re: Sucker Punch. The most fun I've had at the theatre in a long time.

This is an example of a "bad movie" that I actually enjoyed. I don't consider myself a movie snob, but I would like for a script to not be so bad that it is openly mocked in theaters. That's just me though.

there's a huge difference imo betwen peddling sex (which is pretty much at the heart of 90% of hollywood entertainment) and child porn. mtv is getting away with the latter while we chase with gusto and throw in jail people who download porn and grab the occasional underage image.

can u safely say you've never looked at a picture of a minor when surfing porn?

when i was at lsu, the seedy gas station behind fred's and SI had DOZENS of tracey lords movies that could be legally rented. a year later it came out she was underage..so what..? everyone over the age of 18 at lsu at the time that watched those is now guilty of buying child porn? they all should now be labelled sex offenders and put into a national database? ignorance is no excuse..? apparently not because those creeps hansen catches pretty much know life as they used to know it is now over for them and all they did was show up at a house where someone who isn't even actually underaged (cop actress) is.

eta i'm done..this is going to go around and around and vor is licking his chops. my point was there is a double standard at work here where hollywood gets away with stuff that would cause an average joe to go away to jail for years. "untouchable"

as for whoopie..i was pointing out someone who is supposedly for women's rights and shite quickly sold out the 13 year old girl who was drugged and raped so she could suck up to her politically correct director scumbag buddy. and it wasn't just her..it was TONS AND TONS of hollywood elite people. scumbags. all of them.

Critical discussion of film is one of the joys of being a true movie fan.

Sucker Punch was a good movie. Good action scenes and the girls in the film were not teenagers. I mean babydoll is lised as 20 on the form and the other actresses are in their 20s and clearly look like women in their 20s.

FWIW, I do agree that there is a lot of hypocrisy in our law system. Polanski's arse should be in the clink right now.

Not much to do with hypocrisy. The a-hole just beat it out of the country and is trying to avoid extradition. His arse would have been in the clink had he stayed.

For example, the legal age of consent is 16 in South Carolina, so legally speaking, I and every other adult male in this state not directly related to her can run a train on her (provided she is willing) and there is no legal case against it.

Any good lawyering jobs up your way? How are housing prices?

MTV doesn't throw up child porn on tv bruh, no one does. They are implying that teens have sex; THEY DO!

Correct.

Just saw it. Movie was AWESOME in IMAX. This is going to go right next to Zombieland on the guilty pleasures list.

is it ok if mtv only rolls the cameras on the door closing as 2 underage kids are going to have sex in the next room? i guess everything is cool in that case

---

obviously this would be ok

i don't even know what mtv did wrong. did they show nudity or sex acts? not that i know of

I didn't know what the hell I watched, but I know it was frucking awesome!

Seriously, I could pick apart its flaws (it had many). But I enjoyed the movie for what it was, and isn't that what it's all about?

Despite it being elementary, the "metaphor" of Baby "using her weapons" was different, in a good way (although I wouldn't have minded seeing her dance instead of watching her rip zombie/nazi/samurai faces off. She was gorgeous). The cinematography was top notch; Zach owns the green screen. The sound (in IMAX) was jaw-dropping. The action sequences were epilepsy-inducing mind jobs. Those aspects were very well crafted.

The dialogue was missing something, certainly. The entire time the cast was talking, I was hoping they would get back to shooting things soon. The plot was thin, but enough to stick it all together. It was never so bad it became distracting.

I think this movie is for movie "fans," in that it was a fun experience. As far as being critical, it was a great film from the technical side of things, but won't win any Best Actor Oscars. Worth seeing at the theatre though!

So far out of three Sucker Punch threads, you and dualed are the only two posters to talk negatively about it.

Like I told ya, I can see why you wouldn't like it. Just don't know why your acting like it's one of the worst movies ever. I doubt you seriously think that. But it is fun to debate either way.
