How is it threatening me? Does it jump out of the screen and threaten to beat me with a stick? Ooh, you're referring to the "content," which consists solely of a solid four minutes of shirtless men slapping each other. I'm not threatened by it in the least; I think it's completely retarded and pointless, though.
You're fond of saying that the LoTR trilogy is "too long," well that's exactly what Sissy Boy Slap Party is. In fact, it's 3:30 minutes too long. Any point that the director was trying to make could have been accomplished in 30 seconds of slapping. In the end it becomes repetitive, boring and a complete farce of the indie film industry: "I will make shit, the film elitists will claim to love it and they will give me money." A classic example of the emperor's new clothes manifesting in the real world.
I'd be willing to bet that taxpayers' money contributed in some way to the making of Sissy Boy Slap Party - albeit through grants or subsidies to local crews - which is a tragedy, plain and simple.

Which is exactly what Chronicles of Riddick is. I've already stated that it doesn't pretend to be good. It only relies on action to move the plot forward, not the inner monologues and soliloquies that you seem to think are required in an action film in order to make it "good." In the end it succeeds at being entertaining because it doesn't pretend to be something that it isn't.
To be truly good, it would need Van Damme.
