Hollywood couldn't let it go out without an unnecessary major female role being shoved into the thing and her presence weakened the immediacy of the material. She was a big fan of the book, so, being a woman, had to make sure a large part of it was all about HER and HER feelings 'if she was in that situation'. As such, the father / son aspect is played down, and the intensity disperses.

The problem is that Hollywood usually aims for the Four Quadrants to make more $$$. So we end up with Shit like this.

The best series and movies IMO are usually male dominated and women play roles as insignificant as possible: True Detective, The Sopranos, Breaking Bad (Skyler is a pain in the Ass though), Fight Club etc.

For those of you that haven't seen Ray Donovan; I recommend checking it out, it's pretty good.

Studios count on big bucks overseas, where people will flock to Hollywood garbage without giving a fuck about the writing but because local film industries can't make things blow up so good.

59 critic review with an almost perfect score. Not a good sign since critics being so jaded from watching too many movies often value agenda over entertainment. I'm curious on how well the audience will react to it.

They're trying to rejig the social landscape to make way for Hillary. It's probably more unconsciously coordinated than consciously, but it's still there. I peg (heh) this start of this campaign to way back in 2005, when ABC debuted the short-lived drama about a woman president, "Commander-in-Chief," starring Geena Davis.

At least they are correcting themselves there about calling ROK a MRA affiliated site:

Quote:Still, if you're looking for a high-octane dose of female empowerment this weekend, you can skip Pitch Perfect 2 and head on the chase with Mad Max instead.

You can pretend all those spectacular explosions are blowing up tired gender stereotypes—or maybe just sexism on the Internet.

Correction: The Return of Kings website does not align itself with the men's rights movement.

Ah - I wonder how many men love to see a healthy dose of female empowerment. I am only sorry that they did not make all heroines fat & "strong", but maybe they will get there since they want to issue 2 more movies in a new Mad Maxipad trilogy.

Quote:"I'm not a fan of scrawny little girls pretending to kick butt in movies; I just don’t buy it," she says with a laugh. "And I hate those moments in movies where the tiniest little arms are hitting a guy who is four times her size and we are supposed to believe it. Because I have such broad shoulders and a broad back, other than toning, I don’t usually want to enhance my upper body, but obviously on this movie I did. Towards the end of the movie I could bench press a lot, but I probably could not walk up a flight of stairs, because I had so neglected the bottom part of my body. I was a little bit like Popeye - just weird strong muscles here and nothing down there.”

http://www.telegraph.co.uk/film/mad-max-...interview/

That's what Charlize Theron had to say, but she claimed she worked it all out and can benchpress "a lot". I am sure we will see her one-armed-character be much stronger than 95% of the men she encounters. Also the highest piece of equipment that survived the apocalypse seems to be her bionic arm. We are back to the 1970s, but her bionic arm from the Star Wars universe was happily saved to make a woman appear more badass.

On the other hand you cannot blame an actress for accepting such a role - who wouldn't for 20 mio. $ and such an exposure.

She is also holding on for dear life for the hypergamy prize Nr. 1 after having moved in with the 54yo Sean Penn:


Keep him close and try to get pregnant soon darling - that guy just recently dumped Scarlett Johansson and could easily get 20-something models instead of 39-year-old actresses who are hitting the wall.

But we shouldn't be unfair here - she is innocent as an actress and her remark about tiny girls beating 4 times bigger men in movies are probably a side hit there, since movie actors are under contract forbidden to talk negatively about the movies they are in - even if they think it's all a bunch of crap.

This one paragraph from there is hilarious:

Quote:Misogynists might be the first people to dismiss complaints about representation with time-honored comments like “she’s ‘just’ a character” or “it’s ‘just’ a movie/book/video game,” but by admitting they’re threatened by Charlize Theron and Emilia Clarke’s bad-assery, Clarey and his commenters are also agreeing that the media we consume and the stories we tell are hugely important.

Threatened by two scrawny chicks whom would get knocked to the ground with ease by any random swinging dick on the street? Bitch please.

P.S You can count me as someone who won't be seeing this. The lack of Mel Gibson and now this feminist bullshit is too much.

I'm finding it highly-unusual that they're paying so much attention to our little website of basement-dwelling neckbeard virgins who'll never know the touch of a woman about such a random topic as our disinterest in an agenda-pushing bait-and-switch action movie. Out of all the things we talk about, this generates pushback?

Keep talking about it. Keep mocking it. They're scared. Why?

Part of me wonders if the studio is now using them to stir up controversy in order to sell more tickets.

Huh, more evidence for my theory Leftists want to normalise Child Sex, as I wrote about here, and in the Gamergate Thread recently:

Writer Eve Ensler's original version of 'The Vagina Monologues' featured a woman speaking of her childhood sexual abuse before having a positive healing experience by having sex with a much older woman.

This experience happened when the character is a 13-year-old girl. The character spoke about it as such: "If it was rape, it was a good rape".

Later versions of the play raised the age of the character to sixteen, (still sketchy), and removed the rape line.

She can say that, and still be employable in Leftist Hollywood.

This matches my own observations in the criminal justice system: lesbian rape of minors is something that gets ignored by a dyke-filled police force.

Go back and read that creepy Mary Sue article again.

EDIT: Oh fuck, it gets worse.

Quote:Part of the play comes from Ensler's interviews with a six-year-old girl, which included questions such as what her vagina smells like, what it would wear, and what it would say if it could speak.

Quote:Theron is disturbed by the lack of progress.

"We've talked about this for a long time and the fact we're still talking about it and it hasn't happened is very frustrating," she said.

"It feels very caveman. Equal pay and equal rights is something that should have happened a long time ago."

The 39-year-old said it was a societal problem rather than simply an issue for the film industry because when female-driven movies were made "people didn't go and see them".

"I don't think it's a question of we need to make more of them (but) we need people to actually go and see them - to have an interest," she said.

Gotta love this ass backwards logic from that NZ Herald article. "We have made these 'female-driven movies' and people just don't go to see them...clearly it's not that people don't like movies with hamfisted forced unrealistic characters and agendas, it's that there's something wrong with the people themselves!"

How fucking arrogant, and I bet that attitude is rife in plenty of Hollywood circles.

Reminds me of women scolding men for not being attracted to fat chicks. You can't FORCE interest for god's sake. This is pathetic and reeks of begging people to go see a movie for some stupid fucking "cause."

Gotta love the token "equal pay and equal rights" horseshit she threw in there as well.

EDIT:

Quote:"Yesterday we were travelling and I was getting some updates on some of the reviews coming in and it's just tremendous how people are emotionally tapping into this story and being affected by it."

Yes, this is what the vast majority male fanbase of the Mad Max series wants out of this movie. To "tap in emotionally" and have their FEEEELINGSSZZZZZ affected.

It's a fucking desert apocalypse action movie...how out of touch can you be

Double EDIT: I know that the first two movies had some deeper themes and character development, but it's 2015 and I don't expect anything but garbage from Hollywood these days

Quote:The Cannes film festival itself has come under fire in recent years for failing to give enough representation to women and this year's top competition features just two female directors out of 19 selections.

Theron is disturbed by the lack of progress.

"We've talked about this for a long time and the fact we're still talking about it and it hasn't happened is very frustrating," she said.

Theron talks about the fact that most good movie directors as well as producers are men. She wants to close that gender gap.

Well - Hollywood top positions are highly coveted, extremely highly paid and are the equivalents of CEO level jobs in the corporate world. So far our world is not crazy enough to accept feminist Bitterbitches play with 300 mio. budgets just to tank it all in the glory of feminism or just because of having a vagina. No one is going to give women such a chance without plenty of superior achievement and having become better than men.

Even Huffingpost published an article on why MRAs don't want you to see Mad Max. This is just proof of feminist indoctrination like AB said. Why would all the MSM sites go hard on writing these articles. Wouldn't be suprisef to know a JournoPro/Gamejourno pro like collusion is happening again in secrecy. We should try to find out about it and expose it again.
