Grave Of The Fireflies
Is the best animated film of all time IMO

Mad Max Fury Road was the best film of 2015.

Yup.

Apart from being just behind The Martian and Ex Machina, of course.

I watched Fury Road, the first part any way. There were lots of cars zooming around and people apparently trying to kill each other. I had no idea of the importance of anything, or why I should care about what was happening. I guess I'm stupid, I just didn't get it. After about an hour, I shut it off. Never was much of a Mad Max fan anyway. At least the color was pretty good, no serious white balance issues like so many recent movies.

are you pretending that color grading is a "white balance issue" because you don't like it or do you actually think color graded movies are just poorly exposed?

I don't know what "color graded" is. I will check.
What I mean is that a lot of modern movies have a distinct blueish-green cast, as if the entire film was shot under fluorescent light while others are fine. The lack of neutral grays is usually obvious.

Fury Road is a Mad Max chase scene with continuous action and explosions and amazeballs visuals.
If you meant in looking for a deep story, you went to the wrong movie.

I saw Fury Road drunk in a cinema with 3D glasses. It was the right movie.

I could imagine mad max would be very confusing if you turned up a few minutes late and assumed that the stuff you missed had explained what was going on.

This enchanting movie is about the "russian soul", about being russian. Try to see the full extended version. Try not to fall in love to Russia as well.

Thought this was pretty awful, and surprised to find it had some good reviews although I agree with this one:

I think they made a mistake casting two planks of wood as the male leads...
I really enjoyed it. So ner!

Too bad, it's rare that an action movie pay as much attention as Fury Road to its internal consistency and believability (cough jj abrams cough)

He says he was misquoted in the Guardian article. He has stories for two more movies. What he was saying is that his next movie is not a Mad Max one.

Merry Christmas Mr. Lawrence (Japan, 1983). David Bowie is a pretty awesome role:

How fucking boring and overly complex is True Detective 2... Stopped watching after episode 3.

Better Call Saul Season 2.
After the premiere which I felt was treading water a bit, this thing is back in full throttle.

Aye, I thought S2E1 was slow and boring but E2 and E3 were pretty good.
I really think this show is a "wait for the whole season then marathon it" sort of show though. Otherwise it's just too blue-ballsy.

Was great conceptually. The multiple layers, entwining and complex story, the extreme moral morass...the groundwork was great.
The execution. Not so much. Pizzolato absolutely needed a few months to sand off the rough edges. In its current form, it's nearly incomprehensible. There are moments through the season that elevate the material, with some good individual scenes, but as a whole, while I do recommend it, it's certainly a step down in quality from season one. Fukunaga's absence is keenly felt.
