Who contains the right level of pre-mixed internal vitriol combined with a deep and obsessive love for MAD MAX FURY ROAD that can pre-write the post Academy Awards night review, eviscerating the voters for overlooking MMFR in the voting?
We know it’s going to happen. None of the characters are dying of a terminal disease in MMFR while simultaneously heavily emoting and talking constantly about how they feel about it as it’s happening in front of our eyes.
Most of the older voters will not have seen the film and, those that did, will have missed 90% of what has been so awesomely illuminated here in these Tumblr posts. (Can we provide mandatory cliff notes?)
Like Hollywood obituaries, which often get written months in advance of any aging star’s death, I think the drafting of this outraged-post can be started now.
I just wanted to mention it, because someone here is going to watch the awards being handed out to some very obviously pretentious middle of the road films and their heads WILL…
OMG ROFLMAO aaa ha ha ha ha haaa! Damn Mister Chris, okay, I’ll start preparing my rant in advance :D
MEANWHILE? GET PRINTING ON THOSE MANDATORY CLIFF’S NOTES. bonehandledknife‘S FILM THEORY POSTS WILL BE VITAL - PRINT THEM ALLL!
LMAO UM WHAT BUT ALSO SURE GO AHEAD WITH THE PRINTING.
I don’t think I have the pre-mixed internal vitrol necessary though for the post-Academy awards review. Mostly I’m just rolling about in a ball of yay over this film. I *have* seen a larger cross-section of people love this film than I expected and hope that when the ‘voting’ DVDs arrive for the voters that they actually sit down and fucking watch the movie.
Because if they can understand film/visual language at all, that’s about all it should take.
But I suppose that’s being optimistic about people.
