Anyway, just ran into this:
In Defense of ‘Sucker Punch’ – Uncovering the Method Behind Zack Snyder’s Madness

Stopped reading when it mentioned PART II: FEMINISM FOR DUDES....
If it was possible, I want to see the movie even less now.
I dunno... I get that Alice in Wonderland (with Depp) vibe from it. I have that movie on DVD and no matter how many times I attempt to watch it, I can't make it past the first thirty or forty minutes of it. I get bored. I get up and go to the kitchen for a sandwich. I take a nice long ---steaming pile of meadow muffin--- on the loo. I look at pron on the internet. I return to the movie hoping it's already over.
I'm not sure what's missing but those movies simply don't grab my attention.

. . . you're reviewing this flick without having actually seen it, how do you know its fodder?

This makes my skin crawl. I refuse to believe that anybody actually lives their life this way. I don't believe it's even possible, let alone that anyone would choose to do something so masochistic. However, if I'm wrong and you're being sincere, here are a few concepts that you might want to familiarize yourself with:
- Deduction
- Extrapolation
- Evidence: trailers, reviews, word-of-mouth, track-record, marketing, basic plot (i.e. this is a movie about PG-13 sex kittens karate kicking and gunning their way out of the bad guy's clutches -- you know that much going in)
- Probabilities
Also, mortality . . . I know it's cliche, but time's valuable. You only have so much of it.
Let me put this into terms that are easy to understand. What if a random homeless guy asked you if you wanted to lick his back? Would you do it? Cos, like, how do you know it wouldn't be awesome? Have you ever tried it? How do you know that lava will burn you? I mean, you've been burned by fire before. And hot pans. But maybe you should put your hand in lava just to be sure. God knows you can't trust what other people tell you about it, or even your own instincts based on an entire life's worth of experiences.

Awww shucks shmokes, that wall of text for me?. Heres what I was getting at: Xouche2 reviews EVERYTHING, from ultimarc buttons(well all their products) to movies without having actually seen or used them; a point you seem to be glossing over. My post had little to do with the movie (which I have no interest in, hence the Scott Pilgrim remark) and more with how he can do so much reviewing with so little seeing/using.
kk thnx bai
PS:I know what your getting at, I feel I have to reply to that as well. There's nothing wrong with not going to see a movie because it gets bad reviews; its another thing to give it bad reviews because it got bad reviews and not have seen it.

Can't wait to hear Danny tear into this POS flick. Not that I had high expectations for something with such a stellar title, but come ON!
