Snowman_McK posted:That, to me, was the thing that I always remembered when SMG brought up the "people don't know why they like things" idea. The Star Wars prequels were criticised for using CGI, LOTR was a real film for using miniatures. Star Wars used heaps of miniatures. I kind of know the divide that those fans are trying to identify, but gently caress they did a terrible job of quantifying it. It's basically like complaining about all the horrible CGI in this image, from the last page

I'd buy Fury Road again even if it were just a different slip cover or a steelbook. The people who made this movie need to have as much of my money as possible.

Just mail George Miller your life savings. AV Club had a nice article today on the car chase from Bullit, I ended up watching a bit of it on YouTube for old times' sake. Would love to see Miller's take on a vehicle chase through a crowded area/streets vs. a huge desert. The same kinetic energy in a more constrained and busy environment.

Why is it earlier in the movie one of the warboys says "Witness me" and jumps on the pointy car with two boom sticks and went out historic and all the other warboys celebrate his awesome exit by shouting "Mediocre!" Then later Nux trips and disappoints Immortan Joe who says, "Bah, mediocre." So is "mediocre" praise, or a diss?

It is a diss. The only War Boy who actually shouts it after Morsov's death is Slit, who is being either sarcastic or a dick.

Yeah Slit is just a total dick the entire movie. When Morsov does his awesome double bang-stick death jump, most of the War Boys yell "Witness!" Slit tries to steal Morsov's thunder by throwing his own bomb spear right before Morsov connects, and then downplays Morsov's awesomeness by calling him mediocre.

Slit is a dickhead and usually tries to make himself look cool by making other people look shittier. In this case, by killstealing from Morsov, who is a cool guy. The other Warboys parrot him because they're Warboys and that's what they do best (also because it was legit kind of cool, in a dickhead kind of way). Think smaller goons going 'lol' while a bigger goon fucks up a pubbie (and a medium sized goon in the process).

The society of the Citadel is objectively "bad" by our standards. Slavery, child soldiers, and the like are "bad" things. However within their society, these things are good and righteous. Hanging a dude upside down and draining his blood isn't some psycho serial killer poo poo to the War Boys, it's Tuesday. Slit is necessary to show the viewer that there are "good" and "bad" people in their society. Slit and Nux are basically postapocalyptic Goofus and Gallant. Goofus tries to advance himself by tearing down the achievements of others. Gallant witnesses when his friends die historic.

That interview reminds me of how I kind of hate how the press release images that were released for Fury Road were all of the pre-production olive-tint crap, that looks no where near as good as the finished product. Makes me kinda sad.

This is way late, but about 500 posts ago I talked about how I bought Fury Road on Blu-Ray the last time I went home to visit primarily to show it to my film geek father and how he was blown away by it. This happened at about 8 AM on a Saturday. In the middle of the climactic chase back to the citadel, my five year old son (whose usual interests are Lightning McQueen and any/all dinosaurs) woke up, wandered into the living room, cuddled up with me on the couch and started drowsily watching the movie. Remembering that there is very little foul language and only a couple very quick shots of any graphic violence, I decide to proceed with the awesome car movie. He's half asleep anyway, what's the harm? Two days later I'm driving around with my kids in the back seat and my wife riding shotgun. I pull over so she can jump out to use the ATM, and notice an armored car parked in front of us. Knowing my son likes cars, I begin telling him how it's a car that's built to be tough and bulletproof so robbers can't get the money inside. His very first question. "Like in Mad Max?" Thank you, son, for not ratting me out in front of your mother. And for being loving awesome

Noticed today that during the Buzzard attack scene, when the Buzzard's big-rig comes out of the dust and smoke, it makes a very animalistic growling sound. It really makes me appreciate how the vehicles feel like their own characters. As a side note, I've found that yelling "Witness me!" while trying to push a car out of the snow seems to make the car move easier.

Such a cool little edit.

Every time I rewatch Fury Road, I pick up a new detail that I had missed before during the non-stop 'peel your eyelids back and inject pure awesomeness into your retina' phase. For example, after Max and Furiosa's fight next to the War Rig, when they're reluctantly teamed up, the background music (aptly called 'The Rig' on the soundtrack) actually has a beat undertone similar to the ignition cycle of a big-block V8. I can gush for days about the movie's visuals and spectacle, but the soundtrack really stands out as well; There's been more than one occasion where I've listened to the soundtrack while driving, and can see, with exceptional clarity, the exact scene in the movie that the track is at. I honestly can't think of any other movie that's done that.

"Brothers in Arms" is the best for that because it's a relatively short scene compared to the first and final chases, so one song of average length can encompass the whole thing. You can tell exactly when Big Foot is climbing the rocks, or when the motorcycles line up in formation for a charge.

So a diss against the attackers that the suicide bomber took out. Did I hear wrong?
