Meatgirl empowerment propaganda.

It's a movie for those faux feminists who always talk about hear me roar but always go from one boyfriend to the next.

No way, this is totally for dudes.

I already hate this movie.

Looks pretty terrible, but I'm happy that Scott Glenn is successfully picking up the slack left by David Carradine chokebating himself to death.

that's cool that a hot girl needs to fantasize like an angry dude in order to escape.  It's Axe Bodyspray: the movie.

Yeah, but have you SEEN movies made for women?  Yeesh!  Hey, broads!  Go watch Eat Pray Love and then make me some dinner, am I right, guys?

well, i'm sure modage and myself will see it, enjoy it and forget about it, as it was intended.

[modage]

I don't love this new trailer, but yeah you're totally right.  That's what's going to happen.

I guess that's how zack snyder's movies make that cash to fund his next films, by being enjoyed and forgotten.
but there's certain fun that is to be derived from not enjoying his films - moreso than any other filmmaker right now.  I mean, it's easy to shit on transformers or funny games, and relatively straightforward too - you show discontent and everyone gets it.  but a zack snyder movie - he gets so many things gorgeously wrong that it's possible to be disgusted by entirely legitimate and unrelated reasons.  you can call him soulless QT (or even more soulless), you can call him scott pilgrims minus wit, you can go so far with each criticism and have so much fun with it.  his bad films bear repeating 'cause everytime you watch it you can get offended by all the different frameworks and keep on coming up with ways to be disgusted.  why would anyone want to enjoy something that's sooo meant to be torn apart is beyond me.  

he's the tea party of hacks.

^WERD. I've been on her face for awhile.

I watched this last night. It sucked but the girl that's in it is so pretty. She has the most beautiful lips I've ever seen.

I ain't gonna lie, I thought she was under 18 and only made this post when I found out she was actually 20.

Director's Cut Of 'Sucker Punch' 18 Minutes Longer, Will Feature Full Musical Number
Source: The Playlist

"Sucker Punch" opens tomorrow, and reviews are beginning to trickle out this morning. While you'll have to wait a bit for our full assessment we'll say this: we agree with the general consensus out there. But for better or worse, the film is a Zack Snyder fantasy writ very, very large but even he has to play by the rules. With the studio requiring a PG-13 rating for the film, it was inevitable that the helmer would have to make cuts to get it there. As Emily Browning recently revealed, a steamy scene between her and Jon Hamm got the axe for being too sensual, but it appears that's just the tip of the iceberg. We caught up with Zack Snyder's wife and his producing partner Deborah Snyder during press rounds for the film, and she revealed they had to make multiple edits to the film to get it squared away with ratings folks adding, that some big sequences didn't make the theatrical version of the movie. "There's 18 minutes of extra footage," Deb Snyder said. "A lot of more battle sequences, a lot of content things—we had to go back to the MPAA like five times—we were able to put back. The biggest thing we took out of the film, in the credit sequence we have the [musical montage] of [Roxy Music's] "Love Is The Drug" (sung by Carla Gugino and Oscar Issac) and that was actually conceived as a glimpse of what life was like in the every day brothel world and the shows they put on. It was actually at the beginning of the movie in its entirety, but we took it out because when we put it in the film it just looked like the place was too much fun and there wasn't enough jeopardy. It was really elaborate and beautiful and in the next sequence Baby Doll [Emily Browning] is crying to get out and [it didn't work tonally]." Speaking with Collider, Zack Snyder elaborates on how the tone was a difficult, but reveals that cut footage will be on the eventual director's cut of the film. "They were just like, 'It's too creepy, it's too dark,'" Zack said. "We cut a bunch of violence—on the BluRay there's more action—[because] you can only kill so many guys [before] they go, 'No, it's rated R.' Even if they're robots or whatever, they're not into it. There were a couple scenes that crossed the line for them, even if nothing happens in them. Just the tone was wrong." Also removed from the finished film are all the dance sequences that had been planned, but that can still be glimpsed in the film's closing credit sequence. "...it's something we really liked so we thought wow, we can use it in the end titles," Deborah Snyder told us. "But so much work was put into it and the girls really loved it because they had to learn these big elaborate dance numbers that we felt like could live on in the extended cut." But before Snyder fans get too bummed out, there is plenty of spectacle in the movie so don't worry about not getting enough bang, fishnets, robots and Nazi zombies for your hard earned buck. "Sucker Punch" opens tomorrow.

Unfortunately not the case. Saw it last night, it's a disaster.  Review soon...

I have to hand it to Snyder.  He makes movies that I know will suck, but I also know I will watch.

I am extremely confident this movie will be terrible, but I will definitely see it.  And not in the same way that I'll see Transformers 3.

It's the first time he's not relying on adapting other people's work to get a movie out. That should be good for something, but this still looks entirely derivative. When I see the trailer it reminds of Skycaptain and the World of Tomorrow meets Planet Terror, or something. It looks like a pretty cool ride, but I don't want to sit in a theater to see it. Watchmen was good ONCE, that was when I saw it in the theater. I bet I'll like about 75% of this and then it'll really get tired and I won't want to touch it again. It's all that green screen bullshit. Oh, and I'm glad to know other people here hate his films. So many people said his Dawn of the dead was an improvement on the original, I wanted to choke them so hard.
