Film review: Wadjda

Every now and then, a film comes along that changes the world. Sometimes, you don't even realise it's doing it.

World War H – or hate’s not all that

What do Shyamalan, World War Z and Man of Steel have in common? Hype - and hate.

"There’s too much anal rape" in The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo to get an Oscar nomination. I think we’re very safe," Fincher told Entertainment Weekly.


I've long been a fan of the Dragon Tattoo books, ever since I experienced that harrowing Swedish bum rape in the bath (shout to my internet homeboy Chris Blohm for helping me through that difficult time). And now Swedish Bum Rape: The Movie is returning to the big screen where it belongs, and people are suggesting it could be too much for The Academy?

 

 

 

I'm fairly sure that Oscar-nominated anal rape rule is incorrect (hello to Pulp Fiction) but let's reclaim the phrase for all awards contenders and get those Oscar folks used to it. For the next month, please use this hashtag on Twitter whenever you feel is appropriate:

#swedishbumrape 

 

And then feel free to check Google and see if I'm still the first result you get when you search for "Swedish bum rape". It's something I'm oddly proud of.
