I'm sure this movie will bomb at the Box Office.



It went straight in at #9 in the UK and fell of the chart the next week, and there's already a DVD rip going around torrent sites. I don't think Transformers is sweating it.

Unless "underground" refers to the geographic location of this movie (like it's about Morlocks or some shit), I'm pretty sure "underground" (referring to something like "independent") is not what this move is at all? I mean, there are ads for this thing all over the web, TV, buses....



Haha yeah in LA I see billboards for this thing up every 4 blocks and the blocks that don't have billboards have bench/bust stop ad bus ads.

Some people just like stuff like that, myself included. I'm into all sorts of dark and morbid things; I have been since I was a kid. I read horror magazines and books, I watch horror movies, I play horror games I have horror dreams.

Why don't you like stuff like that? It's just as valid a question. Can you explain why you don't like horror?



Torture porn =/= horror.

Many of the film's detractors are long time horror fans like me who can't help but roll their eyes at the rise of torture porn.



Seconded.

I understand that it was hyperbole. But frankly I think that knee-jerk hyperbolic dismissal of criticism for anything SG ("sinking ship!", etc.) oftentimes comes across as more childish than the sentiment it's mocking. Apologies for jumping on on your post, it's just a pet peeve of mine.

There is legitimate discussion to be had about SG's involvement here beyond the automatic assumption that anyone critical is trying to censor or prevent others from seeing/attending the event.

Let's face it: If it was Joe Francis and a group of volunteer Girls Gone Wild reps who were the guests at this party for torture porn, there would be a perfunctory condemnation of the entire operation as exploitative.


Apology accepted.

Though there is a big difference between "legitimate discussion" and:

oh yeah, this is really empowering. SGs in electrical tape licking cream pies off of each other while dave navarro eggs them on a la joe francis.


I wasn't trying to say gillycat is trying to censor the event or keep people from going. I merely pointed out that gillycat is a douchenozzle for basically mocking the SGs going to the launch party.

"Legitimate discussion" that is not.

I'm not a huge fan of torture movies, though I have seen many. But the whole WHY DO PEOPLE LIKE THIS?!?! argument is so stupid and really pisses me off.

Why do people like Sex and the City?
Why do people like the Coen Brothers?
Why do people like David Lynch?
Why do people like 50 Cent?

These are all pointless questions. Just because I don't personally like them doesn't mean I deserve some answer for why other people like them.

Why? Who the fuck cares, and why is it any of your business?

Tell me why you cut your hair like that, why you wear the clothes you wear, why you decorate your apartment the way you do, and maybe I won't be quite so offended when you feel justified in asking me why I like a certain type of FICTIONAL movie.

I wish people would stop pretending to be some champion of art or helpless women/tourists/Cary Elweses by making a big deal out of the fact that they don't like these movies. It doesn't make you a better person than anyone who watches them.

The fact that the "Why do people like this?" question is so everpresent with this movie and not others actually reminds me of the whole "nice guy" shtick, like "I love women and would never degrade them/disrespect them/watch a movie with them being tortured. In fact, I cannot even understand why people would want to do such a thing! Do you want to have sex with me yet!?!?!"

Why am I not surprised that a society whose government is one of the leading practitioners and advocates of torture would produce a movie such as this?

thefreak - the SGs themselves seem like an intelligent, creative, and sexy bunch of gals. the party appeared to be anything but. maybe it was the camerawork or the hostess, but it didn't do anything for me. did you watch? what did you think? i'm glad the ladies in attendance had fun.

This film's detractors are turning out to be its greatest asset, with regard to its marketing.

I wouldn't even have given this film a second thought if everyone weren't so up in arms about it.



you hit the nail on the head, sp. squarely. however, if the sgs can make money and/or further their careers in any way by participating...especially if its fun.
