Unpopular opinions

[Graeme]

More Gilliam is always a good thing @mclaincausey.

I don't think that you're advancing an unpopular opinion there. I'm of a similar mind, see my mini-rant in the Movies & TV thread about the new Avengers film.

The thing that has me slightly worried is the rise of the Cinematic Universe. Studios are wanting to link franchises in the same way that Marvel has done. So instead of just getting a reboot of Indiana Jones, we'll get a trilogy of films about Short Round's adventures fighting the Japanese in WW2 China, and a comedy about Sallah's Tiki bar in '60s Hawaii.

Or, to put it another way, things will get over-explained, and always in a more boring way than we expected.

Not sure how unpopular this is.. Most dudes that button the shirt all the way up look ridiculous.

I love looking ridiculous  sometimes i do it chicanostyle and only button the top one on my shirts, something i do since 25years lol @Peter your opinion your style man 

[Peter]

It almost always comes down to style/confidence, if you're comfortable; fucking go for it! But buttoning the last button has become somewhat of a trend, and most people can't pull it off. Imo it's also got a lot to do with the shape of the face/head and haircut.

Went to see Mad Max Fury Road and left the cinema before the end of the film. Absolutely mind numbing. No emotion. Read some reviews and the critics loved it. I reckon the film companies pay the critics back handlers in exchange for favourable reviews.

I trust your reviews @den1mhead . Ex Machina only came out down here last week or so, amazing movie!

[den1mhead]

@Snowy, agreed, Ex-Machina was a quality movie

I've been chewing over the ending and potential outcomes/game plans for days…sign of a good movie.

Fury Road was amazing - every damn second 

[Black Orchid]

Kind of amazing visually and that should be the case for an over $150 million film… but wishy washy storyline and devoid of emotion. Go see if all you seek is a mild adrenaline rush...

I also button up when commuting in winter. (Would like to see that kick scoot in the pic, please.)

I think the movie is, what the movie should be - a visuall punch in the face.
'Mad Max' and Emotions .. or a complicated and profound storyline would be a bit contradictory.

Alex Garland has ruled out a sequel, which is a shame in many ways because I think that the story could go an interesting direction.

Then again, it could end up going down the AIs kill humanity route, and we've seen that film a lot of times before.

The inheritance tax should be almost confiscatory.

@Bob:

The inheritance tax should be almost confiscatory.

Why?

[Bob]

Two primary reasons.

First, I don't want to live in an oligarchy. Family fortunes and the power that they bring should be tempered, for the greater good.

Second, Conrad Fucking Hilton. Google him.
