A Character Named Lord Humungus
Last night I watched Mad Max 2: The Road Warrior. I always thought that there was something kind of awesome about it. The simple vision of a post-apocalyptic world was certainly intended to be a comment on civilization in the twentieth century (the age of consumption). Humankind had lost it’s way, and would kill for oil (literally). Having not seen the film in several years, I couldn’t stop giggling at the silly representation of the sexually deviant villains. The most prominent of these characters being a twinkish man-boy, his mohawked lover and Lord Humungus (the uber dom). And to top it off, they run around the wasteland clad in used sports apparel and leather chaps with no underwear. I hope the future isn’t that bad.
