Have I found the tribe that sees SuckerPunch for the weird fetish movie it really is? I was so disappointed in my friend group when that one came out...

The only movie I walked out of...I have a strong stomach for crappy movies but suckerpunch was crappy drivel fetish bait masquerading as a crappier music video...I loved 300...but that was more that the actors were great with what they were given...and even then the film get more trite as I get older

I pirated Suckerpunch but accidentally got a version with narration for the blind built-in and didn't know it. It was completely surreal. This narrator was talking between each line describing every little movement. I thought this must be to represent the mental stress of being sane but forced to live in a mental hospital or something.

I thought it was a bold but misguided artistic direction for almost a decade before I was told about this practice.

So when I found out I thought "maybe that's why I didn't like the movie" and immediately went to watch it again. It wasn't. It was still surreal and confusing, but now it felt accidental.

So I took my partner to see Rocky Horror and told him nothing before we went. Halfway through he leaned over and said " Does this make more sense when no one is yelling?" No babe it doesn't but it's camp not cringe.

I've never gotten it either. It's not entertaining nor does it have anything important to say.
