A24 4,331 Posted January 12, 2016 Share Posted January 12, 2016 We got a lot of action but that's about it. It so happens that I find action one of the most boring things in movies. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
#SnowyVernalSpringsEternal 10,265 Posted January 12, 2016 Share Posted January 12, 2016 No, we got a story told through action, and acting rather then through the exposition that you so frequently complain about. A superb example of world building, far superior then Guardians Of The Galaxy, a film which you still seem to champion.

A24 4,331 Posted January 12, 2016 Share Posted January 12, 2016 It was a remake, just like TFA, but with a forgettable Mad Max. Really, if action isn't the main course that you are reading too much into it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

#SnowyVernalSpringsEternal 10,265 Posted January 12, 2016 Share Posted January 12, 2016 Yeah, it's interesting that after years of stating that a films visual style is paramount, he didnt "get" this one at all.

crocodile 8,012 Posted January 14, 2016 Share Posted January 14, 2016 I don't care for this category all that much, because it doesn't seem to mean a whole lot. There are numerous examples in the Oscar history where it went to, shall we say, questionable titles. But the other categories can be measured and judged quite fairly, given tha they are being picked by specialist in each area. So I'd say a technical achievement in cinematography or editing has more value than "best picture", no matter what people say. Karol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jay 37,359 Posted January 14, 2016 Share Posted January 14, 2016 George Miller WILL Direct More Mad Max Movies… Eventually “That was a completely garbled interview. I was in New York and it was so noisy and the journalist was asking me questions on a red carpet at the National Board of Review,” he said. “She completely got the wrong fragments of information that were just not true. I said no, [another ‘Mad Max’ movie] will not be next, and she took that to mean I never wanted to make another ‘Mad Max.’ It won’t necessarily be next, but I have two more stories.” Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
