A Boy And His Dog is a great film and is Joe Molotov’s avatar.

I just don’t get the Mad Max hype pre-Fury Road.

You’ve got a highly flawed, badly paced debut. Half of which is about Max’s family vacation. Then you’ve got a good but not great sequel. Then there’s Thunderdome which apparently sucks?

So you’ve only got one good movie and they built up a cult around the character?

Is it really just Road Warrior that gave it a fanbase?

it is funny seeing the tug-of-war between the people who are self-awareness of what ERA is and the people who are completely in the ERA bubble. I see Red Mecury and his ilk are starting the push back.

[Himu]

Mostly because it’s not as good as other genre defining movies like Terminator or Alien. And when it comes to  cheap indie 70’s/80’s films I prefer Evil Dead.

Mad Max is possibly my favourite film, and I love Mad Max 2 as well. That said, Cindi you’re bang on about him leaving his missus with Lizzy Birdsworth from Cell Block H. Not a great move there.

I’ve been shitting on Norm MacDonald for the past three years and his defenders here kept up their rose tinted glasses and defended him. The guy is absolute grade A fucking trash. It sucks but it it what it is. These dumb shits would have an argument about second chances if they knew what a sincere apology looked like. Shane didn’t apologize. He doubles and tripled down.

Yeah, it's a bit of a mess. I get that it had to happen, otherwise we'd have Mildly Angry Max, but they could've at least had him chase someone off and get separated from his wife and sprog, rather than him deliberately leaving them in the arse end of nowhere with vague promises of ice cream.

Still, I forgive it because I love it.

The game is really good.  I agree though that the only good movie is the 2nd.  It's a case where the style and character made a pop culture impact much more than the actual movie.

Before Fury Road, Mad Max had one decent movie, one great movie, and one movie that was pretty bad but highly memeable. Consider other landmark 80's pop culture icons that either never got a sequel (Ferris Bueller's Day Off, Princess Bride, Top Gun, Red Dawn, Beetlejuice, Labyrinth, ET) or never got a good sequel (Ghostbusters).

[GreatSageEqualOfHeaven]

Last bit: The dev also took the time to click through to look at some of the dev's games, and while they weren't asset grabs/cluttered junk, they noted that they were mostly games that wouldn't pop up in the hidden gems list, be talked about much on Era, etc. They're the kind of games that launch at a low price, don't break into new/trending, and tend to show up in PC game bundles.

ie the exact fucking games that people who don't like steam anyway moan about are allowed on the store in the first place.

Mad Max 1 does a really bad job of presenting a post-apocalypse

I know they had a budget of about 100 australian rubles but even so it just feels like the 1980s

I like how their amazing climax is 1 car crashes and doesn't even explode I think?  and a few motorcycles go over a bridge

[GreatSageEqualOfHeaven]

its not an apocalypse.
they just ran out of petrol.

thats just what australia would look like if it ran out of petrol.

I think the general consensus among Mad Max fans is that MM1 is more of a pre-apocaylse, that civilization had declined but the full-on apocalypse seen in MM2's intro doesn't happen until after the end of MM1. You can take that for what it's worth, I mean there are plot holes either way and it's clear that MM1 was a lot less concerned with world building than the sequels. Even in the sequels there was never meant to be any kind of coherent overarching plot line.

The way the timelines, world and even characters don't really match up in each sequel is something I started to like. It's like they're all their own different take on the myth of Mad Max.

[Uncle]

also whenever I think of Mad Max I cannot help but remember an ancient photoshop contest, probably on Something Awful, where somebody changed it to Glad Max and replaced his gun with ice cream

[Shuri]

The finale is an head-on collision with the bad guy and a semi truck and he gets obliterated. Also, in the first Mad Max, the world hasnt gone to shit, it’s in the middle of a worldwide energy crisis and society is slowly crashing. The police force is understaffed (i guess they werent getting paid anymore) and only a few super hardcore guys (like max, his best friend and the tall bald captain) are left to patrol the now mostly empty streets.

The energy crisis eventually leads to a nuclear war that we learn about in the second movie. Max2 happens a few years after the nukes.

The third movie is set even further in the future, as shown by the teenagers in the oasis who don’t know what really happened.

It's not a true Bronson tantrum until he "leaves" only to come back a day or two later and pretends like nothing happened.

He's a "genius" that just got his SalesForce certification after 10+ years in IT.  And he's still doing shit tier 1 level jobs, basically stuff anyone with a pulse can get.

One of my favorite realizations about the Fury Road feminism backlash was a bunch of MRA’s were Reeeeee-ing about a franchise that up until that point only had one good movie

“Fury Road has no world building!!” It’s like you’ve never seen a Mad Max movie lol. A lot of the story in those films was implied rather than outright said.

There’s no “crime” but imo he was gone because of this:

"I am skeptical of the claim that voluntarily pedophilia harms children. The arguments that it causes harm seem to be based on cases which aren't voluntary, which are then stretched by parents who are horrified by the idea that their little baby is maturing. " - Richard Stallman.

Of course he backtracked 2 days ago now that it’s a big deal, but being connected to Epstein and saying NAMBLa is pretty good actually is a sure as shit way out of academia these days.

Historically speaking, Road Warrior represented the mainstreaming of the grindhouse movie genre.  It showed that with a little bit of care and talent, you could elevate these pulpy stories and poor productions into something more.

I think that's why it was such a success, it has it's foot firmly planted in both worlds. The best John Carpenter movies also pull off a similar feat.

What about Evil Dead 2?

[ToxicAdam]

My recollection is that Evil Dead 2 didn't really become a success until VHS exploded in the late 80's. Road Warrior was a much bigger commercial success immediately.

i went into 2049 thinking i'd adore it, and while i enjoyed it enough, it didn't hit the spot i wanted.

i think the problem is that there's too much narrative motivation, too much drive. the original just sort of ambles along in a natural way that makes the setting all the more believable. 2049 is plenty long, but too much of a conventional story driven movie compared with the tone piece sensibility of the original, and i didn't find the narrative or any of the characters beyond batista particually compelling.

fury road is basically a tone piece too, that tone being a distorted guitar through a 12 stack rigged up to a war wagon.

yeah that's fucking dumb, he's also an autist so it's not like I don't expect it. For me it's the shit about pedophilia he said he only just apologised for that put me him on the list of people I wouldn't want to know irl.
