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

Saw furiosa last night, going to see it again in imax tonight. If this doesn’t win the Oscar for best sound, it’s a crime

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 🐧
