Pegg shouldn't have to defend himself. I remember taking one look at the gigantic "road map" for the 50 or so Marvel movies coming out in the next 5 years and I don't know how you can see that and not be cynical about the ridiculous pandering to nerds and nerd "culture" that's suddenly become the only way you can make money in the industry today.

I collect the Simpsons blind bag mini figs and display them on my entertainment center and would absolutely characterize them as fetish objects. Also I saw the movie twice and am going again, I'm doing my part.

Like I said about Star Wars Cantina Scene: This movie is great because it's filled with awesome poo poo that's not explained. There's no pause break for everyone to get a background story, and there's not going to be a test at the end. It's neat that Miller has all that EU stuff already worked out, but keeping it out of the film is why the film works.

I'm also not the one assigning a negative connotation to the word 'fetish'. boar guy fucked around with this message at 02:02 on May 20, 2015 |

It's all well and good that it's not in the film, and does enhance it. But it existing outside of the film does not take away from anything that was in the film, which is what this other guy started out as arguing, along with his statement that it's "just a bunch of made up poo poo," despite the fact that it's all a bunch of made up poo poo, and all made up by the same guy.

It's always insanely good when Cinema Discusso latches onto the latest feminist du jour and then a woman offers a reason for why they didn't like it/didn't think it was all things to all people and the personal attacks come rolling out.

I want a Doof Wagon USB speaker doohickey that also has an animated Doof Warrior puppet on it that grooves and thrashes related to the audio output at around a $45.00 price point. I don't need it to have an awesome subwoofer or anything, this would be for my work computer.

Psykmoe posted:A hobby dedicated to creating purposeless objects? How delightfully quaint. An innate part of human nature is the desire to collect purposeless objects. It's only a "problem" when it becomes pathological to the point of overriding all other desires like food, water, shelter or human contact. So all that bullshit aside, I'd buy a model Doof Wagon and proudly display it on my shelf of Dusty Objects I Never Touch.

Steve Yun posted:I would like to add Fist of the North Star, a martial arts series that took its biker-leather-and-sports-gear look and post-apocalyptic setting from Road Warrior, trading the car battles for kung fu where he'd make people's heads explode. Kenshiro even sorta looked vaguely like young Mel Gibson, come to think of it. The comic's creator even said outright Kenshiro is Mad Max+ Bruce Lee because that's like the coolest thing ever.  Speaking of which, fans of either might get a kick out of The Ultimate Warrior. It's not a GREAT movie, but it's literally a Fist of the North Star movie from before that existed in the seventies starring Yul Brynner, George Eastman and Max von Sydow. Directed by the same person that directed Enter the Dragon and Gymkata. It's been theorized that had Bruce Lee not died so young he would have starred in this. Watch it and marvel at what could have been. Earlier in the thread I made an effort post about other post apocalyptic flicks, I'll do a search and paste it again for people that want some suggestions. Though I have to say, nothing on earth can touch MM, MM2 and Fury Road to me.

Does any of this strike you as someone criticizing an opinion, rather than a person?

So for my 2nd viewing I wanted to catch it in 3D on the biggest screen with the best sound system available. In Seattle, that means the Cinerama or the Boing Imax screen at the pacific science center. Turns out both are only playing Avengers 2 and going straight to Tomorrowland when its run is over. I get that they didn't want to devote their single screens to a an R rated movie, especially when they could run a sure bet like AoU, but I'm still bummed. At least the smaller, but still 60 by 35 ft. Paccar Imax screen at the science center is running it.

Claiming that a review of the film that was in no way a feminist critique was, in fact, a feminist critique just because the author was a woman is kind of undermining whatever point you were trying to make.

I never said that they're being attacked for offering an opinion that says the movie not feminist, I said they were being personally attacked in response to their criticism of the film, feminist or otherwise. Can you find a quote where I said her criticism of the film was that it's not feminist, or were you lying? G-III posted:I was thinking more of the epic scale and visuals required to do a FOTNS movie properly. In which case, Mad Max Fury road definitely hit that mark. As for martial arts? Eh... The show wasn't so great at that either given the frame rate of animation was maybe 1 or 2 steps above speed racer levels of lovely. It's a nice fantasy, but I think Miller's idea of the post apocalypse is so completely threaded and entwined with the whole idea of carmageddon and his personal experiences and responses to crashes that he'd probably just end up making a boring version of Mad Max stripped of all it's flavour. He'd shoot the poo poo out of it, though, definitely.
