Light saber whip... 🤣🤦‍♂️

What's next? Light saber net launcher? Light saber nun-chuks? Light saber imagine whatever you want alla green latern ring? 🤣

Light saber can opener. Why? For use against battle droids of course! 🤣

Well, poop. I'm hoping we do get more MAD MAX films.

On a side note after re-watching all the movies last weekend I'd have to say The Road Warrior is the best sequel that was an improvement over the first film imho. Meaning if I'd score Mad Max a 5 or 6 and The Road Warrior is a 9. In comparison Star Wars: A New Hope or Batman Begins scores 8 and their sequels are a 10. 

I also still think a streaming series could work. My idea wouldn't be a 'street gang of the week' but showing how society collapses when the infrastructure (energy. water, law, etc) breaks down that eventually leads to wasteland road violence. 

‘Furiosa’ Box Office Puts Brakes on George Miller’s Next ‘Mad Max’ Movie

Looks like a fun sequel. My whole family is in!

I haven't been rewatching the movies but I did restart the Mad Max game from 2015, and what a hidden gem that game was. Absolutely gorgeous, incredible sound design, Arkham-style free flow combat, great car combat, beautiful fire and explosions, it's a great open-world game, and an excellent Mad Max game. 

Same, restarted the game too. First re-play since 2015 and its still great. Didn't realize I put in over 80 hours in my first play through tho, lol.

On a side note I'm reading Furiosa is a box office bust but I don't lay blame on the movie, instead I think its on the theaters and their ticket pricing. Want to fill seats? Lower their price if its not filling!

It's been a MAD MAX long weekend for me by watching all the movies on MAX, lol. Not in a particular order either. First was Fury Road followed by Road Warrior and Thunderdome and original Mad Max last. Though George Miller directed all the movies I think all the films are well made and except for Fury Road and Furiosa they are so different from each other in terms of wasteland wheeled adventure.

That being said I think Mad Max could make for an excellent streaming series.

Yeah, used to be it was just previews, which were always nice to see. But with more people staying home to wait and stream movies in comfort, they have to bring in more revenue somewhere. Sadly, that's just more commercials...

Our other local (Alamo, ICON, CMX, etc) theaters actually don't have ads played when the movie is supposed to start and I guess that's what it made seem so obscene too.

Saw it today. It was good, felt like a companion to the last movie. Hemsworth was great and should play more villains. Side notes though...

I am never going to a Regal Cinema again. Had to sit through 30 minutes of mostly ads and some trailers after the movie was supposed to start. Unreal.

Morgan had a lot of issues and wasn't a very good guy however he did make fast food restaurants change tho so I guess that is something.

Uhhh, we'll wait for reviews.

I think STAR WARS is making this series for the non-fans. The SW casual fan type that loves baby Yoda and says "May The 4th Be With You" on Facebook but never played KOTOR or watched an episode of REBELS or Clone Wars.

I could've sworn the zombies were dwindling during the previous movies, but I'd have to do a re-watch.

The zombies were gone in the second film too... Why no 28 Months Later is an odd choice tho.

I'm still hoping for a October showing of the THE CROW at my local Alamo Drafthouse. I emailed them about but they said they have no plans for it beyond this month.

Back in 1998 into 1999 I remember the huge hype for THE PHANTOM MENACE but who knew THE MATRIX would steal its thunder??

Cool, just in time before I cancel my PRIME membership this October.

Interesting...

Roger Corman launched many Hollywood careers, best known is James Cameron.

Wife and I saw THE FALL GUY for date night tonight. It's a funny and entertaining movie though I think everyone involved had a little too much fun making it, lol. It's also a love letter to Hollywood's stunt doubles too. Stunt actors are working for more recognition with the Academy Awards with their own category and deserve it however I think it could lead to deadly situations where they try to outdo each other just for an award.

Disney and Warner Bros. Discovery to Launch Disney+, Hulu, Max Streaming Bundle (Variety.com)

One wonders how long it will be before we head back into a cable TV-like subscription model (many, if not all streaming services, available in 1 bundle).

Saw this but expect it to be pricey. We only watch about an hour of streaming a day so we're limiting our subscriptions. Right now its MAX, Paramount+, Apple+ and Prime. I don't plan on renewing my Prime subscription this year.

Just started watching YELLOWJACKETS on Paramount+. Really really good.

OK...

Two words: blue milk.

I saw blue milk at my local Target last week. Who was this made for?? lol

Re-watched JUSTICE LEAGUE Snyder cut and was reminded of how good it was. A tragedy that WB tried to go full MCU in such short time and abandoned it just as quickly too.

No idea how these new films will go but how much reboots and spin-offs can we fans take??

Aw man, Bernard owned that role as King Theoden. I'm trying to convince my daughter to watch LOTR still.
