Last movie watched...

[Professor Bear]

Sucker Punch is terrible in so many ways, but I always like to point out that characters are losing boss fights until they use power-ups, and that several scenes revolve around them finding the right object to progress further - literal video game logic used instead of screenwriting ability.

I actualy find it one of his more enjoyable ventures, as it's not violating any previously esstablished property in the process.

If Denis-Pierre Filippi and Terry Dodson had braver lawyers, you wouldn't be able to make this claim.  Songes is a graphic novel they published several years before Sucker Punch was announced, about an attractive young lady who escapes into pulpish fictional scenarios - which involve erotic clothing - to escape feelings of isolation after moving to a big house for Reasons.

I really like Sucker Punch but I've given up trying to justify why I think it's good.

[GordonR]

Sucker Punch - puerile, misogynistic shite that wants to pretend it's about female empowerment and overcoming sexual exploitation by men, while sexually exploiting its young female cast and sleazily dressing them up as wank fantasy schoolgirl sex dolls.

Thryllseekyr would love it.

[Hawkmumbler]

GordonR sum's up why I should hate it oh so eloquently. Yet somehow I find the whole movie to excessive and OTT it somehow regains a few points as just being so damn...bodacious.

I wish I said all that! Except the last part, and I think the old dude who was helping them all along, offering advice and such to get them through to the next scenario is the real villain and Rocket-Girl was the hottest one there. Pity she had to die!

Every time this is on television, I hide behind the computer like I always do try to avoid the horrible clichés bits that were done just to allow the actress's to feel that were doing something edgy and that nobody else had the guts to do this in this way.

All of this written without naming forum rivals like the you know who's.

I had to take toilet break right about when Joe Cage/Michael Madson must have entered the cabin

Yeah, did I say I meant the whole time he was in the cabin, I'm only saying so, cause I suddenly notice he was there when I got back. Barely minute to had off to the lobby and barely another to point Percy at the porcelain. Which is easier considering a condition I complained about somewhere else on this forum because these urinal seemed to be designed for catch what ever type of spray I need to make to empty my bladder. It's like they knew about my problem and this is worth considering when looking for somebody or something to blame.

You know, they had probably just started building that shopping centre as I got back from lengthy working holiday down south for few years. That was in 2005, and the same year my problem had occurred, but months later and the place was still being built, but already operational by 2008 when I found employment as a cleaner for two hours day for barely fifteen dollars a hour for a couple of month.

I think when I might have been noticed eagerly feather dusting the privates of some many female naked store mannequins. You know the ones that are just reduced to limbless torso or in this case a pair of hips cut off at the waist and thighs.

Anyway, now, I'm just wondering if anybody had anything to do with my condition...down there

it's like I've been slimed down there, might the explained the fungal infection and the result!

I got slimed while sleeping semi nude in my very own bed.

Does anybody here realise the audacity of some people given that I was pretty much keeping to myself during those months.

Like a scene from Ghostbusters while they were at the Sedgewick Highrise Hotel.

That would be something, wouldn't it? Sadly I think this bottom-poster is just not taking a hint, rather than actively trying to get booted.

[GordonR]

TS - no-one here - no-one at all - wants to hear what happens with you when you go to the toilet.

Or any mad nonsense about who's out to get you this week.

Please, FFS, start taking your medication.

[Professor Bear]

I know I live on the other side of the planet, but I still want to know about it the actual microsecond he gets a gun.

[Mardroid]

TS: I mean this kindly: share the condition you just described with the doctor. Not on here. Don't leave it to get worse, certainly.

Percy? I confess that made me laugh. The name. Not the problem.

And share any other issues, physical as well as any worries you have with the doctor while you are there. They can at least point you in the right direction if they can't help you themselves.

I wish you well. But time, and place, etc.

And leave the mannequins alone. 😊

So yeah. Um. Films. I've got a few I've bought, or were bought for me as yesteryear Christmas or birthday presents I never got round to watching including:

Maniac Cop
Dead Snow 2 - I bought this by accident as someone stuck a sticker over the number 2. So I'll catch the first, er , first.
Pacific Rim - this was a gift. It never appealed to me, but I've heard good things about it.
Casino Royale - The first Craig Bond film not the parody.*
Some adult take on Snow White based film whose name I forget. By 'adult take' I don't mean pornography. Although I'm sure such a thing exists...
Inception- I started it, but was not in the right frame of mind to continue, and never really felt like going back. Surprising as the premise is right up my street.

I know this is a 'last film you've seen' thread not a 'what do you want to watch next', but any recommendations from that lot? Which I will duly write about here of course.

*James Bond films are peculiar in that I rarely feel that fussed to watch them, but usually enjoy them when I do.

[Greg M.]

Pacific Rim - this was a gift. It never appealed to me, but I've heard good things about it.

Give it a try. When everyone on here was raving about it, I never bothered with it, 'cos it didn't sound like my kind of thing. I was wrong - it's great, and it has a bloody wonderful soundtrack.

[I, Cosh]

Just back from seeing Legend of the Seven Golden Vampires at the endearingly ramshackle backyard cinema round the corner. An endearingly silly studio/genre mashup. Although the balance is probably too much in favour of the Hammer shite for my tastes, there was just about enough Shaw Brothers silliness to keep me entertained for 90 minutes.

Don't think I'll bother going back for Blacula though.

[Hawkmumbler]

For shame! Blacula (and it's sequel) are excellently excesses in exploitation cinema!
