Pretty sure none of the Mad Max films were very successful in the theaters. But whatever ... TY for the Nerdrotic recommendation! His Box-O-Tissues reviews are always welcome to recommend decent TV/Movies. I hadn't planned on seeing Furiosa, but now it is a must-see! Keep 'em rolling in!

I was gonna go see it tomorrow. Loved the Mad Max films Thanks for saving me money. jeffersoncody It is a good movie. The action is cars, motorcycles, etc. So the argument must be a woman can't drive a car as well as a guy? Isnt that stupid as fuck? Not in Colorado it isn't. Especially if said woman drives a RAM truck. Usually a white RAM truck. They seem to think all that bulk means they are the only person on the road and everyone else is Lux a NPC.

I think The Road Warrior was a pretty decent hit, but I might be wrong. It got a lot harder for R rated movies to be big hits when they started enforcing the age limits, which they really didn't do back in the 80s.

The US has it easier, with parental guidance for those under 17 for R rated films. In NZ they enforce many different age restrictions for certain films...R13,R15,R16,R18 and no-one under the age restriction is permitted at all.

One parent takes the kids to the movie, giving the other a break. Or maybe one parent takes a group of kids, giving all the other parents a break. Back in the day of Blockbuster, there was rent the kid flick to give the parent a couple hours peace. yep, it almost has nothing to do with the actual quality or appeal of the movie........it's just something to keep the kids occupied for a little while. Absolutely. Good marketing idea. Especially with multiple TVs/players in the house. Our poor are so poor these days. You can probably recall a time when just having a TV was a luxury.......or maybe it was just the Color TV component?
Yes I remember having a black & white only TV when I was small. TV shows Bragging they were in color

If the image in the thumbnail is anything to go by then that's pathetic. "Girl boss" is a BS category like Mary Sue. It exists to be sexist. Men are never called male bosses or man-bosses; just bosses,. Under no circumstances will anybody ever do anything like what Bruce Willis did in Die Hard. Your average male cop or agent more likely looks like Bruce Willis than Arnold, and trained male agents can't do what he did in Die Hard either.
Funny. Nobody shits on Ripley, Sarah Connor, Alita Battle Angel, etc cause they are well written characters. If you don't want to be called a girl boss or a Mary sue write better characters. Unfortunately none of these people. Especially at Disney actually know how to write female characters. So they end up just mirroring Male characteristics..Or are too afraid to show any of their female characters as vulnerable. I think in this instance he's calling her a girl boss cause she's the female lead in an action film...Which is quite frankly not as popular has Male led action stars..Nor does Female lead action stars actually put females in the seats. Yet they insist on doing it no matter how much it fails. Also nerd said the movie was good. And its probably the best action movie of a year

I think The Road Warrior was a pretty decent hit, but I might be wrong. It got a lot harder for R rated movies to be big hits when they started enforcing the age limits, which they really didn't do back in the 80s. The Road Warrior was the one that broke the series in the US. Most of the fans hadn't seen the first film priot to that. Then people were not real happy with Thunderdome. I remember "real fans" calling it a sellout. Not unlike fansfeeling a band having a hit record was seen as selling out It cost $10 million to make The first film made $7.7 mill off a $400,000 budget Road Warrior made $23.6 million off a $4.6 million budget so $36 mill off a $10 million budget for Thunderdome was probably iffy for the studio. Fury Road made $380 mill with a $185 mill budget. So the film with the chick action hero did better than the initial trilogy. Considering the shot of Max is him at his car eating something & seeing Furiosa collapse after escaping after losing the arm, using the stunt guy makes sense. It is a long shot with Max around mid-screen & Furiosa in the distance. It's just sad a section of modern fans are so invested in stuff failing. Remember people whining about Solo because fanboys felt Disney should have cast Harrison Ford & de-aged him? But they hated the last Indy because there was a chick in it? Modern fans are fickle

Maybe people get tired of seeing the same violent movie with humans living like stupid pirates in cosplay over and over, especially one like Mad Max with such bright hope for future.

I’m seeing Furiosa this week. I’m very excited given it’s George Miller blowing shit up, which he’s one of the best at doing.
