Absolutely

Tbf, they're probably trying to make the scenes be entertaining in a morbid kind of way.

I haven't seen the Film tbf, but that would be my guess based off of this particular post.

That's fine but don't claim to be anything more than the usual sexy-girl-in-skimpy-outfits then and certainly don't claim to be a film about female empowerment :laugh:

Some Films unfortunately do use deceptive marketing tactics to get people to watch their Film, that otherwise wouldn't watch it.

I personally don't like a Film deceiving me either, so I can see where you're coming from.

The rate at which they pump out these superhero movies over the past 10 years or so is relentless. There are bound to be a few the critics won't like. Personally i have hardly any interest in any superhero 'verse anymore.

That's more than fair enough, Nicky.

One Asylum Film I do want to check out is Ape Vs. Mecha Ape, the name just grabs my attention.:laugh:

Mega Shark vs Crocosaurus is a good one, it also had Robert Picardo (ST Voy EMH) in it and Jaleel White (Urkel)


the two, three, five, six headed shark attack films are also enjoyable, three has legendary Danny Trejo in it

Blade is one to look forward to i think, Mahersha Ali how he'll do compared to Wesley Snipes's OG (i like Mahersha ever since The 4400 series)


critics only care for the snoozes which always tend to do well at the Oscars, Golden Globes, if there is hardly any interest i have for, it is these predictable award events, where only the borefests tend to be winning prizes at


we should be doing a TiBB Movie Awards or something and then the proper way, with many more categories, for all genres basically, eligible are the releases of the year

I'll have to start my journey of Asylum Movies soon.

Especially as the only other thing that I'm really doing entertainment wise is watch my Brother play Tif- I mean Final Fantasy VII: Rebirth.:joker:

My read on it is honestly totally different Niamh - I don't think it is (or is trying to be) female-empowering I think it's quite a bleak commentary on the relentless and seemingly unassailable nature of violent male oppression. And I don't think the sequences are the character's idealised dream world, they're a representation of the male gaze and, in effect, a social commentary on exactly the things you're talking about.

She doesn't (and can't) win. Any victory is ultimately punished. I'm not saying it's a masterpiece but it's definitely more layered than being an anime-style CGI fest.
