I was going to mention him because I do like Foo Fighters, but decided against it because they're such different styles. Nirvana was grunge and Foo Fighters is, well, good.
And probably got paid a butload of money to stand there in a sound booth for 15 minutes to record 32 versions of "I am Groot".

I watched Pitch Perfect 2 last night. Score on AMEX for the free screening passes.
The movie was good, not as good as the first, but that's expected of most sequels. The racist jokes were entertaining in the beginning but they started to get old fast. Nonetheless, I'd probably watch it again and still laugh because I'm a horrible person.

My wife saw Pitch Perfect #2 yesterday and liked it better than the first. Her and my daughter love the first one and watch it probably once a week.

What did your daughter think of it? I will admit that there were some parts that are better in the second movie but overall, I guess I just prefer the first?

I saw it yesterday, and I don't see how it got that rating. Non stop action, but it reminded me of The Hobbit in that is was too much action, one never-ending battle with no plot. Were the ratings because the old ladies got to be action heroes? As I sat there i kept thinking of better ways to spend my time.

Did you see that Toecutter from the original Mad Max is the villain in the new Mad max?
^I didn't know that.
I enjoyed it, but it made me want to go back and watch Mad Max and The Road Warrior as superior alternatives, at least in my biased memory. The Road Warrior was one of the first R-rated movies I watched by myself, late at night, after my parents got cable in the 80s. The Road Warrior, The Thing, Alien, and Apocalypse Now are probably my favorite movies for the same reason.
I remember being blown away, as a 15 year old or whatever, by the raw violence and craziness of The Road Warrior. Fury Road had some of that, but with a lot less of the character building, if you will, of Mad Max in the other movies. Max was just a tough guy in the new movie, with little else going on. The action was awesome, though, and the villains and cars were great.

Alright, having now had a couple of days to digest the spectacle of Mad Max: Fury Road, and read a couple of good reviews like this one, and learn that there was actually very little CG and virtually everything in it was live action, I want to see it again with the proper mindset. And that would be just enjoying it for the sheer spectacle, the vehicles, and the EXPLOSIONS.
And the FLAMETHROWER GUITAR, ferchristsake! Holy shit!
