Not sure how he earned it exactly, he played a game, it’s not the same as donating a kidney

Its his damn job, he gets paid to do this, people shove their hands in other peoples asses as a work routine , i don’t see anyone giving them a pat on the back.

Bah, there were lots of predictions about movie industry collapses as well. Empty words.

I think my favorite moment in that pairing (other than the bear pit, because duh) was when she called him “a bloody woman” to get him to eat, because she knew that he’d consider that the worst insult. I was sad to see how many people seemed to think that was internalized misogyny on her part, rather than sheer…

Me too, it’s like a modern day defense mechanism. You can say anything you want but you think you’re free from criticism once you’ve included lol.

I love your one Breanne as well, not sure of the spelling. Herself and the Kingslayer made a great buddy team. Although he’s still hateable, but teaming him up with her seemed to give him some humanity

Yeah, maybe it makes me a snob, but I automatically dismiss anyone who defends themselves using “lol,” rather than, you know, defending themselves, and tend to look somewhat askance at other usages beyond the sarcastic.

Yeah, but you know what? Feminism isn’t just about women’s rights, it’s about equality for all and how rigid gender roles hurt both sexes. That includes those issues you just mentioned.

Honestly, I didn’t get any of that at all and I’m pretty hip to that kind of thing (degree in film). The nod was one of mutual respect. Both characters recognize in each other their shared experience and common drive. That nod wasn’t of submission, or a “thanks for putting me in power.” It was, “Well done,” in a very…

I hear you, but in this case, the director explicitly expressed a desire to make a feminist movie, to the extent that he hired a famous feminist writer to help the sex slaves understand what that experience would be like. And even then, feminists weren’t crowing about it like this until the MRAs started losing their…

It seems like steroids don’t just make your dick smaller, but also your brain.

I don’t know, most dudes I know, including myself, love movies/stories with strong female characters. There’s a reason why Arya Stark is almost everyone’s favorite character in Game of Thrones.

I think the adverse reaction is due to slapping a label onto something political and using it to push an agenda. I would have…

Well a simple perspective would be he got out of the car and revealed the body, so it would be natural for the crowd to think he was their savior. Then he was magnanimous enough to pull her out of the car. Her being injured, she couldn’t manage it herself. How did he only help a little? He did as much as Theron, the…

Madness! I’m male, as you can tell from my manly name and title. I went to see this today, thought it was brilliant. I hadn’t even considered that Theron was the lead (I was just enjoying the film) until reading this and I guess she was. And a damn good job she did too. Will have to go read all the links now. It seems…

I keep reading all the MRA hatred toward this movie and I legitimately don’t get it!?! All I saw was a badass film where everyone was fan-fucking-tastic. I just want to ask people on all sides of this argument: WHY DOES EVERYTHING IN 2015 NEED TO HAVE A FUCKING AGENDA?

Sounds a bit pedantic to be honest. I’ll be more careful in future.

Wow, that’s both impressive and sad at the same time.

One dude on Facebook was losing his tits because this movie is “social engineering” and it lured him in with DUDE STUFF like cars and explosions and if it does really well at the box office, it will mean more movies about strong women.

SOCIAL ENGINEERING.

Also, “organic” pesticides? Scary as shit. Rotenone in particular can kill fish, although pyrethrin is probably OK. Relatively. It’s still a goddamn poison, which people don’t seem to grasp.
