Neo Rasa posted:I was going to say, his complaint about how NO ONE GIVES ORDERS TO MAX ? Uh, yeah except for the part where for 1/3 of the franchise he gets ordered around by Fifi the topless lord of leather. I loved the AV Club quote on this: "Indeed, other than his commanding officer in Mad Max, his captors in The Road Warrior, and Tina Turner in Beyond Thunderdome, Mad Max is simply always in charge of his own destiny as a pawn who’s manipulated by circumstance into various power struggles he wants no part of, and is almost never being told what to do more than once or twice per movie. And certainly never by a woman, except when they are women."

I can't wait for the pissed off gender politics arguments about this movie. It wears its feminism on its sleeve, and that combined with ultra-intense vehicular kaboom action makes for a really cool combination.

At a push I'd say some of the combat is really carefully edited around the actual impact, so you feel that it's pulling its punches on the gore, but it's a minor thing and probably needed to avoid an NC-17. edit: Also Immortan Joe, despite being largely silent (and when he speaks kinda incomprehensible), is weirdly complex and kinda sympathetic while also being a complete bastard. The whole character is really well done. Necrothatcher fucked around with this message at 01:00 on May 14, 2015 |

I'm a little bummed that Warner hasn't given my theater authorization to run a test screening--which is really just code for the staff getting to see it at midnight the night before opening--but we're already opening it a day earlier than all the other places in town so I'm not going to complain too hard. Being awesome like we are, we're getting a few staff members to dress up all post-apocalyptic and I've volunteered a couple civil defense radiological meters so we can give people a scan along with tearing their ticket. Some local dude is going to bring his Mad Max-ish rat rod around to park in front of the place too. And any patron who shows up in a decent costume gets free popcorn. Should make for some good pictures at least! I am hype. Officially hype. On a scale of Mad to Max I'm Mad to the Max.

Minor spoilers I've been driving my family crazy screaming "I had a baby brother! And he was perfect in every way!" like Rictus for the last 3 days. I can't think of the last time that a film had such a genuinely sad, sympathetic moment for a rather minor character who is still unquestionably evil.

The sound, the soundtrack, and the way audio is used in this movie is loving amazing. It's not really worth describing in text, needs to be experienced. But the way the action onscreen weaves in and out of the soundtrack is superbly done.

The funniest thing about MRAs is that their work has given rise to the "fake geek guy." Despite being at nerdy stuff with tons of men and women all the time I've yet to meet the mythical "fake geek girl" they talk about so much, but thanks to MRAs fake geek guys are everywhere now.

Snowman_McK posted:Can you elaborate? Because this is mystifying and fascinating sounding Okay, so for a long time there would be articles on the internet from the ur-MRAs about the "fake geek girl" and such. The concept was that women are, as a rule, never genuinely interested in MAN ONLY NERD ACTIVITIES like video games, comic books, etc. That somehow, the entire gender collectively just sort of pretends to be super passionate about video games, web design, comics, programming, movies, etc. ONLY A REAL MAN could REALLY UNDERSTAND these things. This is still a very common line of thought even today. However, and it's anecdotal, but in my own travels through life I've never met one of these women who is like, just faking being super passionate about any of these things. Like people who aren't into a thing are just...not into a thing and say as much? This is how humans work most of the time. 2015: NOW: This tone of this MRA article about Mad Max: Fury Road is something I've seen in person all of the time. In an enthusiasm to prove expertise in all things, they accidentally conflate "their" vision of how something is with how something is. So the same way you have an article like this where the person clearly never even watched any of the movies, you have dudes with minimal knowledge of a thing just sort of assuming that their take on it is the take. Annoying know it alls with no grasp of reality beyond their own vision of how things ought to be have of course existed since the dawn of time, obviously that's not new. But I feel like I've been encountering this more and more where the disparity between the guy's take and the text of the media is so at odds that I have to question if they read or watched it. They're faking it to appear cool. And again, I never hold it against someone if they're not into the same stuff as me or anything like that, just if someone's going to talk the talk...

I'm seeing this tomorrow and cannot wait. Since I'm stuck on a tropical atoll in the middle of nowhere we have exactly one semi-outdoor theatre (fortunately with pretty good sound, unless it pours rain and drowns out the audio). Good news is they're playing two showings Friday, one Saturday and one Sunday and it's all free. Funny thing I never noticed since I've been rewatching the original trilogy to prepare for this one. At the finale of Mad Max, Max finds Johnny looting the boots off of a dead man he found in a crashed truck. Mad Max 2 opens up with Max finding a crashed vehicle and looting the corpse of the driver. He even salvages the gasoline leaking from the tank in a similar manner to the way he rigged up a delay fuse in the original.

Relentless, awesome, and the trailers really spoil very little. Most of the big stunts in the trailers are from the first (of many) chases. Also, almost everyone still has Australian accents - except Charlize Theron and whatever Tom Hardy was going for.
