First two paragraphs almost make me want to pass on it, but I know it will look amazing regardless.

It has a 98% on Rotten Tomatoes right now, must be pretty legit. As long the creator of the vagina monologues approves I'll watch it. I'm sure the feminist subtext will be subtle and not too distracting though. I seriously doubt the dialogue will be like, "We r safe from teh patriarchy now, we r feminists lol, gender is a spectrum, not binaryz." ... "I am a pansexual" - Charlezoe Theronz

Personally I felt like I was having a bad acid trip when I saw the trailer for it on big screen...

I don't doubt it will be amazing visually and will probably have some great action. Those are the two reasons to see it anyway. I will watch it.

I doubt it will be subtext, but hopefully it won't get in the way. I read this article as a puff piece, and I hope half of the things said in it are as wildly exaggerated as they sound, particularly the part about extras with fleshed out back stories. I absolutely don't want to see a mad max movie with a bunch of chatterboxes going on about "muh freedom and dignity." I want to hear Australians say the word "geesoleene" every other word. I'm torn about the ultraleft radfem shit because making her a genderfluid transfurry is a straight shot to so-bad-it's-good territory.

Can anyone confirm or deny?

Edit: Girlfriend just asked who Mad Max is.... Practicing my breathing techniques before I pick up a DV charge.
