what Dave thinks about movies, books and everything
{5/5} “As the world fell, each of us in our own way was broken. It was hard to know who was more crazy: me or everyone else.” Mad Max: Fury Road, released in 2015 In a post-apocalyptic wasteland Max survives. He’s haunted by the memories of people he couldn’t save, and he’s chased by scavengers. […]
{4.5/5} “I’ll bet I’m late for work, he said to himself, slid from the bed, and tottered to a standing position with eyes shut, keeping himself from being sick. For all he knew he was several hours’ drive from his office; perhaps he was not even in the United States. However he was on Earth; […]

{5/5} “Obviously because whatever plans Equilibrium has, they deviate substantially from our own. What they are, I cannot even begin to tell you. All I know, Ambassador, is that I was used. My government was used. My planet was used. And now all of us are going to pay for it.” The End of All […]
Best of the best Amadeus Possibly not historically accurate, but lots of fun. Mozart is a genius composer but he’s not very good at holding onto his money — jealous rival Salieri takes advantage of both. Blade Runner Redefined the look of a SF movie, and full of big ideas. In 2019 Rick Deckard hunts […]

Directed by Stanley Kubrick. Dr. Strangelove One of the funniest movies ever made. An insane general orders planes with nuclear […]
