Entropy

Our world will not die as a result of the bomb, as the papers say - it will die of laughter, of banality, of making a joke of everything, and a lousy joke at that.

Destiny is usually just around the corner. Like a thief, a hooker, or a lottery vendor: its three most common personifications. But what destiny does not do is home visits. You have to go for it yourself.

Sucker Punch (2011) by Zack Snyder

I thought the movie’s direction and sound-track were flawless. I loved the wardrobe, the setting, the very burlesque feel, the make-up, the execution…etc. What I thought of the film itself though can best be described using Roger Ebert’s words:

I hated this movie. Hated, hated, hated, hated, hated this movie. Hated it. Hated every simpering stupid vacant audience-insulting moment of it. Hated the sensibility that thought anyone would like it. Hated the implied insult to the audience by its belief that anyone would be entertained by it.
