He's the guy behind the guy.

Ys.

Maybe Melanie killed the real Pete, took his face off, and gave it to her surgeons, saying, "This. I want this."

What a twist!

I've decided Pete is going to reveal that he's actually Melanie Dorkus, after extensive reconstructive and cosmetic surgeries from the injuries suffered by the spray tan incident.

For half a second, when the Chanels were trapped in the mall, I thought they were going to do a Dawn of the Dead riff and have all the murder victims somehow rise from the dead to terrorize their betters.

Fuck you, Internet.

The more I think about it, the more I think Fury Road is the best movie ever.

A friend of mine called it "pure cinema" and I think that's perfect.

Yes! Miller got everything the movie needed to be put together by an amazing editor. I mentioned continuity in another comment and that's as much the editor as it is the director, if not more so.

It's not even how perfect the marriage is for me, it's how amazingly directed it is, the continuity between shots telling the story 100% visually. Just a perfectly executed action movie, which is the oldest genre there is and isn't given nearly enough credit at the Oscars.

Never let the perfect stand in the way of the good, Stan.

I actually totally agree with that. "Coward" is a great answer for Ralph Fiennes in interviews, but let the mystery linger in the movie.

Also, any movie that gets people as excited about the art form of movie making as Fury Road does is automatically the best picture of the year, no matter what awards it doesn't or doesn't get.

How do you award Fury Road best picture but not George Miller best director? I don't care how good The Martian is, that movie could have been made by anyone with talent. Fury Road is a singular vision and that vision is Miller's. WITNESS ME.

Four, technically! I don't know who the poor actor dropped down the chimney in For Your Eyes Only was, but he did his duty.

I agree that with time it will just be a thing in the movie rather than THE thing, part of Bond's history with the Craig movies as essentially their own pocket Bond universe. But I think Into Darkness existing is going to always be an easy way for people to criticize an otherwise harmless moment.

Eh. I think if you don't know anything about Bond, the delivery in the scene doesn't make you think you should, you just learn Oberhauser's new name. I really do think that's the difference. Certainly they wanted fans to be in on the call-out, but the fact that it doesn't affect the story doesn't make it worse. Sure,

"Iterate explorations" does have a ring to it.

It's not the same thing in Spectre. Blofeld doesn't say his name in a way that indicates he expects Bond to care, just as an explanation why he no longer uses the name Franz Oberhauser. And when Bond addresses Blofeld by name later, he isn't doing it as a wink to the audience, simply as the character accepting that
