Tonight's flickering screen fantasy was Mad Max (1979), another film that people have been assuming I'd seen for years, but which I hadn't until now. TBH I only watched it because I've got Mad Max: Fury Road in the pipeline, and figured I should watch the original first.
I wasn't that impressed. The story seemed to meander a bit and was quite slow at times, and they were clearly a bit low on budget for the dystopian future they wanted to show. I can see why all the people I knew who raved about it in the 1980s were bikers![Roll Eyes (Sarcastic)](https://forums.contractoruk.com/core/images/smilies/rolleyes.png)
And then the penultimate episode of Jordskott (S1), which is now so weird that {SPOILER} it's not even weird to learn that the Swedish government's national security services have a cadre devoted to ensuring the protection of non-human people such as woodland sprites![Freaky](https://forums.contractoruk.com/core/images/smilies/extras/2.gif)
In fact, I wouldn't be too surprised to learn that's actually true. (I definitely wouldn't be surprised to learn it was true about the Icelandic government, but they're more open about these things.) {END SPOILER}
Goodnight all
