That Girl Is Dope

It seems like everyone’s still on the fence about Zack Snyder’s Sucker Punch. It looks like some sort of insane hybrid of Girl, Interrupted and Sky Captain And The World Of Tomorrow. Only with dragons. And giant samurai.

Snyder needs to stop dropping acid and reading comic books.

Anyway, I think it looks like massively expensive, brainless fun. It comes out March 25th, 2011, which seems like an odd release date for what should be a tentpole flick, except that next summer is some sort of insane blockbuster movie armageddon, so I suppose that makes sense. Also, I’m predicting that it’s going to do poorly at the box office — it’ll draw in the nerds, the action movie junkies and the pedos, but given that it’s neither a name property nor a particularly well-known director (seriously, despite Watchmen and 300, I doubt the average moviegoer knows who Snyder is), I wouldn’t hold my breath for whiz-bang box office returns.

Anyway, here are five clips from the movie. Actually, clips is the wrong word. They’re each 8 seconds long, and not actual scenes, but more flashes of moments combined into sort of mini-trailers. Ridiculous, I know. But still, kind of fun.

Oh yeah — there’s robots too.

Sheesh.

Before each one there is a 10 second commercial for Gerber life insurance. I cannot think of a commercial less suited for the content of the 8 second clips, though they certainly are getting their money's worth.

Actually, March/April is the release date for weird niche R rated comic book movies. Sin City, V for Vendetta, 300, Kick Ass, Watchmen, they all have spring release dates.

This movie looks gorgeous but if it's all in her head I have a hard time thinking it will be that compelling. Like watching a video game or something.

Myrtle Beach looks awfully explody this time of year! Better play it safe and book a trip to St. Louis instead.

We'll be there! Girls, guns and dragons, oh man! What re-blooded male wouldn't?

That's reD-blooded.
Not re-blooded.
I'm not blooded at present you see. Nor am I talking about the blooded.


I'll stop now.

I'm glad you clarified that, logan. I was concerned that I'd have to take a dialysis machine to the movie.

I have a sneaking suspicion all the commenters have so far been men. Well, as a girly-girl through and through, Imma be there. *crosses fingers prays this will get released in her no-one-can-find-it-on-a-map country*

"Snyder needs to stop dropping acid and reading comic books."

Says TK.

A fair point. It is a bit of pot and kettle, isn't it. -TK
