Another detail that clicked was how The Dag (i.e., the skinny, feisty blond who isn't Splendid) is set up as the parallel to the old woman who has the heirloom seeds. I think the movie means to imply that she has an affinity for old books because, after establishing the books in the breeders' chamber, she quotes something she's read (I think it was a quote, it sounded like one) when she spots the war parties on the horizon after their first encounter with Max. Then she's the one who bonds with the seed woman and takes the satchel after she dies. Considering that, as well as the fact that she gets one of the movie's best lines ("He's a smeg who eats schlanger!"), I think she's my favorite of the wives.
My favorite part of taking my son was how he looked at me at least 3 times during the film with an incredulous smile that said, "What the hell am I looking at?" I got that look from him during the first big action scene with the russians, and also near the end when the pole cats attacked.
On an unrelated note, I would support a change of the "Thank You" button to "Awesome!", "Witness!", or even, "What a Lovely Post!"

In the evening we switched up and played Melancholia by LVT. Man, it's as sad and heavy as expected but super good. I was kind of anxious for it to be over because it was draining, emotionally. I was probably over emotional about it but if you're going to watch something like this and you don't open those doors then you might as well not bother to begin with. Unforgettable film.

Rewatched Prometheus (haven't seen it since theaters) and still enjoyed it despite some of the stupid elements.

GAH!! I can take the not digging Boyhood, but to have that in the same post that then insinuates that Prometheus is the better movie....ouf, that I cannot abide. Time to give you up to the Lord of Light.

I still have the redhead as my favourite but the young one who wants to bolt and give herself back to Joe is obviously adorable.

If I said I find Melisandre more attractive than any of the women in Fury Road, would that twist the knife a bit more?

This from the guy who keeps comparing Mad Max with Phantom Menace and Gravity. Time to give you to Ramsey Bolton.

Also, i'm hung like a Greyjoy so that could be even more of a tragedy than burning a little girl alive.
(how focked up of a TV show is it to be able to say sentences like that)
Mad dog, i think you're oversimplying (in true Barney strawman fashion) what I said. I'm not comparing Mad Max quality to Phantom Menace (which is worse) or Gravity (which is better, shoot me), I'm saying these movies have the heroin-type initial rush the first time you see them that you need that hit again, right now...again, hit me again....
Shellhead, I agree about the disappointment factor of Prometheus, epic disappointment. Which was more disappointing though, Prometheus or Tron Legacy?
charlest, yes that would twist that knife more I've got questionable taste in women but wow is that observation of yours ever hard to process. If we want to go full geek we should stack up the Dag versus the Mother of Dragons.
edit: the style of this post reminds me of when I used to post in BBS forums

I was oversimplifying as a joke. Unfortunately now you actually said that piece of shit Gravity was better than Mad Max: Fury Road. I didn't feel any rush to see Phantom Menace or Gravity again...ever...ever again. Fury Road I will assuredly watch many, many times. You should be taken out and shot for your incorrect opinions.

Melisandre haughtiness reminds me of what I imagine an art teacher at a community college would be - where her pretentions outpace her actual ability - so she loses points for that, but she's been topless about a dozen times, so she edges out the redhead in Fury Road.

The Dag, easily. Daenerys is prettier, but TD trounces her when it comes to personality. I'd listen to her curse me out in Australian slang and watch her kick chastity belts all day.

Seb, I totally get that. I want to go for dinner with TD so bad just to hopefully see her get annoyed with me, judge me and then curse me out. I think you're right about Dany, I think she would just be above all that the entire meal and i'd get bored to bits. Besides, I'd feel guilty stepping in the way of Mormont.
Mad dog, after you saw Phantom Menace the first time, you didn't want to see it again?
speaking of which did anyone see that Jake Lloyd just got arrested?
