SOAPBOX: Gallipoli + Prometheus: Best Works of Art in History

[Dachs]

Except it contained possibly the worst plot device in cinema history. Our hero gets saved from being sacrificed at the altar by, check this, a solar frigging eclipse.

I mean Jesus, getting saved by an eclipse is ridiculous enough, but solar? They're very rare.

Gibson stole it from Hergé.

We are now enemies. Thous shalt not dishonor the Gibson!

EDIT: @Dachs, that's fair. Still, sci fi is his wheelhouse (or he seems to enjoy it the most) and I don't think it is beyond the realm of possibility that this was his intention.

Really? I thought he had done like one or two sci fi flicks and then abandoned the genre.

All his good work was when he was Aussie.

 

[hobbsyoyo]

Such as Gallipoli?

 

[rugbyLEAGUEfan]

You got me damn you.

I meant Mad bloody Max. The original only though, not that stupid thing with Tina Turner.

 

[hobbsyoyo]

Um Tina Turner is a goddess and everything she touches is golden, including Beyond Thunderdome or whatever it was called.

 

[rugbyLEAGUEfan]

Best thing Tina ever did is the adds for the Australian Rugby league

Not many people have seen the original.

Spoiler :

Confusion with no 2

 

[hobbsyoyo]

I have seen Mad Max, Road Warrior and that third one.

All were spectactular movies of the 1st degree.

 

[Silurian]

Max Rockatansky was in the police in the first one.
You need to see it to understand no 2.

"Hi, this is Ridley Scott. I did a prequel to Alien that was really just Alien remade. I rule."

Regarding Battlefield Earth... THEY STOPPED HALFWAY THROUGH THE DAMNED BOOK! Also butchered the first half that they did make.

 

[Bugfatty300]

Mad Max.

Was 1980s Australia really that F-ed up?

It`s set in a post apocalyptic future.

 

[Borachio]

Was 1980s Australia really that F-ed up?

I suspect, was a joke.
