new horrible stereotypical movie coming out

[boondock]

ahh crap

well heres the movie

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Silk_%28film%29

seriously..what the hell?
what a great white man's fantasy. to have an affair with some 'exotic' woman while having your loyal white wife at home. good times

[grimfan]

The sheer lack of originality, not to mention the glaring foundations of a puerile masturbatory fantasy, simply baffles me to the core. Can this get any more absurd?

- White guy marries beautiful White girl
- White guy gets to have wild exotic sex with Asian girl
- Beautiful White girl not only tolerates this, but also plays along with his fantasy
- White guy gets everything he wants in the end, while everybody else loses

Untalented White hacks with overactive sexual imaginations should never be allowed near a pen or a word processor.

I'm super confused here. If submissive women are better, than who's the winner here? The submissive asian woman or the submissive white woman who lets her white husband take a submissive asian play thing? Wouldn't that trump all submissiveness? It's so deep...

[bismarck]

^haha

Michael Pitt and Keira Knightly...wow. Rather big names.

[grimfan]

He should've foregone all those long and doubtlessly uncomfortable voyages to Japan and just shipped over his Japanese sex toy. I'm sure his obliging wife would've had steamy lesbian sex just to please her man. Then, he could have more time to go to the Middle East and reprimand those savages about their base polygamy.

Is there some way we can stop these assholes making shit movies like these, like I dunno fire-bombing the movie studio, going to the doorstep of the scriptwriters and assasinating the movie executives one by one in the most painful manner possible?

(just kidding, i'm not serious about inflicting bodily harm on the producers of this film).

I read the book this is based on and it's actually quite a lovely and haunting story.

In the book, the concubine is a white woman. Which I guess they changed for the movie.

^Also, it turns out that the wife actually is the more submissive at the end, if you read the wiki spoilers. That Herve is a pimp, apparantly.

Beyond that, the problem lies more in the endless mass audiences who eat this crap up.

You guys/gals need to stop - before someone starts characterizing you as "whiners"/"losers".

On a different note - a Korean-American film-maker, Dennis Lee, has snagged Julia Roberts (ughh! but a coup for Lee) for his upcoming film "Fireflies in the Garden" which is supposedly a fictional account of Lee's life.

The film also supposedly stars Willem Dafoe and Carrie-Anne Moss (if this film is supposed to be a fictionalized account of Lee's life - I'm curious as to how all of these non-Asian actors fit into the story-line).

maybe there should be a movie called "stereotypes" where you can make the audience laugh then gradually show how devastating it is as the plot unfolds. theres a million dollar idea

How does that make any sense? Is she some exotic Russian sold into white slavery?

I don't think I've ever met a woman named Svetlana that was ugly.

Oh, if I only had the reading comprehension to finish a novel.

[rice cracker]

Oh Lew, the book is like, 90 pages long. You can do it!

give us the Rice Notes summary and save us a buck

No, I went to school with her/it for years.

I mean, if I were being a total pig about it -dons some pig ears, a pig nose, and curly tail for effect-, I'd throw a ball gag in her mouth and a paper bag over her head, and have at it in the dark, but man, her grill and her nose and her unibrow just ...... -shudder and cringe-

Wonder if I can pick up the book on eBay.
