Iron Man 2 was messy, but it was decently entertaining. I can't even remember the Hulk. It's like the Amazing Spider Man in that I know I saw it, but it's just one long bland "meh" in my memory.

Not that he counts as an A-lister, but I think I remember hearing that he was in the running to be Captain America. I can totally see it.

hahahahahahaha oh my god, Trump would actually be a great model for casting M.O.D.O.K

That is explained in the other long article about him I've seen passed around the interwebs recently, which shockingly was not the article linked here. Anyway, it was for Obama's surprise birthday party. He was part of the surprise, since Obama is a fan. And then he kind of jokingly challenged the president to an…

I honestly wish we could give people away to the other side. I would happily let the right have Michael Moore. His brand of grandstanding and obnoxiousness is so much more in line with their media personalities. All he needs is a quick change in politics.

He's going scary fast when he comes out of that slide.

IVF isn't the only option. There's also IUI, which is basically taking donor sperm and inserting it during the fertile window.

Thanks!

And you've stated it far more concisely and cogently than I could, so thanks. In summary: Fury Road is the Best.

i guess the incredibly fine distinction I'm cutting is that I think limiting the analogy to organized religion (especially in modern times) doesn't quite fit and maybe even steals some of its power. But myths belong to more than centralized religion (which is itself such a broad category that it might as well be…

I've never thought of him as particularly liberal. He's not your current class of conservative, but he's definitely in that same asshole category that Assange, Dawkins, and a good portion of certain segments of reddit fall into. And sadly a few of my old college friends, who certainly THINK of themselves as liberal,…

I don't know if it's religion per se - certainly Immortan Joe has got the whole death cult thing going on, but surely the Many Mothers had some sort of spiritual vibe as well.

Not the sons, the Bullet Farmer and the People Eater. So you get: The Patriarch, The Military-Industrial Complex, and Capitalism, as a radical friend of mine put it.

I would opt for being a badass biker granny.

I saw an article on….pbs (?) website about Haiti as a what happens when you put Ayn Rand in practice, and that it's a barbaric hellscape for everyone, even the rich.

Isn't that the old woman who tries to shoot him? Seems to involve lots of tattoos

But it can totally stand up to analysis, which is great.

I would not say the movie was particularly closely aligned with the book, so I suspect fridging her may have been the plan.

Oh yes, I loved that aspect of the first movie. It also made it seem more grounded - both recognizing that there were people involved, and people get hurt, and also giving it stakes outside the protagonists' escape, because you end up caring about the other people involved. It was one thing I did not like about…
