'Soul Purpose'
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.
The reviewer foe the free weekly paper said see it in 3d but I think I trust Jessica judgement on this.
Will be seeing fury road as soon as I can. Mom offered to go with me when she was here I think she might have liked it but we opted to watch Leverage instead (which she LOVED).
I saw Pitch Perfect 2 yesterday, and thought it was very funny. Thinking back, I didn't love the music as much as in the first one, but it was very entertaining. I could have done without a few of the fat jokes. But the cameos were awesome, and I though Elizabeth Banks did a very creditable job directing.
I just saw Pitch Perfect 2 also. I enjoyed a bunch but I agree that many of the fat/ethnic jokes were trying to hard.

I saw Mad Max today. I thought it was loads of fun and didn't feel like 2 hours long.
Frankly, I thought it felt longer than two hours, but I wasn't bored and enjoyed it more than I thought I would.
However, the best part was probably the end, when the audience clapped (I can't remember the last showing I went to where that happened) and then, as the clapping died down during the quotation before the credit roll, you could hear a man loudly snoring. Everybody burst out laughing.
He was still snoring at the end of the credits.
That guitar made me laugh every time.
YES! I'm glad everyone I saw it with is adamantly anti-3D so it wasn't even a question.
Shrill and Mallory have seen Mad Max and have some thoughts about it. (Spoilers, but probably not spoilers that make any sense if you haven't seen the movie.)

THERE’S NO WATER BUT DON’T WORRY WE GLUED SKULLS ON EVERYTHING SO THERE IS THAT
The salt flats thing mystified me, as it was implied that was the Pacific Ocean. I can accept nuclear war causing the fall of civilization, but as far as I know there's not a way to evaporate the oceans off the planet without killing off everything living on it.
I puzzled over the waterfall, and then realized they were in a desert, and the water had to come from somewhere, so I decided that water came out over the aquifer it came from and the "wasted" water filtered back through the sand. Still some loss to evaporation but better than my initial impression.
