Yes. This guy will probably next defend the "_______ Movie" series on the grounds that it's not really a retarded load of nonsense but rather making some deep statement bout society, blah blah blah. And how long before he calls The Dark Knight fascist?

Hey BRTD do you realize nobody cares about your 'insightful' commentary that you make about the posting habits about other members. Either get a life or go post polls which are actually relevant to Atlas's topic(politics).

I really don't know enough about Gully to know or care.... but I voted for the option "es" anyway.

The funny thing is that BRTD is criticizing me for doing the same stuff I often criticize academics (though mainly in English literature) for.

Perhaps I do overanalyse. But I tend to think there is something important in what is popular and what is not. In any film the story is just the scaffold on which everything else hangs. Perhaps calling 300 fascist was over the top, but it is of a particular authoritian and nihilist mindset (and so is Sin City).

Or maybe I should continue to analyze movies, it gives BRTD something to do after all.

Sin City has to be one of the most anti-authoritarian movies made in a long time. All authority figures in the movie plus the police are all portrayed as corrupt and evil.
