They’re talking about getting married now. To be fair, she seems very nice and always sends Christmas cards, sent me a bday card even, and sent us an anniversary card now a year later (though they tend to be heavy on the religious themes, which makes me wary) - so I think the whole thing was a sort of benign faux pas.…

You know, I’ve been still wonderings something...my FIL’s girlfriend decided at the last minute to come to our wedding on the other side of the states, which was totally fine - she was invited originally and had declined, but with the new plan her flight arrived an hour before the wedding started and originally, my…

Granted I’m only assuming the lionesses took down the hippo...(haven’t listened to the audio)

I hear ya...but for that picture I’m sorta talking specifically about that cat (and his ladies who brought down the hippo and alerted him to the crocs as seen in the longer youtube video which I immediately looked up after seeing the above gif).

ok, this is completely off topic, but that gif is everything. Seriously, all hail the lord of fucking Cats.

That’s funny, because you’ve illustrated my problem with all the people who don’t understand what feminism is despite many reiterating it over and over again. Look, to clarify from my feminist perspective and many others, we aren’t claiming the film for ourselves as feminists because it’s about women beating down the…

That and another awesome thing that’s been pointed out on here - that Furiosa already had her plan in action completely independent of Max and his help. She wasn’t waiting for the “one”, the “hero”, or even an opportunity that presented itself as an unknown but tough rogue male. Heh. She was already doing her thing…

haha, perfect - my husband asked me twice when we left the theatre what i thought and my face was absolutely the cartoon cat with shock face (also admiration face for Mr. Miller) and I couldn’t answer until we got home.

I DO I DO PICK MEEEEEE!

Just because I mentioned “positive female storylines” in making a comparative reference to MAD MAX films does not mean that’s the primary reason I watch GOT. I was pretty obviously trying to make an absurdist point. It’s a fucking Mad Max film with all the trappings of a “testosterone-fueled action flick” and it has…

Just to add to your Mad Max enthusiasm, seriously, George Miller crafted the most gender equitable action movie of all time. This isn’t a spoiler, but Theron and Hardy get shared billing and there are other things you’ll notice, seemingly unimportant details that made want to scream THANK YOU GEORGE MILLER!!!! Also,…

Are you me?? You’ve said exactly the same thing I said to my cousin last night right down to I’m going back to see mad max again so I can immerse myself in positive female storylines! It’s unfreakingbelievable to me that all the sadism and suffering Sansa has suffered at the hands of deranged boys is not enough for…

Yes! And initially Max slows her down not that his help isn’t invaluable later. They are a great team.

I’m going again this weekend. I’m sitting at my desk and imagining the last scene before the credits rolled and my eyes are getting all salty again. Ugh, SO GOOD.

Yay!! I’ll be going to see it a second time this weekend!

Go see it. It was amazing, not only that, if we want to see more action films where women are actually getting equal footing in the plot, action, and even behind the scenes, then DEFINITELY go see it. Putting it simply, I worship at the alter of Ellen Ripley but I love B sci-fi movies like the Mad Max ones that…

I saw it last night and nope - the movie is full on the most EQUAL action movie I’ve ever seen. Furiosa gets help from Max, but she sure as hell doesn’t need him. They get equal billing in the opening credits and she, frankly, gets more lines. The wasteland is a brutal place and both men and women are equally…

hahaha, saltine...love it :)

any word on the second season of Knights of Sidonia for netflix? last update I saw was March saying it’d be back in April but that didn’t seem to pan out.

Yeah, I think it being a nice gesture is a fair assessment and my Dad definitely was all smiles. :) Also, it was kinda fun to prove to my hubs that his reluctance to believe in the supreme sentimentality of the Rainbow Connection was just plain misguided as there was not a dry eye in the house among my friends. When I…
