i fail to see how football is gayer than baseball. by uniform alone football looks so much more gay. i can look past wrestling’s gay overtones but when certain holds are on its there. certain wrestlers actually play it up on purpose, and yet others can successfully mask the gayness either by humor or actually just looking like a regular competitor with no ego in the ring. funny though i’ve never thought boxing to be gay.

as for Creed, theres no excuse for liking Creed. you should know better

I do like Creed alot… Football too. I think baseball is a way gayer sport than football. Pro wrestling is pretty gay though, especially that one pussy world champ with the cowboy hat who they all seemed to hate at one point.

see, the violence in Sin City is also sort of fake and not really necessarily brutal to me either to a certain degree, however the violence in Sin City has much more going on with it, humor, quirkiness, sarcasm, punctuated by one liners or deadpan moments, like the guy with the arrow through him. but here it doesnt really have this going for it and although there are occasionally one liners most of the violence really is meant to be beefed up macho HURR MANLINESS and should probably have felt more extreme and a lot less fake and stagey.

also… you know how some things try to be ’so straight they’re gay’ – you know, like say, Creed, or professional wrestling, or football – you get so macho and tough that you can also open the door for that sort of thing. All the waxed Spartans in their costumes at times look like a convention of Manowar fans.

We’re seeing it tomorrow.

anyways, despite some great visuals, they took the idea of reproducing the comic to the level that the visual style actually makes all the violence look very stagey to the point that extreme acts like decapitation even seem dull, lacking the brutality and intensity that was so necessary. because of this most of the action tends to run together and become tiresome/boring.

there are good elements of the movie, however i really felt the visuals and color were put way to high of a priority over everything else.

1.5/4

what i do find annoying is the number of people making political allegorys about Iraq in regards to it. god fucking damn it it seems everything to do with war or sci fi right now has to be about Iraq to some dipshit.
