Saw Mad Max: Fury Road the other day

[Zorro]

What a spectacle. George Miller has quite an imagination.

1. I'm going to see it today

is it a spectacle in a good way?

[Zorro]

2. I'd say a spectacle in a good but disturbing way

I believe it is destined to be a post-apocalyptic classic.

It's best to see it on the big screen. I'll be curious to hear your impressions.

6. Thought it was a great action movie

and a great post apocalyptic landscape - lots of souped up cars in all sorts of configurations. The story was driven by Furiosa, as I said below, but I didn't really see it hitting you over the head with this radical feminism the MRA seemed so in fear of in recent weeks.

7. Yeah I didn't get the claim it's some radical feminist propaganda

Must be some mighty insecure males out there.

4. What? And miss the Game of Thrones live thread?

You either like Mad Max movies, or you don't. This is Mad Max with every conceivable techno-trick in the book to gross you out. The first half pleases those who like speed and gore, and the second half pleases those who like feminist plots.

I happened to like it, but, wow. I thought it was pretty over the edge until I saw Outlander last night. Now I think anything goes these days.

5. I went to the afternoon showing

just got back from it now. I didn't really see a huge feminist leaning in the movie (heck, Mel Gibson gave it a thumbs up) - it's nice to see the women in the role of heroes, but it was still Max that suggested they turn around and take the Citadel instead of driving 160 days through miles of nothing, with Furiosa and the others following his lead. It wasn't just a Mad Max movie, though, I'd say it was more Max and Furiosa, with her driving the story from the beginning.

3. I don't know.............. the original Mad Max was almost too much.

I'm afraid to see this one!

9. Saw it this eve.

I liked it. That's what I kept thinking too. George Miller has quite an imagination. That was one crazy ride.

10. Saw it yesterday. Loved it.

Life would be far more interesting if we had a giant car following us with a guy playing a double electric guitar standing on it.

12. That's it. I'm seeing it tonight.

11. It got a great review in "The New Yorker."

Will look forward to seeing it on cable, here at home.
