'War Stories'
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.
I was totally gobsmacked by Fury Road.
So much more fun than I expected. It felt like a perfect homage to the original...though I have not seen that one in a very long time. Honestly, I think it is better than the original!
Completely, surreally, cracktastic.
PS: Anyone who shares my needle phobia needs to go with someone who will cover your eyes for a couple of scenes. EEeek.
FAQ!Wife is interested in seeing Fury Road with me, but wants to know are any kids are harmed in it?
Oh Jon. I think there is one part that could be extremely upsetting to a new mother.
Could you spoilerfont some details for me?
Sure.
It is all off-screen but a baby is removed, stillborn, from a mother who is killed. One of the bad guys kind of plays with the umbilical cord .
I stress again, it is all off screen. We don't see blood or even the mother dying .
No children are menaced, though Max has visions of a child he let down.
Thanks, Bonny. I'll let her know.
I have to say, I still think 70 sounds old, but then I remember my mother is 70, and she doesn't seem so old! I did take her to see CA:TWS...but her review might have sounded a lot like that one.
I would agree with Mary's review almost word for word.
