Is there a good picture of the brand on Furiosa's neck anywhere? Or the iron they were going to use on Max? Because I'm really considering being an idiot and getting it as a tattoo.

Except for the one part right before the sandstorm where one of the warboys seemed to be yelling "human being" over and over again, but that can't be right. haha I thought that too!

The dude next to me reacted to every single trailer (Terminator, Jurassic World, Ant-Man) with "schlecht...so schlecht" (bad... so bad in German). I couldn't really disagree, though I think JW has some schlocky potential.

I've posted here many times calling out posters for swindling people to see terrible films like the recent Spider Man movies. That being said, Mad Max Fury Road is a masterpiece. If you didn't like it you're an idiot.

warhammer651 posted:My main complaints are that 1) the audio balance seemed skewed, so half the time I couldn't understand what the hell anyone was actually saying during the action sequences I don't wanna make excuses or anything but I had the exact same complaint coming out of my first viewing and when I went to see it at a different venue the audio was flawless. First time around I couldn't even hear the speech at the beginning due to some weird reverb effect, let alone action dialogue. So this may be an issue with the place you saw it at, and not so much the film itself? At least it was for me.

I think Furiosa has a lot of recognition in all three towns so I kind I'd surmise that she can fill the power vacuum in all of them. It seems the old leaders were related so perhaps the remaining pregnant one might even have a lineage type thing that might get her installed as leader in another town. Being honest, Furiosa could support her own movie under the Mad Max branding if they were so inclined.

Hahaha https://www.facebook.com/MadMaxMovie/videos/674195282685996/ "I alpha'd them all." Angrymog posted:I gather that he's yelling "Fang it!" which is Australian for, "I say old chap, would you mind terribly if we could go a little bit faster?" Yeah, he was. Somehow the first time I saw the movie--same theater, same settings, same everything--I heard it as "Fang it!" unambiguously, but the second time it struck me as him just randomly screaming "human being!" for no discernible reason which got me laughing. parara posted:I don't wanna make excuses or anything but I had the exact same complaint coming out of my first viewing and when I went to see it at a different venue the audio was flawless.

So this may be an issue with the place you saw it at, and not so much the film itself? At least it was for me. The opening monologue had alot of surround sound fill for... I dunno, reasons. If a theater had their surrounds up too high or if you were just sitting close enough to one where it drowned out the center channel that's what happens. There's a very good reason that most dialogue is kept to the center channel. Funny enough this is one of the reasons that the dialogue in Interstellar was impossible to hear during loud scenes. Nolan apparently doesn't understand sound design and had everything play on every speaker because MORE LOUDERER.

From what I could gather from interviews, Furiosa spin off has no script. There is a novella for one Max screenplay and a full script for another.

I having looked around, I still can't figure out how this movie took so long to hit the cinemas. I know one of the actors in 'Prometheus', and he told me Charlize Theron came on set to that film having already shot most of her scenes for Fury Road. There's some waffly nonsense about the studio doubling the budget halfway through, and something else about how they needed to film in another country for some reason, anyone have anything more concrete?

There's a very good reason that most dialogue is kept to the center channel. It was actually everything after the title screen up to the first chase, most notably Immortan Joe's speech. I got all the information I needed from the rest of the movie but I had no idea until last night that they were called War Boys, or why exactly Max was strapped to the car (beyond obvious visual reasons), or what the original purpose of Furiosa's supply run was (if it was a supply run at all), etc. It was interesting to see it the second time with perfect audio and realizing how much better the movie got hearing all those things, despite the fact I already loved it enough to go see it again.

The Stroker Ace posted:This might be obvious but Max walking off into the night to kill the Bullet Farmer really reminded me of Kyuzo in Seven Samurai going off to get the musket, thought it was a nice nod to another semi-silent, reluctant rear end kicker. Me too, the whole part with the muskets in Seven Samurai is my favorite asides from the battle at the end.

Angrymog posted:The preview shots were before the colour-correction was put in? I don't think so. The desaturation is something that has to be done in post-production; B-roll footage shows that the deserts of Namibia actually have a very khaki color. The film was color corrected to give it that orange tone and make it looks more like the Australia filming locations, but those preview pictures could only have been intentionally done like that.

It seems so far that Mad Max isn't underperforming. Not getting the number one spot may hurt sequel prospects but it's not quite the situation you had with Pacific Rim.

Ratios and Tendency posted:I don't know how much this is contributing to the slow box office but before I actually looked into it, I just assumed this was another stupid Total Recall/Robocop remake deal. I think that 16 million for Friday right on the heels of a Marvel Studios juggernaut up against huge counterprogramming (the Pitch Perfect sequel) is pretty good. HSX is reasonably accurate, and it has it pegged at 122 million. Foreign boxoffice numbers aren't in yet, but I think it will do good business abroad. Studio accounting is tricky, but I would estimate around 400 million lifetime. Edit: to say nothing of its cult following and word of mouth, which is good for secondary market sales like DVD and VoD.

They started filming in Australia in 2011 or 2012, but had to move to Namibia after unseasonal rains turned the Australian outback too lush and green for their wasteland. Filming was 120 days, but I believe that's actual work days; assuming 5-day work weeks, that's 24 weeks or 5.5 months of filming. They also did reshoots in November 2013 and I think were even reshooting some things this year.

I'm kind of curious why they didn't let Max pull at at least some cool poo poo with the Interceptor while he still had it like in the beginning of The Road Warrior. I thought it was the best looking car in the movie, especially before the warboys modded it, probably due to my unhealthy level of love for RW. Later in the movie when Interceptor 2.0 rolls up alongside the war rig with Nux's old buddy driving it, I thought for a moment Max would reclaim it and wreck some poo poo. It's sort of weird that in all 4 movies, really all that's done with the most iconic vehicle is Max running down some bikers at the end of MM and a relatively short, tame chase at the beginning of RW. Also, what are people's thoughts on Max going off and doing a badass thing off-screen? One poster said it had vibes of the musket grabbing scene from 7 Samurai, which is cool, but there's got to more to it than that. It felt a little weird and out of place to me, and the lines about him "retaliating first" and it not being his blood on him when he got back stood out as the only really corny and cliched ones in the movie. Maybe Miller wanted to give him a moment where he displayed some initiative and was no longer just reacting to what happened to him like an animal?

The editing and continuity in this movie is loving unbelievable. Just think of how easy it is to make a visually incoherent chase scene that has a fraction of the number of vehicles/characters as this movie does. The fact that the action in this is both as exciting as it is AND relatively easy to follow is a technical miracle, given how complex every minute of every major sequence is. edit: Mac Con posted:Also, what are people's thoughts on Max going off and doing a badass thing off-screen?

I wish they had done more to cement this as 'A story about Mad Max the Traveller as told by Furiosa'. I think having her do the opening narration would've been a good way to do that, similar to how there was a third party (aka The Feral Kid) talking about Max and the apocalypse in Road Warrior's opening.

See: Taken 3 (aka the only film I've ever come close to walking out of) On that note, there was a guy sitting behind me in Fury Road discussing Taken with his buddy before the movie started. He was saying how "Taken 3 totally made up for Taken 2". Apparently not everyone seeing Mad Max has taste in films.
