I do not think you understand what Snyder is trying to do in any of the 3 movies you mention. What’s weird is that you don’t seem to want to…. not sure which comment you were replying to with the “no i get it.” so maybe I shouldn’t push it. context context context.

Ah, you’re giving commands, Mr. first name only guy. How novel!
Nothing says “i respect your thoughts on feminism” like a man rudely telling a woman what she should go do. Bravo!

I can’t tell if you genuinely didn’t understand Luna’s comment (or refuse to), or are just trolling because you have a childish sense of humor and enjoy being mean. But in case you genuinely didn’t get it – she didn’t write that Sucker Punch is a historical narrative. She’s wrote that sucker punch dared to show how ugly men are to women. She went on to make her real point, which was a supportive statement about taking the time to address those shallow criticisms which completely misunderstand controversial movies.

Changing the topic (from the feminism of Sucker Punch), so you can imply someone cannot differentiate between fiction and non fiction is pointless and destructive. I hope you can see that by missing the point, you have only contributed a distracting negativity. I hope that you’ll try harder to take part in the next conversation about feminism and/or Sucker Punch.

Do not compare this kitch drivel to the well researched historical narrative Roots. Learn the difference between Fiction and Non-fiction

No, I get it. That does not dismiss that it is a bad movie. All positive reviews mirror those of Donnie Darko, or grasp at straws to find any validation thanks to that year in college with the really cool prof. It does objectify and demean these girls. The costumes were designed and sized to fit these actresses, so the intent was for them to be skimpy.

Yes, 300 objectified men and women. The sex scene in 300 was pornographic and uncalled for. It was just thrown in there. The sex scene(non-rape) in Watchmen was long and pointless…and a little creepy. He is a bad director clearly out only to fulfill his perverted fantasies.

Im a pervert, but this guy is discusting.

You saw the director’s cut then.
that guy is “the high roller.” If you go back and watch it again, he’s mentioned throughout the film, as the man who will be purchasing baby doll (as in : the bordello sense).
he’s not really rambling (that would imply it was random or meaningless), so much as he’s preaching a certain perspective.
Doesn’t sound like you’re into the symbolism, but it’s pointed that this uber-masculine dude (known for his part on Mad Men) is buying her like so much meat in one reality, and is lobotomizing her in another.
p.s. lobotomy isn’t a memory erasing procedure. it’s shoving a needle past your eyeball into your brain, then wiggling it around to sever connections between the two lobes. it breaks your brains ability to pass signals around, and inhibits it’s ability to function. People used to think mutilation was viable medicine for treating insane people. also, people use to commit women to insane asylums for being difficult. tons of creepy things here that are worth looking up.

I loved the film for the adventure part of it. It was really sad, and I wish that her father had gotten caught at the end. I just wanted to know, does anyone know who the guy at the end is? When she wakes up in this guy’s room, and he’s kind of ‘bought’ her, and he start rambling on about freedom and stuff, then it goes straight into the lab where they are erasing her memory. Was she dreaming? I don’t see why that part of the movie was important really, since it seems to be a random scene that makes no sense. Anyone help? Thanks

cool. Appreciate the book suggestion.
I think by “can’t find my people” I mean that when I find people who share my passion for one topic, they are inevitably alienated by my passion for some other topic. Seems like every group I’ve ever joined has had to be patient with my differences (to a point). Maybe the internet just presents an illusion that I can can find a group who shares all my major passions.

Speaking of introverts, coincidentally,
I recently ranted about the problem with being an introvert over in the Escapist forums.

the context: a darkly humored video game critic was complaining about the trend in video games towards forcing multiplayer hooks into everything. He asked what was wrong with staying home and drinking alone? At one point he noted that society seems really hostile towards the introvert.
Here is his rant: http://www.escapistmagazine.com/articles/view/columns/extra-punctuation/9967-Hating-Multiplayer-Creep

I love the guy, but I think people are deluded if they think they can get away with cutting themselves off from society. So I posted this retort to his complaint, based on something I remember from Joseph Campbell’s book on mythology

(… A couple people replied, misunderstanding the point or changing the topic.bleh. curses! not the best forum I guess)

I’ll have to read this story — sounds intriguing. I actually haven’t read much Gibson.

Sometimes I also feel that I don’t know who my people are and sometimes I’m okay with that. I don’t know — it’s a difficult feeling to describe and experience and I’m not quite sure we’re talking about the same thing. Maybe it has to do with being an introvert? There’s a new book about introverts that’s really popular at the library. I haven’t read it but I like the title: Quiet: The Power of Introverts in a World That Can’t Stop Talking

Comment on The Secret World: ideas for longevity and attraction by Landiien

Oh, no! I knew what you meant about the factions and Bilderbergs; I wasn’t trying to correct you on that!

“I’d love to see one class geared towards clicking/queuing attacks (for people who want to grind), while another class is geared towards complicated button mashing fighting.”

That’s the bit I was referring to when I mentioned there were no classes!

Glad to hear you’re going to try the trial! The game has been a total blast so far!

I should have said factions? i thought you had to choose to be part of the templars, illuminatii, or dragon order. I just meant to add a 4th faction called Bilderberg .

I will check out the trial.
