I didn't Lava it either. The longer it went on, the more I was really hoping there'd be a hell of a payoff that would make it worthwhile, but... no. Pretty pictures, tho.
Inside Out, on the other hand... lava lava lava. All the lava.

The original Max trilogy is a self-contained story with a beginning middle and end. Fury Road's not a sequel, it's a reboot that uses some of the same elements, like the tanker chase from Max 2 and the extreme post-apocalypse world-building of Max 3. Fury Road starts right about where Max 2/Road Warrior did, but then just goes off in an entirely new direction.
There are a lot of little references to the originals - certain costumes, the music box, etc, but there's no need to figure out how Fury Road fits into the original timeline, because it doesn't.
It was an apartment fire. Do you not have those in Idaho?
Apologies if that's because there aren't any apartments in Idaho. I'm sure it has many nice features.
Here in the States, we have both types - "natural spring water" and just "water in a bottle". They're labeled appropriately, but I doubt everybody reads the labels that closely. Dasani is indeed just tap water put into bottles. It's not illegal but I bet a lot of people would be surprised to know that's all it is.
Penn&Teller did a Bullshit episode long ago about bottled water - my favorite tidbit was that bottled water is classed as a food product, so it's regulated by the FDA. But the FDA doesn't put a high priority on checking bottles of water vs. putting their efforts into making sure meat and produce aren't full of deadly bacteria and so on. Meanwhile, tap water is regulated by umpteen different agencies to make sure it's safe. So anyone who drinks bottled water on the assumption that it's somehow "safer" than tap water has it exactly backwards.
Violent Year is my least favorite of Chandor's three major releases so far - which is only to say I respect it, just didn't love it like I loved All Is Lost and Margin Call. I just chalk it up to "well, that one wasn't for me" and I'm eagerly looking forward to seeing whatever he does next.
I just started (intermittently) binge-watching Justified, am about to watch the 1st season finale. Enjoying it so far, and will likely continue working my way thru the seasons. Got a very interesting tone to it, the only other show I can think of that feels similar is Longmire, which I also like.
We have reviewed your proposal for a new weapons system - thank you for your submission.
After careful consideration, we feel that the complexities of manufacture and delivery make your proposal unfeasible for us at this time. Instead, we have opted to continue with our current system of setting the arrows on fire, which has proven highly successful.
Yours,

Saw Kingsman, and pretty much what Avatar said above, ditto. Doesn't come together as beautifully as KickAss - some setups seemed to be missing payoffs and vice versa - but overall I had a good time with it. It's got some third-act choices that genuinely surprised me.
And Sam Jackson as a lisping supervillain was certainly a refreshing change of pace.
