My BFF's brother (a writer) told me he didn't think Mad Max Fury Road had much of a story, just car chases. I asked him if he'd been awake. He's gonna be all offended and I don't care.
Mal: Well, look at this! Appears we got here just in the nick of time. What does that make us? Zoe: Big damn heroes, sir.

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.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.

Guy I work with thought it was a terrible movie for much the same reason. I gives him the side-eye, because
a) I can only assume that he believes stories only happen to people with a Y chromosome, and
2. even if it were true, they were awesome car chases.

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.
Yeah, that was one seriously underwhelming trailer. Which is all I've seen of Jesse Eisenberg's Luthor, but I... I was going to say I kind of like him, but I may just be kind of liking the fact that he appears to be fully awake and enjoying being there, in stark contrast to Supes and Bats. If I *had* to watch a performance going badly wrong, I'd definitely opt for misguided but lively over faithful in the most dull, plodding, soul-sucked spirit possible.

Do they understand that story can happen during the car chases and not just in between?
Edited for clarity: regarding Fury Road

I get the feeling there may not be too much of it in between either.

Woe to the fucking wicked.
So, I may have accidentally (in terms of not realizing that this would be the outcome) have put a Spanish-language movie with major homosexual themes onto the Netflix history of someone who is not me.
In my defense, it was not my idea.
To make it even better, said person is a white boy in college who, to my knowledge, is neither queer nor a Spanish speaker.

You've just widened his horizons with the recommendations Netflix is no doubt preparing as we speak.

Woe to the fucking wicked.
Weirdly, the top recommendation today on his Netflix was Practical Magic, so who even knows.

Finally watched Focus. It is, in my head, an ita movie and I was kinda not ready to watch it because of that, but today I did and...it's good. Kinda an extended Hustle episode, but that works for me.
