I very much enjoyed Furiosa. Very cool expansion of the world.

I've heard the director of Furiosa George Miller had a follow up movie planned called Wasteland with Tom Hardy (from Fury Road) as Mad Max, but Furiosa has so under performed at the box office in spite of being a great movie that it might not get green lit now.

Sad, but that's what happens when you produce a movie starring a secondary character like that. Sure she was the co-star in Fury Road, but Max puts the butts in the seats. Hopefully we still see the Wasteland one day. I am kind of hoping we can get a Mel Gibson epilogue of some sort someday, too, with old man Max. I didn't see Furiosa yet, but I should make time one of these evenings after work to help with the cause like I did with Godzilla Minus One.

Bringing a conversation from the Hoffman boards over here: for those who’ve seen the Big Country (Peck, Heston, Oscar winner Burl Ives), is there an undertone in the film about impotence? Wyler wanted to make a Cold War allegory but I think he ended up somewhere else. Everyone’s either showing off guns or having to prove their manhood, and the women are always turning them away for one reason or another. For a near 70 year old film, I can’t be the first person to notice this…or am I?

I watched it opening weekend, and while it was good I am not at surprised it is underperforming. Although it is a pretty good movie, it is not a movie much of anyone was asking for. I felt like we already knew everything we needed to know about Furiosa to make Fury Road work. So instead of progressing the story and pushing things forward to some sort of conclusion for Max we spent a movie retreading old ground.

Furiosa will probably be best for newer viewers who watch the films in order and who haven't yet seen Fury Road, where the major tensions of Furiosa's journey were nicely resolved. For fans who had already seen Fury Road the Furiosa movies best contribution may have been the fleshing out of Max's world. Worldbuilding backwards and sideways rather than forwards..?

Yeah. Probably so. And, it was definitely a worldbuilding movie. I think this is the first movie that kinda started to narrow down a little timeline for the MadMax universe. There is a little narrated portion later in the movie that listed different wars, Gas War, Water War, the something something Nuclear War, a war or two that I couldn't hear very well, and then the 40 Day War.

Aye, and whilst it may have missed the target at the box office it might still become a bit of a cult classic later, in a similar way that Dredd 2012 did perhaps.

Picked up a bunch of DVDs/BlueRays, some of which I have viewed previously and wanted, but I thought I would share the ones I haven't seen as blind buys that looked interesting if anybody has any thoughts.
I, Tonya (Margot Robbie) No Way Out (Costner) State of Play (Crowe) Guarding Tess (Nicolas Cage) Untouchables (Costner) Showdown in Little Tokyo (Brandon Lee, Lungren) Son of the Beach season 1 and 2 (knock off of Baywatch-saw a couple episodes and remember it being much smarter and funnier than it had a right to be) Touch of Evil (Orson Welles) Key Largo (Bogart) Sands of Iwo Jima (Wayne) Thin Red Line (tons of people)

They dropped the ball a bit in season 2.

Son of the Beach was a Howard Stern production, back before Howard moved to satellite radio and obscurity.
