WTF The Martian is a comedy? I guess I won't be seeing it any time soon.
I know, just goofing back!
Fury Road is also not very much at all like Road Warrior outside of the fact there's a guy named Max in it and he comes to help a group of people reluctantly.
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.
I don't get the Fury Road love.
It's an okay traveling movie but like all traveling movies, they are only watchable once.
So begrudgingly you admit Fury Road is very derivative of the Road Warrior.
BumRush said:Bobby, in what way is T2 a copy paste polish of previous action films?
why tho? The joke? I guess is dumb, like her reaction. You know, mocking a foreign journalist because he is using a cellphone to maybe, maybe translate the question and then kicking it at the floor making more fun of him isn't nice. Her premise? the used of cellphones in everyday context is WRONG because you live in the "now". So when the nude pics incident came, she felt insulted, mocked and "raped" (her words), because she was using a cell phone for her own businesses... the press went after her by the same things that she said to the journalist. But why using a cellphone in that scenario? Context? Why is the need of making all "digital"?, Why use a cellphone is in every context especially the intimate contexts? And know she is the advocate of not using them at public contexts because the "now"? That is something that in psychology is called: Consistency Bias, Embodied Cognition, Self-Serving Bias and The Fundamental Attribution Error.

whats going on here? why is this better than the gif? its just a photo.
It absolutely is T2 tier.
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
Take heed in the fact that fanboys will keep its "legacy" alive for years to come.
This Fury Road debate is like a cat chasing it's own tail. It's a good movie that won't win shit. Take heed in the fact that fanboys will keep its "legacy" alive for years to come.
Those are some golden globes alright.

The Martian was a comedy?
Yes, so it could win an award. It's all political
It's as much of a comedy as Apollo 13 was.
Watney is super chipper for someone who is totally fucked
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.
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.
