This quote is getting demolished because this isn’t that hard. George Miller has known this for decades! So has James Bond! Just write a good story and trust that your audience doesn’t need continuity-rot level hand-holding.
![George Miller at the Cannes 2015 press conference of Fury Road: “…the the films have no strict chronology. It’s probably after [Beyond] Thunderdome, but it’s an episode of Max and this world.

Guy Ritchie’s career should be studied by our brightest minds in top-secret laboratories because it absolutely baffles me.
“It is the “Citizen Kane” of second-screen entertainment. Every frame rewards inattention.” I reviewed Fountain of Youth. With my flamethrower. Dear lord, what a lump of nothing. www.rogerebert.com/reviews/foun...

If I had a nickel for every time an emo revival band referenced cutting their fingers off on the first song of an album I’d have two nickels. Which isn’t a lot but it’s weird that it’s happened twice.

Working theory: you can tell the quality of a Statham vehicle by looking at his name. The winning formula is roughly: First Name (1-2 syllables, max) Last Name (Noun, must be short), or something mononymous.
Adam Clay? Never in doubt. Levon Cade? Tried too hard. Cole Reed? Not a lot of juice!

Michael Mann's 1999 film The Insider is rentable to stream for $3.99 in various venues. This might be the night for it. If you've never seen it, run, don't walk. (To your couch.)

Man this Val Kilmer news sucks. This will be my forever image of him: movie star smile, sunglasses on, knowing you are but a few feet from getting away with it.
It might be the perfect metaphor for life. RIP Val.

The phrase “my jaw was on the floor” is overused, but I honestly I remember my mouth hanging open agog when the Peacemaker rolled up. My roommate, who saw the film earlier that morning and was seeing it again, just had to laugh. A true holy shit moment.
