I think I'm going to go with Showgirls+Inception for Suckerpunch.
Except I liked Inception.
I'm a big girl. Just tell me.

A place to talk about movies--old and new, good and bad, high art and high cheese. It's the place to place your kittens on the award winners, gossip about upcoming fims and discuss DVD releases and extras. Spoiler policy: White font all plot-related discussion until a movie's been in wide release two weeks, and keep the major HSQ in white font until two weeks after the video/DVD release.

Compassionately intolerant
thanks for the reminder ita, I just went to add my vote to March Movie Madness.
I'm not going to bother reading the comments. Joke 'em!

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
DH tried to describe the plot of Sucker Punch to me. It made even less sense than the plot of Spider-Man: Turn Off The Dark.
I've decided that Zack Snyder's demographic is pretty exclusively 13 year-old boys, and that I should just stop bothering to be interested in anything he produces.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!
Zack Snyder's movies make much better trailers than movies.
I can't wait for the Superman trailer!

The lost sheep grow teeth, forsake their lambs, and lie with the lions.
I just got back from seeing Rango. What a delightfully strange movie. It was downright surreal and/or trippy in parts, which shouldn't have surprised me, given the Hunter S. Thompson cameo in the movie's first five minutes.
What did surprise me is how gorgeous the cinematography was. Absolutely breathtaking.

I thought his remake of Dawn of the Dead was fantastic. And 300 was technically really cool, and mostly coherent. But it's been all downhill from there.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.
I KNOW, Anne! Gorgeousness and weirdness in one fun package!

"There are few hours in life more agreeable than the hour dedicated to the ceremony known as afternoon tea."
Is Suckerpunch based on a graphic novel or is it just trying to look like it is?

I've had that same question, sj. Based on reading the reviews I'd say no, but the logo desgin seems too good for Hollywood.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
James Van Der Beek makes a movie with Sam Elliot. Antonio Banderas and Snoop Dogg star. Cosmic sex happens.
I am curious.
