Monday night my son and I marathoned the Mad Max trilogy.
Yesterday we watched The Matrix trilogy and all four Terminators.
I suppose time has softened me towards sequels no one likes. Trinity's 20 minute death monologue still annoys me and the silliness of T3 seems even more silly, but I'm over lamenting not getting the stories I wanted and more into trying to appreciate the story the writers wanted to tell, as far as Matrix R & R go anyway.
Mad Max 2 can suck it though. 1 and 3 are great in completely different ways.
Road Warrior was the first one I saw. Being roughly the same age at the time, feral kid appealed to me.
Just watched the trailer for the new Arnold movie. It looks...interesting.

Gymkata: I mean look at da lil playah woblin his way into our hearts in the sig awwwwwww
Your Thunderdome explanation makes perfect sense, but I just can't agree with the rest of it. Road Warrior is in my top 5 list, probably.
I need to rewatch them as an adult. It has easily been 20 years since I've seen them.
Just got back from seeing Kingsman. I really liked it! Was a heck of a lot of fun, and did some things you feel like you never expect most mainstream movies to do. And OMG I was/am so in love with Gazelle. (In some small ways, she reminds me of Gogo Yubari from Kill Bill—who, shockingly, I also love.)
