don't see The Pet

[callinectes]

Why oh why did I not listen to Chicklet?? As Bron said, the acting was so poor and the dialogue so laughable it was hopeless. I didn't make it through the whole thing, it was just too painful..and not in a good way!

What was with the 'master" saying the girl looked physically strong but he thought she was submissive? WTF??

Thankfully I also received Tristan and Isolde today..I am hoping it will erase The Pet from my brain.

Before you pop this into the DVD player, take your disbelief out in the back yard and shoot the damn thing because you're never gonna get through this movie otherwise.

Damn, you said it way better than I was going to!

I just finished The Pet too, had to go out for a few hours and just finished the last 10 minutes. It wasn't as bad as I was expecting, but it still sucks donkey balls.

Sounds like a good movie for the Sadists to equip themselves with.

Okay, Etoile's post made me go back and watch the rest of the movie. Awful acting and dialogue aside, I don't understand how or why they came up with the puppy training/organ source connection. I suppose understand the fitness training, wanting to make sure the organs are healthy, but why all the puppy stuff? Bizzare.

I did find the list of countries and their associated human trafficking activity (shown at the end of the film) interesting. I have no idea if it is accurate though.

Most amusing quote (paraphrased) "It's been a banner year for human trafficking and I want to thank all of you for your efforts" (the group then applaused) I can see a bunch of slave traders having a swanky cocktail party whilst discussing the market and profit margins.

I just sat though that movie... My eyes and heart are intact, but DAMN.....

The Good: The girl was hot, the cage was cool, and she played a good puppy.

The Bad: The Story, The Acting (the two girls who played the puppies did a good job of that, their acting as non-puppies was atrocious), The Premise, The Script

The Ugly: The movie was CRAP.

Fortunately, I did not pay for the movie, or I would want my money back. Hell, I Want the bandwidth back from my download of that movie.

The plot was a muddy mess, and despite the Writer/Director/anti-slavery crusader's assurance that it portrays the lifestyle in a positive light, IT DOESN'T. This doushebag did not have a fucking clue what this lifestyle is really about...

IT was very unintetionally funny at first, and then just got LAME.... (OK there were a couple of nice moments.)

I give this movie NO STARS, two thumbs down, and a general ITS CRAP as a rating.

Shit, they probably could have found better actors by going to Labor Ready there in LA.

Just to reiterate one more time.... The movie is a piece of shit, and the director should have all of his vital organs sold while he lives out life in an ice bathtub just for making this crap.

So MP...tell us how you really feel?

Just kidding - I got it through Netflix a while back and I agree with you.

 

[Otherkorean]

I liked it. But then again that was from a stand point where I knew next to nothing.
*hides from expected cries of outrage*

Actually, I held back as I didn't want you all to think I had developed tourettes nor did I want you to think that I had completely lost it.

Ohh with all the negative decriptives it sounds perfect and I for one look forward to not only viewing it but buying it as well. I am hoping it as as least as tragic as either the Phil Leirness or Ron Williams versions of the Story of O was . I will be making the comparison from a marketing perspective. Excluding the Just Jaeckin version however , though considering the Directors name it's amusing it was the best of the 3 versions.


Topic Change ....... I bought Short Bus about a month ago and really quite enjoyed it . I must go digging around in the archives here now and find an the appropriate thread .

: prays to the search function gods no to suck too badly today :

MasterPhoenix, when you get around to that Napoleon Dynamite class action lawsuit please let me know. I wanted to shut it off five minutes in, but I knew so many people (some that I even respected!) who liked it that I decided there must be something redeeming.

Nope. Not even the fantastic dance sequence could redeem it. I have terrible flashbacks any time someone uses his voice.

Can we sue for emotional trauma as well as wasted time?

I should hope so.... Lets contact the law Firm of Dewy Screwem & Howe....

i'm not sure how anyone, even people out side of the lifestyle could 'like' this movie. if for no other reason than the fact that the acting SUCKED!!! 'my cat died' that was my favorite part of the movie that made me laugh really really hard.the movie was CRAP. the acting as puppies was ok, but give them a few lines to say and omg it sounded like they were reading it off cue cards, they probably were. i think people IN the lifestyle could have done a better job of acting. not to mention, she wore the same clothes throughout the WHOLE movie. and if someone is that rich, don't you think they could afford a better water bottle? lol the props were the same for both girls and they were in totally different places. yes i pick apart movies, but this one, well i don't have time to pick at everything that was wrong with it, i'd be here for days.

i'm not sure how much those 'actors' got paid but they didn't deserve a penny of it....

Most imdb users didn't like it either.

 

[Etoile]

If it was just kinky sex, just BDSM, then maybe I wouldn't hate it so much. But that whole organ harvesting subplot is just vomitrocious.

That is what truly made it retarded....

It was like he threw that in to make slavery look bad...

Just becuase I haven't said it today... THAT MOVIE SUCKS RAW SHIT.

 

[LunarKitten]

While I appreciate the heads up, I'll reserve judgement until I see the thing.

I remember a lot of folks reacting that way to Secretary and it's one of my favorite movies.

*nods* Even my father in law likes that movie

We downloaded The Pet and will watch it within the next week or so - when we can have privacy to watch it lol

 

[LunarKitten]

I have seen some really bad movies... And My heart is still intact...

Worse film I've ever seen....Eyes of the Werewolf...even the girl on girl scene didn't help

I STILL haven't seen The Pet....

But just to give you an idea about how bad the buzz on this POS* movie is though... my movie connection (who does mainstream AND porn) won't touch it. Won't waste the dinero on a legit copy, nor to get the CD's to burn it to...

*Piece Of Shit
