I've always wondered how many times onset Clint muttered "now they've got me being chased around by goddamned toys, fuck this I'm done with acting -- I'm a director now."<BR/><BR/>Road Warrior is one of my favorite movies, at one point in my life I watched it every other day -- with Mad Max making up the other days. The chases in Mad Max are brutally raw because they were made with so little money.Adam Rosshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11968051066147134504noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-907928872183762741.post-25174336995792328062007-04-29T12:29:00.000-07:002007-04-29T12:29:00.000-07:00Moviezzz,Saw your post and responded to it.That's ...Moviezzz,<BR/><BR/>Saw your post and responded to it.<BR/><BR/>That's why I love film baby.

I loved the inclusion of the lightcycle sequence from Tron, which just goes to show that wonderful direction and editing can make a sequence, despite having limited special effects ... it still works today.<BR/><BR/>Also, I LOVE Raising Arizona, and that chase is just wonderful.

Some day - I hope - they'll get the jokes and either think I'm a dork or a cool-ass dad.<BR/><BR/>And naturally, a frequent one of these is "Son, you've got a pantie on your head."Burbankedhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14060477901077195090noreply@blogger.com
