Could this be a Movie about so called "Real Life" Super Heroes?!
The Capes were excited about Kick-ass? Let's see 'em get excited about this one. The more excited they get by films like this, the more insight we have into what they'd actually like to do to enforce their idea of "justice" on an unsuspecting public.
The RLSH want to piss and moan about how they are "poorly portrayed" in the media, but what more does the film industry have to run on other than what they see on the internet? Try making up a stereotype that doesn't have some truth to it and see how long it sticks.
This bothers me on many levels. "The Cutter" as known in the industry has been working his Super Villain gimmick since the 1970's.
The use of violent force on a Class 1 Meta Villain is just uncalled for. A simple complaint to management or the clerk at the ticket counter could have easily resolved the situation.
I certainly hope the rest of the movie is more accurate and takes place at a charity walk or water hand out.
Movies about RLSHs are going to either be wildly inaccurate or else wildly boring until people start doing something worth making a movie about. RLSHs are portrayed in the media basically as benevolent cosplayers and with good reason. Some people in the culture notice that and think the solution is to flip out and turn into a psycho vigilante. It isn't.
People like Howard Hughes who do awesome things get awesome movies made about them and awesome documentaries etc etc... sure they're not *entirely* complementary, but they're something. When people watch they might feel like "okay, that part's sorta strange..." but they don't think "what a tard," either.
The majority of RLSHs expect a pat on the back for just existing or for walking down a street like the poor people they want to congratulation them do daily -- without Level III body armor on. It's actually pretty depressing.
Of course theatrics are going to be used to make the story more interesting. I am just still baffled by the complete ignorance of the character played by Rainn Wilson. The sheer lack of detective work is appalling.
Obviously everyone in line have already purchased a ticket and are waiting for entry into the movie theater. As they joined another party already waiting in line I would deduct that the group that they joined had already purchased the tickets for them.
Not knowing the insides of all the characters motivations for this performance, I would also think if they did try to purchase tickets from the box office after the theater allowed admittance, they would be sent to the back of the line by the door man who is collecting the tickets.
I want a REAL real life superhero movie.... more charity walks, water hand outs, condiments on carcases, death threats, and public urination.... also if they could add a dance number or two that would be neat!
Throw in a few of those dramatic slow motion "badass team" walking scenes they use in some movies (c.f.) Reservoir Dogs -- and extend each of them for about 2-3 minutes screen time and I'm with ya.
Good Lord. That made me sick to my stomach.

* "they want to congratulate them," rather.

ReplyDeleteMight I suggest RLSH Jackass? All proceeds can go towards charity, plus I get to laugh at foolishly caused cape-related injuries.
