Steven Soderbergh on George Miller's "Mad Max: Fury Road" (2015):

"Interviewer: You never storyboard?

Soderbergh: No. The ability to stage well is a skill and a talent that I value above almost everything else. And I say that because there are people who do it better than I’ll ever be able to do it after 40 years of active study. I just watched 'Mad Max: Fury Road' (2015) again last week, and I tell you I couldn’t direct 30 seconds of that. I’d put a gun in my mouth. I don’t understand how [George Miller] does that, I really don’t, and it’s my job to understand it. I don’t understand two things: I don’t understand how they’re not still shooting that film and I don’t understand how hundreds of people aren’t dead.

I could almost see that’s kind of possible until the polecat sequence, and then I give up. We are talking about the ability in three dimensions to break a sequence into a series of shots in which no matter how fast you’re cutting, you know where you are geographically. And each one is a real shot where a lot of things had to go right. I’m going to keep trying; I’m not going to keep trying in the sense that I’m going to volunteer to direct the next Mad Max movie. I’m going to keep trying in the sense that when I have sequences that demand a certain level of sophistication in terms of their visual staging, I’m going to try and watch the people who do it really well and see if I can climb inside their heads enough to think like that.

But he’s off the chart. I guarantee that the handful of people who are even in range of that, when they saw Fury Road, had blood squirting out of their eyes. The thing with George Miller, it’s not just that, he does everything really well. The scripts are great, the performances are great, the ideas are great. He’s exceptional. I met him once for about 30 seconds at the Directors Guild Awards in Los Angeles the year of Fury Road. But you don’t want to say that stuff to somebody’s face; it’s embarrassing."

(Steven Soderbergh's interview with Gavin J. Blair, The Hollywood Reporter, 2017)

P.S: On this day, 11 years ago, "Mad Max: Fury Road" (2015) premiered in Hollywood, California.

please get a library card even if you won’t use it because cities will look at library statistics and use that to decide to keep libraries open and properly funded

Honestly the 30-50 Feral Hogs tweet is the best tweet of all time. Initially met with general derision, the author was eventually vindicated and most of us (including myself) had to reassess how we perceived the world outside of our experience. Incredibly humbling, 10/10

The fact that the Dem House leader can't just condemn a clear violation of the UN Charter--unprovoked transborder aggression--is pathetic. After the midterms we need regime change in the Democratic Party. You suck, @RepJeffries.

just saying: it means a lot when people question the use of spotify and ultimately change their listening practices to get off of that app. thank you.

Kelly Reichardt: "The landscape, the lighting, or the music shouldn't dictate your emotion. I don't want to film a sunset. My mother always asked me, 'Are you happy?' And I answered that I don't know what she's talking about. I suppose that I have a fear of sentimentality."

D’Angelo’s Prince tribute was the only one that moved me to tears, the way he got choked up. He was truly his greatest musical son.
