Mad Max is really good you guys. Like, really,
really good. Have you seen it yet? No? Well, go see it. We'll all wait for you to get back.
In the meantime, those of us who have seen it can talk about how great it was. And I guess we can talk about all the other movies that aren't Mad Max.

Tomorrowland is out now too. The reviews so far are pretty mixed, but it is a Brad Bird film. It might be worth a watch.

Jurassic World comes out next month and, I mean, it's a Chris Pratt joint, so of course I'm gonna go see it.

I might be wrong, but I don't think we've really talked about Dope? I'm honestly pretty excited for it.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ngElkyQ6RhsI want it now.
And hoo boy, there are a lot of other movies that we can talk about. But especially Mad Max. Have you seen it yet? No? You really should.
(Honorable mentions for trailers not included in this OP: Ant-Man, because we already have a Superhero Thread, and Terminator: Genisys, because
hahahahaha, nooooooo, that movie is gonna be hot garbage.)

This week: 'Space is dark and full of terrors', with the order based on distance from Earth.
Today was Gravity and Moon. Gravity holds up great, and I'd never seen Moon before and now I'm kicking myself for waiting this long because goddamn that was good.
Tomorrow is Armageddon and Sunshine. I fully expect the mood whiplash to break my collarbone.

I think the most generous ones are basically "It's alright...if you're eight."
Edit: so apparently the next showing is at 7 Goddamned 30, I ain't waiting three hours to eat popcorn.
Avengers is in an hour, I could stand to try that again.
I still don't actually know anything about it
I've been trying to not read reviews, but the meanest thing I've read about it is that it does not feel like a Brad Bird movie
It feels like Chris Columbus
Tomorrowland was fun. I wouldn't necessarily call it super great or anything, but it was fun.

Some good jokes, some ok songs, couple new characters that weren't awful.
It was a solid C average follow up to the greatness of the first movie, but I was ok with that.
I don't think you can handle this
And considering how much I've heard people talk about how Fury Road reminded them they should replay Brutal Legend, that is incredibly smart of them

I just rewatched Wet Hot American Summer and the Special Thanks include
Dan Castellaneta
Stephen Colbert
Billy Crudup
Adam Levine
Mary-Louise Parker
and Liev Schreiber
And I feel like there are many stories there and I wanna know
That would be one hell of a party group.
The silent with soundtrack aspect could go either way, but after seeing this trailer I feel a lot more interested in the black-and-white aspect

If it's just grayscale for the whole movie without much deliberate forethought, then that's not much to get excited about.
Like
this movie uses color better than just about any movie I can think of in years
It would be incredible if the color grading was completely redone for the black and white version so that it really popped in B&W.

Black, white, and silent is a really excellent way to bring the editing of a film to the fore. Steven Soderbergh somewhat famously gives a whole lecture on editing by using a black, white, and silent presentation of Raiders of the Lost Arc.
Given how revelatory much of Fury Road's editing is, I'm VERY interested in that particular special feature.

That's what they do. They just stole a joke directly from X-Men. They don't make parody movies. They make reference movies.

Just before The Rock shows up to the team meeting, Roman asks if anyone else smelled baby oil.
