What in the ever loving **** are you saying to me right now? You haven't watched O' Brother?

I'm in the minority on that one, a lot of die hard Coen Bros. fans like I am don't even rank O' Brother in the top half of Coen Bros. flicks but I just think it's some of the finest story telling of all time.

Yeah it’s very average and underwhelming. But it’s pleasant and has John Goodman and good music.

You could learn a little something from Hawg, King.

I was making a short joke not an ass joke!

So a subordinate in a military situation isn't subservient? And was Poe subservient when he told Leia to **** off and do it right away? And was Finn subservient to Rose when he ignored her?

I am unfortunately so far beyond you that you think you're teaching me. I...have no use for you, Abe.

Bacon is solid as always.

Bonus points for Drive and Scott Pilgrim.

I think we're stuck in this word "agenda". It doesn't necessarily mean a bad thing. And the post that kicked this whole thing off was me calling the feminist agenda in TLJ "a little heavy handed" and what I mean by that is that there was no subtlety or nuance to it at all. Like I said, if the movie would have been better I wouldn't care. Hell, I'm one of like 9 people on the anet who actually liked the new Ghostbusters movie and praised it on this very website several times. It entertained me and made me laugh.

That's weird to me.

There was definitely an agenda with Fury Road, even Miller admitted and yes Chazoe there was some backlash to it but i did love how Hardy combated that in interviews.

My take on Fury Road is that its a feminist movie and falls in line with a lot of what we are seeing now with Hollywood following a trend. With that said after having watched Fury Road a gazillion times ive found a way to actually navigate it on how i feel it matches with the rest of the series and its quite simple for me. Its not a Mad Max movie, its a Furiosa movie. Much like how Rogue One isnt specifically a SW movie (in terms of the same characters) but what i would call a side quest. Max is there but only in name. Whether or not the movie would have turned out different had Gibson returned no one really knows but the movie was meant to be a feminist take on it.

So with that approach i was able to distinguish it from past Mad Max movies and realize that its only part of the MM universe not a straight take on the character. And with that Fury Road becomes highly enjoyable when i realize what the movie is really aiming for with its characters.
