cyrano: (Noodle)
I was out today and decided to take in a movie. I passed on Forbidden Kingdom because I was alone, and want to enjoy that one with a friend, and was going to grab a ticket to Leatherheads because George Clooney is such a charming fellow. Then I saw a film called '88' which was going to start twenty minutes earlier, which was a big plus, as was Al Pacino.
I saw the new Batman trailer and the new Ironman trailer, both of which pleased me, and the new Samuel Jackson trailer which might be worth watching. And some sort of zombie horror flick called Quarantine which I will happily pass on.
And now on to the movie. There are spoilers here, but I'm not putting up an lj-cut because I'm hoping that the spoilers will give you even less reason to see this abomination. Within five minutes I was already subtitling this movie "Al Pacino and a bunch of half naked girls solve a murder".
Every single woman in this film was either

  • There to be tortured by a man
  • There to be killed by a man
  • There to be kidnapped and then saved by two different men
  • There to be patronized by a man ("There there, you did good." And then, swear to god, he pats her head.)
  • There to be protected from danger by a man
  • There to undress in front of the camera
  • There to have the hots for Al Pacino
  • There to make cookies for Al Pacino and probably have the hots for him unrequitedly
  • There to be brainwashed by a man into torturing and killing for him
  • A psychopathic killer lesbian who was in love with a man

Just.....
Wow.
Coyote has no wags for this one. He really wishes he'd seen Leatherheads, but he's feeling less homicidal now.
