'Shindig'
A place to talk about movies--old and new, good and bad, high art and high cheese. It's the place to place your kittens on the award winners, gossip about upcoming fims and discuss DVD releases and extras. Spoiler policy: White font all plot-related discussion until a movie's been in wide release two weeks, and keep the major HSQ in white font until two weeks after the video/DVD release.
For people who are into show-not-tell worldbuilding with badass ladies in it who are not Trinitied, and Tom Hardy doing a weird voice with metal shit all over his face, and trucks with electric-guitar-playing slaves chained to the hood and sometimes the trucks catch fire and explode, this is the movie for you.
I'M IN.
Pro Tip: Don't see it in 3D. The conversion is terrible and the movie will be slightly out of focus the whole time
THANK YOU. I was wondering.
Sweet. This may be a Friday immediately after work movie.

I was already in after hearing about Eve Ensler consulting (& MRA groups getting pissy about this movie "destroying a piece of American culture" - which, what? Did they not know the original is Australian?), but I have now doubled down.
Sadly, I need to see AoU first. So probably no Mad Max until next weekend (or the one after).
Also - what's the app or site that lets you know when to take pee breaks? That is also now a factor. Stupid babies ruin everything. (Not really.)

I was thinking of going to see a movie tomorrow. But I have no desire to pay full price for Ultron. Or even first-run matinee price. Sad.
Hot Pursuit is actually surprisingly entertaining. I went tonight, only had to break out cotton balls to protect my eardrums from Sofia Vergara for one scene (to guffaws from the rows behind me), and had a good time that wasn't entirely predicated on Rob Kazinsky's nude scene. Though that was what got me to buy a ticket in the first place.
Fury Road was a lot of fun. Explosions! Post-apocalyptic nuttiness! When I eventually ascend and become Vampire Witch Queen, I'm borrowing an idea from the warlord; but instead of having a guitar player chained to a wall of amps on my war vehicle, I'm going to have a traveling pipe organ.
(Not spoiler-fonted because that scene was in the trailer.)
Yeah, Mad Max was amazing. Took a little while to kick in but then never let up.

Surely Caryl Struycken will be the organist?
