who knew vidding a movie would be so difficult.?.oh well.i tried :)
this movie is absolutely sensational and this ship=holy grail of all ships <3 i felt the first part of song fit furiosa and the second one with max..so umm..i hope some maxiosa/mad max fans like this video :)
Fully loaded. You’re more than welcome to come with us.
Okay I have writing promises to keep but I need to scream about this for JUST ONE MOMENT. (okay no first tho, ‘you’re more than welcome’ oh god what Furiosa what, what’s coming out of your mouth, do you realize Furiosa has like 100 lines in this movie, she uses short sentences, she doesn’t waste words. what is she. what is falling out of her mouth.)
And this bike tho.
Check out his bike.
Look at all the fabric on it. That’s not fabric scavenged from War Boys. That’s Vuvalini fabric. All except his new neck scarf, which the costuming behind the scenes notes indicate is a status symbol among War Boys. And he doesn’t appear to have it the night before despite the chillyness.
It’s the same fabric. Did she seriously just promote him secretly? Like, oh hey, here’s this scarf, you’ll probably find it useful. (oh hey, here’s this medal of honor, I think you can make use of the pin. oh hey, here’s this cop car, you should drive it. Oh hey wear this doctor’s lab coat… YOU JUST DON’T DO THAT.) Just imagine Max going back to the Citadel and the War Boys automatically calling him Imperator and his deeply deeply confused face.
But back to the bikes, even more, compare:
Nux and Capable in the back, then a trailer, then two bikes, another half-full trailer with a vuvalini riding it, then a bunched up group in front:
Now Max is the lead bike, Furiosa’s bike doesn’t have any gear on it.
For the most part there’s maybe half the amount of stuff on their bikes as that which’ve been crammed onto Max’s. Even taking into account the the amount that’s been crammed onto the trailers, you have to admit that Max’s bike is more than just “fully loaded”, if we assume a fully-loaded bike is the average bike you see here.
Now I just want you to imagine Max’s awkward face as the Vuvalini all try to press things into his hands and giving him head daps and Furiosa not even looking because she tried yesterday, dammit, and he already told her no and she’s busy checking things over kthxbye.
I really love that her prosthetic was off for this. Here we are in this world where most action movies just can’t manage to shake the idea that men are always stronger unless circumstances give the woman an exceptional advantage…
…and here we have Max with a gun in his hand legit struggling to overpower a one-armed woman.
Secretly? I really love when the water from the hose splashes the camera lens. I do not know why.
It reminds me of the splatter from the blood pack that “ruined” the take in the battle scene at the end of Children of Men, and Lubezki convincing Cuarón to leave it in. Because on one level, yes, it calls attention to the fact that there’s a camera and lens there, which you’d think would break the illusion. But it’s so much more complicated than that.
We know there’s a lens there. We know it’s an illusion. But our ridiculous brains have been pretending stories are real for as long as we’ve had stories – really, for as long as we’ve had brains. That’s what brains do.
We sat around the campfire listening and watching, and when the storyteller moved her hands and made the sound of the wind we entered into that moment and were moved to tears. It’s not about realism. It’s about authenticity. Not the technical quality of the illusion, but the integrity and sincerity of the telling. That’s where the power comes from.
Perhaps one of the best and most recognized painters of the nineteenth century, John Everett Millais (1829-1896) was a Pre-Raphaelite portrait, genre, and narrative/historical painter and illustrator. Here, we have eight of his portraits – many of them late works:
Portrait of Kate Perugini (daughter of Charles Dickens) – (1880) [Sotheby’s/private]
The sixth gif is pretty much the entirety of that scene. It’s so quick, so “blink and you’ll miss it” that I missed it the first three times I saw the movie.
She never looks up when she’s thinking. When she’s telling Max about her past, she’s looking straight ahead, or to the side. When she’s telling Max about the salt she’s looking at the salt. When Max is telling her to go back to the Citadel she’s looking past him, and when she decides she looks up at him and clasps his hand.
Aw, look! Tumblr is celebrating! (somebody with more skills should make a gif of it actually)
I did earlier, and posted it, along with a really bad dad pun about Rainbow Dash (the My Little Pony character). But then I felt bad about adding to the world’s surplus of bad dad jokes, so I deleted it.
i am a serious fan who makes serious gifs of serious source material
I don’t understand how I can not ship it and still want them to kiss here. I blame Nicholas Hoult. I’ve noticed he’s often photographed looking at people, male and female, like he’s about to kiss them or he’s thinking about kissing them.
Also, I just realized that Nux not taking his eyes off Slit for a millisecond like that may mean that Slit has a history of fighting dirty and attacking people when their backs are returned or they thought a fight was over.
Josh “Slit” Helman did a brief AMA today. He offers a few Fury Road insights, like that his wallowing on the Interceptor hood was improvised and that he loves George, who is a “teddy bear,” but almost all of his replies are pretty comical, Max-related or otherwise.
Well I am glad I stayed up til half one AGAIN to see this cross my dash. Slit, u asshole :D
LET ME FURTHER ELABORATE ON THE HILARITY OF THE BEST AMERICAN POLITICAL PRACTICE TO EXIST, “THE ANNUAL RUNNING OF THE INTERNS”:
RECORDINGS ARE NOT ALLOWED INSIDE THE U.S. SUPREME COURT. SO WHEN A DECISION IS MADE, COPIES ARE HANDED TO MEMBERS OF THE PRESS INSIDE THE BUILDING IN A PRESS ROOM WHO THEN LEAVE THEIR ROOM TO HAND THE COPIES OF THE RULING TO THEIR INTERNS (WHO AREN’T ALLOWED INSIDE THE PRESS ROOM)
(PICTURED: INTERNS FROM 2013, WAITING FOR THEIR RUN)
AND THEN THE INTERNS HAVE TO DELIVER THE COURT RULINGS WHILE THE JUSTICES ARE ANNOUNCING THEIR DECISION INSIDE THE COURTROOM ITSELF.
SO THE INTERNS RUN THROUGH THE SUPREME COURT BUILDING FROM OUTSIDE THE PRESS ROOM TO OUTSIDE, ACROSS THE PAVED WALKWAYS, AND DOWN THE STAIRS OF THE COURTHOUSE AREA INTO THE BROADCASTING PRESS PEN IN THE STREET.
(A PREVIOUS YEAR’S INTERN RUN WINNER)
INTERNS ARE TOLD THEY MAY TO THROW SOME ELBOWS IF NECESSARY.
AND ALL ARE RACING TO BE THE FIRST TO DELIVER THE COURT RULINGS TO THEIR RESPECTIVE BROADCASTERS WHO ARE WAITING TO GO ON AIR
PICTURED IN FRONT IS YESTERDAY’S INTERN WINNER LAUREN WHO SAID SHE “JUST LIKED TO WIN” WHEN SHE PULLED CLEAR AHEAD TO DELIVER THE OBAMACARE RELATED DECISION.
And then there was Gilda, who was the sweetest, kindest, funniest person. She was so happy on-camera, she had such a happy face on-camera, you really did grow to love her. You understand what it means when people say they “love” a performer, because they’re bringing such happiness into their world. – Steve Martin
