I watched the Cannes interview and they started asking questions with spoilers so best to avoid everything now until the film is out.

I just did! I hope you guys will enjoy it. Some of the scenes, admittedly, gave me shivers. I don’t want to give too much away but Furiosa is reminiscent, aesthetically, of both Three Thousand Years of Longing (the narrative insists on myths plus the “dreamy”, surreal sequences) and Fury Road. That being said, a lot of the action scenes are actually innovative, previously unseen, so it isn’t redundant in comparison to Fury Road. Also, fans of the franchise will appreciate the worldbuilding and get the references. I’m Looking forward to talking to you spoiler free.

Brilliant, brilliant stuff. Just saw it last night, totally unexpectedly - seeing it again on Friday! I'm kind of bowled over.

The CG and general look of the film is very much of a piece with Fury Road, with the caveat that this is both a different period of time in the Wasteland, and it's mythologized storytelling - there were, to be sure, a couple of moments early on where I was like "whuh oh, that looks kinda Hobbity," but they're very, very few. For the most part, you're just gobsmacked. Particularly the first thirty minutes, the Stowaway sequence, and the last hour. It's major, major stuff. The trailers misrepresented and/or misdirected it pretty badly.

(I did find it fascinating, by the way, how this Film reveals that not everybody involved in Immortan Joe's cult of personality is a fervent believer, at least at this stage. There are still people who dress and talk regularly, for the most part at least, at the very top - the ones who were involved at the beginning and see Joe as a human guy, very probably. This is also very true of Dementus' Biker Horde, who look and act like. . .bikers, plus thirty years. It really puts Joe's regime in it's specific place and context, which is great. This goes back to one of Miller's modern day motifs - mainly, that all of these self-styled religious messiah's are charlatans. At best.)

It also misrepresented just how big this film is - it's huge. Sweeping. Epic in the Classical sense. This is Miller doing David Lean, doing Charles Dickens and doing Homer, all at once - with a very Australian sensibility. It's not a sustained action sequence, like Fury Road, but very much an Odyssey, mythic as only a Master storyteller like Miller can do.

Can't wait for Friday .

9 Years of Longing...are over. Right of the theater and I'm still bedazzeled what I just saw.

Man, what can I say, it's awesome!!

Alyla Browne and Anya Taylor-Joy are both phenomenal as Furiosa. At some point Miller does a magic trick and I was asking myself, is this Anya or still Alyla I'm watching right now..? Hemsworth was great too and fun to watch as Dementus.

Grandiose pictures from the desert and the Wasteland. I cried tears of joy while witnessing the scenes at the Bullet Farm.

Folks, the ending is for the ages (...)

Can't wait to see it again

...and again...
