WTF is w/all the "women stalking" movies of late...?

[bliss_eternal]

Just saw another NEW movie ad, with someone stalking, pursuing, then holding a woman captive and I'm guessing torturing said woman. :puke:

Sorry, but I was so dismayed I don't recall the name of this potential pos.

Excuse me, but what is supposed to be SO fucking entertaining about stalking women, taking them against their will, holding them captive, torturing them, etc.?

Brief reminder of what I mean by recent rash of this:

Black Snake Moan (no extreme or violent torture to my knowlege, but woman held captive in itty bitty clothing--allegedly for her own good :eyes: by big, heavy chain).

Hostel

Hostel 2 (just read this was a flop...heehehe :P)

(sigh) As if I have to ask.
Then I wonder where some of the attitudes posted in GD come from. :eyes:

1. I hardly ever see previews

I have Tivo so zip through commercials and rarely see movies in a theater so I didn't even notice the trend.

As to your point, I don't really understand why, other than the itty bitty clothing since women in entertainment are often just pretty decorations. Is there some kind of 'turn on' for men in general (certainly not all) having women being stalked like hunting animals? Would the acceptance of this type of predatory behavior be the same if it was a male couple (homophobia aside) or if roles were reversed? Doubt it. I also don't see what's that entertaining about it and now I remember why I don't even bother to check what's in standard theaters.
