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. It’s basically an episode and it’s us revisiting this world. We never wrote the story—any of the stories—with a chronological connection.”](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:bkrmghhduse6z3wesvvr4y66/bafkreidiqdsc6lokuye4bsdvuo4y6wmlgfrm4z5l34qoqibpnvcdmtisyi@jpeg)

Still haven't seen Final Reckoning - friends bailed last weekend and #lifehappens has gotten in the way - but thoroughly enjoyed this piece from @jadiestills.bsky.social on Tom Cruise, technology, what is real, and what is absent. Especially this paragraph.

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!

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.
