So I'm just come back from watching Fury Road.

I have to say, if you're going to watch Fury Road, I recommend doing it after eating half of a large bag of buttered popcorn and having had nothing to drink since lunch: it really focused me on the story, I must say.

Of course as a result my most vivid reaction to the movie was JESUS FUCKING CHRIST DON'T POUR THE FUCKING WATER OUT INTO THE DESERT TURN THE FUCKING TAPS OFF WHAT THE FUCK ARE YOU DOING, so I may not be up to the same level of deep academic analysis that all y'all have been doing.

Anyway. Probably the best movie I've ever seen where the ratio of explosions to words of dialogue was greater than 10:1. Also I did not get bored of fight scenes and car chases at any point? Which was pretty freakin' magical given how quickly I usually get bored of those.

In conclusion, I still like Ancillary Sword better. :P
