So it’s clear to me that you stopped liking movies in 1984; the rest of us didn’t. Even if you do think that these performances are great (and I do) it’s nonsensical to claim that these performances are the performances “of today,” the way that Charlize Theron’s Furiosa is “of today”. Just because a piece is a classic…

Man, those stars really speak for themselves...

It’s been two decades since Ripley was in a film. It’s been three decades since she was in a film comparable to Fury Road. The first half of your counterpoint is nonsense, which totally undermines your opinion on Max’s merits.

The Shape of Water won Best Picture and Best Director this very year at the Oscars. That is a genre film

This is the correct take.

Miller made a Mad Max film and made the hero into a disabled woman who was fucking badass and yet still showed a wide range of emotions. Furiosa is today’s Ellen Ripley.

We did not deserve to have Fury Road be as good as it is, and I attribute most of it to Charlize.

What am I doing wrong as a female gamer that always plays a female character to not get offered free goods for services?!!

That and most of the 100 people didn’t affect the plane stopping/exploding. You could probably put 20-ish people in front of the front wheel and that would do it.

Scientific experimentation this is not.

But...that’s dumb. The first two attempts the front wheel wasn’t on the ground, but for the last one it was. That’s probably your answer right there...
