Mad Max: Fury Road (2015)

The roommate of my girlfriend said she watched the first 5 minutes and thought it was typical hollywood bullshit. She immediately apologized after she saw the way I looked at her.

I was about to get the chrome spray.

Watched three trailers on youtube last night, then started streaming the movie. I was absolutely blown away.

Yep, easily one of the best movies in forever.

Fury Road is up on stream sites?

The game comes out Sept 1 and is by the guys who did Just Cause. Australia/NZ is getting a collectors edition



There was a rumor of a US/EU CE that was this, but with the release date creeping up it seems fake now

There is a not insignificant chance if we have a girl next her name will be Furiosa.

Co-worker already named his new puppy Furiosa.

A close relative to me worked on this film and there is a complete script for a Furiosa prequel, an origin type thing. He had not read it and did not know if Charlize was contracted for more movies. OT somewhat, but it's not impossible we'll see more of this world.

Finally saw this on the weekend and it's hands down my favorite movie of the year, if not the last few years. The environment, costumes, makeup, and cars seethed with originality and realism. It deserves an Oscar for simply being visually incredible without the need for CGI, which imho has ironically become a boring crutch that simply throws an endless barrage of lights/movement at you that is impossible to mentally process. See the new Star Treks for an example of what I'm referring to..

This movie deserves an Oscar for cinematography, music, and costumes/makeup imho. I really hope they make a sequel...
9.5/10

Anything less than a Best Picture nomination would be mediocre.

Agreed, but I'm trying to be realistic. The movie wasn't artsy/faggy/esoteric enough to be nominated for Best Picture.

The SJW's got behind it because of a strong female character so they might do some good for once and carry it to a best picture nod.

Gladiator at its core was still a drama with extensive dialogue and a love angle for the girlies. Mad Max is a two hour car chase with limited dialogue.

Again, I hope it gets nominated for Best Picture, but ultimately I'm too cynical based on the Oscar's historical picks.

Okay so it's a lock in for the main Oscars. Best Picture, Best Director. Screenplay, best guitarist is a supporting harness.

And the acting awards:

Best Actor - Tom Hardy
Best Supporting Actor - Nux
Best Actress - Charlize
Best Supporting Actress - That dried up looking old lady - hey, she was good admit it.
