yeah fiddy

Tesla's and Volts and Faradays in the desert? lol - and how long do you think that would last? :1orglaugh:1orglaugh


Would have been a pretty fucking short movie

Ultimately, Mad Max was rewarded with all of these nominations because its being recognized as the reason people want to go to the theater. To see a cinematic spectacle with great locations filmed beautifully, and a lean, straightforward story without a constant stream of yapping. The same could be sadi for the Revenant.

I assume you meant to say it doesn't make it a "good" movie right?

Anyway, why do you think I think a movie is good when there is a lot of talking? What, if anything, does that have to do with this movie sucking?

My opinion is if you HAVE to see a movie in 3D to enjoy it, then by definition it is NOT a good movie.

your post would make sense if there were, you know, actually any sense to it.

MM:FR doesn't rely on special effects, the stunts and shit are real.

besides the fact that the list you linked has LOTR as the #1 movie of all time

Exactly, the fast-food era of big screen movies. The reason why so much shit is made today. Use your brain as little as possible, movies are for entertainment, not for getting anything out of it, not for a message or an intellectual experience.

Again with the word "yapping" ... I get the feeling you don't like any kind of movie with serious dialogue or character development. A lot of talking does not equal good, but also does not equal boring. Personally, I prefer to watch movies where it feels like what I'm watching is as close to real-life a entertainingly possible. But that's me.

:1orglaugh

common sense right.

jfaclon is the sort that is gushing over dicaprio's hugh glass character with his unintelligble dialogue and minimal acting in a chase movie with a similar plot to MM:FR while bashing MM:FR for being a chase movie not having dialogue or plot.

Nope, didn't even watch that one yet. Honestly I doubt I will like it. The absence of dialogue is not what I disliked about new Mad Max. By the way, while I'm not the hugest fan of the Mad Max films, I did really like the first two and have watched them 2 or 3 times each.

it's basically the same flick set in the winter in the mountains.

the first MM was somewhat mediocre. the character development and such was too much, it overshadowed the movie, a distraction from the plot.

:1orglaugh ... Unlike you, I'm broke outside GFY.

:2 cents:

yes, all "good" movies must have a message.

thanks movie snobs!

Damn man, you ever heard of straw man?

i'm sure straw man is the latest "intellectual" movie with a message.

you're the one that thinks a good movie must have a message and is not for entertainment purposes and the viewing audience needs to get something out of it other than entertainment.



"Exactly, the fast-food era of big screen movies. The reason why so much shit is made today. Use your brain as little as possible, movies are for entertainment, not for getting anything out of it, not for a message or an intellectual experience."

Look up straw man fallacy, you continue to do it.

I never said any of that. Not the way you put it anyway.

i quoted you exactly.

jfalcon, you have to admit, you're brushing off a movie that garnered 10 Oscar noms, most of which are for production, as a fast-food shit.

get real.

No, you didn't. Again, read straw man.

Wrong again douche:



While the makers of Fury Road claim to not have used much CG, they still used a lot of it. They use CG to remove wires and rigs, to add to or change the landscape, and of course color-corect the hell out of it. Even the night time seems were shot in full daylight (overexposed too) and then color-corrected to look like it was night time.

Stop being a douche.

Dumbfuckwad canaduhian, you're a dumbfuckwad canaduhian to not be able to even figure out what a simpleton like Markham was claiming.

And a boring movie too, LOL! I wasn't serious, I was trolling Dynamo.



Mmm, kinda maybe for some, but personally I love going to the movies. While I see lots of action flicks, they can be boring if the story is no fun or if the characters are dull.

Some "yappy" movies worth seeing on the big screen were movies like "Gone Girl" and "The Social Network". "Eyes Wide Shut" is another non-action flick that is missed entirely unless watched on the big screen.


I agree. Movie makers need to give up on 3D. Most of the time its dark and blurry and distracts from the movie itself. There's nothing wrong at all with 2D movies and if I had my choice between IMAX 3D and IMAX 2D I will always choose 2D but here in Montreal at least, almost every IMAX movie is in 3D now.

You're now claiming I didn't quote you exactly. No wonder you're not capable of grasping the movie going experience.

LOL!! When shown evidence that your belief in anything is wrong or even a little off, you fall into a tirade of stupid insults.

Face it douche - Mad Max is loaded with CG. You were lied to, and you gobbled the lie up and patted your tummy afterwards.

PS Hillary will win.

As if you never brush off facts don't fit your own pre-conceived false notions. Shut up douche.

Dumbfuckwad canaduhian, you're the one trolling me and calling me a douche, so you're a hypocrite dumbfuckwad canaduhian.

Got it. Now run along and go ask your mommy to put the transformers DVD on for you.

Holy shit! That whole canyon was CG?

Fury road was a fantastic movie! Good for George Miller. I've only seen The Martian out of the other films nominated so I don't know what chance it stands. The Martian was good but not Oscar material.

Yes but don't tell Dynamo. He will be severely butthurt.

shhh....

no one tell ********** you're being a smart aleck, his big troll would be discovered then for sure!


::::::::::::::::::::::;

The Citadel location was produced via a combination of principal photography in Namibia, shooting in Sydney and visual effects work from Iloura informed by actual rock cliffs photographed in Australia and re-worked using photogrammetry.

Visual effects supervisor - Andrew Jackson considered reference locations in Jordan, including the famous Wadi Rum mountains, but ultimately found suitable cliffs in the Blue Mountains west of Sydney.

“I took a helicopter and we flew backwards and forwards with a high res stills camera. It has real lighting but because it was shot in overcast conditions you can add more key light. We had the chopper standing by for 10 days waiting for the right conditions. We didn’t have one cloudy day for a week and a half, but the day we went was just perfect.”

- Andrew Jackson

This was probably my favorite movie of the year. What a shame.

it never reached the spectacular level, it was the same shit for 2 hours which made it extremely boring to me. You talk about 'yapping' movies, well, one yapping movie (the hateful eight) was a hundred times more entertaining than this.

Another gem of 2015 was the movie 'Dope', highly entertaining and fast paced movie (only thing that really didn't fit the whole movie was the 'if i was white' nagging line at the end. I didn't think of race or skin color the entire movie, it was just a fun ride, until this misplaced line).

Straight outta compton was also a personal favourite, but im biased because i listen to hiphop all my life starting with NWA, eazy-e and dr. dre.

Even terminator genisys blows mad max away for sheer entertainment value, although it was smashed by critics, for T1 and T2 fans it was pure entertainment, i enjoyed it.

I actually didn't know the canyon was CG. That's the kind of CG I like .... when it's used to embellish a shot and done so well I don't even know it's there.

The Citadel of course, was obviously CG because I doubt any natural place like that exists, but the canyon wasn't out of the realm of possibility.

The original Road Warrior is a classic.

Both are real. The scenes are enhanced digitally. Andrew Jackson's quote about it is in this thread already. To claim they are cg is misleading ,

It's common knowledge this movie was shot with minimal cg and certainly does not fall under the category of special effects films like lotr, that Markham tried to do and dingbat ********** is trying so desperately hard to troll the thread with

"The Citadel – the wilderness fortress of the film’s main antagonist Immortan Joe – was realised through a combination of physical sets built in Namibia, Cape Town and Sydney, plus visual effects work."

I'm actually pretty amazed at how well they did the cgi in this movie. Amazing job with that.

Probably should have put that much effort into making the movie not suck :2 cents:

I liked Terminator Genesys too. I thought it was really well done. The story was smart, the acting was good, the VFX were cool, and it was a super-complicated time-travel story which I always love.

Wrong again.

Now here is Wired Magazine talking about the CG



"An astounding 2000 shots are still VFX Shots".

There is nothing wrong with CG/VFX anyway when done right (they did a good job) so stop crying already.

You dimwitted canaduhian, finish the quote:



"An astounding 2000 shots are still VFX Shots". ..

most of those VFX shots involved small details like wire removal or painting out tire tracks from previous shots."

The movie is known for its real stunts, not for fake stunts.


You're a halfassed troll.

Speaking of fake stunts and halfassed attempts, which transformers flick is your favorite?

The answer is movies just suck these days. But TV is good, so just watch tv

By who?

Emilia Clarke proved she needs tits and dragons to be worthy of screen time. Which is ironic, because that's the exact opposite of what she was trying to do.

I will be reading the newest James Joyce biography ...

Plot of entire movie. Get in car and go there. It's not here. Go back.

plot of the revenant. hop on horse and go there. eat some shit. kill people. stand in the forest breathing.

only worthwhile post in this thread.

thanks for the bump, i'm sure you took a moment from studying ulysses to post this and we're all eternally grateful.

It's unbelievable that Mad Max movie which is total bullshit has 10 nominees while for example a really good new QT movie The Hateful Eight has only one nomination.

don't forget, hateful 8 not only failed to garner Oscar nominations, it's also a massive box office flop.

it's neither award worthy nor appealing.
