Switching to rebuttal format so as not to blow your mind (with paragraphs).

I'm leaving this part in because cute.

And I'm leaving this in because I need attention and validation even from strangers!

And the rest of it, i dunno. Office guy had minutes of screen time and said something funny in them and I laughed. Just like Mad Max I guess.


Two stabbings and A Boob Joke. Don't pander to Caltrops, BM. You can't man up this estrogen-fest, and you do everyone involved a disservice by

You spend all this time boring me with your long words like a smart person, then you show me your fantasy movie violence/comedy calculations and i wonder how many more boob jokes it would have taken to be a REAL fantasy.

Flaming queens have their times and places and I love Peacocks In The Park as much as anyone. However, the quean in the movie was both 1.) not in the book! and 2) a tired hackneyed done-over swish, a castrated Auntie Mame, and yet another in a long line of rehash and genre tripe that passes for characterization in this wash-out. If I'm watching a movie in which every character plays a clumsy stereotype, does it become magical fantasy just because one of the dudes has an eccentric career? NO, IT IS STILL A LAME MOVIE. blablabla David Bowie

Putting an exclamation mark after not in the book means you're kidding and i can't make point out how stupid it is, well played. For your other, only point, I suggest you stay away from every action movie ever made. The stereotypes and clumsiness may alarm you. And hey, David Bowie as played by David Bowie, such a stretch of the imagination.

The fundamental problem here is that you have bad taste in fantasy. All you want is dress-up, apparently. You like eye-candy and superficial exotica. Maybe you're getting your Real Movie thrills watching all the Real Movies that I freak out and can't watch (because they're too real for me) but for me fantasy isn't about dressing up and saying you're a princess. Fantasy is a place to trawl one's dreams; it is a formal stage, set off from the requirements of "realism" and linear narrative, on which we let our hopes and fears run free. Maybe the matter discovered therein can be set into a larger fabric of humanity's dreams (fairy tales, superstitions, dead religions) but it's always necessary to be a little unique, a little odd.

...and i guess you've been writing an essay to yourself this whole time. Thanks, way to use a guy. If there's anyone even in there i'm just saying Lightning Pirate wasn't so bad is all, how realistic do you need your fantasy fags to be anyway? Trawling ones dreams and all that.
