The Dead Don't Hurt is a portrait of a passionate woman determined to stand up for herself in an unforgiving world dominated by ruthless menThe stories happened. No one bothered to write them.
Did she go out and get a restraining order? They spoke about it on Morning Joe. I will probably see it Tuesday. Let's see...THE CIVIL WAR. So 1860. Nevada. A woman left to defends herself from all the horny men in town while hubby fights in the war... Jefferson posted a bunch of westerns as proof MEN are action heroes, but the point made this morning was there were PLENTY of women out west. No one bothered writing their stories. My sister corrected me. Grandmother's homestead was in North Dakota. Not Nebraska. Confused her with the mother-in-law I suppose who was from Nebraska. Grandma was from Maine. Lived on the homestead in North Dakota while hubby allegedly did the traveling salesman thing. Only grandma found a letter in his coat when he returned from.one of his trip that indicated he hadn't divorced that first wife (meaning the marriage to Grandmother wasn't valid). This is a fun family fact as that side likes to go on about how grandma never divorced their father so the marriage to my grandfather wasn't valid making mom & her brother the bastards... But still, grandma was on a homestead with 4 or 6 kids (who's counting?) On her on. No man to help around the 1920s. She has a story how a neighbor kid fell into the river one spring runoff when the water was like ice & the river overflowing & she dove in to save the kid even though she couldn't swim. The kid was saved, but grandma was left for dead on the side of the river, but aroused to cough up the water she swallowed & obviously survived. I know she was in upstate New York by the 1930s, though that husband worked the railroad so also wasn't around much. Grandma didn't hear from him for a week or so & sent one of the older boys to check on him. They found him passed out or dead from pneumonia. But women are brittle flowers that need a man to take care of them! Women couldn't be action heroes!

I forgot to mention NZ had an R20 rating as well. That rating was abolished around 1985. Yes, from about 1987, one could rent hardcore porn vhs from local video stores. They had to have their own section, were rated with a bright red R18 certificate and had a consumer note about explicit sexual content. As long as they didn’t have sexually violent imagery they weren’t seen as a problem anymore. Wait, you’re a kiwi? So not a real Aussie? LOL I’m not a real Kiwi either….😆

She played two roles. A woman who was with Furiosa’s mother and also a disfigured gang warrior woman. Ah! Now I know about the first. I don't recall the second one. And also in a cameo appearance was Harry Skywalker as Colossus Retardis.

Can you show us on the doll (that appears to be female) where you were hurt?
You've never heard of Laura Ingalls Wilder?

The House on the Prarie stories included rape? I thought the men were present in that story as well. I never read them. Maybe watched the series once or twice. No memory of it. Sort of like I know I saw The Waltons once or twice but wasn't a regular viewer because other kids teased me for having the same name as the one sister. Im saying HUNDREDS of westerns written/movies made. How many are from the perspective of the women? Usually the guy rides in to save the women. But look at you laughing at my grandmother. She didn't exist?

Wait... Chris Hemsworth's wife entered in the movie?!
I didn't even notice her at all.
She played two roles. A woman who was with Furiosa’s mother and also a disfigured gang warrior woman. The women in the village were basically cameos outside of Furiosa's mother & another gal who tagged along on the rescue effort. I don't believe the disfigured gang member spoke. As I recall, she entered as part of another gang Dementus usurped. He gave members of the original gang a shot at killing their former leader to show their loyalty to him & she was one of the turncoats who willingly killed that former leader. I believe she was part of the crew that ended up causing Furiosa to lose her arm.

uh, YEAH! Using today's modern interpretation of the word? Yeah, lots and lots of rape went on back then.
Did they say "Goodnight, merh"? :P
Again, you're using today's modern views to apply to the past. Women run the world? Sorry history was never fair or nice. Not like it is now, of course.
Was I laughing at Grandma? Calling her a liar? Or was that just how you took it? She obviously existed, you're here.

Mary Ellen. The me in my moniker stands for Mary Ellen. So yes, "Goodnight, Mary Ellen" I was named after one of my father's aunts. In the West? You know some of those brothel running gals had enough money back in the day to fund some of the niceties of life like schools & stuff? That they were the ones turned to for funding a new city hall like Trump & that ice rink you are so fond of? But we don't talk about those gals, right? They are just characters in those old westerns.

As long as there are no white savior tropes and dark people worshipping a white man, I’ll check it out… So what you are asking for, is black saviour tropes and white people worshipping a black man, I’ll call out your race baiting when I see it, racist!

Funny. Nobody shits on Ripley, Sarah Connor, Alita Battle Angel, etc cause they are well written characters. If you don't want to be called a girl boss or a Mary sue write better characters. Unfortunately none of these people. Especially at Disney actually know how to write female characters. So they end up just mirroring Male characteristics..Or are too afraid to show any of their female characters as vulnerable. I think in this instance he's calling her a girl boss cause she's the female lead in an action film...Which is quite frankly not as popular has Male led action stars..Nor does Female lead action stars actually put females in the seats. Yet they insist on doing it no matter how much it fails. Also nerd said the movie was good. And its probably the best action movie of a year Actually, Alita took flack for it not being a Japanese cast. Anime fans hate 90% of the live action anime films, I swear. Nerdrotic bitched it was a mad Max film without Max which is stupid. It is set in that universe, but isn't about Max, so why insert him? jeffersoncody To frame it, it is like saying Donald Trump should be in every film set in NYC in the 80s & 90s because he lived there, making it "Trump Universe" Max can't be in every corner of the Wasteland. Swimm The character is well written. As I said, Joe comes off better when seen against the big dreams/no managerial skills Dementus (who has to have the most lines in the film. Loves to talk). He rules through violence, not skill. We see the child version of Furiosa for around half the film. By the time Taylor-Joy appears, we have a grip on how single minded Furiosa is (maybe like John Wick is described as similarly Lazer focused on his goal) It appeared like there was an overhead shot of Max looking down from a cliff top with his binoculars onto the ensuing chaos below, just like he did in Mad Max 2. His Ford Falcon FB GT next to him.

My mate told that in NZ you could rent X-rated pornos at the average video store back in the day. I forgot to mention NZ had an R20 rating as well. That rating was abolished around 1985. Yes, from about 1987, one could rent hardcore porn vhs from local video stores. They had to have their own section, were rated with a bright red R18 certificate and had a consumer note about explicit sexual content. As long as they didn’t have sexually violent imagery they weren’t seen as a problem anymore. I actually have two original movie posters on my wall with that R20 rating, a couple of the last films to receive it. Also the film censor was actually the first to classify hardcore porn with an R18 rating, followed by the newly created video censor the following year. This led to some VHS tapes being classified by both censors, such as this one - the black and white R18 label is from the film censor, the red one is from the video censor.

I had an Australian I Spit On Your Grave daybill, the size of your Insatiable poster. I’ve got a massive poster collection under my bed. Some have the NZ rating labels on them and some are stamped on that they used up until the early 80’s. Yes, the VRA rated home videos from mid 80’s A separate body that sometimes clashed with the film censor. The VRA seemed more stringent too.

The film censor in the 80s, Arthur Everard, was very liberal, and passed quite a few controversial movies uncut, including The Texas Chain Saw Massacre, I Spit on Your Grave, The Driller Killer, and The Last House on the Left. The VRA was definitely stricter.

I would ask you why you repeatedly let other people do your thinking for you if it wasn't self-evident.
