Apocolypse Now.....now there was a favourite of mine, great movie. Hopper was brilliant.

Mel Gibson in the 80’s, the movie before The Road Warrior. Tina Turner Beyond Thunder Dome. Ringing any bells?

Road Warrior an absolute classic. The new Mad Max-Fury road was so well done. It was up for Best Picture.

The whole movie was killer until around the end where it got weird. But yes Hopper was great.

Yeah I remember the song by Tina Turner, movies were just ok, if that. I'd rather go fishing.

True enough. Anyway, Humongous was the leader of the evil (from one perspective) scavengers.

I think he did a lot of drugs to prepare for that role.

For November I think everyone should have to have the avatar of the player or manager they hate so they have to learn to live with him
- LeftCoaster


not sure they could fit the entire 2018/2019 team roster picture into an avatar for your pic though.

I think Brando was just a weirdo in real life, but yes, Hopper was messed up "man"

Loved the new one. The guitar guy was a bit much but overall the artistic quality with the soundtrack/colors/effects were off the chart IMO. Should have won best pic I thought but that Priest/Spotlight movie took it.

I would recommend watching again maybe half-sober? lol

I thought it was easily the best of the Mad Max bunch George Miller really hit that one out of the Park.

But...not for everyone of course.

I don't hate the players, it's not their fault they were brought here. The only guy who I think is a waste of space and never from the beginning understood why they brought him to Vancouver is Eriksson.

Didn't Coppola say he would never work with Brando again? Somethign about him being a supreme jack-ass and never on time/there to film which pushed production back months?

That film was seriously messed up. I’m pretty sure they actually butchered a cow. I read that the opening scene where Marty ruins his hotel room he was high AF. I love it, own it on DVD, it’s a New Years Day tradition, but wow, crazy poop.

There were fewer boundaries back then. Now you can’t do poop without someone crying about cultural appropriation, or digital black face

Is that a new series or just new to Netflix?

I've seen almost everything done on the Vietnam War and read as much as I could including a number of books about life after the war for those over there.
