Yeah, I'm really worried that if they try for another movie they'll drop the ball and it'll be  . I'd rather just leave Fury Road as is, in all its shiny and chrome glory. I think it's a lightning-in-a-bottle film, especially considering how long it took to make it, and trying to repeat that probably won't work.

When I heard that they shifted filming to Namibia because the area around Broken Hill bloomed, I thought "why not just go to, like... any of Australia's many other deserts?" But if you fire up Google Earth and zoom in and start randomly clicking on those little blue Panoramio photos anywhere in the Outback, you realise there's virtually nowhere that's actually proper desolate wasteland - almost everywhere has some vegetation, even if it's just scrub. Doesn't quite have that irradiated apocalyptic feel that Namibia does. But I'm still annoyed that Hardy gave up on his Australian accent twenty minutes into the movie. edit - actually there was plenty of proper desert in Thunderdome which was filmed in South Australia, so what do I know freebooter fucked around with this message at 22:03 on Jan 12, 2016 |

Thunderdome was probably filmed in a season with little to no vegetation. They started filming in Broken Hill (the very beginning and end of the film, around Immortan Joe's Citadel and the Interceptor being ambushed in the first scene, were filmed there) but it suddenly started blooming and they had to move to get the movie done on time.

If we need more Mad Max media, I think it's better off in a format that is more doable for him, like an animated film.

Honestly wouldn't mind if a protégé of Miller did something different with a sequel. You can do countless stories with a premise like "the apocalypse's Paul Bunyan". And make it as different from Fury Road as Fury Road was from Road Warrior. "There's a guy named Max, he was a cop, now he travels the wasteland just surviving." From there you can insert whatever weird characters and situations you want. Just don't redo anything we've seen. No war boys, no Immortan, no Humungus. Just like James Bond. Keep the core elements of the story, and do your own thing from there. Of course this will never happen because the studio will want to just remake Fury Road with nothing changed and it will suck.

If you read the actual source material Miller just said he didn't want to make a huge complicated 25 year Fury Road 2.0 anymore, he just wants to make smaller films in general.

Honestly, Hardy's a passable Australian for the majority of it. Australian accents today are a little more laissez-faire than they used to be, to the point where I've heard them described as "lazy American". Not exactly a Crocodile Dundee thing. Furiosa is the only one who stands out.

Hardy never says enough words at one time to really notice what accent he is or isn't doing. I didn't have a problem with it.

david_a posted:As a Swede who has lived in the US long enough to have a perfectly native accent it's actually impossible for me to do a Swedish-English accent. The two languages are separate in my brain and I can't mix them - it takes me a second or two to switch which language I speak/understand/think. I've never heard Charlize speak with an SA accent but there are videos of her speaking Afrikaans, so maybe she's similar. Yea this makes a lot of sense actually. If she didn't really learn fluent English until she was already an actress, then she would have been trying to form an American accent right from the beginning. So she never had a time in her life where she spoke English with a SA accent. So it would be impossible for her to just do that accent on command unless she has specifically prepared and learned it.

My spouse used to speak Spanish well enough that he would get assigned by his work to head up projects down in Mexico. The locals informed him that he spoke Spanish very well but had a "surfer dude" accent. So yeah, accents are weird.

Nevada, Utah, and California have areas that rarely touched by moisture.

I feel like people need to state if they are from Australia before they complain about the accents  I don't really know anything about Australian but I have a feeling there are quite a few dialects given how spread out the country is. The Warrior Woman from Road Warrior sounds very British, for example.

The more obvious differences to foreigners are roughly class-based ones, with Steve Irwin's strine at one and, and Geoffrey Rush's quasi-RP British at the other (that link is great except it really mischaracterises Gillard's voice). Strine, incidentally, is how you pronounce "Australian" in Strine. Doctor Spaceman fucked around with this message at 04:20 on Jan 14, 2016 |

Back when I started driving, there were parts of the Dallas-Fort Worth metroplex that look like they were used in the first Mad Max. I remember when my friend was living in Sante Fe around the time they landed the Pathfinder on Mars, she remarked that it looked like NASA had landed the rover a couple blocks from where she worked. Also, a salt flat is a salt flat, regardless if it's in Australia or in Utah.

Doctor Spaceman posted:Less than you'd think, since European settlement is ~225 years old and for much of that time there were things like radio and television which helped to smooth out regional variation. Yeah, accents in Australia are these days really mostly a product of class and age. Your classic Strine accent is much more common in older and working class people and those who live further out from the capital cities, while younger and more middle class people from the city tend to have a much weaker and steadily more Americanised accent. Regional variations tend to be more related to word choice (peanut butter vs peanut paste, swimmers vs togs vs bathers, potato scallops vs whatever the gently caress you weirdos call them, etc) than any kind of noticeable accent. When I come Back Home to visit my parents in cattle country Shitsville population 300, Central/South-East Queensland, the change in accents of people around me is very striking to when I'm at uni in Brisbane.
