    My impressions from What are you Currently Watching: 5 minutes into Mad Max Fury Road. Lots of stuff that's sped up (or made to look like its sped up) and unnecessary cuts and cuts that remove a fraction of time just to speed things up, plus that thing that the start where a dude is narrating and there are whispers and shit randomly interspersed alongside it. This is everything I hate about directing and editing. This takes me back to the horror of watching Michael Bay's The Island. It's the rap song way to make a movie. Shallow and annoying. I already want to stop but I won't yet. Thank God The Lego Movie was so good.

    Edit: Furisoa!? That's her fucking NAME!? How did anyone still get into this after hearing that? That's not good enough for a childrens movie.

    Edit2: That electric guitar spitting fire. If this were a PARODY of action movies and manly testosterone stuff, that would work. This is a genuine action movie. That was wrong.

    Edit3: This is just stuff. Dumb, crazy, pointless stuff. I wouldn't accept this as a game cutscene or music video.

    Edit4: Why does any of this matter? Because he's got a spooky ghost daughter? I feel like I need a drink and I don't even drink. This also takes me back to the first God of War, which I didn't like. I'm not liking this better than Batman and Robin or Son of the Mask. I think I'm gonna stop. My feelings are hurt by the popularity of this. 23 minutes.

    "We all like what we like and I begrudge nobody for having a good time. If you enjoyed this film, more power to you. But don’t confuse liking something with it being good. This is not a “masterpiece” as the paid reviewers are claiming, and it won’t be a game changer. It will be forgotten quickly. The movie is stupid. It’s a product of lazy writing and a video game mindset. It’s too violent and shockingly unsophisticated, even for a summer action flick. It’s also kind of offensive, and for the life of me, I can’t figure out why so many people like it."

      Editing … I'd give it a 7.5 or an 8, I liked it quite a lot. I wouldn't call it a masterpiece and I can get liking it less than I do. No way does it deserve a 1 though and I don't see how it's offensive.

    Why does this movie run at like 120 FPS?! Everything feels sped up, it's unnatural, unnecessary and distracting.

    I had never thought I'd see another Mad Max movie again.
    When Fury Road was announced, I was fuckin' pumped! We all knew we'd get another Star Wars someday, but MAD MAX?!
    Over thirty years after Thunderdome, Max Rockatansky's introduced to a whole new audience with what might be the greatest reboot of all time!
    Thank you, George Miller.

    After watching this again, I can now say with 100% certainty that this is my new all-time favorite movie. Terminator 2 had a good run as my fav for about 15-18 years, I'd say. But it has officially been dethroned.

      Editing … Yes, that good! Better even! I don't wanna over hype and get your expectations too high, but honestly I don't think that's even possible. There is literally nothing about this movie that I don't like. And this is coming from someone who generally hates remakes/re-imaginings or sequels to older movie franchises. I'm very hard to please when it comes to stuff like that. I love the original Mad Max movies, especially The Road Warrior, but Fury Road is better than them all. This movie should be the new standard for both reviving old franchises and making action movies in general.

      Editing … Nah. Fury Road is weird in that it doesn't really have a place in the timeline set up by the originals. It can't take place after Thunderdome, cause the new Max is too young. Similarly it doesn't really line up with the timeline of the first, plus there are a few little "flashbacks" that kinda contradict details from the original. It's not a remake, not really a sequel, it's kinda its own thing. So, no prior knowledge required.

      Editing … There's no pleasing her lol: "Viewers get to feel good about hating cartoon misogyny without questioning themselves or examining how sexism actually works in our society." It would be cool to see a movie like Mad Max trying to deal with domestic violence; but people also watch these movies to escape reality sometimes.

      Editing … She isn't wrong, but it doesn't make this film less amazing. Like, obviously MRAs found it relatable enough to our society to flip their collective lid over it. "Rape and sexual slavery are bad" "FEMINIST PROPAGANDA!!" People are excited because for once, we have a well renowned and respected director, behind a well known action movie franchise, creating a film that's all about a diverse group of women kicking ass and supporting each other, and ultimately overthrowing an oppressive regime in the process and being hailed by their peers as heroes for it. Disabled women, women of color, old women--not just a single, token, ~exceptional~ woman in a group of men who is white, young, and conventionally attractive and reduced to "The Hot One." In fact, the men here were the "tokens" and that's incredibly refreshing to see for once. The story is centered on women, and it wasn't any less visceral or intense--arguably it's more so because it's not the same bland narrative we've seen in action movies a million times before. I also read she said something about the movie encouraging people to like ~manly things~ like fast cars, gunfights, and explosions, and it's like... if you don't like that stuff then you're free to watch a different genre of movie, but Miller just proved that you can have all that stuff and still appeal to women (including those like me who don't normally watch action films), so... Don't get me wrong, I think Sarkeesian is really important to gaming culture because lbr, she would be experiencing just as much abuse from #GlompyGluters regardless of whether her feminist discourse was always on point, lol. She seems really knowledgeable about games and I agreed with basically everything said in her first video. I try not to watch a lot of her stuff because she kind of triggers my anxiety sometimes (I've come to associate her with some really nasty arguments I've had in the past). But she's just cherry picking here and I've heard it isn't the first time. :L

      Editing … Yeah if it's going to make you anxious it's not worth stressing yourself, though it's a shame if arguments are causing you to avoid something you are passionate about. She did mention something about manly activities: "Feminism doesn't simply mean women getting to partake in typical badass "guy stuff". Feminism is about redefining our social value system." I'm not sure if you could make an action film without 'badass' stuff though... I'm always torn on these things, I love action movies and games, though I hate violence in society.

      Editing … Again, that's an argument I can get behind (wrt feminism not simply meaning women taking part in "badass guy stuff") but it's an /action movie/, and it's not like Furiosa was one-dimensional. They showed her to be sensitive at times, too. Furiosa is a really interesting character and I wish there had been time for more characterization for her, but if the movie does well enough, maybe Miller will think about doing a prequel film going into her background or something. I'd love to see another movie about her.

      Editing … Also, I'm really sick of fast cars, gunfights, and explosions being constantly labeled as ~guy things~ by feminists. I understand that society at large associates these things with men and "softer" things with women and that's why the former is treated, by and large, as cool and the latter as frivolous and unimportant, but maybe if we as a society made an effort to stop calling this stuff Guy Things and Girl Things we could finally eschew this particular brand of misogyny.
