Since I know there’s probably a fair amount of you out there who haven’t seen the first three Mad Max movies, I’m here to tell you a li’l secret about them:
All the people complaining about how Max “isn’t the main character” in Fury Road are big ol’ Fake Fanboys cause Max’s primary character trait in literally every movie is “I hate this, why is it happening, please leave me alone to brood in the desert in peace”.
He’s much more the central focus of the plot in the first movie but in Road Warrior and Thunder Dome he basically just gets kidnapped or beat up by wankers in weird bondage outfits and spends the rest of the movie trying to leave as soon as possible while other people are like “please solve our absurd post-apocalyptic problems”. There is not one single point where Max actively seeks out being a hero until it is forced upon him. He ACTIVELY TELLS PEOPLE WHO ASK HIM FOR HELP to take a hike.
Mad Max himself would like nothing better than to never, ever, ever be the main character.
He would also like for people to stop stealing his fucking car.

as tomorrow is september first id like to make sure everyone remembers not to make jokes about Wake Me Up When September Ends
to clarify if you don’t know:
-the song is about Billie Joe’s father’s death
-he has repeatedly requested that people leave it alone, and yet people persist in joking about it, including tweeting directly at him about it
-don’t be an asshole and make jokes about it
-September 1st is the perfect day to make hogwarts express jokes instead!

g'day! the first of many awards to come…
International Film Critics Vote ‘Mad Max: Fury Road’ Year’s Best Film
George Miller’s Mad Max: Fury Road is the surprise choice for best film of the year, as chosen by the International Federation of Film Critics (Fipresci).
Miller beat out the other three Fipresci finalists for the best film honor: Laszlo Nemes’ Son Of Saul, Hou Hsiao-hsien’s The Assassin and Jafar Panahi’s Taxi. The 2015 Fipresci best film award was selected from films which had their premiere after July 1, 2014. 493 Fipresci members – all international film critics - voted for the award.
“You could have knocked me over with a feather!,” said Miller in a statement. “It’s lovely to have this great cohort of critics acknowledge our collective labors in this way.”
Miller will receive the Fipresci Grand Prix at the San Sebastian film festival on Sept. 18, whereMad Max: Fury Road will also get a special gala screening.
Since its creation in 1999, the Fipresci Grand Prix has been awarded to such directors as Michael Haneke, Paul Thomas Anderson, Jean-Luc Godard and Pedro Almodovar. (hollywoodreporter.com)
