I am talking about Sin City below, but forgot to reference it specifically.
And no offense is meant to people with long hair, or who like the fantasy genre, but this little experience just sort of pushed me over the edge. Our engineering and computer science departments students were packed into the theatre for Sin City, and I feel that I'm making a comment based on my experiences in the local population of Blacksburg, VA.
[QUOTE=hokiesandwich]Sin City, Kill Bill.
I thought that we were past the kind of misogyny exhibited in the film, but apparently there is quite a market for it. It just exhibited a deep-seated fear of women in power, castration, and an obsession with dominating women and young girls physically and sexually that I really couldn't swallow. No offense to those who are, but I'm not a feminist, and find the whole ideology irritating, but this film was out-and-out ridiculous. I'm surprised womens' groups aren't up in arms over the content and attitudes towards women, and I'm ashamed that so many long-haired fantasy-world geeks got just as excited as Yellow Bastard during the flick. Rodriguez did an awesome job with the camera work (as far as I understood it in the current Wired Magazine article, at least) but it was a damned waste of my time.
