I’ve been messing with a few other projects lately so I’ve been on a bit of a mini-vacation from ye olde Action Pants and since I don’t get paid to do this, I don’t feel all that bad about it. Anyway, I’m back and I’m about to get all catch-up on your donuts! Oh yeah!
So the first order of business, its new trailer time! And the new trailer that I just spoke of is for the upcoming movie SUCKER PUNCH from Zack Snyder. The trailer is equal parts silly and outrageous. You may enjoy it at this link.
Alright, you know me. I’m a man and as such I like dragons, sword-fights, and giant robots. But this just seems like a load on numerous levels. Firstly, the very premise of the movie is (as far as I know) that there’s a bunch of ladies trying to escape from a mental institution by dancing burlesque and whatever; so basically, all that stuff in the trailer with the dragons and the samurai robots and shit…yeah, it’s all in someone’s head so it has no consequences at all (take that sense of danger!). Secondly, I know Zack Snyder loves his green screens and computers, but geez, that looked like friggin’ SPY KIDS. Is that really the best we can do as a nation?
Maybe it’s just me, but this just looks like turd. I know what they were trying to do, but what they were trying to do is stuff 10 pounds of poo into a 5 pound bag. I think it’s just trying way to hard. It’s like the movie is screaming in my ear “LOOK AT THE DRAGON! NOW ENJOY SOME PG-13 SEXY! OH BOY, NOW THERE’S A SAMURAI, YOU LIKE ASIAN CULTURE!” and I’m trying to be cool and all, but it’s pretty obvious that I’m starting to get a little pissed. In the end we both go our separate ways and don’t call each other.
