"We went to this town and killed people. Then we went to another town and killed people. We are so mysterious."

There, I saved everyone from having to buy TBC.

It had its moments.

Not many though.

I left off uhhh.. where he became one with the chained up omnipotent thing. I think that was the end of the series at the time and I had definitely had enough of it.

What the fuck is this doing in this thread.

Saw it yesterday.
I really liked it. The wives were mad hot, from the Victoria Secret model to Elvis Presley's granddaughter. All of them, also Mad Max is actually crazy which was awesome.

I've been trying to explain this very thing to the dullards I work with, but even if they like the movie it is just because of "yay explosions!"

This is also one of my biggest pet peeves in books. I don't want to be told that soandso is a bad person (or any other character trait for that matter), I want to see them do something bad and figure it out for myself. For those that have read them, this is why The Black Company books are my favorites, practically zero description or back story on the characters, but they are more vivid to me than almost any others.

I'm sure someone's already recommended it, but you should try the Malazan series then. That the author doesn't explain much except through organic conversation is what a lot of people hate about it.

You never learn anything about those empty shitty characters in those terrible books.

I wouldn't call them terrible(Sword of Truth series gets that descriptor), but I can't disagree that the characters were shitty. Like, maybe the only person I felt a reaction for dieing was Goblin. Why does the archivist like the lady? Who knows, plot demands it, so it will happen.



Anyway, watched this last night, great movie. I'm not huge on action movies much anymore, so I really only appreciated those scenes from the standpoint that I knew most of them were practical stunts. Which also had the side effect of making the CGI action REALLY stand out. Maybe that was purposeful, idk. It was kinda fun to pick out the moments where spikes on various vehicles would wiggle in non-metallic ways.

I agree about the exposition part, or rather lack thereof. I think this film gets an extra bonus because so few films do this properly these days. Kinda like Edge of Tomorrow should have just been an average sci-fi action film but it gets elevated because of how shit the genre has been lately.

I just automatically assume anyone that's read TBC has also read Malazan. But if now, definitely echo that recommendation. Erikson lists Cook as his biggest influence.

We all know Fury Road is the greatest movie of all time... but this video tells you why.

George Miller is literally a brain-cocaine wizard and you didn't even know it. They way he shot from leading cut to cut in mind blowing. Give him all the Oscars this year and next year, to be safe.
