My fav is the charming story about how they marched around the city of Jericho for seven days blowing a trumpet. Then the walls fell down so the good guys could run in and slaughter every living thing inside. Men and women, young and old, even the animals. All put to death. Except for one prostitute.
Yay God!

saw the movie last night. i am a big fan of the books and the movie was a treat.
it's pg-13 so it's unable to be as scary as i would like and that's okay. i feel that the script people, director, and actors did a great job bringing the source material to the big screen.

I told Samson a light trim will suffice. Off the ears, tapered in the back. What an odd story that is. Hair? Really? Kryptonite would have been more believable. Like burning bushes and pillars of salt and an ark that holds two of every animal are believable? It is not aesthetically pleasing. As literature or as myth. As a fact, however, who can argue?

Saw Hobbs and Shaw. Absurd plot. No logical characters. Over-the-top action scenes...and great fun. I enjoyed it.

Watched The Reef.
One of the best shark movies I have ever seen. I think them being stranded in the middle of the ocean is what made it more terrfying because all they had was little rocks here and there.
Highly recommend it.

In the next few days, I'll be watching all the Mad Max movies -- Mad Max, The Road Warrior, Mad Max Beyond Thunderdome, and Mad Max Fury Road -- from the Mad Max: High Octane Collection DVD box set:

Mad Max Fury Road. Best movie of all time. Just amazingly well-made cinema.
They are all good, but Fury Road was the best made.

Telling a story with moving pictures. It's Fury Road. Says me.

Mad Max
Just watched the opening 30 minutes (or so) and I'm surprised it's not a Post-Apocalypse setting. Just your average modern day Australia. And Max is a highway patrol copper.

Best part is Miller went on to make the Babe movies. Also very good. And there are Mad Max elements to them.

It is an interesting story. The movie was originally not intended to be SF or apocalyptic at all. It was supposed to be a story about how exposure to violence and trauma desensitizes a man into becoming like the things he interacts with. But they didn't have the budget to shoot the movie in Melbourne, so they had to shoot out in the outskirts of town, using abandoned buildings as sets, etc. And from there, it started to make sense that rather than a story about a man's civility breaking down, the story became about society's civility breaking down. It was made not too long after the 1973 "oil shock", when it seemed like just a sharp decrease in the fuel supply was enough to make Western civilization fall apart. By the time they made the second movie, the 1979 oil shock had happened, and they decided the backstory from that was that a Middle East war had completely eliminated oil imports, causing a complete collapse of civilization. By the time they made the third movie, they decided that there had been a nuclear war at some point. But that was not at all part of the backstory for the first two movies.

I can see the lack of budget. LOL! So far, it's not a very good movie, but the action scenes are good, which is surprising given the era it was made in (1970s). I don't know for sure, but some of the camera angles seem new compared to other car chase scenes in other movies, e.g., showing just the tires and side of the car while driving.
