Here's a brief interview with Miller where he talks about some of the challenges he faced with Mad Max's minuscule budget. https://www.nfsa.gov.au/collection/curated/asset/99358-george-miller-making-mad-max-budget

Basically yes with increasingly more elaborate production values and some mythological mumbo jumbo.

City Hunter on Netflix is a Japanese remake of a 1993 Jackie Chan movie. Both are based on an 80s manja about a womanizing private detective. The new film is better looking but changes tone midway through from a zany comedy to a more standard action movie. It loses a lot of energy when this...

Lance Stroll is the poster boy for entitled nepo drivers but he's got some talent. He's managed three podiums and a pole which you can't get as a gift from dad. He still makes too many errors for a guy with 150 F1 starts but he's not the worst driver on the grid. Almost everyone in F1 has been a...

He outqualified Alonso :shrug:

Movies I watched in April Hearts of the West (1975 - H. Zieff) Bright Lights, Big City (1988 - J. Bridges) Edge of the City (1957 - M. Ritt) The Tall T (1957 - B. Boetticher) Incendies (2010 - D. Villeneuve) Anna (2019 - L. Besson) The Magic Flute (1975 - I. Bergman Party Girl (1995 - D. von...

It took me forever to make it through the 700+ pages of this one. It started off promisingly with the native Ohlone and the gold rush and robber barons. The story of Leland Stanford and the founding of his university was fascinating. The author started going off in multiple directions around the...

Strance Loll FTW

You're bound to get some close finishes when the last green flag run is two laps almost every week.

There is a gap between RBR to the next four teams and another gap to the backmarkers but those gaps are relatively small compared to most previous eras of F1. If you look back at old seasons, the qualifying intervals and margins of race victories were significantly larger than they are today...

It was the age of the tires combined with the compound choice. Both Red Bulls struggled with grip on the hards for some reason.

It wasn't my turn to choose for movie night so I got to see a couple of new streaming releases. The Idea of You (Prime) is a rom com about an unlikely romance between a celebrity and a normal person. Anne Hathaway plays the commoner, a 40 year old mom who somehow sweeps a member of a huge...

Yuki maximized his race. He's now ahead on an Aston Martin in the championship. Oh yeah, nice drive by Lando as well.

KMag has 10 penalty points. 2 more means a race suspension so we may see Bearman again in 2024.
