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?

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

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

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? :blink:

It is far better for the truth to tear my flesh to pieces, then for my soul to wander through darkness in eternal damnation.

Jet: So what kind of woman is she? What's Julia like?
Faye: Ordinary. The kind of beautiful, dangerous ordinary that you just can't leave alone.
Jet: I see.
Faye: Like an angel from the underworld. Or a devil from Paradise.

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.

El Infierno (2010)

A man is deported back to Mexico after living for 20 years in the United States.  Upon returning he discovers that his home town has become a war zone between rival cartels.  He hooks up with his brother's gorgeous and expensive widow and gets dragged into the world of crime and violence.  While this should be a paint-by-numbers mafia movie; the wackiness that is Mexico turns it into a wonderful dark comedy.
In Italy, for thirty years under the Borgias, they had warfare, terror, murder and bloodshed, but they produced Michelangelo, Leonardo da Vinci and the Renaissance. In Switzerland, they had brotherly love, they had five hundred years of democracy and peace—and what did that produce? The cuckoo clock

Speaking of recycled material, what are Languish' expectations on the all-female Ghostbusters flick?



I'm coming round to it, I admit.  :blush:
