Sucker Punch

We just got back from watching Sucker Punch, and if you ignore the bad acting and the bad plot and the bad dialogue, it was actually a lot of fun. It managed to fit in eight billion different genres into one movie, there was the psychological/inception-like quality, the steampunk, the fantasy (ORCS! There were orcs!), glorified action, mobster/film noire, burlesque/soft core porn, sci-fi, and drama. Oh yes, and there were Sailor Moon/Dragon Ball Z-like moments as well. There were one or two moments that were pleasantly unexpected that redeemed the overall bad acting, and the guy who plays "Blue" or the orderly did a good job at being a completely slimy dick, so that was good too.
              Also, it's like every girl fantasizes to be able to dress up and then kick ass. With a sword AND a gun...and her gun has a key chain, and her sword has an awesome carving in it. I wish I could just close my eyes and be transported into an awesome steampunk world with dragons and Aurora Borealis-like fire-creating stones where I can wield a handgun and samurai sword to slice away robots and zombies.
               Wouldn't that be fun? I think for next year's NaNoWriMo I might attempt writing a steampunk story. Oooh yes, yes that would be fantastic. I can't wait.
