Fat girl flashing her upside down ***** to a crowd of people > Empowered female warrior who can hold her own against anyone.

Message received ladies. I don't want to hear another word about your feminism.

i learned that lesson after the sexist torture porn movie known as 50 shades of grey made 100 million on opening weekend

I actually feel bad that I didn't pay for either screening I went to. I may have to see it a third time just so I can give them my money.........and I wanna see it again.

 

[moose]

We're is my 1/6 scale figure dam hot toys makes the best but they always play it safe. Three zero it's up to you now

I cried in RW because it's like watching Die Hard on wheels!

Fair enough! . Don't get me wrong RW is awesome.

I was hoping for Hardy to get back his original car and star wrecking the chase pack.

how did you see free?

 

[Scareb]

how did you see free?

First one was an advanced screening I got passes for Wednesday night and then our Canadian theatre chain has a points system and I put my points towards a free movie which was max on Friday.

I agree with that, shame that didn't happen.

Spoiler

His car got destroyed in it if I'm not mistaken, he was saying "that's mine, that belongs to me" lol.

Then it got crushed!

Technically then you payed for it if you used your points.

Good job!

Box Office Mojo Report:

Over at Warner Bros. they must be heaving a sigh of relief with the same breath they're using to congratulate themselves. Sure they have to settle for 2nd place but they have to be proud that they're spending their weekend defending Fury Road's $44M take and not what could have been a $100M write-off. Rumors abounded that the shoot was troubled (Tom Hardy apologized to director George Miller in Cannes for his behavior on-set) and early test screenings reportedly went poorly. Reshoots were necessitated yet still the studio didn't know what to do with the nearly dialogue-free film. That they ended up with what is being hailed in many circles, from Connecticut to the Cannes Croisette as a classic, one that could propel the franchise down the line, is a testament to testing.

If they ever make another one I do hope Hardy's apology was *Bane voice* ''gratefully accepted'' *close* so he can play Max again. T'would be a shame not to have consistency.

Interesting:

Apparently, during the filming of Mad Max: Fury Road, actor Tom Hardy, who portrays Max, was apparently quite frustrated with the shooting process of the film, which accumulated a staggering 450 hours of footage shot.

According to THR, Hardy turned to Miller at a Cannes press conference to state:

I have to apologize to you, because I got frustrated [during the movie’s shoot]. There was no way that George could have explained what he had conceived.

Many people are also surprised to find that Max is, in a way, not the central character of the film, although he does get a great deal of screentime. Rather, the focus is on Charlize Theron’s character and her mission to save “The Five Wives”.

Miller explains that this wasn’t always the intention, saying:

Initially, there wasn’t a feminist agenda. The thing that people were chasing was to be not an object, but the five wives. I needed a warrior. But it couldn’t be a man taking five wives from another man. That’s an entirely different story. So everything grew out of that.

the sequel is about firiosa and Miller wants it to be an anime movie

The guitar-playing driver and his car were incredibly badass. That is all.

 

[Prime Clone]

Mel Gibson made his bed, he now has to lay in it.

That's "lie" ('lay" is past tense).

This was an Australian production and I doubt Miller cares what Hollywood thinks of Mel. I think Hardy was cast because Mel lost interest and/or was getting too old.

He was at the premiere, after all, so he can't be *that* toxic!

 

[jye4ever]

I agree, guitar guy was bad ass!

 

[Deckard]

You are going to have a lot of damage control to do after your 8th viewing when you realize how much you love everything about this.

110 million worldwide. Suddenly PP2 is not so far ahead.

[jye4ever]

I will never love that guitar guy, maybe I'll learn to tolerate him!

And immediately I have no interest.
