Blurgh. My head is all like, IEIRVRHRIDODKDNDSISIEMDBDIDKDBDIDODNEHDIDLDJDID8DKDHEUE. 'Twas worth it.

It is embarrassing that we're not making the playoffs and that team is.

Aaaaaaaand the Leafs fans file out. Bye bye losers.

It's so pathetic when the refs decide a player is too small for the league. Their treatment of Ennis tonight is a disgrace.

Turns out Alamo mode works okay when we're up against a really bad team and we're up by 3. Why is Reinhart still on the wing? It's so obviously wrong for him.

Ennis is playing great. Spoken like someone that hasn't seen d4rk's wiener.

Eichel reads the board. He loves us.

Can confirm: d4rk is hard.

Made it through the rain! 11 is currently grabbing me a drink.

11 is carrying my sedan chair.

/incoming shame The only Miyazaki I've seen is Ponyo. I've gotta lotta work to do.

The horror movies that got consideration on my list are The Ring (2002), The Babadook (2013), The Invitation (2015), The Witch (2016), and Get Out (2017). I've seen a painfully small amount of older horror films.

I like the cut of your anger's gib.

This has been going around on twitter so I decided to go through some wikipedia lists. My favorite movie for every year of my life: 1993: The Sandlot (haven't seen Schindler's list because I'm a bad jew) 1994: Clerks 1995: Devil in a Blue Dress 1996: Hard Eight 1997: Boogie Nights 1998: He Got Game 1999: The Matrix 2000: Emperor's New Groove 2001: Fellowship 2002: Two Towers 2003: Kill Bill Vol. 1 2004: The Incredibles 2005: Sin City 2006: Crank 2007: There Will Be Blood 2008: Taken 2009: A Single Man, District 9, Zombieland (I'M CHEATING OKAY) 2010: Scott Pilgrim Vs. the World 2011: Rise of the Planet of the Apes, X-Men First Class 2012: The Master 2013: Nebraska 2014: Nightcrawler 2015: Mad Max: Fury Road 2016: The Lobster 2017: Lego Batman

How vapid and condescending.

The slow burn doesn't have to be slow, though. There's no hook in the first 60 minutes of the movie. I'm a huge proponent of watching films in one sitting and I split this one. If I wasn't watching for educational purposes, I wouldn't have finished it. If the plot isn't going to take us anywhere, then there better be something to capture the audience: mystery, character, visuals, or something. Max losing himself to the road is an interesting arc, but we never learned anything about Max or his Lady despite the enormous amount of screentime they chew up together on their vacation. The beginning of the movie is almost entirely about Goose. The bad guys are sprinkled in here and there but there's never any momentum to what's happening with them. I don't agree with saying that Mad Max is an old movie and that's how old movies were paced. It's just paced badly.

The feminism of FR is soooo good. Like not only is this the tightest, most exciting action movie, but it's also about the commoditizaton of the female body. How many meat heads went to see it and still didn't realize that? How many fake ass liberals got on it for being fan-service? It's so great that Furiosa and Max kick eachother's ass and we don't have to watch a scene where tough guy Max flexes his machismo afterwards. They don't talk about how great the other is at stuff. They meet in the thick of things and trust one another. (Furiosa being a LOT more trusting than Max at first) The entire way the story is set up is brilliant. Furiosa is the protagonist of the story, but Max is the protagonist of the film. The plot's pace is directly dictated by Max's ability to let other people into his life.

From the 40 minute mark to the 70 minute mark, Max and his lady go on vacation. No flow, no narrative focus, barely any characters, and no payoff shots on the action scenes (not anybody's fault, they just had no money). Max doesn't even get Mad until the last 15 minutes! I like the way the bad guys talk about Nightrider, and that that's where Max's car comes from. And I've never seen the cars that ate paris haha. It looks bonkers!

That was the biggest call ever. Clean hit.

I watched all the old Mad Maxes. Mad Max (1979): This movie is terrible. It's a 90 minute 1st act. What makes it stick out are the (lack of) stakes and the setting. It's this weird apocalypse-lite where the roads seem to be the only lawless part of the land. Civilization seems more or less in tact, otherwise. This is one of those sucky old movies that we're lucky blew up. Because then we got... (The Saw franchise! No seriously) ...Mad Max 2 (1981)! Released in the USA as The Road Warrior, Mad Max 2 turns up everything to 11. After making the first movie on a shoe-string budget, now George Miller really got to sink his teeth into the setting and blow up some cars. This is the old one that most reminds me of Fury Road. Mad Max: Beyond Thunderdome (1985) is the weirdest of the series. It's very of its time, straight copying the plot points and tone of Temple of Doom and Return of the Jedi. Not anywhere near as good as Mad Max 2. None of the Mad Max movies seem to be tied to one another's continuity, which is a really smart choice, I think. Every re-imagining of the wasteland gives us something new. It was lots of fun seeing the original wasteland that inspired the Fallout universe. Also seeing the seeds that would eventually grow into Fury Road was neat. I'm pretty sure that Max is something like 1/3 as crazy as Mel Gibson currently is.

He just wants nintendo to make games for other consoles.

Yeah that's the opposite experience I had. In the theater the sound was very cool.

Well. In the books he's a young douche with some real honor underneath. In the show he's a token gay character with no real motivation so...

I kind wanna watch Iron Fist upon learning that Finn Jones is the main character. He plays Loras Tyrell in GoT.

I've watched the first three episodes of Big Little Lies and I'm having a blast. It's got Nicole Kidman and Reese Witherspoon in good roles and they're both great. It's a kind of like a less serious, pulpier True Detective (season 1). Except it's about rich people and their children. It's mysterious and compelling. It's on hbo and episode 5 comes out tomorrow.
