Star Trek: The Motion Picture is a boring movie
You can trace nearly every director from New Hollywood back to Roger Corman.

Just watched Blood Machines, the soundtrack is great and it's got some nice visuals. Not much of a story though but lots of naked ladies. Also Iran conquered space. Congrats Iran.

I'm not a troll, I really do enjoy that film. The friend I saw it with loved it even more and he's a big fan of music videos so I think that's a big part of the appeal. It's like Music Video The Movie.

Frankly I've always been bemused by the fact so few people share my feelings about the film. Usually in situations like this I understand why other people hate the movie I love, but I really don't see what's so bad about Sucker Punch.
Nice try, but only a troll would set people up with the rapidly-deprecating proper usage of "bemused"

A real hellraiser



Nah it would be good. The studio tore the fuckin film apart, commissioned two edits, one by a trailer company and neither by the original director and blended them together themselves. It's why you have utterly baffling things like every character having three intros and half put together story arcs and why there's a bunch of pop songs that don't fit. The original was almost all hip hop.

Originally, and this was filmed, Harley ended up together with Deadshot. Cut out because the studio was racist. Diablo lived. Whole bunch of stuff.

It is a guarantee that any Ayer put together version would be way more cohesive and make more sense.

Like this for example. I genuinely have no clue what you're talking about when you say Sucker Punch is insulting and disgusting.

I don't think anyone answered this, and I apologize for dredging it up, but I figured I had some thoughts on the subject.

The problem with Sucker Punch, beyond being a teenage boy's fantasy made film, is it's basically Violence Against Women: The Movie. You might say, "Aha, but it had strong female characters!", and you would be wrong. The main character's ability is to use her sexuality to distract the men in the film from hurting her and the other women. It also doesn't work, they're almost all killed by the men, and of the two that survive, one gets lobotomized.

It's incredibly gross if you spend even a minute to consider what's happening in the film, and trying to sell it as some "female action hero" empowerment vehicle is just perverse in the extreme.

Nudity was extremely important to the sexploitation genre, but in a world where nearly everyone has unlimited access to free pornography on the internet, we don't really need sexploitation movies any more.

Like, do they even make softcore porn anymore? HBO and Cinemax (lol Skinemax) quit showing "adult" content within the past five years, 'cuz what's the freaking point? Meanwhile, Showtime shows heavily edited hardcore porno movies where they just cut out every second of anything to do with the genitals, which... :lol:!

Started watching it because Lapkus is pretty funny, but man does she need a new agent. Between this and that Holmes and Watson, she's taking just garbage roles. Unless she's just looking to make friends with Adam Sandler and live on easy street for the rest of her life.

Got through about 30 minutes, seems like her only directions were "be weird ... weirder!" Fast-forwarded to the end just to confirm that it does indeed follow the formula and her and David Spade wind up together in the end which is pretty hosed up based on just seeing the beginning. There's no sequence of events that could make it OK.

Also, some fat guy ate Nick Swardson. And David Spade has gotten so old that movies now have to have his inappropriate romantic pairings explicitly go "I'm OK with the huge age gap between us."

studios can be dogshit dumb when they're chasing what they think the audience wants while having the control to inflict their vision on a director; peak stupid can occur when a studio is handed a fully finished product that they assume they can still control, just like was only big reel of dailies

like one of the biggest examples i can think of was once upon a time in america which had a version cut for what studios thought american audiences wanted and it was quite possibly the worst mainstream film released in 1984, whereas the unmodified version nearly does a full 180 and swings around to being an all-time classic

this is amazing

I was expecting it to be goofy porno acting but it's like they're all actually acting their part and the plot revolves around the alternate universe tasha yar that was sela's mother so that denise crosby could come back in season 4

I was half suspecting you just tricked me into watching a tng fan film but then there just keeps being hard edits where presumably the porn segments started up

I approved of the T&A aspect of Sucker Punch but claiming it was about empowerment or some poo poo was pretty :laffo:

Shame it wasn't a very good movie. Zero re-watches to this day.

T&A alone is no substitute for a quality flick.

"Oooh, got a little too serious. You okay there, little buddy?"
Was it this thread talking about Hellraiser recently? I watched 1 & 2 today because people were saying those were the good ones. They were right about 1, awesome special effects scenes and a creepy story. 2 starts out kind of coherent but just ends with a bunch of scenes stapled together with no real connective tissue to help you understand what the point is. Some interesting ideas I guess, but everything starts to break down to stuff happening just because.
