Half in the Bag - Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga

Mad Max: Fury Road is one of the most exhilarating and simply one of the greatest action films of all time. So going into Furiosa I was really excited for it. While that excitement of the first film wasn't met, the style was there in spades. The two films look very similar and that style is beautiful to look at and takes this film where it wouldn't have gone otherwise. While the film looks beautiful because the cinematography, it is quite boring because of the pacing of the screenplay. Scenes in this film seem to not know when to end. Dementus (Chris Hemsworth giving one of his best performances) will stop his dialogue and the scene should cut, instead it drags on for another pointless 1-2 minutes to show us nothing. The film could've easily been edited down to at least 2 hours. While I thought Chris Hemsworth was fantastic, I didn't feel the same of Anya-Taylor Joy. She is a fantastic actor and she's just ok in this. Hemsworth clearly steals the film. I never thought that this would live up to the greatness of Fury Road but my hope was that it would at least give a similar exciting experience. This is nothing like Fury Road other than the cinematography. So if you go into this film thinking that you'll be slightly disappointed. While I liked this film I couldn't help but be disappointed by the final result. Enjoy it for the style and a crazy Chris Hemsworth.

2024-05-29 13:47:31 +0000 UTCOh they are SO going to bring back Mel Gibson as a future character, villain or otherwise. Maybe Mad Max's grandfather or something?

2024-05-28 14:26:29 +0000 UTCYeah, pretty much. The thing I've noticed about all modern Lore development is that it's INSTANTLY cashed in. It's like if in one episode of a show they develop a piece of lore, they bring it back the *very next* episode. Like is there some doubt that villain was actually killed? You will NOT be left wondering. Next episode or next film he *immediately* reappears. There is no concept whatsoever of letting a piece of Lore 'cook' and develop a little gravitas before reintroducing it. Zero Anticipation. Adderall Lore Development. (EDIT: Maybe it's the anti-"Lost" impulse?)

2024-05-28 14:23:05 +0000 UTCThe way you describe lore, it's as though modern filmmakers think we've formed cargo cults around the original movies. "37 years ago we left them a severed finger. Ever since, they've been waiting and praying for us to return with whoever it was cut off of!" At least it rewards those of us who bought the original Beetlejuice playset and have ashamedly hung on to that little plastic finger we didn't know what to do with.

2024-05-28 03:54:06 +0000 UTC"The idiom 'tip of the iceberg' basically means the small part of a much larger situation or problem that remains hidden. When only a part of something that can be easily observed, but not the rest of it, we say that the part is just the tip of the iceberg." https://blogs.missouristate.edu/international/2020/05/27/idiom-tip-of-the-iceberg/

2024-05-28 00:43:14 +0000 UTCActual conversation with a friend outside the theater: "Wait, didn't know that was a prequel!" The credit montage was needed sadly.

2024-05-27 23:32:54 +0000 UTCNumbers are in, apparently Furiosa is on track to lose to Garfield in theaters. Which, like, I'm fine with. Prequel/sequel/reboot morons needs to be taught a lesson, as often and as expensively as it takes.

2024-05-27 22:46:18 +0000 UTCRich should apologize to Chris Hemsworth.

2024-05-27 19:09:13 +0000 UTCSo...it's basically a modified tier list. These kids today. LEARN. METAPHORS. I dunno. My first thought was "from apex predator to prey," but then I realized those are literally the first and last (for now) titles in a huge movie franchise. EDIT: OK, my metaphor doesn't quite make sense either. Whatever. At least you can only see part of an iceberg. I wasn't giving them enough credit and retract my previous tone toward the youth.

2024-05-27 18:46:55 +0000 UTCEssentially it’s a visual representation for items in a category from most known, the top, to the obscure, the bottom. Sometimes they go past the bottom of the iceberg, which doesn’t make sense. They’re nice to fall asleep to if you can handle a teenager doing the whole video in 1 take.

2024-05-27 06:22:41 +0000 UTCWait, did Rich manage to not say it wrong once? I should buy a lottery ticket tomorrow. This are lookin' up for the ol' ghost of the greatest drummer! EDIT: Wait, just heard it. I hadn't watched the last five minutes. Damn it.

Noah
2024-05-27 02:24:43 +0000 UTCI've actively refused to watch or read anything that says "the iceberg" of [x]. Can anyone explain where this turn of phrase came from and how it became ubiquitous seemingly overnight? I'm grumpy because I'm not drunk yet and I'm not looking it up.
Neil Peart, Lord of Drums
2024-05-27 01:02:49 +0000 UTCWow, they actually saw a worthwhile movie on opening weekend! There is hope that they may start seeing the highly praised movies in a timely fashion! (Not a lot of hope, but some.)

2024-05-27 00:14:57 +0000 UTCI was happy to see in the last outtakes video that the Mike and Jay get tortured just as much as Rich when it comes to getting their lines exactly right in skits.
Neil Peart, Lord of Drums
2024-05-27 00:14:40 +0000 UTCI think they once referred to modern-day Gibson as Sad Max once.

Rick Moen
2024-05-26 21:43:05 +0000 UTCWell, that was furious! Good review, chaps! Can't wait to see "Furiosa" on the biggest screen I can find! The way it was meant to be seen!
Christopher Balmer
2024-05-26 20:56:55 +0000 UTCSo Mad Max vs. Bad Backs? What?
Marvin Falz
2024-05-26 20:46:05 +0000 UTCI'm happy for Rich. If I remember that correctly, he's a big fan of the original Mad Max (series?) and he and Jay did a re:View on Mad Max. Looked it up: it was Mad Max 2: The Road Warrior. Oh, and Jay loves the world of Mad Max.

2024-05-26 18:27:29 +0000 UTCGreat video! I double checked, Rich said 'Chris Helmsworth' on closed captions. Thank you, huzzah!

2024-05-26 17:10:47 +0000 UTCYou guys are being too picky. Why wouldn't you want the sand worm's backstory in Beetlejuice?
Joe Triscari
2024-05-26 17:06:42 +0000 UTCYou said the kid died? That's a bummer, for a minute i thought this movie was gonna be a secret master blaster prequel. Like furiosa just traumatic brain injuries Hemsworth a ton in the final fight, leaves him for dead, then the kid turns him into blaster and rides Hemsworth off into the sunset

2024-05-26 16:47:38 +0000 UTCI don’t mean to speculate, but I think they may have taken the early studio access for once and I don’t blame you all if you did the movie looks freaking awesome! Anya Taylor Joy is the best!
