Nine years ago, George Miller’s series of “Mad Max” films changed from a brutally entertaining dystopian fantasy, which it had been for three movies between 1979 and 1985, to a shockingly good (and yes, brutally entertaining) work of cinematic art capable of winning lots of awards. And since that transition began with the 2015 premiere of “Mad Max: Fury Road” at the Cannes Film Festival, it makes sense that the next installment in his epic series — which now gets the official designation of saga in its title, “Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga” – would premiere on Wednesday evening in Cannes.

Nope, not interested in this film at all. Theron was supposed to get a stand-alone film when old man Miller decided he wanted some young hot thang, and blindsided Theron. This is what makes me sick with men in Hollywood. Women are always too old, but men never are.

Did it ever occur to you that Theron was simply all booked up, or at 48 was too old to play a younger version of the character, or–gasp–simply decided she didn’t want to do another one? You have no idea what the casting process was like, so don’t go throwing around insulting theories without proof.
