    I could tell from the trailer, but maybe that’s cause it was earlier footage. This isn’t just based on my being able to tell, it’s well published they kinda bullshitted this one. I guess it was cause filming fury road was fucking brutal and dangerous but…that seems like a very not Mad Max cowardly throwing the baby out with the bath water. Fucking fix the safety and scheduling issues from last time. I guess if the fake worked it worked, but just knowing they didn’t do it for real this time is gonna hurt it for me no matter what.

    Its like, I do enjoy how local punk shows are generally more inclusive and moshing in an aggressive way (pogoing and kinda bopping around instead of push moshing or karate shit, still rocking but if you’re smol you’re good) but also when out of town going to punk shows in a basement where the plumbing explodes half way through and people are holding up cables and sweeping water out while a crowd thrashes out a tiny basement and eventually starts shooting off indoor fireworks as well is a breath of the least fresh air ever, but metaphorically fresh air. I genuinely enjoy and appreciate safety but every once in a while, give me fucking danger plz. Mad Max is on the Gimme Danger side for film to me on an extreme end. Despite my better judgment, knowing people were in serious fucking danger made watching Fury Road in theaters that much better. One of the best movie going experiences of my life, went at 10am with a quart of vodka hidden in my vest. Spiky hair, studied vest, patch pants, worn army boots. The ticket guy asked if I was dressed up to see the movie and I replied no, I dress like this every day but the weird genres of punk I’m into are basically doing mad max cosplay anyway. I had a great time and after the movie went and recorded a sick grindcore demo.

    Edit: the rlm review mentioning that the movie seemed like it was made on coke, I was doing lines off.the seat in front of me. I had the theater to myself

      Also I will be seeing this and will most likely still love it, don’t get me wrong. It’s mad max, and if thunderdome is still something I love, this will be fine. I’m also a little bummed about Charlize Theron not coming back but Anna Taylor Joy has slapped super hard in every performance I’ve seen her in and is easily one of my favorite ‘current’ actors and is well cast.
