I was reminded by a friend that I had never seen The Fury. So I’m watching it now. Max isn’t around. But I’m sure he’ll join me later. He won’t mind if I get started without him.

Darkened Living Room and Cat Theater 
The 20th Century Fox logo had no music. I don’t think I’ve seen that before.

Man! That is some dramatic intro music! This thing better start wit a murder or something!

…And we start with two men racing and then wrestling on the beach. First scene of the movie and there’s already homoerotic subtext.

Is this entire scene going to be shot from the back? I mean, I appreciate bikinis as much as the next person, but I like to see faces.

Completely useless scene. These actors must’ve been friends with the producer or something.

“Visualize sitting in an empty theater looking at a blank screen.” I was there just a couple weeks ago. Projector malfunction or something. Took me a few minutes to realize nothing was going to happen and I went to the customer service desk.

This is definitely more comedy than horror so far.

Why go through all that trouble just to drive the car into the river? Well, he escaped from a boat that blew up. I’m pretty sure he can get out of this, too.

He called her from a phone booth. As soon as he identified himself she hung up the phone to go get him. Did she just happen to know to go to that specific phone booth?

If you’re going to bring a powerful psychic in your quasi-secret organization where there are dark secrets that you know about, maybe you shouldn’t stand too close to them.

That’s interesting. All movie Kirk Douglas was acting like he didn’t care very much about this woman and now he’s crying over her.

I just don’t care enough about these characters to care about what’s going on.

This Robin guy is a bit of an asshole, isn’t he? I don’t know if I’d want him back if he was my son.

What is The Fury supposed to be, anyway? All I’ve seen close to furiousness is Robin’s whiny outbursts.

Yeah, okay. I guess this counts as fury. Still whiny, though.

So, were they trying to create a living weapon? Thus all the rage? And it backfired? Is that the point? It just seems like a lot of movie for such a small payoff. I mean, I feel like the movie was spending way too much time with things that didn’t matter instead of showing the actual plot moving.

Okay. HERE’s the payoff. Exploding head.
