Fair enough for a general survey question. However, the point about how policy decisions shouldn't be based on opinion/anecdote is still valid (at least in the case of gun control).

The hip fire point really got me. Hip firing a gun makes it far less deadly. You have to actually aim to hit targets. Real life isn't like video games.

Probably because the vast majority people are capable of using a subwoofer responsibly.

Subwoofer ownership isn't an explicitly stated constitutional right, so it can't be for that reason.

Assuming you're in the US, that's either a really cheap mortgage or a huge family. Where are you seeing grocery expenses exceed mortgage payments?

Absolutely! I really hope they figure out a design that allows them drive in extreme wet contlditions.

The best potential sponsorship location since the LED hubcaps on the 2022 reg concept car.

I think this disagreement boils down to which elements are CGI.

Of course there are many background elements that are CGI in Fury Road, therefore most scenes do contain CGI. However, all the primary elements of the scenes (vehicles and characters/costumes) are generally practical. That doesn't appear to be the case with Furiosa. The most important stuff appears to be CGI in many cases.

Your second to last paragraph is pretty much my point. Obviously there was CGI in Fury Road. But you're completely correct that the "important" stuff was practical effects.

That's where my concern with Furiosa stems from; much more of the important stuff (vehicles and characters) appear to be CGI.

I don't think you're completely accurate here. Do you have anything backing up your claim on the amount of CGI?

Fury Road is pretty well documented for using an inordinate amount of practical effects. Vehicles, costumes, explosions, etc. As far as I know, the most CGI was for the background/landscapes of scenes. And Furiousa's hand of course. The quantity and the quality of CGI in Furiosa is my issue

Shit stirring on the internet? Preposterous!

Personally I don't think it's too far either--I'd agree with you. I just meant I understand how someone might think "embarrassing" the kid infront of a stranger may be too far

Please don't tease. His parents never teased him growing up, so he finds it very disrespectful.

 
 

the team’s English and French personnel have been known to book separate hotels.

Yikes...if that's true it's a symptom of a very major problem.

 

With the WGA strike nearing a close, I've been seeing a lot of articles predicting a return on October 7th or 14th.

I think the 7th is too soon of a turnaround, but I could see the 14th happening if the strike officially ends.

Bonus points for predictions on any new cast members.
