Exactly. These bloated big budget films are not what works necessarily. And sometimes I should check my spelling before hitting “create post”. Whenever that happens I just blame Admin for editing my posts as a part of a campaign he has against me.

You are so invested in this failing, yet pretend you care about film So a film about a female child kidnapped (human trafficking) deserves to fail. Ok. I don't want any films to fail merh, and I will watch Furiosa when it comes onto streaming and let you know what I think of it. I have decided that the the combination of Anya Taylor-Joy (who I have liked in other films and TV shows), Chris Hemsworth and Tom Burke and a good director is enough reason for me to watch it. It doesn't really look like my type of film, still I'm open to seeing it. I'm into love stories, romantic comedies, human dramas, historical epics, westerns, detective stories, serial killer movies, musical dramas, war movies, true stories, dog movies, top quality European films Still, its not a good thing for an already fast failing industry that a good quality big budget tentpole flick like Furiosa is failing at the box office and I think its a good thing that we examine why it is failing to draw large enough to make a profit, or even earn its money back. Did you see the viewing figures for The Idea of You? When it was released on Prime, 50 million people watched it in the first two weeks. It's not a particularly good film, but its romantic and funny and sweet and the gorgeous Anne Hathaway glows like the great screen goddesses of yesteryear. Sometimes this is all audiences want, to be entertained. I do admire your passion for FURIOSA A MAD MAX SAGA, but don't mistake my concern for the shaky, floundering future of the cinemagoing experience with dislike or negativity over this particular movie. If the tentpole movies don't make money all the small arthouse and independent films I love won't get made anymore; in fact this is already the case; the middle has literally dropped out of the market - only low, low budget movies and big, big budget movies get made these days, there is no longer anything in between. And when the center goes ... Sucks, doesnt it? All those superhero films people want to bomb have been supporting all those arthouse films. I am seeing a horror film in around 5 hours. My kid got the tickets. What I get for taking the kid to horror films as a child. In a Violent Nature. I am not a slice of life or rom com person. This year...what have I seen? Argylle Lisa Frankenstein Madame Web Dune 2 Ghostbusters: Frozen Empire Late Night With The Devil Kong vs Godzilla Sting The Ministry of Ungentlemanly Warfare Fall Guy Tarot Kingdom of the Planet of the Apes If The Strangers Chapter 1 Furiosa I appreciate the storytelling of Furiosa Remember that line in the Crow where Top Dollar tells Eric Dementus is Furiosa’s Devil. She can't rest until she takes her vengeance on him.

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! He says it wasn't a bad film in the video..Not sure what you're yapping about. Oh. Oh I see. Well, back on the back burner it goes, then. Shame. TY for the update.

I saw Fall Guy, I found it a bit disappointing. Would you ever watch SALTBURN?

I enjoyed the stunt man aspect of Fall Guy. Felt they did a good tribute to stunt people. Late Night is a talk show format. All the really spooky stuff comes in the last 30 minutes or so. I think the kid is interested in the M Night movie-the Watchers.

For those who have seen it: did Chris Hemsworth’s wife Elsa Pataky’s two characters (yes, she had two roles) have an Australian accent? Kinda screams of nepotism doesn’t it? Why give someone with a European accent TWO roles? Wait... Chris Hemsworth's wife entered in the movie?!
I didn't even notice her at all.

She played two roles. A woman who was with Furiosa’s mother and also a disfigured gang warrior woman.

this movie failed because there weren't enough black, Asian, Hispanic, LGBTQ, or lesbian female actors in story line, because when Armageddon hits we want to pander to everyone's feelings!

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. My mate told that in NZ you could rent X-rated pornos at the average video store back in the day. I forgot to mention NZ had an R20 rating as well. That rating was abolished around 1985. Yes, from about 1987, one could rent hardcore porn vhs from local video stores. They had to have their own section, were rated with a bright red R18 certificate and had a consumer note about explicit sexual content. As long as they didn’t have sexually violent imagery they weren’t seen as a problem anymore.

The Dead Don't Hurt is a portrait of a passionate woman determined to stand up for herself in an unforgiving world dominated by ruthless menThe stories happened. No one bothered to write them.
Did she go out and get a restraining order?
