The nephew's been on a post-apocalypse kick following last week's Carpenter/Russell twofer with Escape From New York and The Thing, and he's big into zombies (in movies, TV and video games), so what was better than showing him the grandfather of the entire zombie subgenre? He loved the kinetic thrills and nasty, tight revenge plotting of Mad Max (as well as seeing Mel Gibson looking so young and fresh, considering how grizzled he appears today), and liked seeing how Night pretty much established every zombie cliché you can possible think of, although he was rather distressed at the bleak, hopeless finale ("Oh come on...!"). It blew his mind when I told him after Max that the other movie franchise George Miller is most remembered for are the Babe movies (and the crazy, underrated Pig In The City is basically a G-rated Max movie with animals).
Anyways, continuing both franchises next week with the second (and superior) sequels, The Road Warrior and Dawn Of The Dead. Can't wait!
