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.

Literally killed someone by snapping their neck.
Man of steel was not dark. At all. In terms of the character or visuals. Dramatic? Yes. Clark didn't do anything "dark" in this film. Was Clark a more serious character, especially as a kid? Yes. Dark? No. Stop fixing the connotation of "dark" to man of steel just because you didn't like the realism.

It appears the crossover of Springsteen loving cricket followers who happen to be in Marseille today is modest. Who’d have thought? Retweets appreciated please:
So, odd one but… I find myself with a couple of Bruce Springsteen tickets to sell for tonight in Marseille. Anyone interested? £50 each. #springsteen

In case anyone thought Bruce Springsteen would back down after Donald Trump’s threats, last night he doubled down: “In my country, they're taking sadistic pleasure in the pain they inflict on loyal American workers. They're rolling back historic civil rights legislation that led to a more just society”

HOW WOKE POLITICS TOOK OVER GAMING Once upon a time, video games were about escapism, creativity, and fun. Now, they've been hijacked by the woke mind virus, turning them into preachy, sanctimonious vehicles for social justice propaganda. Gone are the days when you could just enjoy a game for its gameplay, story, or art. Now, every title feels obligated to serve up lectures on diversity, equity, and inclusion, whether you want it or not. Characters are no longer crafted for the narrative but shoehorned in to check off diversity boxes, often with all the subtlety of a sledgehammer. Remember when villains were just villains, not coded representations of societal ills? Now, every antagonist must embody some real-world prejudice, turning every narrative into a thinly veiled sermon rather than a story. And let's not forget the gamers themselves - accused of bigotry for merely preferring the classics or for daring to critique the new, forced inclusivity. The woke virus has sucked the joy out of gaming. Instead of innovation in gameplay or pushing the boundaries of graphics and storytelling, we're stuck with games that prioritize virtue signaling over creating memorable experiences. Developers are more concerned with their social media clout and review scores on inclusivity checklists than with the actual quality of their product. What was once an industry of passion has turned into a battleground for cultural politics, where fun is secondary to ideology. The saddest part? This isn't making games better; it's just making them bland, predictable, and joyless.
