Episode 8 — Sucker Punch

[admin 330]

Zack Snyder made a two hour music video called Sucker Punch and we're here to tell you why you shouldn't see it. Paul, Jason, June and Chelsea Peretti fought fate to watch this disaster and are attempting the impossible: Explaining what the hell it's about. Between the rape dancing, the comic book costumes, and the bizarre performance of Mr. Blue we can't guarantee you closure but we can guarantee you some laughs!

[Chrenen 0]

"When you're an orphan in a rape dungeon... you take what you can get." This show is hilarious and I really want to eat some bakers chocolate now.

[saskrotch 1]

everyone seems to be done with this, so i'm gonna paste the details of something that popped up on demonoid: a torrent of Sucker Punch synced with Dark Side of the Moon. and the guy decided that he had to detail the entire thing in the description instead of just letting people download it. Check out how much this dude wrote about it (sorry if it's only funny to me, also demonoid is invite only, so i cant just link to it)):

Some notable mirroring syncs:
-Rocket's death is beautiful. There are also many allusions to her death. There are a couple of instances where Rocket seems as if she is saying things like "I never said I was afraid of dying" and "Why should I be afraid of dying..."
"And if the dam breaks open many years too soon, and if there is no room upon the hill"
The first time we hear this, we prominently see Rocket and Sweet Pea standing together ready for battle in the Map Mission.
The second time we hear this, we see Rocket and Sweet Pea separated from each other at the end of the Knife Mission.
The explosion of her death and the farewell between her and Sweet Pea is a grand and tragic.
"And if your head explodes with dark forebodings too 
I'll see you on the dark side of the moon. "
This is all about the death of her sister and Rocket is the representation of that. In the end, Sweet Pea will see her on the other side in her mind.

-The symbolism and syncs of the mirroring of the stepfather kicking down the door to little sister hiding in closet with Babydoll kicking Blue down then opening the door with SweetPea inside a closet. The album repeats with these two scenes at the same place.
"Run, rabbit run."

-Also with Babydoll shooting at her stepfather and hitting the gas pipe and lightbulb mirrors her shooting the blimp that releases the gas and looks like the explosion of the lightbulb - both taking place at the same time in the album "Dig that hole, forget the sun, 
And when at last the work is done 
Don't sit down it's time to dig another one. "

-" Look around, choose your own ground"
Babydoll gets a gun the first time
Babydoll gets a knife the second time

"Run Rabbit Run"
Babydoll escapes through window
Babydoll runs after guy with map
Babydoll grabs key to escape asylum

There are many more.

"Speak to Me"

"I've been mad for fucking years, absolutely years, been 
over the edge for yonks, been working me buns off for bands..."

CYCLE 2: THE SCREAMS CLIMAX AS SWEET PEA FRANTICALLY KILLS EVERYONE SURROUNDING HER SISTER
CYCLE 3: THE SCREAMS CLIMAX JUST AS BLUE PULLS THE TRIGGER AND KILLS AMBER. The women then scream in horror.

"I've always been mad, I know I've been mad, like the 
most of us...very hard to explain why you're mad, even 
if you're not mad..." 

(Instrumental) 


"Breathe"

Breathe, breathe in the air.
CYCLE 2: BABYDOLL FLIES THROUGH THE AIR.

Don't be afraid to care.

Dig that hole, forget the sun, 
And when at last the work is done 
Don't sit down it's time to dig another one. 

CYCLE 1: BABYDOLL SHOOTS AT THE STEPFATHER, ONLY TO MISS AND HIT THE GAS PIPE AND LIGHT BULB RELEASING GAS.
CYCLE 2: BABY DOLL IS RUNNING AFTER THE MAN WITH THE MAP WHO IS RUNNING TO THE BLIMP. BABY DOLL IS SHOOTING ;BABY DOLL MUST SHOOT THE BLIMP AND RELEASE GAS FROM IT.
CYCLE 3: BABYDOLL OPENS THE DOOR TO THE CLOSET THAT SWEET PEA IS CROUCHED IN. "DON'T SIT DOWN ITS TIME TO DIG ANOTHER ONE" BABYDOLL LIFTS HER UP AND GIVES HER EVERYTHING SHE NEEDS TO GET OUT OF THIS HOLE THEY ARE IN.

But only if you ride the tide 
And balanced on the biggest wave 
You race towards an early grave.

CYCLE 3: BABYDOLL SITTING IN A CHAIR LOOKS THE SAME BUT IS NOT THERE; LOBOTOMIZED; DEAD

Plans that either come to naught or half a page of scribbled lines 
Hanging on in quiet desperation is the English way
CYCLE 2: THE GIRLS HANG ON IN THE PLANE
The time is gone, the song is over,

"Money"

Money, get away.

Money, it's a gas.
Grab that cash with both hands and make a stash.
New car, caviar, four star daydream,
Think I'll buy me a football team.

CYCLE 1: THE GIRLS ARE SHOWING THEIR STUFF. THE MADAME. BLUE COMES IN TO SEE IF BABYDOLL HAS THE RIGHT STUFF. IT APPEARS THAT THE MADAME IS GIVING THE WHOLE SPEECH ABOUT MONEY TO BABYDOLL.

CYCLE 2: BABY DOLL IS BACK AT THE SHOW AND HAS IMPRESSED THE RICH AUDIENCE IN APPLAUSE WITH EVERYONE EXCITED

CYCLE 1: THE DRAMATIC REVEAL OF BABYDOLL'S TRANSPORTATION TO A NEW SURROUNDING; HER TEMPLE WITH THE MUSIC

Money, it's a crime.
Share it fairly but don't take a slice of my pie.
Money, so they say
Is the root of all evil today.
But if you ask for a raise it's no surprise that they're 
giving none away.

CYCLE 1: IT APPEARS THAT THE OLD MAN IS GIVING THIS WHOLE ADVICE TO BABYDOLL AND ENDS IT BY TURNING HER AWAY
CYCLE 1: "AWAY AWAY AWAY AWAY" BABYDOLL IS TURNED AWAY FROM THE GUIDE TO FACE THE THREE WHO APPEAR TO BE TALKING LIKE DRUNK MEN IN THE DISTANCE

"HuHuh! I was in the right!"
"Yes, absolutely in the right!"
"I certainly was in the right!"
"You was definitely in the right. That geezer was cruising for a
bruising!"
"Yeah!"
"Why does anyone do anything?"
"I don't know, I was really drunk at the time!"
"I was just telling him, he couldn't get into number 2. He was asking
why he wasn't coming up on freely, after I was yelling and
screaming and telling him why he wasn't coming up on freely.
It came as a heavy blow, but we sorted the matter out"

CYCLE 1: THE THREE APPEAR TO BE TALKING TO EACH OTHER.

THERE IS A VERY AUDIBLE SOUND LIKE A LOUD FOOTSTEP ON WOOD JUST AS THE FIRST OF THE THREE TAKES A STEP FORWARD.

"IT CAME TO A HEAVY BLOW, BUT WE SORTED THE MATTER OUT" THE FIRST OF THE THREE DROPS HIS GIANT BLADE ON THE GROUND, DRAGGING IT, AND WALKS TOWARDS BABYDOLL TO SORT THE MATTER OUT.

CYCLE 2: BLONDIE IS WORRIED ABOUT WHAT SHE DID AND HOW IT MAY BE THE WRONG THING TO DO


"Us and Them"
CYCLE 1: BABYDOLL FACES OFF AGAINST THE THREE AS 'US AND THEM' BEGINS

Us, and them 
And after all we're only ordinary men.

CYCLE 1: THE THREE ARE ONLY ORDINARY MEN IN REALITY
BABYDOLL CUTS THE THROAT AS "US" ECHOES

Me, and you. 
God only knows it's not what we would choose to do.
CYCLE 2: THE GIRLS DON'T WANT TO DO THIS WITH THE CHEF BUT THEY MUST
Forward he cried from the rear

CYCLE 2: LOOKS LIKE SWEET PEA IS IN MADAME'S PLACE PUSHING THE 'FORWARD' SWITCH FOR BABYDOLL'S DANCE

and the front rank died.
CYCLE 1: BABYDOLL KILLS 2 OF 3
And the general sat and the lines on the map 
moved from side to side.

But in the end it's only round and round.
CYCLE 1: THE BEAST FALLS AS BABY DOLL FLIES THROUGH THE AIR
CYCLE 2: THE HELICOPTER BLADES SPIN ROUND AND ROUND

Haven't you heard it's a battle of words 
The poster bearer cried. 
Listen son, said the man with the gun


There's room for you inside.


CYCLE 1: THE GIRLS CROWD AROUND BABYDOLL ACCEPTING HER INTO THE GROUP OF DANCERS
CYCLE 2: THE GIRLS TRY TO GET INSIDE THE TRAIN

"I mean, they're not gunna kill ya, so if you give 'em a quick short, 
sharp, shock, they won't do it again. Dig it? I mean he get off 
lightly, 'cos I would've given him a thrashing - I only hit him once! 
It was only a difference of opinion, but really...I mean good manners 
don't cost nothing do they, eh?"
CYCLE 1: GIRLS ARE TALKING ABOUT DIFFERING OPINIONS ON GETTING OUT
BABYDOLL APPEARS TO SAY "EH"
CYCLE 2: APPEARS THE GIRLS ARE GETTING ORDERS ON HOW TO TAKE OUT THE ROBOTS AND DEAL WITH THE BOMB



Down and out 
It can't be helped but there's a lot of it about. 
With, without. 
And who'll deny it's what the fighting's all about?
CYCLE 2: GIRLS ARE FIGHTING ROBOTS TO GET THE KNIFE

Out of the way, it's a busy day
CYCLE 2: SWEET PEA COMES TO BABYDOLL'S RESCUE AND KICKS THE ROBOT OUT THE TRAIN

I've got things on my mind. 
For the want of the price of tea and a slice 
The old man died.

And every day the paper boy brings more.

[shroat 1]

Nathan Rabin of the AV Club has an excellent review of Sucker Punch for his regular column, My Year of Flops.
http://www.avclub.com/articles/furtively-feminist-mostly-misunderstood-case-file,61684/
"Depending on whom you ask, Snyder set out to make either the ultimate sexist masturbatory fanboy fantasy or the ultimate critique of sexist masturbatory fanboy fantasies. He failed spectacularly on both counts, but in true Fiasco form, there’s something fascinating and even strangely majestic about that failure."

[Lando 2019]

Gotta relisten to this episode. I watched the movie this weekend and all I can say is "wow" (but not in the good way)

[samoan 1]

Babydoll played by Emily Browing is 24 and was 23 when the movie came out so I am guessing she was 19-22 when the movie was made.

 

Great episode .

[KlingonDays 0]

Okay, it's probably not relevant anymore but, what I understood was that there was the reality(asylum), then the alternate reality which I think is kind of Baby Doll's way of interpreting the reality (probably why she is in a brothel) and the second alternate reality which would be her way of empowering herself, having control over her world. Carla Gugino tells her, before her first dance, that she has to "fight" so it's like she is picturing herself kicking ass instead of dancing for customers and whatnot.

So yep.. That's what I got from it.

[Wien 401]

Good God, this movie.... raped into empowerment.

[jazzkatz 1]

Found Blue dressed as Zouks!

 

http://www.imdb.com/media/rm2658638080/nm1209966

 

Chelsea should enjoy this

[Wien 401]

Funny how the crew is ragging so hard on Oscar Issac... I think he's turned out pretty alright, guys. Inside Llewyn Davis sits at a firm 94% on RT, up there with all the Coen brothers bests, and he's going to be in Star Wars Episode 7.

He was annoying in Llewyn Davis, which was critic-bait but also very much a lesser light for the Coens IMO.

[WayneMiller 37]

God-damn, this movie was terrible, one of the only ones, save for The Lost World: Jurassic Park, and Batman & Robin, which made me fly into an apoplectic rage! And they let Zack Snyder rape Superman..... Why?!

[Blast Hardcheese 636]

I just watched the Stuart Murdoch-directed God Help the Girl. The lead actress, Emily Browning, looked very familiar to me, but I couldn't immediately place her. It wasn't until I IMDB'd her that I realized she played Babydoll in that godawful Sucker Punch "movie."

 

Perhaps she's making amends for that Matrix-for-the-Maxim-douchebag dreck with this twee-gasmic charmer.
