I didn't say they were misinterpreting it as good I just don't think there's a strong intended feminist message in the movie I watched.

No, what you actually implied was that the film itself was sexist, not that it lacked a strong feminist message. That's two very different things. . But putting that aside, the film directly equates "bad rear end women in sexy outfits fighting zombies/dragons/samurai" with sexual exploitation and degredation for the benefit of men. Whatever one feels about the execution of that idea it seems silly to say that there isn't an inteded crititcism of how women are portrayed in these nerd genres where the exploitation of women is disguised by them being "able to kick rear end" or whatever.

It's funny because the film was marketed as exactly that kind of film, about women in sexy outfits killing poo poo that nerds could get hot and bothered over, and instead it was this proto-inception film about how nerds are rapists and sex pests. It's even what the title refers to!

Sucker Punch wasnt a good enough critique to avoid being seen as just another example of a film that exploits women, imo.

everyone remembers the cool parts with the rear end-kicking ladies and swords and guns and set pieces with slowdown and thumping music but nobody wants to talk about the brief instances between those moments where a woman is being systemically abused and raped by authorities and whose only possible escape from her situation is to literally lose her self.

that's the importance of scoring.

Yeah this is what made the film real bad to watch recently. I was also on mushrooms and it made it worse and never felt like it was gonna end.

Moviebob liked Sucker Punch which pretty much tells you all you need to know

Sucker Punch is the only movie so far that managed to really piss me off as I was watching it. There was a line at the end that said something along the lines of "Its okay if you don't understand my story, its really difficult" or whatever, just Snyder jerking himself off and saying what a deep movie he made.

Except its not. The entire movie is just shallow metaphors with music videos spliced inbetween.

Since we're all confessing to having awful opinions or wanting to start terrible derails the last few pages, I liked both of those Sherlock movies from the early 2010s and found a neat video of the RDJ Sherlock movies and how neat it is that they feel 'smart' somehow?

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_25BVvr8QWU

As a dummy, I always described those kinds of stories as Yu-gi-oh trap card fights or Jojo fights. 'I knew you'd do that.' 'Well I knew that you knew that I knew you would do that.' 'And I already knew that you knew that I knew that you knew that I knew that you would already make plans around that' and so on and so on.

The fundamental issue with your argument is that your saying the movie is criticising movies that use themes of female empowerment as a smokescreen to excuse a bunch of obectifying material oh whoops I just described suckerpunch exactly.

I swear to god you're gonna make me rewatch Sucker Punch just so that I don't misremember poo poo from it that somehow completely invalidates the fact that 75% of the movie is anime cosplay girls with the camera whizzing around to show off as much T&A as possible.

I wasn't trying to start a fight. I'm on a forum that actively tells me that nobody likes me, that lets posters spit out combative opinions, and I feel like I need to adopt that demeanour to keep from getting bullied off.

I use to think that and that kind of mindset is what led me to start that godawful CoD derail.

So nah, that's the wrong way to go about it. I guarantee you would have a lot more success posting in this thread if you chilled out. Sure, some aggressive weirdos may single you out to try to own you anyway (this is Something Awful after all) but your hostile posting is doing nothing but pissing everyone off. Annoying the entire thread with constant derails/slapfights is the fastest way to get chased off.

To be honest, I usually just lurk and not post much unless some stupid opinion (TLJ and "liberal brain rot") offends me into it. So I don't usually say much.

All I can do right now is provide a link to this Whang video about the Paris Hilton tape.

It was the way you said "someone watching something again". You said you were tempted to watch Sucker Punch again, so your reply suggested that you did watch Sucker Punch again, or were in the middle of watching Sucker Punch again, when you made that post.
