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)

WHITE TEXTED IN CASE THIS DOESN'T GET COLLAPSED ASAP. Uh, trigger warnings I suppose?

I could be missing some but I can only recall three what I would call straight-up rape attempts during the course of the film and none of them are successful.

1) In the opening sequence, where in a very lovely/CREEPFUCKINGTACULAR montage we get the setup: Babydoll's mother passes away, possibly due to murder by her step-father. Heavy implication that he killed her for the money. Unfortunately it pans over her will stating that EVERYTHING is left to her two daughters, Babydoll and her little sister. Cue drunken rage by the Step-Father, who gets the bright idea to approach Babydoll in her room. He leers at her and makes an attempt on her, but she fights him off without all that much trouble - unfortunately then he gets the better idea to lock her in her room alone while he murders her little sister. When she sneaks out of the house, steals his gun and runs back in to save her sister, Babydoll is too late. She is framed for the murder.

2) After the imaginary world sequence begins, the asylum is viewed instead as a brothel/cabaret/club/whathaveyou, where the girls have to work menial chores as well. Rocket is in the kitchen and is caught stealing chocolate when the Cook pushes her down. This is probably the most extended It-Almost-Happens scene in the whole film and I'm pretty sure you're supposed to feel insanely uncomfortable by it. In any case, Babydoll is outside cleaning when she hears the commotion, comes in, steals the Cook's knife and pulls it against his throat telling him to get his hands off Rocket. He backs off, the two girls run out of the kitchen and back into the hall. That is how Babydoll starts talking to the other girls, who had previously been more or less pitying but otherwise indifferent to her. Sort of implied that this isn't the first time this happens when they mention that it isn't common to have someone stand up for you like that and that no one has done that before. I should also note that this film is only PG-13, nothing is shown and it looks like 'all' he did was get her forced down and pinned BUT I COULD BE MIS-REMEMBERING. It's the extended focus on the scene that makes it VERY discomforting even though very little actually appears to happen.

3) In the finale after Babydoll gets lobotomized, Blue has been leering on her for some time. When they bring her back to her room his intentions are pretty clear. The other orderlies tell him that this is wrong, skeevy, and they aren't going to be party to it anymore. Blue tells them to get the fuck out, leaving him alone with Babydoll. He kisses her and goes on for a bit about how she needs to be here with him, but before he can do more than that Doctor Gorski busts in with the police because thanks to Babydoll his whole corrupt underworking system has been found out, his ass is getting arrested, and there's the implication that Babydoll's step-father is going to be taken down as well as Blue can be heard yelling about him as the police drag him away.

There is the implication that prior to this abuse of the patients had been fairly commonplace, which I imagine is much what you would expect from an institution taking place in that era.
