Hmm.
Personally, I can't believe this place is so deserted, so I don't know where said "fanboys" are. Maybe I'm it.
Before last night I'd never seen this little gem, and I can't believe it took me so long to get to it. Every shot has something interesting going on, every scene is a delight. The colours scorch one's eyeballs and the soundtrack is deliriously of its time. The cast sells a witty script and the stunts are effective. The Exterminating Angel plus Mad Max, indeed. And Tarantino aside, it's pretty clear that Nicholas Winding Refn has also seen this one a few times.
What I liked most about it was how gracefully it went from a disarmingly humourous vision of a dystopian future to genuine claustrophobia and fear.
By "condition the masses", do you mean suggesting that racial intolerance is...bad? That's been known for a bit longer than thirty years. And most of us don't need movies to get that "message".
I think your other criticisms are pretty silly, but that one is textbook race-based trolling under the guise of...well, your faux-"tell it like it is" user name. Fortunately, it looks like I'm the only one here, so it took nine months for you to get a nibble.
And hell, I just wanted to talk about how boss this movie is, not get bogged down in a discussion about why you might want to retire the word "retarded".
