Yes, it's Space MacGyver.

I don't get the Fury Road love.
It's an okay traveling movie but like all traveling movies, they are only watchable once.

LOL, yea it took me awhile to pick up on that. Rough morning for me so far.

Regarding Oscar BP chances, I still think MMFR has a pretty good shot. AFAIK the field kind of looks like this:
Mad Max: Fury Road
The Revenant
The Martian
Spotlight
Carol
Brooklyn
Room
-
Creed
Bridge of Spies
The Big Short
Sicario
Anomalisa
Ex Machina
Inside Out
Tangerine
Looking at those top 7, Carol and Brooklyn are both 1950s period dramas that might split votes for overlapping sensibilities. Room has good buzz but will probably get its recognition primarily through Larson winning an award (like Creed via Stallone). The top four seem to be MMFR, Revenant, Martian, and Spotlight.
Comparing MMFR and The Revenant, it's basically a high-octane, well-oiled symphony of destruction against a brutal yet beautiful, visceral revenge tale. Both movies about survival, triumph of human spirit, etc. If Oscar voters are going for that overall type of experience, I can see either movie winning. Guessing that Spotlight will slip in there and grab the statue.
The director race might be just as compelling. Iñárritu, Miller, and Sir Ridley. I'd like to see Miller recognized for the totality of MMFR's brilliance, but Ridley's never won so I'm guessing he'll get it.
Bobby, in what way is T2 a copy paste polish of previous action films? I don't want to keep pushing this because clearly we disagree on T2's impact on the genre, but it's very much unlike the films that came before it. Hell, it's a completely different film (and possibly genre) than the terminator.
T2 introduced the villain of a previous movie as an ally, explored new time travel concepts, broke visual ground and pretty much redefined the chase sequence. These things pushed the genre forward.

So begrudgingly you admit Fury Road is very derivative of the Road Warrior. The movies are not at all that similar besides they both feature extended chase sequences featuring heavily armed tanker trucks and dune buggies.
Who you crappin?
Man, if Tangerine snuck in there, Variety's Oscar ballot explanations are going to be something else this year.
I disagree with that. It's surprisingly good for rewatching as it has incredibly subtle yet supporting details packed all throughout that perhaps one doesn't pick up on during the first viewing. Every time I rewatch it I notice something new and clever tucked away in the film that just makes me love it even more.

No, in fact I'm suggesting it's pretty different. You just quoted me saying so.
BumRush said:
What? I didn't say that either.
What the hell is going on in here this morning.
Here's what I've said:
T2 is a great action movie
T2 didn't redefine the genre, but it did take the best of the genre at the time and elevated it.
T2 is lucky to be in the same tier as Fury Road (which, by the way, is tacit admission that it is.)
I own and enjoy both movies.
Fury Road is a better made movie overall.
Fury Road is not a remake of The Road Warrior.
These are the statements I've made.
You said "finely polished well tuned advancement of the status of the genre at the time" which just made it sound like you don't think it did anything new at all. That's all.
Anyway, no need to continue arguing this point. I think MMFR is a great film, you think T2 is a great film. Anything further is just our personal beliefs.

rope on discount, apparently.
And even better than that:
This is the bizarre thing - Its clear what happened here and you've got half the news agencies in the world reporting 'Gaga smacked Leos head out of the way with her boobs' or 'Gaga shoved Leo outta the way'.
She didn't do squat. Typical media horseshit manufacturing controversy

Fury Road has very little in common with Road Warrior, from a visual standpoint, from a character standpoint, from an almost everything stand point. They both have a Mad Max and Vehicle chases/combat, but the execution and context are two very different beasts.
I mean, that's a bunch of crazy but as an adult rewatching these films, I'm going with T1.

It doesn't loop. You're just catching it after it already played.

T2 is the GOAT action movie, Mad Max isn't the best movie in its own franchise
I agree. If they were different IPs, no one would say they are that similar.

This link leads to pictures of Katy Perry. Where are the highlights?
Who dis? New girl on Jersey Shore? Might as well be with that cheap looking pink dress and that Snooki-esque hair bump.

That's not how "take heed" works. Comfort/solace is what you mean to use there.
Fury Road isn't gonna need "fanboys" to keep its status as a great film alive, either.

It's already won plenty, it just likely wont win any of the industry navel gazing awards.

It's a hell of a lot funnier than Apollo 13.
I don't know that I'd classify it as a comedy, but so far as "Astronaut stranded in space with a super-tiny chance of making it back home alive" movies go, it's relatively lighthearted.

Watney is super chipper for someone who is totally fucked
something something science the shit out of this something something.
*everyone over 50-years-old starts laughing hysterically*
I legit laughed at the line in the theatre, but some of the older people really got a kick out of it.

I thought APollo 13 had some funny lines.
Bill Paxton's "I'm so hungry I could eat the ass out of a dead rhinoceros" alone deserved an Oscar.

I laughed more at the Lord of the Rings reference with Sean Bean during that meeting scene.
And if you weren't a Tolkien fan, you'd have no idea WTF they were talking about.
On the contrary - I thought that element was realistic.
He was an astronaught. He had years of training, probably dealing with all eventualities in the unpredictability and his risk. At the end of the movie
when he starting teachings his mantra was 'expect the worst and problem solve the shit out of it'
the supply shuttle exploding, to which he wasn't chipper and spoke about telling his parents of his impending death
That he was comparatively chipper was a good faith in the audience that we could fill in the blanks that he was an authentic astronaught. In comparison to Ridley's shit tier handling of Promethesus' astronaught abilities and instant mental lapses, it was beautiful

Is there any video of all segments with Ricky? Or any way of watching the whole show now?
Disagree with it being the only good one, imo thunder dome is the only really 'bad' Mad Max film, the others fully soaking up their own cheesyness and reveling in it. I would agree with fury road being the best mad max, though. I think it's one of the greatest theater movies ever released. There's not much that compares to the experience of sitting in a movie theater and watching fury road on the big screen
Why?
