Too safe? Too formulaic? 99% of these movies have stories that are 'blatantly etched out' (whatever the hell that means)?

And you've seen all the classics? Every one? Thousands of movies? Really? Sorry to burst your bubble, but nah. No offense, but if you've seen as many movies as you claim you have, you wouldn't sound this ignorant or have Mad Max on an unreachable pedestal. It would be the equivalent of someone travelling the world, eating at thousands of restaurants from different countries and cultures, and then declaring in the end that his favourite meal was the All-You-Can-Eat deal at Red Lobster. That just wouldn't happen. Don't get me wrong, Red Lobster is the shit, as is the local greasy burger joint near my house, but after travelling the world and eating at the world's greatest restaurants, could I imagine I'd still think the local burger joint is my favourite restaurant? I don't think so. Of course art is subjective (as is taste of food), but someone as (self-proclaimed) well-versed in film as you are just would never hold that opinion. Saying "I've seen pretty much all of them" in response to "You probably haven't seen a lot of '10 movies" is one of the most laughably ridiculous things I've ever heard. I know you're probably joking there but this comment I'm replying to seems too serious for its own good.
