It will never get off the ground - not one of them looks like Putin.

The Birth of a Nation. I laughed.

I liked the scene where the entire reconstruction legislature was black and they were all eating chicken and dancing around and taking their shoes off.

The funny thing is, that would have been an improvement over the Detroit City Council under Kwame.

Most of the comments are seriously lambasting the trailer as a "shitty Hollywood ripoff", but mostly in the sense that it does not feel sufficiently Russian.

Actually what struck me is the positive view of science the trailer had. They're doing these experiments on purpose and they work! In any Hollywood movie, experiments like that would fail in a horrible way or transform the victim into a twisted supervillain. Given Russia's well known pessimism and love of tragedy, it seemed an odd juxtaposition.

Every new Mad Max trailer seems crazier and furiouser than the last. Can't wait.

I wonder if anyone has ever released a trailer that was nothing but a bunch of shit exploding. 

There are entire movies like that.
They usually get an A- from the leading South Carolinian film critics, A if the producer managed to raid a closet from the Edith Head estate.

Oddly, in the past week I watched a TCM theatrical presentation of Rear Window as well as The Incredibles at home.

Joan hates the visual arts and also the collaborative arts.

I watched Operation Petticoat.  An old fav of mine.

Don't be so touchy, I was talking about the other leading South Carolinian movie critic.

There can only be one.

Plus hopefully (?) I'll be in Pennsylvania soon, living in a hellhole the big city.

I thought you were thinking about Pittsburgh.

Furious 7 is actually a real good movie. Fun, with ridiculous stunts/action,  good dose of funny, and they did not get too cheesy with the end/goodbye Paul.

It's pretty big.
