Oh, and because I fantasize about Tom Hardy. But mostly it’s because of those pesky men’s rights activists. Apparently, the new MAD MAX is just too feminist. I didn’t realize men were so oppressed these days. I mean, did someone take away their reproductive rights? Or their right to vote? Maybe they are only making…

Kids Don’t Understand the Cycle of Life…
And they don’t appreciate Disney movies that throw it in their face! These two came out of The Odd Life of Timothy Green (a movie about a boy who grew out of a garden…fun) very, very upset. So much for the “feel good movie of the year.” Meanwhile, this video pretty much made my day.…
