Huh, the government seems to have tools to make companies comply. Strange.

The Right Hook
I saw SuckerPunch.
In brief: I liked it.
Expanded: It's essentially Alice in Wonderland meets Inception in a mental institution.
And Zack Snyder dresses up his girls like fetish dolls.
The plot was bizarre and the dialog was corny, but let's face it: if you saw the trailer, you didn't go expecting Shakespeare. Nice twist at the end.
And the effects were dazzling. Seriously dazzling.
I regret nothing.
[Edit] To be clear: SuckerPunch is pretty much brain candy. It creates brain cavities.
Mmm... brain candy...
The plot was pretty f*cked up and very trashy. The story is told in three levels. The first two levels are decidedly boring. The third, FX-heavy, level was worth the price of admission.
If you like ridiculous FX-laden battle scenes out of an insane video game, this is the movie for you.[/Edit]

Sucker-age?
AICN has two reviews of sublime hate for SuckerPunch.
Won't stop me from seeing this pretty-looking steaming pile (let's face it, did anyone really think it would have a good plot?). I mean, I like movies like Machine Girl and Alien vs Ninja. My tolerance for cinematic crap is pretty high in certain areas.
The reviews:
Ambush Bug's review
Massawyrm's review
I've seen blurbs that SFGate didn't like the film. I had to sit down in shock. /sarcasm
Salon's review was surprisingly-positive... kinda.
This ought to be a hoot.

Suckers
Tomorrow is the opening night for SuckerPunch
While I'm stoked to see such a cheese-tacular movie, I have to admit, Multiplex probably gets it right
[Edit]
Twitch gives it a review. An unsurprising review.
Mind you, this isn't dissuading me from wanting to see the movie. I know exactly what to expect.
Just sayin'.

Understanding is a Three-Edged Sword
I've been back on a "Babylon-5" kick of late.
Just finished one of the mini-arcs of Season Three and felt myself getting all giddy after one of the obligatory space battles.
Nothing quite satisfies like an FX-laden, "pew-pew", space battle, even if the FX in question are a bit dated.

Lunacy
Is it really only Tuesday?
Not even halfway through the week and I've seen far more tears than I ever expected and all due to thoughtlessness (or malignancy) on the part of others who should know better. I've seen friendships I'd believed to be solid vanish like smoke in a strong breeze.
Half of the people I know are either sick or believe they're getting sick (I think I'm one of that half, I say... sniffling slightly).
We're bombing yet another country. What's that now? Three nations we're screwing around in? What the hell? Fighting in one country isn't enough of a drain on our resources? We've got to blaze into three? What the hell? Nobody in Washington thinks the craptacular economy is serious enough?
What a time to get on the wagon...
