That movie had better win all the design Oscars. Jesus, just everything. I think I've just now caught my breath.

Buffista Movies 7: Brides for 7 Samurai
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.
Loved the whole movie, every gorgeous, loud second of it.
I just got back from it. Enjoyable and with some awe-inspiring stuntwork, but I wasn't as wowed by the overall movie as I'd expected. There have been three movies I've seen in the last couple of months that I thought were better.
Fury Road tonight. Should we go for 3D or standard?
Jess says not 3D. Jessica "Buffista Movies 7: Brides for 7 Samurai" May 12, 2015 8:33:03 pm PDT (I went back through this thread last night.)
I thought the 3D was unnecessary and kind of distracting - the entire movie was just very slightly out of focus. I vote 2D.
And says it herself! Hee.
Perfect. That's what I was hoping to hear.
Man, a FB acquaintance posted "Boyfriend called new Mad Max corny....duh, it's not supposed to be serious!"
I haven't seen it yet, so I didn't comment on her post, but I thought "Did they see a totally different movie than the one everyone else I know saw???" (Obviously, everyone is allowed to have whatever reaction they wish to a movie, but it just struck me that her post was the first one I've seen about Fury Road that wasn't "Holy shit, amazing!" and the like.)

Oh, someone I know on FB was bored by it. Thought it was too cartoony, no on had a story arc, there wasn't enough plot or dialog, and that the movie was mis-titled because it wasn't about Max. Oh, and that Tom Hardy isn't as good as Mel Gibson was.
I am very proud of myself that I didn't comment on their post.
