In Australia we have Medicare, I don't know how a first world country functions without robust public health services. ![]()
Blade runner. In preparation for the sequel.
I saw Red. *sighs*
IT'S ALWAYS ABOUT YOU! YOU DON'T CARE ABOUT "US"
*bawls*
Fuck that, it's brilliant and should be mandatory for anyone who loves film. It blew my mind as a youngster and I've never looked at movies in the same way since.

Holy crap guys, what the hell is going on with the water in LA? Hope you're recovering well Teague, wishing you well from the other side of the planet.
Sucker Punch had no interest in depth; methinks Mr. Snyder was geeking out and making a tribute to the things he loves in cinema.
Yes, the fantasy sequences should have had a through line and been shorter, the voice overs should have been scrapped, young Freddie Mercury should have been presented differently, and the film should have ended with the hammer blow.
And *still* I heart what this film is trying to do. I love the producers for getting it made, and while they won't make a huge return on the investment it will certainly make it's money back. It grossed $90 million worldwide from the box office, the DVD, rental, broadcast will pick up the rest.
The result is have this wonderful, terrible film replete with thigh-high stockings, short skits and swords. It's carved a special place in my collection for sheer fucking audacity.
I think one of the biggest mistakes you can make with Suckerpunch is to watch is as if it's a western film. It's not; it's pure Asian cinema. And I can see how that's kind of a problem, all things considered.
<edit> Maggot1300 and I were talking about Pan's Labyrinth last night and have a similar opinion on that as well (although, that's not Korean Cinema with hot white girls). </edit>
I'm not sure if there's already a thread on this, a search didn't turn up anything obvious.
Watched this for the first time tonight on Blurry and while this is by no means a perfectly put together film, and I can see why it didn't do well at the box office, kinda loved it.
Before launching into a discussion here, is this going to be covered by an episode in the near future?
See, now I'm going to have to watch this damn thing ![]()
You had me at the canned laughter.
Gentlemen, well done. Once of your best critical commentaries in a long time.
