This. I've just seen it too and will probably post something short about it. But I won't be sorry if I never see another film in which (beautiful, sexy) women dance on tables in their underwear as shorthand for 'this is a bad place, but hey! It's a fun place'.

Once, maybe, I can swallow. Four, five times in the same film? That's not just making a point. That's sexist exploitative crap, right there.

A world of agreement. And I look forward to reading what you write.

I want to see the movie too but from what I'm reading about it, I'm getting the impression that it's quite repulsive and that I don't want to pay the people who made it money.

Curiously it's not up in the usual places.

Which is somewhat ironic, given that it's a film about one man's disregard for intellectual property.

ETA: Not that I have any problem watching ganked things.
