Paul of Dune was so bad it gave me a seizure that dislocated both of my shoulders and prolapsed my anus.

Re: I hate Hollywood
I'd heard about that... didn't realise the original director was behind it though

Re: I hate Hollywood
I'm holding out hope for this one. George Miller might pull it off with Tom Hardy. I've also been annoyed for the last ten years that Mel Gibson kept refusing to make another one, for moral reasons or something.DuneFishUK wrote:I'd heard about that... didn't realise the original director was behind it though

Charlize Theron? There's not supposed to be any hot chicks after the nuclear war. Dumbfucks.

Re: I hate Hollywood
Apparently Riley Keough (Elvis' granddaughter) is "in talks" to co-star in this movie as one of the "Five Wives".
I've only seen bits and pieces of all three and each seemed somewhat different from each other, so not really sure what Mad Max is "about".

Re: I hate Hollywood
Three movies, one about a hard-core road cop in a society that was dying a slow death, two movies with the same character as a wanderer in a post apocalyptic landscape. They were noted for violence, good stories and excellent cinematography.Redstar wrote:Apparently Riley Keough (Elvis' granddaughter) is "in talks" to co-star in this movie as one of the "Five Wives".

Re: I hate Hollywood
I know that part, but the atmosphere of the post-apocalyptic world Max occupied seemed to become increasingly weird as the movies went on. I've seen more of the first than the sequels and the science-fiction/post-apocalyptic aspect wasn't as apparent as the later additions suggested. The sequels had warring tribes and steam-punk and "thunder domes", something the first movie didn't (seem to) indicate was a problem with the world. (Apparently the script for the third movie was an original concept tailored into a Mad Max installment, which would explain the change in direction)Omphalos wrote:Three movies, one about a hard-core road cop in a society that was dying a slow death, two movies with the same character as a wanderer in a post apocalyptic landscape.

Re: I hate Hollywood
I love how often the bad guys in post-apoc movies are punks/bikers/goths etc. I'll be there are more of these movies with punks as bad guys than without.

It was never the purpose of Mad Max to create a vision of a post-apocalyptic world that would be consistent throughout all of the films, and I remember reading somewhere that the director George Miller doesn't think any of the things that happen in those films would be likely to happen. Each movie is completely its own thing, which is one of the things I like about those movies. Road Warrior is one of my favorite action films of all time.
I think the fact that punk/goth/biker gear is used for post-apocalyptic badasses is probably a compliment to punks, goths, and bikers. Road Warrior has pretty badass costumes.

Re: I hate Hollywood
Okay, so the Facebook movie is apparently the greatest idea evar, so now they're making a movie about the guys that founded Google.
The movie will be adapted from Ken Auletta's Google: The End of the World As We Know It, as reported here.

Re: Upcoming movies you aren't looking forward to
Haven't looked at the link yet, but is it really because of the Facebook movie? I mean, a few years back they did that Silicon Valley one about Jobs and "Mr Bad Hair Day Until I Got Married and My Wife Made Me Wash It & Buy a Comb" (AKA Bill Gates) and the beginnings of Apple & Microsoft, after all....

Re: Upcoming movies you aren't looking forward to
Maybe not, but the recent Facebook movie may have let them to think it's possible to adapt such a story with success. Either way there's still cries of "Hollywood has run out of ideas!"SandChigger wrote:Haven't looked at the link yet, but is it really because of the Facebook movie?

Click clock, click clock, you've preoccupated universal spacetime with your click cock. I've been thinking about "click clock" all day.SandChigger wrote:[Post edited by spontaneous rip in universal spacetime]

My prediction is that the Facebook movie is going to have some interesting things going for it because of the director, and the Google movie is going to be terrible, as it's just part of this bullshit Hollywood thing where five different studios each try to do the same idea in the same year.
