HUNDU THE BEAST GOD posted:Just take any five minutes of clips from any movie and record yourself saying "why don't they just fly to Mount Doom on those eagles" over and over again. Or take a movie made in 1982 where a character takes a bite of cake and say "I can't believe they're trying to steal this joke from [the video game] Portal." The cinemasins guy really needs to be tortured and jailed. He's way worse than pewdiepie or any other youtuber.

I'm glad that somebody is taking the dumb 'plot hole/plot' driven school of movie criticism to its logical extreme. Hopefully that will kill it.

Is this just one of those things where someone intentionally makes total bullshit points because gently caress it, outrage gets more views and ad revenue than reason?

Dude's channel was originally a pretty funny gimmick when it was like 2-4 minute videos that pointed out really egregious poo poo in very bad movies. For some reason he went to a 15-50 minute format and it's literally all poo poo like you saw above, and people love him and he does guest spots on other channels/podcasts. It's loving inexplicable.

A lot of fury road's score is recycled from 300 rise of an empire (pay attention to the ominous rising three notes, it's exactly the same). Junkie xl is basically James Horner except not emotionally manipulative or quite as lazy

I'm usually pretty anti-Australian, but seeing guys from my neighborhood getting Oscars for design and sound and local institutions like iOTA and Hugh Keyes-Byrne getting tons of publicity and money is great fun. The think pieces about what this means for the local film industry are pretty lame. Just fund more genre films, and aknowledge genre successes like Saw (basically a Mad Max spinoff) and The Badadook (which pissed off people because it tied with the Russel Crowe film The Water Diviner at our version of the Oscars, and nobody had heard of it here despite it being beloved worldwide).

Isn't most Australian cinema about sad poor Australians suffering and dying in the middle of nowhere? Which doesn't even sound all that different from Mad Max, really.

There's also movies about inner-city junkies. If I had talent, I'd recut Mad Max into a harrowing movie about cancer and paint-huffing. Similar Mad Max Aussie movies include The Rover, which I really need to see, Nick Cave's The Proposition, which everyone needs to see, and Wake in Fright, which is directed by an Englishman and is basically a documentary.

There's a few great comedies (check out Bad Eggs if you can find it), excellent horror like the Babadook and Wolf Creek, and low budget action like Mad Max and other ozploitation films.

Someone should make a CInemasinssins youtube channel E: I quite liked Beneath Hill 60 and Red Hill for (somewhat) recent Aussie films, one being a WW1 film, so war genre and the other being a 'modern' Western which was pretty good except one bit of CGI for a metaphor. Oh, The Mule (starring the Organic Mechanic) was good, just for Hugo Weaving being a total douche-cop: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fl5Pu3b-V6U drunkill fucked around with this message at 08:57 on Mar 7, 2016 |

Youtube rewards longer videos. Nessus posted:Isn't most Australian cinema about sad poor Australians suffering and dying in the middle of nowhere?

We also have a few oddball comedies and some pretty good psychological/horror films. As a country, we've also claimed Fury Road as our collective work. NZ can keep LOTR.

If they cut just enough of Furiosa's lines and gave a few more to The Dag and Organic they could have submitted it for Best Foreign Language Film.

Australian fiction of all kinds is pretty bleak in general, which I've always found odd considering that in real life this is the land of milk and honey even compared to the rest of the first world. Count Chocula posted:There's also movies about inner-city junkies. If I had talent, I'd recut Mad Max into a harrowing movie about cancer and paint-huffing. The Rover I liked but found very disappointing after Animal Kingdom, which is not just one of the best Australian films I've ever seen but one of the best films in general I've ever seen. The Proposition is also brilliant, but like David Michod, Hillcoat seems to be going downhill with each successive film.

My only complaint about Mad Max was the 'stupid made up sci-fi slang' like schlanger. My friend pointed out that all of it was real Australian bogan speak, then probably told me to go back to where I came from. I gotta be careful yelling 'fang it!' in a car, cause often people will just use that as an excuse to drive fast. Gods of Egypt is pretty Australian in terms of cast and crew.

I dunno, Dark City is good, but it's not like the direction in and of itself is what makes it good. I can totally see it being directed by the same person as The Crow and Knowing.

I met the model designer for it while doing work for the dole at a charity shop. She's now a hippie who renounced her sci-fi past and seemed pretty embarrassed by it. I want to see Gods of Egypt because it sounds trippy and fun. I did see Alex Proyas' bad photos of naked goths at an exhibition of local occult art. Garage Days is trash though. If you want to know about the Sydney indie rock scene, imagine the exact opposite of that movie. The biggest champion of Aussie cinema is noted local Quintin Tarantino. He hosted screenings of Mad Dog Morgan and Chant of Jimmie Blacksmith while he was down here promoting H8ful 8ful.

The movie closest to my experience of Australia is Wings of Desire, where a bunch of angels and artists see Crime and the City Solution, then eventually see Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds. Ignore the fact that everything else in it is as German as brautwurst.

Mad Max is returning to IMAX for one night only here, and is also playing in a few normal theatres. Is that happening elsewhere in the world, or is Australia just going to run this into the ground? I guess I could go for a 9th viewing...

Michael Bay is a weird example to use, since if you turn your brain on, you get a very different, much better movie, or series of movies, that's right there without ever being spelled out. It's more like nothing is ever going to make everyone a hundred percent happy. People complain about Inception's exposition. People complain about Mad Max's lack of exposition. The problem is that the dissenting opinions (the complaining ones, both those movies are well liked) stand out more.
