Behold a trailer came and it did herald of the End of Days

I watched WANTED on the weekend but was first treated to this piece of unpleasantness:



One minute I was expecting to see a harmless fight club / Matrix mash-up, the next I see the Herald of the Apocalypse in the shape of this trailer. I couldn't tell if it was a Chris Morris gag or a real thing.

I'm all for interesting shocking cinema. Movies that challenge you often force you to find your own meaning, to work a bit for the message and learn something about yourself in the process. What is the message here?

Well it's a message for the girls and that message is:

Don't smoke crack with people you've never met on an isolated yacht then let them have anal sex with you knowing full well that they intend to punch you hard in the back of the head before they ejaculate.

Because, you see, that's dangerous for ohhh, ermm AN INFINITE NUMBER OF REASONS. It's cheap-misogynistic-shock-shit for the sake of it. But it's the nonchalant way that they've dropped it that is most disturbing.

I imagine this is how it starts, the beginning of the end.

Just casually toss in trailer for a movie about recreational crack smoking and punching women in the back of the head during sex, then quickly move on to a Batman or a Hancock trailer.

Yeah, Donkey Punch that's fine it's just like Batman and Will Smith. Ha Ha - remember Fresh Prince- in fact did I even see that Donkey thing? What was it? Maybe I made it up or fell asleep.

Gradually there'll be more things creeping in. One minute you'll be watching an advert for Calgon or Disney then sudddenly it'll cut to grainy footage of a girl with a black eye gagging on a shotgun barrel whilst being raped. Then Barry Scott will suddenly crackle into view and Cillit Bang! The image is gone!

You won't even be sure you saw it at all. Subconsciously though, you'll be starting to accept it as normal.

A few weeks later your TV will be happily puking gang rape and snuff 24/7 - later that day a door will open in the sky, visible from every nation. The first of four seals will be broken and the four horsemen will ride out.

Donkey Punch? What are they going to call the sequel?

Space Docking? Cleveland Steamer?
