Here's a brief interview with Miller where he talks about some of the challenges he faced with Mad Max's minuscule budget.

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...

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...
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 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...
Mad Max 2: The Road Warrior (1981)
This film was a sensation in the early 80s capturing the zeitgeist of the era through its Punk aesthetic and sharply etched post-apocalyptic environment. It was a huge step up from the original with 10x the budget and much better production values. I saw a...
RIP Gary Floyd, frontman of The Dicks. They were originally from Texas but moved to SF because it was a more welcoming scene for a big gay man like Floyd.
He had a little more commercial success a few years later with Sister Double Happiness but The Dicks were way cooler...
I'll report back on The New Barbarians aka Warriors of the Wasteland (1983), an Italian Mad Max knock-off directed by Enzo Castellari who brought us the original Inglorious Bastards (1978).
Plot synopsis: In the year 2019, after a nuclear war, humanity is reduced to a few starving groups. A...
Me neither. I find the talking animals of Babe less ridiculous than post-apocalyptic muscle cars.
I've seen all four of the Mad Max movies and would rank them 2-4-1-3.
