I think I’m not alone in feeling I could listen to George Miller talk for hours, and thanks the Furiosa press tour I have.

  Yeah, i feel like fury road is more fun and furiosa was more serious, but i think that was done on purpose to make her story feel more dark

I love how Furiosa is very close to MadMax 2! Fury Road felt like a spin-off.

I really hope Furiosa gets nominated at the Golden Globe and Oscars for Best Director and Best Picture, and George Miller wins his 2nd & 3rd for Best Director & Producer after his 1st Oscar win for Best Animated Feature Film for Happy Feet 🐧
