Also, flame throwing guitar truck: everything worked - guitar, amps, drums, flame thrower ... (The guy is called "Coma the Doof Warrior" )

Interview with production designer Colin Gibson on the topic:

Awesome. 

Love this question:

"was there a concern that a bungee-jumping flame-thrower guitar playing blind mutant in a red onesie riding a car made of amps might be one element too much?"

I love the Doof Warrior.

I love the Doof Warrior.

You should add one to your unit at work. Would improve morale no end, it would.

Watched Mad Max - very good, agree with all the high ratings.

I had been reading that it was being attacked as some sort of feminist movie, but I guess I don't have a problem with bad-ass female characters as well as male characters and I didn't see it as such.

It was the Mystery/Roosh/Theodore Beale crowd. And their neckbeard followers.

Just watched.  Popped my 3D cherry.

Enjoyed, but just not sure about that plus.

Like a one-armed Charlize Theron emasculates anyone.  Just fucking enjoy a movie rather than over-analyze it, fer hods sake.

In EUOT someone complained about the feminist cliché spouting wives and that grandmas were able to kick warrior butt.

I agree that if that's what someone takes away from the movie, it's their problem, not the movie's.

Finished Season 3 of Modern Family.

I checked around a bit for when the next season might come to Netflix. Turns out it seems unlikely that any other will.

So my options are watching it on a cable backchannel where they're in the middle of Season 5 (dubbed only AFAIK), or buy the DVDs/Stream from Amazon (at €24.99 for season 4 on DVD or €34.99 for download). What is this? The 90s?

[The Larch]

You have other options... 

[Syt]

I know.

But they shouldn't be more convenient than the legit way.

I used to be a very prolific downloader of music. Thanks to Spotify that has stopped completely.

[The Larch]

At least you have options, over here we barely have any.

Well, there is certainly nothing more feminist than a bunch of scantily-clad supermodels who need rescuing.
