I love when there's a guy who shows up who thinks he's the only one around who knows the [i]real[/i] version of an historical event. It's never the version that you can read about in old papers or read or watch in thoroughly researched texts and documentaties. I imagine it's a version made up by an ...

[quote]For a low budget film ( $ 400,000 ) that earned over 100 million world wide and launched a franchise, how's about showing a bit of respect ?[/quote] Movies that led to superior sequels are then retroactively barred from even benign/light criticism? How many other Ozploitation flicks fro...

[quote]I'm just glad that the piece of shite is dead(Abbie, that is) and has been for quite awhile.[/quote] You're one classy POS, dude. Straight trash. ...

[quote] I always interpreted it as Australia got lucky- In 1979, who would want to nuke Australia? They didnt have any nuclear weapons. The US wouldnt nuke them. Russia shouldn't need to nuke them. But they would be one of the only ones left with little outside resources. Just them on the island[/q...

[quote]Your complaint is there's grass in a world that is collapsing into dystopia? What is "our idea" of post-apocalyptic? We're talking about George Miller's idea of post-apocalyptic. You know, the guy who invented the genre with this movie.[/quote] I didn't make a complaint. I'm saying that it...

[quote]Lol, really? Look up descriptions for Mad Max. Almost all of them are similar to what I wrote. Dystopic, post-apocalyptic, wasteland, bleak, etc. What I wrote was accurate.[/quote] It looks like Australia grassland, and looks nothing like road warrior or thunder dome. The family takes a va...

I definitely had some issues, including the eye-roll ending. Loved the first 15 minutes unabashedly. Thought Sorkin's use of archival footage was... silly, at best. Continues Sorkin's aversion to moral ambiguity and subtlety, when I think those two things would make this story much more compelling. ...

[quote]Hey, we can squeeze some more money out of the franchise; let's cast a woman (shocked no minority) and shite all over franchise for a buck[/quote] Is that not a description of Fury Road? ...

[quote]The movie was meant to make you laugh imo[/quote] Us was. Those anecdotes are a combination of misunderstanding tone and "I fell asleep"-style bs nonsense that people on this thread love to lie about. Who are these old men that fall asleep instantly and don't understand humor? Oh, right. T...

[quote]There’s probably as much Gaulic and Celtic DNA in Italy now as there is in France and Germany despite the fact that neither are from there. [/quote] Gaul was a Roman name a region populated by Celtic tribes, and it was most of central Europe, including Germany and parts of Italy. Saying th...

[quote]I really don’t care if a character is gay or not[/quote] Feels like the rest of your words directly contradict these few. ...

[quote]from star wars to something no one has even heard of. congrats[/quote] Hmmm. This comment is revealing....

[quote]Sorry, commies just as bad, if not worse.[/quote][quote] I seem I'm talking over your head, [/quote] [quote]Sorry, commies just as bad, if not worse.[/quote] You are really, truly not. ...

[quote]I thought we were discussing an issue rationally on a message board[/quote] Do you have a link to such a message board? That sounds nice. Considering only one person on this thread has seen the movie, and that his opinion was basically dismissed out-of-hand, no one here is saying anyth...

[quote]The ole "we'll show you how bad sexual exploitation of children is by sexually exploiting children" routine, huh?[/quote] Follow that logic. War movies often convey their anti-war message by showing the viewer how awful war is. It's possible that this movie is not what you think, consideri...

[quote]The Arab girl is getting some commercial work.[/quote] She was also in Mr. Robot. I could see her being the seventh lead regular in shows for the next several years. ...

[quote]Theatres suck. Too many distractions and too expensive.[/quote] There is no combination of possible distractions in a theater that is more distracting than a phone in your hand on the couch. When someone whispers in a theater we get annoyed, but we accept all the crap at home just fine....

[quote]Yeah, China has opened up its theaters[/quote] And shut them down again, and opened them again. The state and city governments will not allow filming. There are plenty of production employees just living on production company dime in Nola right now, waiting to be allowed to work. I'...

[quote]But I was told by posters on here that there was nothing wrong with it and we should all give it a chance. [/quote] No you weren't. Don't be a shite. ...
