[The Third Man]

When I watched Fury Road I instantly regretted not seeing it in the theater.

Sure you still can't? Because I just googled it and apparently it's showing in three theaters near me. What the hell?

How could you not be vastly entertained by a long cut of 30 spiked-and-gunned cars driving very fast, with maniacal face-painted warriors dangling from 20 foot poles and shrieking about Valhalla?!

I suppose I have to forgive you, and only because I am forever jealous of you tossing that pitch at Busch.

But really. It's the best movie of 2015. And forever, really.

lol....like I said, I was never really a fan of Mad Max films in general, and this one wasn't any different

Science Fiction films typically just aren't my thing.

I know it's a bit bombastic for everyone to enjoy like I do. Then again, we are on opposite sides of the spectrum - I love me some sci-fi and 'splosions.

On that note I re-watched that absurdly unnecessarily huge explosion in Spectre 3 times. It was great.

I've never seen the other Mad Max films. I was around when my big brothers were watching them, but the only things I can remember are Tina Turner, the aesthetic, and California Love. And as much as I have no plan to stop complaining about how boring Ex Machina is any time soon (there are slow burn psychological thrillers, and there are DMV lines: EM is more like the latter, pre cell-phones. Cool concept--but that was a 20-minute movie, tops.), I'm not exactly an action movie guy.

You know those homeless guys who speak gibberish with surprising articulation that you walk by sometimes? Imagine if one of them drew you in and told you the coolest story you ever heard someone tell.

There's this scene where this body-builder wearing suspenders and holding a blowtorch screams from the top of a a car with a 10 foot lift, with more melodrama than I can explain: "I had a baby brother, and he was perfect in every way!" And it works. Honestly, I feel like that's the best endorsement I can give the movie.

Fury road and Ex Machina were both top ten for me.

Just saw Imitation Game recently and the acclaim there baffles me. Cumberbatch is good and it's decent. Nowhere near worthy of a best picture nomination. I felt like I knew every time they contrived a conflict for dramatic purposes. I haven't looked yet, but I'm guessing Charles Dance's character is almost complete fiction.

Unless I'm allowed to count The Lego Movie multiple times, I can't make it to 10 for 2015.

This is going to be good.
