I agree but it still irked me. Maybe I wanted more Mel Gibson, though his Mad Max was never very mad.
Hating the Jews and Blacks isn’t mad enough for you?
Alcoholic anti-Semite Max doesn't have the same ring to it.

I do remember watching Mad Max as a kid and thinking "he doesn't seem very angry. Why do they call him that?"

Raz and I have begun a Christopher Guest binger. Started with Best in Show, followed by Waiting for Guffman. So far many laughs, cringes and warm hearts.

Yeah I don't really count Spinal Tap. Doesn't fit with the others IMO. Probably do Mighty Wind next. And yeah, I don't remember enjoying Consideration much. Will try it again soon though.
