Buffy ,'End of Days'
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.
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.
