I saw it Friday night. I saw it again on Saturday. I may have convinced Rachel to go with me once we get a baby sitter (instead of Avengers 2). I think I need to go a fourth time before the end of the summer.
There are no more movies for me. Only Max. Everyone else can pack up their cameras and retire.

So did you guys see this yet? I'm up to three times. I think I should stop, but while I was watching it I was thinking "I can not wait to see this again."
Apparently this struck a real chord with me that it might not with you, but holy shit I love this movie.

Ran out of clock on my last day off - took the tire people three hours to replace the brake pads and rotate the tires, instead of the 90 minutes they told me. So that's good times. Short of taking a day off specifically to see the movie, I don't think I'll catch it til it's on the Prime.

Saw this today in after dropping Claire off at daycare. Here's my take:
1. Total, absolutely batshit insane movie, from start to finish 2. I don't understand for the life of me how people got offended by the "feminist" slant in the movie 3. Total, absolutely batshit insane from start to finish 4. Spikes on the Prius
I love that they didn't spend a lot of time explaining things. Who's this Immortan Joe cat? What's wrong with his faaace? What's the deal with the Citadel and the Bullet Farm and the Other Place Who's Name Escapes Me and those guys with the white paint or that guy with the nose and the elephant feet? The correct answer is "who gives a shit?" and the movie answered these questions correctly and emphatically.
Max has about a dozen lines in the entire film. He spends the first 40 minutes or so with a cage over his face. In short, Max isn't the hero in a film called Mad Max. I love love love that the "Max gets to be the hero" scene happened entirely off camera. Max walks off into the darkness, there's an explosion, Max returns covered in blood ("it's not his blood") and carrying a mess of guns and other supplies. I'm serious, that's absolutely genius.
The only knock I have against the movie is that I saw it in 3D, as this was the only means available for me to see the movie at this late a date (seriously, there was a 9:45 showing and like a noon showing, both in 3D, and that's it in the greater Columbia area). While the extra depth was actually pretty nice for the establishing shots and showing distance (and this was a chase movie where distance is of the utmost), it got in the way of some of the action sequences. It was distracting. And also there's a scene near the end where they do the mandatory "and now this thing comes FLYING OUT OF THE SCREEN RIGHT AT YOUR FACE just kidding it's on bungee cords and snaps back into the screen" thing, which, c'mon man, this isn't the first 3D movie ever made. It was eye-rolling.

Yeah, I was flipping around and caught it as Nux was tying the truck to the tree.
"I'll just watch this scene"
"... and now they are running the credits"
Love it.
