

Still, your explanation makes as much sense as any. I need to remind myself to not overthink this movie at all, as hunting for logic in a movie with bazooka wielding samurai is just asking for trouble.
