true

finally she's dead.. and now he's finally "mad" with 15 minutes left.. they really should have killed her off in the beginning to give the story some.. story

[LoathedVermin72]

The first one is obnoxious. Miller is a pretty annoying director most of the time.

[Ello Sailor]

You just don't understand Aussie grit. And that's fine.

You just don't understand Aussie grit. And that's fine.

The problem is he's not gritty, though. He's wacky. Cartoonish. The Road Warrior is the only one that really finds the appropriately gritty groove. Most of that series is just inappropriately goofy. It makes so much sense that he went on to make fucking Happy Feet.

[Ello Sailor]

Sounds like you could do with some happiness in your tippy taps, hater.

[tree_]

so the consensus is correct; Road Warrior is much better than Mad Max 1. And I get why people love it, but it's just not for me. I'm not going to try Beyond Thunderdome.

[Ello Sailor]

First Jorge with baseball, then Bart with musicals, now Tree with Mad Max.

Anyone else want to rip out our hearts this week?

sorry to let you down.. I did like Furiosa and Fury Road quite abit more than the old ones.. still don't love them, but admire them for what they are.

[lennytheweedwhacker]

It works excellently as a spectacle, but the characters weren’t all that interesting. Max himself felt like a supporting actor

Do you mean supporting character? Well, he was just that!

Yet his name is in the title

[BurtReynolds]

Do you have anything of substance to say here other than you don't like them? cuz no one cares about that.

no not really.. just, i really wanted to like them and i gave them a real fair chance.. but they're just not for me

[BurtReynolds]

Give yourself an uppercut!

[Rangi Guy]

I started watching The Predator this morning - this is so bad. I got about half-way through, will hate watch the rest tomorrow

I finished watching this. It didn't get any better

Also Babe: Pig in the City

Spoiler: show

A perfect movie

[BurtReynolds]

His dark, almost cruel humor scratches my itch. The tonal clash is kinda jarring at first, but I like his mix.

[tree_]

give yourself a hug

[BurtReynolds]

I always thought of him as a great adventure movie guy who is a lot more caustic and dark than he should be able to get away with. There are plenty of endlessly gritty and miserable dystopia movies. Miller makes the post apocalypse fun!

[tragabigzanda]

Whenever there's active promotion on the part of somebody else, whenever I see somebody all dolled up for a fancy photograph and someone's handing out flyers or whenever there's active promotion for something like that, as an imposition on my day, I hate all those people and I want them to fail. I have a visceral reaction to advertising and promotion. There's just something about salesmanship that grates on me on a very base level and I react very negatively towards it. I want those people to suffer and I want their enterprises to fail.

[Ello Sailor]

Upperhug, surely.

[tree_]

Yes that is better
