So, I just finished watching Fury Road so I could tear it apart for you guys.

But I can't.  That was the best movie of the franchise, hands-down, no question.

I also like the idea that it doesn't fit in the series.  It has a old-school Heavy Metal magazine feel to it, where continuity isn't actually a thing.

9.5/10, will watch a million times.

"Billy, when I say that ethics is our number one priority and safety is also our number one priority, you should take that to mean exactly what I said. Also quality. That's our number one priority as well. Don't look at me that way, you're in the corporate world now and this is how it works."

That movie is fucking great.

Not that it made me happy, but I was really impressed with the random death of someone who was built up to be a "makes it to the end" character.

I thought it was quite excellent too, but I haven't watched any of the other Mad Max movies and am a sucker for Charlize Theron.

I caught part of a bootleg that happened to be playing at a friend's place. Saw the last 20 min or so, but it WAS impressive. I'd watch the whole thing, but I don't watch a lot of movies these days. No TV, been like 6 years. Don't miss it much, but have to visit with friends to watch cool movies and/or get culture trolled.

I will never forget the dude that shouted "MY DEATH!!!"
That gave me an awkward rage-boner. The movie was beautifully shot and performed!
You can't get out backward.  You have to go forward to go back.. better press on! - Willie Wonka, PBUH

Life can be seen as a game with no reset button, no extra lives, and if the power goes out there is no restarting.  If that's all you see life as you are not long for this world, and never will get it.

I freaking loved that movie. I am very glad that my housemate has a fuckhuge TV that I can put it on when I get the Blu-Ray.

I saw Fury Road and then Jurassic World in the same weekend. It wasn't even a fair comparison.

That was, indeed, hardly fair.  Jurassic World is okay.  It's a fun little derp movie.

I saw Jurassic Park on the bus in Peru (the intercity buses are nicer than U.S. airplanes, and have better food, too) in Spanish with Spanish subtitles, and the great thing is that as little Spanish as I speak, it was fine because the dialogue was 100% irrelevant to the movie.

Especially if you've seen the original Jurassic Park, as they're exactly the same movie.

Yes, with loyal pet velociraptors and a history of failure.

Eater of Clowns

I've got to see it again. I went into the theater when it came out expecting to be mildly amused and left it waving a knife out the window of a car screaming "DON'T WEAR MY HAT HEY DON'T WEAR MY HAT" while my driver blew like three stop signs. It was so much fun.

I thought the movie was an accurate prediction of life in California when the state finally dries up and is reclaimed by the desert.
