Otherwise, even a vaguely pleasant memory of watching this the first time with my kids didn't have enough to warrant a second viewing. <br /><br />The version I checked out from the library had the sequel as well.

I doubt after the experience, I will ever get him into a theater again. We all hated it and the sucker punch environmental message was so sanctimonious, I wanted to throw more plastic six pack rings in the ocean.Richard Kirkhamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16428986542891346618noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3166297507174717122.post-66982973478458937182015-07-02T14:13:54.878-05:002015-07-02T14:13:54.878-05:00Should I alert you when I go on a piss rant?

You might want to check out the review of <i>Becky Sharp</i> last month--I ripped on that one, too.<br /><br />I watched this the first time on a family vacation, too. My memory of it may have been more positive of it because of that, but the reality this time was far, far worse.SJHoneywellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13550007053995112090noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3166297507174717122.post-45108287632042814662015-07-02T14:12:06.272-05:002015-07-02T14:12:06.272-05:00Well, on the positive side, I don't ever have ...Well, on the positive side, I don't ever have to watch this again, so there's that.

It's like Christmas in July!<br /><br />I think I saw this movie in the best setting possible: On vacation with the fam, looking to escape the heat and settle down my then very young, overtired kids with some PPV. I don't remember the actual film very well, but I do remember that everything in the room was cool and quiet (other than the yammering of the TV) and still.<br /><br />-Nolahnnolahnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14686127419316337858noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3166297507174717122.post-56231039544935816402015-07-02T12:37:03.312-05:002015-07-02T12:37:03.312-05:00Just think happy thoughts of Immortan Joe, Imperat...Just think happy thoughts of Immortan Joe, Imperator Furiosa, and good ol' Max....Kevin Kimhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01328790917314282058noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3166297507174717122.post-53215205214277604992015-07-02T11:00:11.412-05:002015-07-02T11:00:11.412-05:00Well, I figured I'd be in the minority on this...Well, I figured I'd be in the minority on this. <br /><br />I don't see this as a parable on the dangers of religion. I think it's more a parable on the dangers of fundamentalism. Essentially, the penguins substitute one religious belief for another one. <br /><br />I like <i>Rudolph</i>, too.

I didn't love it or anything, but the one time I saw it, I didn't hate it. Also, isn't George Miller the director of the Mad Max movies? Not just the producer (or were you using "producer" differently)?Nickhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08092564511948736386noreply@blogger.com
