Review of CHAPPiE is half a sarcastic plot summary, half complaints about realism. Another fine input into the Rotten Tomatoes aggregation process.

Yeah uh what the gently caress, did I watch the same CHAPPiE as everyone who hated it, or do I just stan so hard for Blomkamp's aesthetic and style that all the dumb poo poo just miraculously didn't look dumb to me?

He's a weird dude. Like, super weird. Like, my girlfriend thought he was drunk during the one conversation they had even though he doesn't drink.

Thumbs up to the Claremont joke.

And for the record: My current main squeeze mainly just hangs out with me and her ex-husband. It actually appears to be a healthy relationship that isn't too weird and is probably not all that likely to lead to funny posts about bad decisions.

Other than trying to write some fanfic to read aloud at an event she's planning, anyway.

Random Wiki Quote of the Day:

quote:

Donkey Punch, a pornographic film premised around the act, was released by JM Productions in 2005. The film consists of four scenes in which the male actors engage in rough sex with their female co-stars, punching them repeatedly in the head and body throughout. In response to her experience on the set, performer Alex Divine allegedly stated "Donkey Punch was the most brutal, depressing, scary scene that I have ever done," and commented that "I actually stopped the scene while it was being filmed because I was in too much pain."

The viciousness of the film prompted Peter van Aarle of Cyberspace Adult Video Reviews to forego covering any further releases from JM, while Zack Parsons of Something Awful (which awarded Donkey Punch a near-"perfect" score of -49) wrote that the film was "one of the most morally repugnant pornographic movies I have seen" and "is the sort of movie that the government would cite when trying to arrest pornographers and outlaw pornography."

I kinda wished I hadn't jumped the gun and instead posted a quote from the company's article:

quote:

On 21 May 2001 the company's offices were raided by twenty officers from the LAPD. The officers confiscated several bukkake-themed videos. In response Jeff Steward stated, "Some guy swims in feces on MTV, and that's OK? But for a girl to swallow 80 loads of cum is obscene? I dont think so." On the evening of the raid, Jim Powers was in North Hollywood filming another bukkake film. In reference to what he considered the injustice of the raid, he announced to the men involved, "We're doing this for all of America".

Yeah, but, in defense of Puritanical obscenity-police, who I don't agree with implicitly, the Jackass guys are well-meaning comrades who, as far as I know, have never treated one of their members to this for refusing to do a stunt:

quote:

Throughout each sequence, the male performers slap, punch, gag, kick, stomp, strangle, yell at, pull the hair of, and spit on their female co-stars. The segments conclude with the actor ejaculating into the actress's anus as he repeatedly strikes the back of the woman's head (the eponymous "donkey punches"). The exception to this is the third scene, which ends prematurely due to Alex Devine [from my second post up] forcing Steven French (who she had repeatedly requested remove his ring, and to not punch "the wrong side" of her head) to stop. This leads to a short intermission (shot by French) in which directors Grip and Cram Johnson mock Devine, making statements like, "This loving bitch, hosed up the most important part of the movie!" and "There's no wrong spot to hit a woman!" as they have Devine lick up French's semen.
