Universal Love TRTT Part 9: Eat my ass you absolute man child

[edgie]

In truth I just wanted to start a fight about a film that wasn't Star Wars in here.. you're welcome everyone

lol you don't have to worry about starting a fight about Star Wars anymore. I've got no fights left in me for that. The trailer launched and the only thing anyone here had to say about it was Doc Feel posting a 4chan meme.

Don't break the momentum guys I'd like the Mad Max shitfight to continue.

Me too.

Mel Gibson wasn’t even the best max

Didn't they not film it in BH because it was too lush at the time so they moved production to a place more barren?

It was a well made film but lets be honest, not much of a story line. It was basically a long extended car chase with some weird characters interwoven.

 

[Magus]

Still better than pod racing though.

No, I think it's overrated for reasons previously mentioned. It isn't Australian for reasons to do with bailing and breaking contracts with many Broken Hill people and things and the fact that Africa was already sussed out and booked as the good PR statement of returning to film in the same location as Road Warrior was announced. Believe it or not that didn't effect how I view the movie as a movie, only the facts about it as a production. If you don't believe that I would be flabbergasted as there's a lot of other things I don't like that most others do that have nothing to do with my locality!

I focused on Ebert because your argument as to why I'm wrong (as if opinions can be quantified) began to fall apart very quickly.

Are you denying that you were referring to Roger Ebert himself and not the domain continued in his name?

I didn't spare a thought about who it was, it was a bullet point in a long list of awards jacked off the wikipedia site, but I find it highly humorous you continue to focus on this point at the expense of the actual argument. While you're at it, the Oscars are not given by "The American Academy", but by the "Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences", so there's another totally irrelevant win for you to focus on while you avoid giving any meaningful insight into your odd opinion.

On reflection I'm not even sure if we're arguing. My point that Mad Max: Fury Road is universally rated by critics and fans alike, and that your view of it being "the most overrated film of the decade" can actually exist side by side, on the assumption that your taste in movies is wildly divergent from that of your fellow man.

You take that back.

I don't know how their electoral system works, but interesting to see the number of seats won compared to the % of the popular vote they won. I'm guessing the Conservatives had a few very safe seats in the regional areas

That's because it didn't have a script. The script was thousands of story boards.

As for 'not much of a story line' - a celebrated warrior betraying a megalomaniacal psychopathic warlord to save his harem of sex slaves because she has dreams of a better life for them where they aren't viewed as property, only to find that life was just a delusion...and then realising that the better life could only be had if she confronted the warlord and emancipated everyone - not just a select few - instead of running away sounds like a perfectly good story to me.

It's a movie driven by the arc and progression of the characters, not by plot. That's why it's so good.

I can't wait for the sequels.

That was the excuse given but everything I've heard is that they always had one eye on moving overseas once all the pre-production was completed in BHill.

Prior to the CG enhancement of the backgrounds it was no 'greener' here than in Nambia. Even compared to Mad Max 2 it is far more barren than it was then.

They've could've filmed here if they wanted. It came down to $$$.

My taste in movies isn't hugely divergent at all from my fellow man, most of my favorites are massive movies and franchises loved by millions, unlike my taste in music.

Just maybe on Fury Road being the action epic of the 21st century.

I really enjoyed Fury Road in IMAX. Came out of the theatre buzzing.

Even own it on Blu-Ray but for some reason haven't watched it since at the cinema. Part of me think's the theatre experience was the large reason for it being that great..

Find myself nodding at every Janus movie opinion. Going in to get myself sectioned tomorrow.

I had this dream last night where I saw this new compound that would give the world zero point energy. It was hailed as the greatest discovery in the history of mankind because it enabled faster than light travel, to the point where there was an image of this compound hanging above the blackboard/whiteboard in every physics classroom in the world. The teacher was going through the construction of this compound and how it was made up of a lattice where electrons would jump from one element to another, as if they were gears in a clock, and how it was so elegantly simple that it proved without a shadow of a doubt the existence of god, because of the way these elements fit together like a jigsaw puzzle.

fu** if I can remember what it was though.

Does this person not realise that a lot of graves have two or more people buried in them? Like, when you see a grave that has the names of a husband and wife, it's just two people buried on top of one another.

When I'm at the end of my life, I'm travelling to Tibet to have a sky burial. No grave, no memorial, nothing. Why? Because death is just a transition from the corporeal into the ethereal - it's like the caterpillar shedding its skin to become the butterfly. No one should give a shit about the cocoon.

 

[NoddyHolder]

To save the environment I'm going to opt out of dying.
No burial of any kind required
