Holy.Walking.Dead.Shit.

Ok. I don't dislike Fury Road.  I think holding it up as the biggest big screen movie ever is hyperbolic, particularly when a movie that used its theatrical presentation better came out less than two years ago.

I didn't say it's the "biggest big screen movie ever". You're hyperbolying my hyperbole.

Once you get past the zero g pizzazz, though, Mad Max is better shot than Gravity. Fury Road has the best montage and shot selection I have seen in an action film in quite a while. It's amazing how it never loses control of all those ridiculously protracted and escalating action scenes - they are so clean and well told.

Surely it's hyperbolicating, no?

[celedhring]

I just made that word up, didn't even think there was a proper way to say that.

[Admiral Yi]

I'm fucking with you bro.  Lighten up.

[celedhring]

I wasn't annoyed.

Hey, you owe me an assistant writer credit on something you do, jah?

A movie credit and a seeing a tornado, I can die happy.

The tornado and the dying part might end up being connected.

The project you gave me assistance for is currently trapped in a rather deep circle of development hell

I'll try to get back the rights at the end of the year and see if I can take it elsewhere.

Shockingly good sets and effects for MTV, and for the Shannara series... what the heck?

Never read the books. Is this something worth hyping oneself for?

It looks neat, but I kind of shut my mind off at "three teenagers embarking on an epic quest."

Yeah, that was a big red light for me too. But it's MTV so they have to cater to that.

The books had some neat ideas, but it's one of those series you read when you're 12-14 and then forget about.
