I cannot believe there are so many self-proclaimed “open-minded” movie reviewers on the internet that claim, they swear up-and-down, they are positively <adamant,> I tell you, that they totally really do enjoy the gruesome, grimy excuses for “movies” that are polluting movie theatres. They parrot that they are “not afraid to take risks.”
Let me guess, you absolutely loved it. Miserable, depressing, bleak, pretentious, showing drug use as trashily disgusting and glamorous and something to aspire to. You are jaded; irony-addicted; soul sucked out of you until there is nothing but a hollow shell. Obviously a freak. You like being emotionally raped, you enjoy being repulsed, nauseated. Look at how much of a liberal apologist you are. "This movie repulsed me at first, oh but then it didn't so it's okay that it did at first! And I’m not at all saying that being repulsed and gagging and psychologically tortured and about to vomit is a bad thing!"
Geez, you make me sick. Grow some standards. You are basically a masochistic, self-beating (whatever Nathaniel Hawthorne’s “Scarlet Letter” priest did to himself), self-flagellating,
But instead of "punishing" yourself in this way, you have convinced yourself that it is some sort of pleasure. Sitting through something that is just too incredibly disgusting, sick, bitter, hateful, mean-spirited.
I’ll have to borrow a critique method from the Victorian Age here. Oh, yes, that outfit is dreadful because it has the ruffle in the wrong place. The color is simply inexcusable wrong on her. The cut of the hem is wrong... Okay, I can't keep up the charade. You look like a freakin tramp! What the hell is wrong with you?
Don’t you know the difference between hip n’ cool -and- trashy tacky tawdry, cheap? I'm neither, but damn, I know the difference.
“It was positively dreadful, that detail there, why did they use ketchup instead of chocolate syrup for blood, oh how awful? Oh dearie me, the camerawork was rather shoddy in that scene, goodness dear, the movie is not able to fully portray all the characters' inner emotions. Oh and that other one, it was simply horrid, must they put that brand of lighter fluid along with that shape of pipe? Goodness me, that particular lead pipe would not form that indentation shape on a person’s skull.”
Okay, I can't keep up the charade any longer. This movie sucks!
Why can’t I just come right out and say that I could not stand this body-snatcher changeling that has apparently abducted a genuinely good movie and has assumed the good movie’s identity but failing at it? Why is it considered unappreciative of pop culture, uncreative, unsophisticated if I say honestly and plainly that I hated this counter-culture trash? I see philosobabble reviews everywhere insisting that critics not be allowed to debate the story, choice of plot, content of a movie, overarching theme. Oh, the reviewers “approve” of people critiquing silly little throwaway details. But they pigheadedly object if someone has a problem with the movie itself.
frankly
So you're saying you have problems with the delivery method. Well, why shouldn't I have a problem with the content of a movie?
-Most of the reviews go like this. “Oh, gosh, they're saying the movie is vile repulsive repugnant, how incredibly uncool they are. What they should do is not be afraid to take risks, gosh they're so closed-minded; look how liberal and truly intellectual and forward-thinking I am. I bring so much to the discussion, I am not afraid to take risks; I am so much more incredibly open-minded and have so much more freedom of thought because I enjoy movies with mass r-p- and killing and dismemberment. Why can't they realize that movie directors and actors need to express themselves by depicting murdering and r-p-ng, they should not be afraid to take risks?”
“Ohmigosh it opens up all sorts of intellectual and political discussion. Why can't you imagine a world with all r-p- and killing; are you that backwards and unable to be a free thinker and afraid to take risks?”

Why the hell should I?

"People that enjoy nice neat stories in films will be very disturbed watching this. People whose minds look for meaning in film portrayals will become more involved the longer the movie goes on."
