Ever heard of Nasty Baby.....if so don't bother even looking it up, if you have save yourself 2 hours.

We took a stab in the dark, since it said it was a comedy.....it couldn't have been further from a comedy and not only that, it was weird as [expletive].

I have yet to see Fury Road. queud


Feminist eh? - In the dystopian future, it's abundantly clear from movies that women will dominate. And I'm ok with that, as long as they are all hot.

Dope

Dope was a great great movie and a classic in the coming of age genre that didn't get the love it deserved.

The only bad part was how much Kiersey Clemons with short hair looked like Starlin Castro.

I read all the rave reviews about how "Mad Max Fury Road" is brilliant, and I think, "I should see this movie."

Then I read all the commentary about how it's a lesson in feminism, and I think "nah."

Some of the good guys happen to be women, the bad guys are all men. That's about it. It's getting a little too much credit on that score, IMO. Mostly because some guy complained on Twitter that Max shouldn't take orders from a woman, which isn't really what happens anyway.

You could probably spin it back the other way, if you wanted. What with a woman needed the help of a be-testicled warrior to free princesses.

I started this by wondering if Ex Machina (or how I wasted one of the few grown up movies I get to watch on tedious boredom) is getting feminism credit. That movie should have been 8 minutes long.

Well. Setting aside that no characters merely "happens to be," but are, by design: the movie is literally about their escape from sexual slavery under a cruel patriarch.

I'm not saying that's not there, but is the story of female slaves escaping a man inherently feminist? I suppose for that world, it is. In terms of our world, there's nothing particularly forward thinking being advanced. Which is fine, and I'm not saying "chauvinists, this movie is totally cool." I think there is some added resonance that wouldnt be there if it was just Max rescuing the Mothers, but I think the casting is more feminist than the story.

When I watched Fury Road I instantly regretted not seeing it in the theater.

Spectre was too long and not as good as Skyfall. But it was fun enough. I enjoyed the humor and a few excellent fight sequences.
