Oh, god. I think I'm falling.
I found it amusing that Rosamund Pike managed to show everything but a nipple in that movie. Does she have a no nudity clause or something?

So did the author have a boyfriend who cheated on her, or something?

Can the movie even be misogynistic if the novel was written by a woman?

Where do you think I'm getting my opinion of this film from? I went and saw it because A)its fincher and B) the reviews were trending towards very positive, I came out thinking I must be insane because no movie had repulsed me remotely like this in a long time, and nothing in this thread comes even close to swaying me. Do you have a compelling defense for the film? It would be nice if someone presented one, especially since it sounds like I must be way off base here. I've read through the thread and it seems to be divided into two camps: those who have a similar opinion to me and those who feel like the characters were balanced in their respective failings, which even if you believe that, is no excuse for the film's prodigious use of mra memes. Come on off your high horse and make a case.

wow I didn't realize that author Gillian Flynn regularly posted in /r/TheRedPill, where'd you find this out?

So if I make a movie where the guy is revealed to be a rapist who uses physical force to get what he wants, that's a "misandrist" film, right? Because the guy uses cliched stereotypes about men?

The dude sitting in front of me kissed his female movie-watching partner at least three times during the movie.

We were on a date, okay?

Also the movie passes the Bechdel test so it can't be sexist.

Does it, though? When Amy and the trailer park girl are talking, it's about what guy beat her up and then about the harmless guy living next door. What other conversations between two women are there?
