I like that Burt is so excited that he even changed the font color.

Nah, I don't get upset if a movie doesn't live up to the hype. Expectations aren't a factor for me while I'm actually watching a movie.

It's just a feminist piece of propaganda isn't it?

What did you expect with a title like Furry Road?

It's a lot to unpack while I'm typing on my phone, but Hardy is wrong for the role, the action is superficially impressive but never truly expressive or lyrical (the last three Fast and Furious movies have sequences that outdo this movie), the score is generic and does not sell the set-pieces nearly enough (the classical music in the trailer should have played through the entire movie), the digital cinematography is distractingly rough and choppy, the characters and narrative fail to create an emotional connection, and the subtext is simplistic, didactic, and stale. I hope someone else directs the next Mad Max.

ho ho HOLY SHIT THIS MOVIE,..11!!!!!!!!>!>!

I've been in movies where people clapped at the end but never after the first 15 minutes. Relentless and brutal.

Putting on my Loathedvermin Cap of Hyperbole +3 for a second: George Miller just rendered all other car chase movies obsolete.

But after the first 5 minutes, I didn't think so. It gets off to a strange start. For a second I though I was watching a trailer. Cool but jarring. At first I was like "ehhhh i don't know about this. This doesn't feel right." Its too big, too theatrical...

but by the time that
Spoiler: show
Guitar Guy
shows up, I was completely on board. It was right, I was wrong. It is 1000% Mad Max

There are moments like that throughout: Little shit that doesn't work but who cares when its surrounded by so much that not only works, but stuns?

And from a design standpoint, there is enough design porn to last me quite a while, and it was used effectively, not just for show. Mad creativity.

Construction next door. We sneak over and snoop around at night. They dug a small but deep hole in front of one of the houses. My dog is pretty big but he isn't exactly an athlete.

Good thing he has you. Did you pretend that you had to save him in a hurry before a group of bandits returned?
