Young Freud posted:Yeah, because you can't get propel yourself with a fire extinguisher in real life. I don't have a problem with the propulsion. Are you telling me that two space stations where in some kind of synchronous orbit where they appear stationary relative to each other? And even if this were the case, thrusting yourself straight towards an object in another obit will not move you to that orbit. Would it be possible to perform orbital transfers using a fire extinguisher? yes. Would what she does in the movie work? No.

Using the fire extinguisher to propel yourself is certainly possible. The problem is doing so with such precision that you push yourself into another object's orbit with calculations all done in your head in a panic.

I mean, I call bullshit on even being able to look west and see another space station with the naked eye. Even if it was visible, isn't the whole premise that there's a poo poo-ton of debris in orbit right now? sure most of it is in this big cluster that's not due back yet, but seeing it, aiming at it, and being able to do the orbital transfer, if it was possible, wouldn't be anything like what's show in the movie. I wouldn't care about poo poo like this as much if it wasn't the most basic, stripped-down generic survival story.

How many sets of nipple clamps do you think we'll see in the next Mad Max movie? How many sets of nipple clamps would you like to see in the next Mad Max movie? Do you think we'll ever get a lady with extra boobs in a Mad Max movie? Please stop talking about Gravity

In all seriousness, I would like to see more casual fetish wear a la Road Warrior, especially on positive or neutral characters. It's all part of the weird Mad Max aesthetic for me, and it'd be fun to bring it back without the kinky/queer-coded = deviant = bad guys associations. Say a random Wasteland good Samaritan appears to give directions to the nearest resources, and they just happen to be absolutely covered in piercings. No remarks or explanations, just roll with it. And bring the sax back, if only to establish a pattern that every odd-numbered Max film includes an improbable saxophone moment.

Very yes. I have seen many people whose first Mad Max movie was Fury Road, who then went back and watched the original trilogy and said they were glad the BDSM chic wasn't carried over. Obviously they are uncultured philistines with bad opinions. And yeah, having more good characters wearing it would be even better, and given how much Fury Road examines the original trilogy's own tropes and themes, I wouldn't be surprised if it were to actually happen.

Returning to comparing Fury Road to other films, because I just saw Mission Impossible: Rogue Nation. I'll skip the talk on how samey the plot was (long story short, it's the same plot beats you've seen a billion times) and talk about how the female lead is treated. Rebecca Ferguson does a pretty good job in her double-agent character (it's literally her entire character from her first appearance, not a spoiler) and she really does display agency and badass skills through the film. She's somewhat inferior to Ethan Hunt, but that's because in the Mission Impossible series everyone is inferior to Ethan Hunt. He's practically a Mary Sue. The big problem is that Christopher McQuarrie (sole writer and director) repeatedly shoots her in gratuitously sexy ways for little reason except eye candy for the boys. Almost every appearance she makes for the majority of the film has her showing skin or wearing form-fitting clothing to show off her curves. There are multiple shots where she's shown off to the camera when it's completely unnecessary. Best example, she saves Tom Cruise from drowning by stripping to panties and a tank top and diving in after him. As they tumble through the current, her barely clothed rear end is repeatedly spun around in front of the camera in full focus. It's the conclusion of a tense underwater scene, and McQuarrie still felt a compulsion to sexualize the woman when she's being heroic. As she's changing into dry clothes later, he obviously chooses to show her back center frame as she goes topless and just barely avoids a clear glimpse of nipple. The Golden Triangle for that angle is all half-naked woman. The end result is that there are multiple shots where Rebecca Ferguson could have been replaced by a pin-up poster of a Playboy model hurled into shot by a production assistant and had the exact same relevance to the film.

Something I just noticed, when Furiosa nudges the unfortunate pursuit vehicle into the giant tornado, the rear wheels of the War Rig start to lift off the ground too. She almost got drawn into it as well.

Battletruck is dope as hell. They use the postapocalyptic setting as a way of grounding a swords and sorcery kind of story. It's my favorite postapocalyptic car movie.

I like to think of it as a sequel to Megaforce, with Beck's character taking the name of his old commander from the unit.

VideoTapir posted:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nP_h152ftBM This video just further shows the ridiculous, almost extreme level of detail in the film. There's at least half a dozen kills I didn't even notice (I had no clue the Valkyrie actually shot someone off the back of the Gigahorse or that the first Pole Cat guy was shot while still on the pole), but even just the costumes and props. TerminalSaint posted:No, but I noticed his shifter was a revolver. Same with the spotlight on the Peacemaker.

I also noticed Nux's gas pedal before I could hear any of the dialogue saying his name; my hearing's really poor and I had to looked up everyone's names (except Max and Furiosa) after the movie was over.

SuperMechagodzilla posted:You're on the opposite end of the truth: I'm not really sure where you got that I said "all these movies are equally bad", I specifically said it was "good, just not great" in comparison to one other movie. I just said I didn't find the movie to be the religious experience that everyone was frothing at the mouth about. My issue was the hype more than anything, I had extremely high expectations that simply were not met. That is not a fault of the movie, really, and it's being pedantic to say "it's good not great" - I mean by any stretch a movie where you don't notice the time go by should be in the "great" category. But for me, "great" means I'm still thinking about it, I'm just barely restraining myself from watching it again, I'm digging deep into alternate theories and forums posts by superstars to learn even more secrets to bolster my obsessions. This didn't happen with this movie for me. One of the reasons I came to this thread was to see if I was missing something big, but it turns out that it just wasn't my cup of tea.  Enjoy your movie goons!
