@DiscussingFilm Not a poster for the characters in the film. Just a promo image announcing the eventual film has a release date.

@_roccosv But it’s such a fun film.

George Miller handed 480 hours of Mad Max footage to an editor whose credits were Happy Feet and Babe: Pig in the City. She had never cut an action film in her life. She was also his wife.

When Margaret Sixel asked why he wanted her, Miller said if a guy did it, it would look like every other action movie.

It took her three months just to watch the footage.

Then two years to cut it. Ten hours a day, six days a week, much of it while raising two teenagers alone because her husband was in the Namibian desert shooting for months at a time. The finished film runs 120 minutes and contains 2,700 cuts. The Road Warrior, the most celebrated action film of the 80s, had 1,200.

Cutting that fast usually turns action into blur. Miller solved it before she ever sat down, composing nearly every shot with the key detail dead center of frame. Your eye never has to hunt. Sixel could cut every 1.5 seconds and your brain kept up, which is why Fury Road feels fast where other action films feel like noise.

She won the Oscar for Best Editing. The only action film she ever cut.

And Miller was right about the guy thing. An action editor inherits the genre's reflexes. Sixel had none, so every one of those 2,700 decisions got made from scratch.

@swolecinephile @CrazeCave He’s much more suited for Magneto than Wolverine given the ages of the other announced cast.

@TheCinesthetic Final Space.

Although, Olan Rogers just released a graphic novel, after years of hard work, which wraps up the show.

The landing of X-Force was unexpected.

Name What’s the most shocking death scene you’ve seen.

@TheCineprism I’ve seen Spider-Man: Brand New Day twice now.

What was Peter’s job? How did he pay rent? Was he just living off of the death benefit from his parents, Ben and May?

[Keith @moneyjnr]

The comic accuracy from Brand New Day is out the roof 🔥

Look, I'm still not the kind of priest to say things like "they're putting demons in the robots," but the chainsaw-wielding black drones with eyeball horns are making it harder to argue my case

The chances of a rabbit kicking you off your scooter are incredibly low… but never zero 😭

Neil deGrasse Tyson: “There’s an intellectual scientific vacuum that is descending upon the US and that has consequences. If you’re okay with the US losing its scientific leadership, you will get the country you voted for. That country is one where we will no longer innovate. We will be less secure, less healthy, and less wealthy because some community of people who influence what this country is do not see the value of science”

@imohumoren Would totally watch this.

@Variety She went so hard I thought this was from The Onion.

@CultureCrave @etnow He is the best part of those films. He deserves what he earned from them.

[Jonathan Fallert @JonathanFallert]

The first film is always near the top of the lists of deserving sequels. I sure hope we get another one to bring in all the new fans from it’s life on streaming.

[Culture Crave 🍿 @CultureCrave]

‘Dungeons & Dragons: Honor Among Thieves’ directors reveal that a script for a sequel was written

“We were hired to write it. I don't know that it will see the light of day for a number of financial reasons"

"They’re expensive movies to make, but it’d be great fun to do it ... we think we wrote something that fans would like"

@Wario64 This is great, but WHERE IS BLADE?
