Angsty nerds feeling unfulfilled in this world and taking any excuse to argue the merits of an apocalypse Fallout wild west where they would like totally rock bro! Where they would be men! is what's wrong with it. If you like that then its you who need to pull up. Analysis that the modern world is soul crushing because some young men are losers? Come on.

The entire theme of the show is that life is pointless. Using a Mad Max parody universe to show that the badasses would fall into banality when given a typical suburban life is just another way of exploring this theme. The message is absolutely not that we would be better off in a post-apocalyptic world. SweetMercifulCrap! fucked around with this message at 22:29 on Aug 3, 2017 |

I'll take the rockin conclusion to 1 over the lets leave the thunderdome last half of the film 3rd one. Nothing touches Road Warrior out of the originals. NOTHING.

Mad Max is lower-key than the others mostly because it was made on a budget of about ten bucks; the others had big studios backing them, so Miller could go bigger with them.

rydiafan posted:I think you'll find the original has aged terribly and consists of an hour and a half of Max going to the beach with his family and it's boring and sucks. Its basically a step above a student film. When you compare it to works like Clerks its pretty cool, and the fact that it allowed and inspired the later films is significant too, as well as basically creating the post-apocalyptic genre as we know it. But yeah, its not like Terminator 1 and 2 or Alien and Aliens where the first is different but they're both great; Mad Max is definitely a rough and low-budget film and Mad Max 2 is the poo poo. The remake is also loving awesome. Beyond Thunderdome is different. I dunno how to compare it to the first mad max, but it tries some interesting things and does more worldbuilding than the others, but ultimately the plot is poorly paced.

Two amazing balls-to-the-wall best-of-the-best action films, and two mediocre films that you can at least see they put a lot of heart and soul into trying.

Part of the reason why Beyond Thunderdome was a bit of a mess was because producer Byron Mitchell died early into the production. He'd worked on both previous Mad Max films and was a close friend of director George Miller, and the production as a whole somewhat fell apart because of his death and the effect it had on Miller.

Post-Apocalypse//Zombie nerds are often the funniest kind of sad because the bottom line is: if you aren't already a cutthroat murderous rape-machine, you will get skullfucked by mutants in hob-nailed boots day 1. It's not like the outbreak//nuke is going to give you the iron will necessary to suddenly make hard choices, and while you waffle or puke after your first kill, you're gonna get shanked and dumped in a mud hole. I say this as someone who adores zombie and post-Apo stuff, and I think Fury Road is nearly perfect film, but I don't glorify or deify the kind of people who would succeed in that world, and I maintain no delusions about my place in it. If you aren't already a Rick... you're gonna get Mortied.

I have a very vivid memory of really pissing my friends off. They asked me what I would do in a zombie apocalypse and without pausing I said kill myself. They were legitimately very angry at me for not having action movie bullshit delusions. It was weird.

Yeah I ended up just listening to it on a lunch break and it was the most mundane poo poo imaginable.. society is .. boring. following rules.. ALSO BORING?? whaaa???? Also I think.. I *think* it unironically referenced and played the clip from Fight Club where Tyler Durden talks about being in Gen X or whatever. Without a drip of irony.

I know a good deal about herbalism/foraging and if the world ends I can exchange that knowledge for protection by making deals with the local warlord who probably doesn't know which local plants are edible and which ones will have his best soldiers making GBS threads themselves during a raider attack. I got no problem being the plucky sidekick who never touches a gun Though without my meds I'll probably kill myself anyway

In my defense the original question from my friends was full blown zombie apocalypse at the height of horde and I was living in an apartment at the time. Obviously i wouldn't shoot myself when the local news runs a story about wacky methheads biting people. But in the scenario my friends described, I'm already pretty much dead. If I just kill myself, 1.) I don't have to deal with the agony that would come with being attacked by zombies and 2.) I won't add to the horde and kill some person trying their luck.

CelticPredator posted:You know, I'm not the biggest fan of the original Mad Max, but this is straight up bonkers. The original has so much story pushed into every frame, and it's visually unique in almost every way. Not to mention car stunts that rival most big budget films today. I mean as far as it being a revolutionary film shot on a shoestring budget that launched the director's career They're completely different genres, yes.

The video in no way was heaping adoration on Tyler Durden. Holy poo poo dude, triggered much? It was an example of raging at society; they also showed a black and white film and some stock footage. Who the gently caress cares, that's not even the point of the video. Maaaaan goons love to argue with non-existent strawmen to feel superior. You go Crabtree! You get those "people" who don't get that Fight Club is satire! You're so cool man!

I mean if you boil it down like that....I guess? But I still can't really be down with that comparison. Max Max is a rad movie. Not my favorite, but pretty neat! It's only real problem is it came before Road Warrior and Fury Road. On it's own, divorced from context, it's a good little film about the end of the world.
