Why Furiosa Is Not The Best Mad Max Movie Explained In George R. R. Martin's Review (screenrant.com)

Game of Thrones author Martin is also eager to give Miller his flowers for Furiosa, though Martin maintains that The Road Warrior and Mad Max Beyond Thunderdome are still better than the latest Mad Max saga entry, and indeed are both better than the widely acclaimed Fury Road. Check out Martin’s remarks below (via Not a Blog):...

Anyone tried the number? I’m asking for a friend.

I often get “the 10 best 4ks you have to own” listicles in my newsfeed and it seems odd - buy what you like and it’ll look a bit nicer in 4k.

From what I’ve read:

  • 2001 and most of Kubrick’s films
  • Dunkirk and most of Christopher Nolan’s films
  • Dune
  • Lawrence of Arabia
  • Lord of the Rings
  • John Wick
  • The Thing

Regular sex, probably.

He looks remarkably good for his age too.

It’s on Amazon Prime, Now TV, Apple TV and it was released on DVD that’s still quite reasonably priced.

Second Sight are a UK boutique Blu-ray distributor, so it may be difficult to find where you are.

Yes, that is one of the more high profile example, along with places like St George’s Hall standing in for Gotham in Batman. First Avenger was filmed in the Stanley Dock area and the adjacent dock road - apart from the big “Brooklyn” sign it’s actually pretty unaltered as there’s some interesting buildings down there (not sure if the hexagonal clock gets screentime you see the box bridge, the main dock walls, etc). There’s even a nice family connection as my grandfather (who would go on to be a gateman on the dry dock further down the road) learned to swim in the Bramley Docks which are the next ones along.

You can try but I fear we are in an It Follows situation here. Not sure which of us is it though.

They are some great examples because most local people don’t give it a second thought but some location scout saw that and went "well there’s our Tibetan prison.

Liverpool has done well as a location because we were rather ignored for decades so the Victorian dock complex was left untouched, where, elsewhere, they’d have just been demolished and some soulless glass and concrete apartment blocks would have been built all over it.

He may well have done - I imagine only the carefully vetted were allowed near him in his last days in case he revealed too many secrets or his human suit slipped.

I’ve never sleepwalked but I do suffer recurring !sleepparalysis. I will post some of my greatest hits there when I get the time.

Ooooo, it worked.

Thanks for getting the instance going a year ago.
