Everybody is saying the new Mad Max movie is awesome. I don't know why but I have zero desire to see it. I even found the trailer pretty great and even with that, I couldn't get myself to go see it. Maybe it's cause the whole "2 hours of vehicules crashing" seems to simplistic to me? I don't know.

Yet I want to go see Jurassic World even though everybody say it sucks and the trailer sucks. I'm a lost cause probably.

Jurassic World is awesome, I saw it Thursday. My gf who's a huge Jurassic Park fan loved it too. 7.7/10 on IMDB, forget the critics.

That's good. But my dilema is, why don't I want to see Mad Max? What is wrong with me!

Here's the only argument you need:

Here's the only argument you need:

Umm Liberace on a car? Yea still not sold.

 

[RAWisJericho]

Just download it and watch it on your TV then

 

[DAChampion]

Mad Max is an audiovisual experience: do not download.

Go see it on a Tuesday night.

A lot of people are saying that Mad Max is a spiritual revelation, do not worry abput that. For me personally it was merely good.

Well I'll have to cause I'm not gonna go see it in theater.

 

[ClasslessGuy]

GOT final day!

Best action movie of all time. Will be remembered as one of the great movies for its genre forever. Please don't go, if you don't at least like the original movie then you should just stick with the avengers, jurassic park and buy yourself a couple justin bieber cds on the way home.

Yeah I don't understand where the fun is in all that.

 

[Habsawce]

GoT finale tonight. I'm going to predict that Arya kills Meryn Trant and Stannis kills Davos. Becuase you can't have one character you dislike die without one you like dying. It's the GoT way.

 

[ClasslessGuy]

Dam that was great

 

[OneSharpMarble]

Well they are certainly trying to one up the previous season. Lots of people dying. Hopefully less of daenarys in the next season, damn she is a bore.

 

[ClasslessGuy]

But but.. Kit Harrington is signed for the next 2 seasons...

Why?

 

[Brainiac]

My hobby:

Watching a movie from the 90s and trying to assess how the plot would hold nowadays.

A good one I have so far is Die Hard with a Vengeance.

Give McLane an iphone and BAM! problem solved.

-He can calculate 7x7x7x7 in no time
-He can look up all the stupid riddles online
-He can look up who the hell was the 21st president, call the school and tell them to GTFO of there
-The cops can communicate without their radios

Simon would have to up his game big time.

I don't remember which film class it was but a professor recommended that we write plots that are strong enough to work even WITH the presence of phones in the story-universe.

In Die Hard I guess there would be a time-limit or something that he has to hold with both hands (so he can't use the phone) or something like, I dunno, the bad guy demands his phone?

I think the best plots are the ones that work entirely perfectly within the film's interior logic - the film A Separation comes to mind. Or Coppola's underrated The Conversation.
