Thanks for that -- I tried it and found the bit! Glad to help. Look like some interesting models.

Just got back from seeing "Fury Road" for the second time. Me and the wife were really looking forward to it but were both not impressed. Maybe cause we didnt see it in a cinema :/ Maybe cause we hyped it up to each other first or maybe cause we were both knackered. or maybe because its just not that good a film..?

I haven't seen it, but I'd wager it's the type that you have to turn off your brain to appreciate. Most movies these days are that type. I don't go to movies often.

Or they tend to be remakes of older classics. Occasionally you get a great movie but I'm struggling to think of any new movies that were that good.
One Armed Boxer 2 was the best movie of all time.

TV occasionally allows my brain to work. Movies, almost never, and even the "clever" ones tend to be more "conforms to the opinions of 'clever people'" rather than genuinely thought provoking.

And yet your avatar is a vehicle from the film... It's an awesome movie, and anyone who says differently will be needing to spend some time in the Embrace of Pain.

Do you generally prefer peatier malts, Trooper? I do enjoy them, but I also enjoy the saltier ones too.

HI feel that watching it at home will be less enjoyable due to the sheer spectacle of the events upon a big screen, sort of like lord of the rings or gravity is less good on a small screen.

Fury was much better than fury road, as for recent great movies i think the last 10/10 to come out was whiplash

I liked both recent movies that have Fury in their titles. Gotta give it up for actually having the world's last running Tiger I actually drive around for a bit. Also gotta give it up for Pixie-haired, dirtied-up, amputee with bionic arm Charlize Theron and vehicular carnage and pew-pew-pewing. :3

I saw both at the cinema, Fury was gritty and I liked that element, the Tiger fight was excellent too. I found the film was let down with the interaction with the civilians and the final fight sequence which was very poor.
Fury Road was ork heaven with plenty of mechanicus vocabulary and culture thrown in for good measure. Imperator Fury, the V8 hand symbol, Immotem Jo with his steam-punk rogue tech breathing apparatus, War Boys etc etc
I am planning to watch it on the small screen at home over the next day or two and can imagine it won't convey the same power.

I'd agree with Tread about Fury. I get what it tried to do with the civilians, it flubbed it badly. It ended up falling into the "Noob joins hardbitten veterans, veterans make fun of him but grow to accept him at the end, everyone but noob dies in final stand because MURICA." trope. Saving Private Ryan did it better. The first two thirds of the movie were let down by the last third.

Well I bet you don't get the occasional crazy jaywalking, talking/ shouting to themselves or others, while walking out onto a main highway where cars are going 40 mph, down your end. That would only happen in the city.
Ice buckets are the only cure to this malady.

On a day like this my city is so full of people from your city that jaywalking IS the traffic. The drivers are just sitting there weeping like Guard generals who are close enough to the front to see the endless wave of Tyranids. (not that they could drive at 40mph on a normal day).

Once you start mowing them down, they'll get out the the way of motor traffic.

nope, they just shout louder and chew on your wheels.
once you have around 4 biting on a tyre it gets pretty hard to keep the momentum up.

British engineering is famous. Puts some saw blades on the front of the vehicles.

Are you sure they were tourists and not humans corrupted by xenos plants, such as in the movie Invasion of the Body Snatchers?
