Re: Mad Max - Fury Road

Very cool Aldin.
I was just thinking the other day that I am fairly certain that I saw the Mad Max movies in reverse. Perhaps that is why I like Thunderdome where others say it is horrible.

Greatest game of all time!

A cloud can change its semblance, yet retain its will
With the intimacy of destruction, One knows what it is to be alive
The empty sky holds no reflection, for sorrow

Re: Mad Max - Fury Road

That is cool Aldin. My daughter and I both have our birthdays in the middle of May so we'll probably go see the movie together. She loved The Road Warrior.

As a side note I just posted my advanced rules for the classic board game Thunder Road over on Board Game Geek. It's the newest one under the download file section and is named Advanced Thunder Road. I think I've posted photos here on this site. If not check out the gallery for the game. My photos are the ones that show the custom game that uses modified Hot Wheel cars.

Edit: Here's the link:

Re: Mad Max - Fury Road

You posted the pictures here...

Would I want it to be everything I love...sure...but that's just not realistic so I'm going to focus on finding things that will make me unhappy and work on fixing those.

Thanks Japes! They were posted under the GenCon thread. There's more photos on BGG.

Of course if anyone wants to play you'll need a copy of the rules, along with the game board and pieces. There's a nice redo of the rules on BGG. And several people have made their own custom version of the game.

Just a note to others, there are more pictures posted on page 5 of the GenCon thread that really show of the board so don't stop after the first post.

Just read my first review for Mad Max: Fury Road and it sounds fantastic. Here is a little part of the whole:

Re: Mad Max - Fury Road

I now see it's batting 100% after 23 reviews on Rotten Tomatoes. Really excited about this movie now.

Since I've already seen the new Avengers, I'll say this is the movie I'm most excited about now!

Re: Mad Max - Fury Road

Caught it on Friday, it did not disappoint. Pretty much everything you want from a Mad Max movie. Worth seeing on the big screen. Even a couple of cool 3-D parts and I'm not usually all that impressed by 3-D.

Only one complaint.

Re: Mad Max - Fury Road

Amazing stuff! Kinda hard to fathom what felt like, in a lot of ways, one continuous scene. Felt very much like a comic book - in a good way. Very visual storytelling. Happy to have seen it opening weekend on the big screen, even though in a lot of ways it's a difficult movie to spoil. Speaking of which...

Spoiler Alert!

Re: Mad Max - Fury Road

I realized that I never came back here to voice my amazement at this film. There are movies, and then there are films. To me this was cinema at it's finest. I'm amazed that a film maker actually got to make a big budget film in today's corporate movie industry climate that tells you a story using the visual aspect of the media, rather than bombard you with exposition laden dialog as most movies these days do.

Wow, wonderful stuff. And what a concept: Film as an Art form. I heard tell of that back in film school. Never thought I'd see another film like it again in my lifetime. Thank you Mr. Miller.

I really like this quote from Bill Hader:

"I think the person who said it the best was Matt Stone from South Park. I go", “Did you see Mad Max?” and he goes, “Yeah.”

“Well what’d you think of it?”

He said, “Going to see it for the third time, I’m wearing a suit.”

Yep. That sums it up quite nicely.

If you haven't seen this yet go, before the CGI f__k fest that's Jurassic World runs it out of your local theater.
