Movie Review (What a title...)

I saw a movie the other week,
It was a cartoon, and as I sat there watching I couldn't believe the technological breakthrough in computer animation making the characters and everything else in this cartoon looking so deliciously yet dangerously lifelike
It was a cartoon for adults as it was intensely pornographic:
I saw obligatory head blows, chests burst and a stripper's breasts getting worked up the way you just gotta see to believe ....*shudder (in a tingly way)*

I saw over-the-top violence, it was pornographic

I saw a couple doing the "usual," but with a tinge of suggestion of bestiality (Is there such a thing as a BIG tinge? Oh well...)

I saw Rockstar's GTA all over the cartoon:
Carjacks, the bad-guy-main character's plight running from/after the the even-badder bad guys, over-the-top postures of the guys and girls. And gays. Kungfu fighting, music-pumping, obligatory-strip-club-bar-fighting etc. etc.
I also saw Rockstar's Bully in the cartoon:
vandalizing and fighting on the field
A parody? A plagiarism? An homage? A plagiarism as an homage to parodize? "Hurm..." as only Rorschach could deliver.

I saw a man making a desperate effort to save his li'l man from getting castrated, and that makes that man a brother a mine...

I saw the film and I couldn't help playing again the movie "Shoot 'em Up" in my mind, and made comparison. And decided that "Shoot 'em Up" is the better one.

I saw myself enjoying the cartoon, tho' the cartoon--which is a sequel--fell short from its first film. I guess the directors (same people that made the first film) tried so hard to up 'everything' in the sequel with the result most things blew (tho' not necessarily in a bad way)

I saw sweet Amy Smart, going at it again with that bloke, Jason Statham, and got hot under the collar... The bastard...
I saw the application of Law of Physics that I personally loved so much to experiment when I was but a tyke (You remember when you used to just love to rub plastic rulers as hard you might on the wooden table at school to generate static electricity after which you then got your friend's hair stood with that electrified ruler? Aah, those were the days..). On an elderly lady. Natch.

I saw a plot so ridiculous, the film has GOT to be a cartoon...

I had 90-minutes guilty-pleasure fun, that I can't wait to watch Postal again.
