So this morning it occured to me that I have a great double feature: Bronson followed by Chopper; 2 movies about insanely violent prisoners, one in the UK and one in Australia. I’m gonna sit down tonight and watch them both! Maybe I should start off with Chopper, tho… Ah well, I’ll figure that part out when I sit down. 
Oh my! The trailer looks awesome, and a two hour post apocalyptic car chase for a plot is right up my alley. I’ll see it opening night. If anything could have made Mad Max 2 better, it would have been more car chases.
And yeah, if anything doomed Thunderdome to being not very cool, it was a complete lack of the Falcon. That car is pretty much part of the character.
The critics reviews are in over at Rotten Tomatoes. Looks like a major hit.
One negative review out of 45.
Sounds like Cirque Du Soleil meets Nitro Circus. I’m in.
But . . . but . . . George Miller is a MASTERMIND! The clip even says so!
All the reviews seem to agree that Max is a secondary character. It’s Theron’s character that gets the screentime. Which is fine, but I’m not interested in Road Vagina Monologues.
Apparently a lot of stuff blows up.
Yeah, that’s what this movie is going to be. :rolleyes: :rolleyes: :rolleyes:
What does it mean, “Road Vagina Monologues”?
I have no idea. I just assumed it was supposed to be a disparaging reference to the fact that a lead role in the movie is played by a woman.
If that was not the intention, maybe emarkp can come back and clarify the undoubtedly penetrating and insightful idea behind his comment.
I assume you’re not familiar with the Vagina Monologues. On the road. I don’t think there’s any other hidden meaning there except a stupid statement.
Yeah, Charlize Theron wouldn’t shut up about relationships and fashion in that Monster movie. They spent too much time on her beauty regimen. 
I’m familiar with the Vagina Monologues. That’s why is assumed it was a cheap shot at the presence of a female lead in the movie.
I assumed so too.
Our semester ended last week, exams are this week, and i should have all my grading completed by about next Wednesday.
First item on my post-grading agenda is this movie. I’m really looking forward to it.
No, it has to do with the actual author of the Vagina Monologues being involved with the film.
And several reviews say that Max is a secondary character for most of the movie.
Don’t worry, seeing the movie won’t threaten your masculinity in any way.
Thanks for the clarification.
Your comment was still stupid.
Happy now?
High-larious. Don’t hit your own chin with your knee when it jerks like that. Be sure to unwad your panties too.
I prefer my message movies as ABC after school specials, not summer blockbusters. It may be the case that the message doesn’t make the movie groanworthy. But I find it unlikely.
A female in a lead role makes it a message movie? 
And a tip: when you’re trying to convince us that your comment wasn’t sexist, it doesn’t help your case when you use “panties-wearer” as an attempted insult.
Oh yes it will threaten his masculinity. It will turn him into a pansy leprechaun. He’d best stay away, and go look for movies with only men in them. Big, strong, half-naked men. Glistening with sweat and just the right amount of hairiness to suit his tastes. Tasty, hairy, big strong glistening men. No women within a thousand miles to threaten his masculinity. And don’t forget the Desert Island discs with only men singing heavy metal.
