That and you can expect Hollywood to further condition young women to be like "Imperator Furiosa" and not Sophia Loren. In the meantime, if you want to watch a real action flick I recommend watching "Kelly's Heroes" instead.

Should be Imperatrix Furiosa, unless the author took Latin classes with merithyn.   :smarty: :P
cf. Fortuna Imperatrix Mundi ;)

:huh:

I copied and pasted, didn't write. Not sure of the reason for the dig.

Earlier Latin mistakes.

She was on vacation. :mad:

You keep track of people's Latin mistakes?

Everyone needs a hobby.  ;)

It's like knowing and appreciating what champagne is, a real, time-consuming hobby.

Here you go, guys. Men up in arms about the new Mad Max movie.

Thanks for making me die a little bit inside.

But frankly I see these guys at various sports and games forums I go to. So loathsome.

I like how his example, the Order 1886 showing that you can never believe in Santa Clause, was somehow connected to his issues with the movie.

I didn't know merithyn had so many vacations. They can be put to good use then. AD AVGUSTA PER ANGVSTA :)

Probably due to sexism in Languish that the ACLU should be asking the US government to combat. :(

I was barely aware that the movie had actual characters after watching the first trailers.

Heh. Lots of heat about the characters of a movie that, apparently, consists of explosions.  :lol:

Explosions and car chases. It seemed that the only real people on it were glorified stuntmen.

Must correct that, stat.

May I suggest: merging Languish with a "mommy board"?  :)

I didn't know merithyn had so many Latin mistakes that it was worth keeping track of. :unsure: Especially since I've never claimed to know Latin.

I met a man who wasn't there
He wasn't there again today
I wish, I wish he'd go away...
