This movie can't get enough credit....

Not sure if any of you HT enthusiasts ever done this before but considering your on this site I'm sure you have. I had 15 minutes before I had to run out the door, nobody home, and was dying for a HT/Knock your socks off sonic ass-kicking...

With no one home I throw on the first action scene, turn it up to 11, sat back, and enjoyed the crap out of it. The soundtrack is such a great compliment to the action sequences. What a great action flick!

Really nice George Miller interview with detailed FURY ROAD discussion:

I think it's hilarious because he doesn't even seem particularly angry, just slightly inconvenienced in a way.

Looking to score Mad Max this upcoming week on Thursday 6am at Meijer when they will have it for $7.00. I waited this long to pick it up so hopefully it pays off. Loved this one when I saw it in the theater. My wife saw it with me and hated it with a passion. I didn't quite explain to her much about what kind of movie it would be. Oh well. I will put it in the player 1st chance I get when kids/wife are not around and crank up the sound bar!

Anyone ever noticed this dude never blinked?

Looks like Amazon has the 3D version for half off now.

Recently watched Mad Max: Fury Road for the first time - excellent film! Since I grew up with the original Mel Gibson MM films back in the day, I wasn't sure I would like this as much. However, I felt FR was an incredible flick that really captured the post-apocalyptic world of MM, even more than the previous films. The albinos (possibly a result of living underground because of radiation?!) hadn't really been see in previous films. And, the various deformities some characters had appeared to me to be a result of radiation poisoning...

That being said, it is tough to compare this movie to the previous three MM films - first of all, the last one (Beyond Thunderdome) came out 30 years ago, and of course the main actor is different. So, it's so far removed from the other films & so dissimilar in other ways (effects, editing, etc.) that as far as I'm concerned it's definitely a stand-alone movie...

Though Mad Max was supposedly the "main character" of the film, I felt that Charlize Theron really stole the show as the "Furiosa" character. Her kick-ass attitude but at the same time compassion towards some of the other characters (notably the defenseless women) is a difficult dichotomy to pull off, but was well-done here. Her mechanical, artificial arm was cool as well. And, she looks great with short hair - not all women can pull off that look effectively...

The National Board of Review named Mad Max: Fury Road the Best Film of 2015.

Apparently the B&W version might get a theatrical release, I guess that would explain them leaving it off the Blu-ray.

I sure would like an eventual BD release of it as well.

They'll probably do what they did with Gravity's Silent Space thing, we'll get it in a Neo Case along with a couple other docs after Mad Max gets nominated for Best Picture and wins a bunch of technical Oscars.

You think it will get a Best Picture nomination? Outside of technical awards the only thing I can see it getting is a best actress nomination for Theron.

It's been picking up quite a few Best Picture wins and nominations so far, so I don't think an Oscar nomination is implausible, especially with up to 10 Best Picture nominees. I don't think it'll win, though.

People said the same thing about The Matrix as it was groundbreaking in a similar way, but it only got technical nominations. I guess we will see.
