The small unit tactical trainer (SUTT) is under development for the Marine Corps by the Naval Air Warfare Center, Training Systems Division (NAWCTSD). It is a virtual world simulator for training Marine rifle squads in military operations in urban terrain (MOUT) clearing (Reece, 1996). The virtual world in the trainer is populated by computer-controlled hostiles (CCHs) developed by the Institute for Simulation and Training at the University of Central Florida. The CCHs behave as smart adversaries and evade and counterattack friendly forces. The key state variables include low-level facts (e.g., soldier position, heading, posture), situation knowledge (e.g., threats, current target), and the current task. Perception is based on simple visual and aural detection and identification of enemy forces. Situation awareness involves both visible and remembered threats.
Most of the activity is reflexive. The model has an action selection component based on hierarchical task decomposition, starting with top-level-tasks, e.g., engage enemy, seek cover, watch threat, look around, and run away. Situation dependent rules propose tasks to perform. Rule priorities allow specification of critical, normal, and default behavior. Tasks may be deliberately proposed with the same priority level, allowing random selection to choose a task according to predefined weights. This mechanism supports variation in behavior that obeys a prior probability distribution (e.g., probability of fight or flight reaction can be set for a CCH). A new task may be selected each time frame as the situation changes. Proposed, but not implemented, architecture extensions would allow the selection of tasks that would serve more than one top-level goal or task simultaneously. Other models under development as part of this program include one for visual detection and another for hearing (Reece and Kelly, 1996).
IFOR models have been created using the Soar architecture to model the combat behavior of fixed- and rotary-wing pilots in combat and reconnaissance missions. (Details on the Soar architecture are presented in Chapter 3.) IFORs are very large expert systems—they use encoded knowledge as a basis for action and problem solving. The Soar architecture was originally devised to support the study of human problem solving behavior. It incorporates many of the concepts of artificial intelligence, and its main feature is the use of production rules as the means to link an initial condition (a stimulus) to a particular response. Although Soar is capable of learning, this function has not been exercised.
To meet the objectives of simulating intelligent forces, specific contexts were needed. In the IFOR framework, adaptations for both fixed-wing attack (FWA)-Soar and rotary-wing attack (RWA)-Soar air operations were developed.

A St. Johnsbury woman who hit a police chief with her car during the Special Olympics torch run will not go to jail.
67-year-old Sandra Raynor pleaded no contest to careless and negligent operation in exchange for a one year deferred sentence.
In June police say Raynor didn't want to wait for the runners to pass and pulled into a Lyndon intersection -- grazing the knees of torch runner and Lyndonville Police Chief Jack Harris.
Raynor must perform community service and take a safe driving course. If she complies the conviction will be erased from her record.

|Urban Outfitter dress (on sale!), Target sandals, RayBan sunglasses
This holiday weekend wasn't overly packed with trips, traveling, or gatherings, but rather quiet mornings with candles and coffee, afternoons by the pool, and iced coffee outings. Since the weather definitely began to reach the into humid spectrum of temperatures, I decided to throw on a new chiffon maxi dress for a mid morning coffee run. There is something about walking around town while catching the slight breeze with a long skirt that I absolutely love. Since overly done hair and makeup sounds completely miserable to me in the hot months, this weekend's balmy days paired perfectly with a swipe of mascara, bronzer, and freshly washed hair (although it did turn in to a giant top knot piled on my head once the heat became unbearable). I can definitely see myself turning this dress into a summer morning staple, even if it's purely for it's spinning abilities.

Baggy fit and a powder skirt that comes below your butt keeps it steezy without the snow burn. Pockets and thumbstraps are dope. Hood is big enough for a helmet. Fabric is basically unrippable.

The truth about love (comes at 3 AM) (oneshot | 9587 | NC-17)
When the pack gets locked in at Derek's new loft during a snowstorm, they play 'truth or dare' to pass the time.
Truth or Dare (oneshot | 2,700 | PG-13)
When Stiles said, "Hey, let's play truth or dare," Derek swallowed the anticipation of pain and humiliation and said, "Okay."
Spin the Bottle (complete | 2,959 | R)
A pack party soon descends into a game of Spin the Bottle where first Jackson, then Erica, are surprised to discover just how good of a kisser Stiles is. When the game switches to Truth or Dare, Derek steps in to make Stiles an offer he hopes can't be refused.
Triple Dog Dare. (complete | 7,319 | R)
It started off pretty simple. Full moon meeting, not enough snacks, Derek being a douche. Ha, alliteration! Then Lydia had to put down her book and do that scary, smile with the eyes thing she was so good at. "Why don't we play a game?" This was either going to be awesome or they were all going to die as a result. Basically your average night with the pack.

What can we expect from the CCP's plenum session?
®Copyright MediaCorp
Top members of China's Communist Party are holding their last meeting today, ahead of a power transition next week.
The plenum, or plenary session, of the 17th Communist Party Central Committee will be held behind closed doors, and could last up to four days.
It will be closely watched for clues on next week's pivotal congress.
For more on what to expect at the plenum, and what this will mean for the once-in-a-decade congress, I spoke to elite chinese politics analyst Dr Bo Zhiyue.

TALLAHASSEE, Fla.-Consider what it would have been like if English students could have watched live as William Shakespeare composed "Romeo and Juliet" on the Internet.
Enchanted by the unique real-time global intimacy that the computer age provides, Pulitzer-Prize-winning author Robert Olen Butler is about to premiere worldwide something that has never been done before.
Beginning Oct. 30, viewers tuning in on the Internet or on television will be invited "Inside Creative Writing," to peer over a master's shoulder, keystroke for keystroke, as he creates an original story.
"My project, under the auspices of Florida State University, involves the sharing of a fully elaborated, moment-to-moment act of personal intimacy formerly found only behind the veil of private life, the act of creating a piece of literary fiction," Butler said.
The Francis Eppes Professor holding the Michael Shaara Chair in Creative Writing at FSU, Butler has published 11 books since 1981, including the short fiction volume Good Scent From A Strange Mountain, which won the 1993 Pulitzer Prize for Fiction. His short story "Fair Warning" won a 2001 National Magazine Award in Fiction and will be the basis for his new novel of the same name to be published by Atlantic Monthly Press in February 2002.
For his "Inside Creative Writing" project, he will begin with a simple concept for a story and, with no other preparation, will start writing at 9 p.m. (EST) for about 19 days, Sunday through Friday, allowing millions of students and would-be writers a golden opportunity to learn from every creative decision as it is happening. If he comments as he writes, they will hear it. At the close of each episode, he will answer questions e-mailed to him during the broadcast.
Internet users can access the program by going to www.fsu.edu on their browsers and clicking on the "Inside Creative Writing" icon. DishNetwork satellite television also will carry the program, which is being offered through Florida's Panhandle Area Education Consortium.
"The technology of the Internet is still relatively primitive, but the essentials are there to suggest the imminence of a whole new art form, a whole new way of articulating and comprehending the world," he said. "That art form will have its own unique characteristics."

HURT LOCKER'S Jeremy Renner... MAD MAX???!!!
Hey folks, Harry here - There have been a great deal of rumblings of this project gaining increasing momentum. The following is not decisive information, meaning Jeremy's reading and screen-testing for the part. That just means he's most likely one in a handful of names at this stage. Now - is Jeremy Renner fucking A you're right for MAD MAX? Yessirree!!! I would be genuinely excited if Renner nabbed the role. It'd be perfect frankly. Damn I love the idea of a MAD MAX movie starring Renner. What about all of you?
Hi Harry Found this interview whilst cruising the net. Jeremy Renner, star of The Hurt Locker, says he's screen-testing for a part in George Miller's Mad Max 4, which still appears to be set to start filming next Summer. What part he's testing for, he didn't say (damn). Anyway, here's the quote and link. "*Q:* What is next for you? *A:* I'm off to Boston on Aug. 19 for a film Ben Affleck is directing called "The Town." It's based on the novel "Prince of Thieves" about a group of career bank robbers. One of the robbers falls in love with a girl we rob. So it's a great crime thriller and romance. It's a lot of fun. I'm a robber. Ben will direct and star. It also has Rebecca Hall ("Vicky Cristina Barcelona"), Jon Hamm ("Mad Men"), and Blake Lively ("Gossip Girl") plays my sister. *I'm also fighting to do the new Mad Max film with George Miller. That might be next summer. I'm screen-testing and meeting George Miller."* ** ModBee.Com Biolumen

Sam Worthington Would Have Been Great For The Role, But...
by Media Messiah
..."Terminator: Salvation"...ripped-off much of the look, and even the climatic car chase, from "The Road Warrior". When I saw that, I knew Sam Worthington just lost the role for the lead in the new Mad Max film. Very sad, and unfortunate that this occured...thanks to McG. That said, hopefully, as suggested by me, and others here at AICN.com, perhaps George Miller will take our suggestions and make the new Mad Max the Feral Child from The Road Warrior all grown-up, who has now taken-up the mantle of Max...the drifting Road Warrior who taught him how to fight, by example.

Renner would be the 'Real World' mad max
by CENOBITE
Gibson was a bit 'pretty' when he first played Max. However, Renner was incredible in the Hurt Locker... and he has that rough personality that would make a great Mad Max. It could happen.
Aug. 1, 2009, 3:08 a.m. CST
Hurt Locker is my second favorite movie of the year so far.
by Rev. Slappy
I'm surprised it's taken this long for Renner to blow up after its success. Anthony Mackie was great in it, too. Mark Boal's script was a textbook on revealing character through behavior. Great, great movie.

Let's just keep remaking every fucking movie made over the last 40 fucking years. You know, I'm not even a fan of Mad Max but I am completely fucking sick and tired of reading about a new remake every motherfucking day and as far as I'm concerned it justifies downloading every piece of shit that the Hollywood trash factory puts out today. You want my money? Give me quality moves with some originality and you'll have my $10, if not, you don;t get one fucking cent.

It's true about the dubbed accents.
by Montag666
In the last edition DVD of Mad Max, they talk about how they dubbed the soundtrack with American accents because the American distributors thought no one would understand them. I know it sounds ridiculous, but it's totally true. It's in one of the docs from the last edition of Mad Max on DVD. And Renner gets my vote.
Aug. 1, 2009, 3:44 a.m. CST
by bueno_bob
Seems like there are a lot of people assuming he's auditioning FOR THE LEAD - in reality, he could be reading for anything, right? Doesn't have to be Max personally. Could be he'll get five minutes onscreen or so until some biker gang kills him or something. If that's the case, cool...if he's Max? Forget it!
Aug. 1, 2009, 3:50 a.m. CST
I'd rather see a real Mad Max 4 with Gibson.
by ev1ldead
If it has to be a remake i'd prefer Eric Bana, Sam Worthington or Bale...if he wasn't already in 20 franchises.
 Nothing against Renner but I don't think he has leading man quality. (Haven't seen Hurt Locker yet.)
Aug. 1, 2009, 3:51 a.m. CST
Any ideas
by GetEveryone
as to whether this is a straight up sequel or is it a reboot/reimagining/remake?
I'll back Renner for the lead, he's been consistently great in everything he's done and The Hurt Locker cemented him in leading man territory. Seriously, what a great turn.

Sounds Like We May Have A "Max"
by Rorschach1
He wouldn't likely say he's "fighting" for a role in any film given his recent performance's outstanding reviews, unless it were a major MAJOR role. soooo. more than likely, he will be vying for Mad Max, an antagonist, or a different but still vital role. All of that aside, looking forward to a new Mad Max. Mel had a chance, I say, not necessarily reboot, but start with a different story line that expands the road warrior world a little and gives a bit more plot. Maybe its just me. Seen a lot of straight-shooting action films advertised lately. I'd like to be surprised to find that MM4 has some meat on its bones.

He doesn't have the look...
by thedarklinglord
He may have the acting ability (hell, he's probably over-qualified there), but the look... I'd never in a million years buy it. I'm going to agree with either Eric Bana or Christian Bale, with a strong leaning toward Bana.

 Eric Bana's a fairly good looking guy, but he dirties up well. And when he moves from gentle to gruff, you can fucking well believe it, because not only does his voice take on a harsh, gritty edge, but he brings a physicality to it. He could sell the "mad" part of Mad Max.

 On the other hand, if they want the quiet, distant, emotionally dead version of Mad Max, then Bale would nail it. Hell, his performance in Terminator: Salvation would probably have fit better in Mad Max than it did in Terminator.

 Whatever they do, I think they should cast Mickey Rourke as the main bad guy.

Mel Gibson
by Mr. Graboid
As much as I want see more post-apocalyptic movies hitting our eyeballs, I really have no interest in watching a new Mad Max movie without Mel Gibson. It would be so cool to see an elder version of Mad Max living in a wasteland trying to survive. I love the idea of the Mad Max movies, but the old ones really havent aged that well, and a fourth or a new beginning would be more than welcome. Mel Gibson should direct though!
Aug. 1, 2009, 4:39 a.m. CST
Does Max HAVE to be the main character?
by brokentusk
Fuck, I'd love to see Mel play the character one more time, but that isn't going to happen. If they re-cast Max, most of us will be sitting through the entire film with a nagging feeling of "I wish it were Mel". Just make Max appear at the beginning or something and have the film focus on some other guy, problem solved.
Aug. 1, 2009, 4:57 a.m. CST

Mad Max 3:Beyond Thunderdome was shit!
by Cervantes
Between using the Tina Tina as the main villain(ess), and too many damded 'kid' moments, Miller really dropped the ball with that one. Turner's theme song and legs were neat, but was overall a big disappoint considering the movie that came before... MAD MAX 2:ROAD WARRIOR remains a timeless favourite of mine with tremendous elements overall. Great characters, great action, and great storytelling. That ending was perfection, and the way that the MAD MAX 'franchise' should have REMAINED ended! However, if Miller has to trot out another one, the ingredients for another above-average 'action-fest' are still there I guess. This Jeremy Renner's face kinda reminds me of that gnarly Daniel Craig look a little by the way. Not that that's a bad thing, just an observation. Would sure as hell miss Mel in some capacity though, if this turns out NOT to be a direct continuation from the third effort....

The Feral Kid looks like a miniature Ron Perlman. No way I'd believe him to grow up and look like Jeremy Renner or Eric Bana, but it is an interesting idea. I agree with others, Mad Max isn't the same without Mel. Even if it's just a cameo, Mel must be in it.

I love Mel in the Mad Max role, but he has clearly thrown in the towel on this role. The show must go on.

 Every time I see Renner he does a good, memorable job. So I'm happy to see his name in this context.

 HOWEVER, why not cast him as a different character in the same world? If there is a question of continuity, just have him visit one of the old locations like Bartertown and get a short history lesson from one of the characters from an earlier film. Or better yet, just trust the audience to accept a quality film that follows in the footsteps of the originals.

er why the fuck no MEL again??
by mr sulu
I cant believe MAX 4 didnt happen a few years ago what with all the other 80s action stars coming out for their belated 4th installment (Willis, Ford, Sly)...i mean wasnt it all ready to go with Miller directing again in 2001 or thereabout and without Gibson?? (blasphamous!!..if theres no Mel then theres no Mad Max 4 PERIOD!) then there was something about the war stopping it?
 i can understand Gibson not wanting to do another LW as hes already done his belated 4th LW 10 years ago (and that felt like a needless add on...no mullet either! that was as bad as no hair on McClane in DH 4.0...in fact wasnt it fast tracked into production cause Warners had a gap in their summer shedule due to Burtons Superman Lives falling through?)...but Mad Max 4 could have been amazing...funny thing is they tried to make him look older in Road Warrior and Thunderdome with grey hair etc...now he is actually older and beat up looking he dosnt wanna do it??
 Surely it can still happen...especially now the aging action man thing is in full flow with Sly & Co doing The Expendables..Mels not that old and while i know hes doing stuff like Edge of Darkness etc he really needs a big fat blockbuster to blast him back to the big time after that drinking episode (imagine being in a car in Malibu that night - pootling about doing 30 on your way home when suddenly MAD MAX roars past at 90 with the cops in hot pursuit!!)... a hard R rated Miller directed Mad Max 4 would blast him back - esp if its more Road Warrior than Thunderdome...(if they were adamant it had to be PG 13..like DH 4, AvP and possibly T4...there would be no point in having Mad Max with his balls cut off.)...oh and not much CGI..I would hope Miller would use CGI only when absolutely necessary (e.g. bringing the apocalyptic wastelands and ruined cities to life)..and NOT FOR ANY STUNTS!! stunts would have to be real...there'd be little point otherwise.
 i can see the trailer already... clips of Max from the previous 3 with voice over from MM2 (the grown up ferrel kid...'but most of all..I remember The Road Warrior...he lives now..only in my memories...'...then camara blasts onto a new interceptor (similar to opening MM2 shot) being pursued by battered old cop cars with sirens going...camara zooms in on Gibson at the wheel looking all of his 50 years with stubble and greying hair at the sides..looks p i s s e d off....then showy fast cuts showing stuff like the apocalyptic wastelands, ruined citys, huge gangs in cars and trucks blasting each other in the open highways, max in beat up black leathers blowing scum away with a sawn off..turns to camara and blasts it...dark...then titles come up:

by mr sulu
fuck dat shit...
 anyway i fully believe Mel doing Max 4 would wash away any controversey about that drinking thing...man it could even help at the BO...Mad Mel is back etc
 and if he REALLY knocked it out the park acting wise...
 ah man the thought of a Max 4 without Mel or doing a remake is just too depressing...
 jesus YOU CANT HAVE MAD MAX WITHOUT MEL DAMNIT!! itd be like if theyd made Dirty Harry 6 in the mid 90s without Eastwood....or Indy 4 without Harrison Ford, fucking hell this is depressing FUCK THIS!

by Buzz_Aldrin
See Indiana Jones, Terminator and so on. I can see Renner as Mad Max, he's a great actor, likeable, even a little gritty - perfect for the part. STILL: Mad Max is Mel Gibson, and that will be hard to forget. But who cares for people who saw the original movies anyway? This will be the Mad Max for a new generation! CGI Mechs! Iraq references! Funny ethnic sidekicks! Love Interest! BIG DOLLARS! DO IT NOW!!!!! ... I just had to throw up a little...

I'd Rather See An Old Mel Gibson As Curmodgeonly Max
by LaserPants
Maybe have him team up with a younger warrior of the wasteland -- preferably a young woman, maybe someone like the warrior girl from The Road Warrior / Mad Max 2. At the end, he would die, and the young apprentice would take over in his stead.

I Mean, I Know Gibson Is A NeoNazi Religious Nut Now, But Still
by LaserPants
He IS Mad Max. When I watch those films, I'm able to forget the fact that Gibson transformed into hateful, bigoted, maniac. I just see Max Rockatansky, a shelluva man, a burnt out, desolate man, a man haunted by the demons of his past, and it was here, in this blighted place, that he learned to live again.

That depends, is Mad Max supposed to be 5'4?
by Garbageman33
Saw Mr. Renner and the rest of his platoon after the premiere of 'The Hurt Locker' and the tallest one was maybe 5'6. Kinda hurt the movie for me a little bit. Kathryn Bigelow, on the other hand, is easily 6'. You can see why she makes such ballsy movies. I'm pretty sure she could kick my ass.

While i don't think as bad as you do about Mad Max 3, i do agree they dropped the ball and jumped the shark with that one. They tried to be cute and too family friendly with that movie. What i do like aboutt hat movie is that they keep playing on the myth aspect of Mad Max's personality and figure, and that at the end, he is still alone drifting away, after helping saving another group of people find a better future for themselves.

Still, as a sucessor of Mad Max 2, it's a poor effort.

I Take it Back. AICN Talkbackers ARE Funny
by cymbalta4thedevil
You guys bitch all the time when there's multiple postings about a film you don't like, ESPECIALLY if it's a sequel or remake. But any little scrap of info on this Mad Max movie and you all geek out like tween girls in a Twilight chat room.

We don't know WHICH part Renner is reading for, much less if he's going to get it. He could be up for Max. Or the antagonist. Or the antagonist's third henchman from the left. Actors shouldn't drop info like this into interviews unless they've already signed for a part. If someone else gets it because of scheduling or other reasons, he's going to look awful silly.

Perfect for Max? HELL TO THE NO!
by REVENGE_of_FETT
He's too much of a babyface. He just doesn't pack the "heft" needed for the role. I liked Mel's suggestion of Russell Crowe better, and I don't like Russell Crowe. Talk about a role custom made for Sam Worthington!

I'm a personal believer that nostalgic remakes need to offer some resemblance to the original or it'll piss off fans, unless it's brilliant. Having said that, I can see Jeremy Renner as a very possible sit-in for Gibson. It's not hard to make comparisons in their look and build, even though there are obvious differences. Imagine putting some big, tall, Scandinavian looking fucker like Dolph Lundgren in that role. Would it work as the original...maybe. Do you want to see it now after Gibson already did it? I don't. I like Renner for the role.

How To Get Mel Involved
by LaserPants
Tell him that it will be revealed that it was "all the Jews fault!" the apocalypse happened.

 Also, tell him there will be long, homoerotic, and violently fetishistic scenes of sweaty, bloodied, and diapered Jeebus, arching his back in the ecstasy of pleasurepain as greased Roman adonis' flog him and monstrous Jews hiss and drool like zombies around him. Oh wait, Mel already made that film -- The PASSion, aka The Worlds First Homoerotic S&M Faux-Snuff Godporn for Neo Nazis.
Aug. 1, 2009, 10:14 a.m. CST
by DonLogan
Not much of a stretch but this would be the best way to go for Mad Max, keep it Mel! Otherwise, Gerard Butler seems a nice fit. Not seen this Jeremy Renner in The Hurt Locker yet but he doesn't 'look' like Mad Max to me.

Fuuuuuuuuuuuuck this
by D.Vader
Harry, that's a terrible fucking idea. I'm not saying Renner's not a good actor, but just the idea of ANYONE else playing Mad Max leaves an extremely sour taste in my mouth. It'd be like recasting Indiana Jones- you just don't do it. Some think Indy should be like James Bond, and maybe they feel the same way about Mad Max. But not me. Renner's got kind of a babyface. I want an older Mel Gibson kicking ass, just like I want an older Schwarzenegger playing an older King Conan.
 Do something different and I'm just not interested, because then its made with a younger actor and becomes more or less just a remake instead of a real continuation.
 So, I stand by my initial remarks: If he's up for playing Mad Max? Then fuuuuuuuuuuuuck this.

I also haven't figured out why somebody hasn't aready dropped Russell Crowe's name...the guy is definately Australian...and he would be a natural fit into the Mad Max role...though if Jeremy Renner is looking into the role. Just please, PLEASE dont get Bale. For once I'm actually against Bale being in a film. Not because I think hes terrible, I think he's amazing, he's just flooded the market recently

No Mel No Max
by Noct
I have no interest in seeing Mad Max without Mel Gibson. No up and coming or already established star will do justice or make this work. I'm not opposed to more stories in that universe but I just can't accept another actor in that role. It's time for Mel to suck in that gut and put on the leathers.
Aug. 1, 2009, 4:27 p.m. CST
imagine how cool the 1st online pics of Mel in leathers would be
by mr sulu
like those of Ford in Indy 4 (when we all thought it was gonna be amazing - which it was)...or those of Arnold with the burning truck in T3 - ok no one liked the eventual movies but theres no denying EVERY mofo loved seeing those pics of an old action hero back in the saddel once again
 if Mel aint in MM4 - that great day of looking at the new pics in the office or in ur room wont happen

Mad Max is a dead franchise
by ominus
and the studio wont risk to revive with a big budget,especially if gibson is not interested.
its common practice nowadays,that the studios are just exploiting the name the old,once famous,franchises.
they only give a sufficient budget,they hire whoever is interested to revive the franchise,and then they just wait to see if the fanbase takes the bait and can make a decent profit from it.
thats whats all about,the name of a franchise,nothing more.

by The_Genteel_Gentile
I like and respect George Miller very much, but Gibson is a mad genius. I mean Gibson would have never directed such trite as The Witches of Eastwick, have you all actually seen that thing lately (?), it's pretty horrendous. I've never heard of someone trying so hard and failing so completely to be Joe Dante (except for Joe Dante himself, ouch!).

Once they stop chasing money and start thinking creatively perhaps? But I don't see that happening, as so much of our emphasis is on the almighty green back. Fuck you all!

Without Mel, It's Just Another "Doomsday"
by Acquanetta
Half the appeal of seeing a new Indiana Jones, Rambo, or Mad Max film is seeing the original actor back in the role. This current idea would be like John Carpenter finally giving fans a third Snake Plissken sequel...but without casting Kurt Russell. Max Rockatansky just isn't deep enough as a character for me to get excited over some new guy playing him. (Or rather, some new guy playing Mel Gibson from 30 years ago.) I want to see some actual growth occur, and see how the character has been changed by time.

Mad Max should be...
by The_Genteel_Gentile
a totally haggard Mel Gibson with a giant gray beard, sun damaged skin, ramblin' round the desert in a thread worn poncho, draggin' a canteen made out of a dog carcass behind him in the dust. And the movie could be about his regaining of a modicum of sanity and reassembling himself into the human race, and in the process becoming it's savior. I'm not making some weird thinly veiled joke about Gibson either, I just thing that would make for some compelling cinema. An old, crazy, bitter, world worn, recluse Max Rockatansky is far more interesting than some new young incarnation, and his journey to being at peace with his past is far more intriguing. I mean I always fantasized that's what would be at the heart of Fury Road when it was on the precipice of being made originally.

Mel Freaks- Give It Up..
by Rorschach1
HE WON'T COME BACK! Why would an actor who's made such a strange life between his various role-choice failures, unwarranted directorial stonings, and people's need to destroy the man's pride at every turn, return to a role he played when he was at his earliest career that hasn't aged well at all? Harrison could do it with Indy because Indy is iconic. Mad Max is at that awkward stage of memory for most, not very well appreciated by those that aren't hardcore fans. And don't bring up Lethal Weapon because its still not that highly praised by non-fans.

Ridley Scott's alien prequel is worth a damn!
by TheWaqman
Alien is far above Star Wars, yet everybody pissed their pants when George Lucas announced he was making prequels. Ridley Scott is more talented than him, and though he has hit a slightly rough streak. This could be epic. His last sci-fi film after all was Blade Runner. And the original Alien was a masterpiece.

by mr sulu
"Half the appeal of seeing a new Indiana Jones, Rambo, or Mad Max film is seeing the original actor back in the role."
 EXACTLY MY FRIEND EXACTLY!....in fact id even go further and say its closer to 75% (like if theyd made Dirty Harry 6 in the mid 90s with a new guy)....as u say a new Max would be like a new Snake...who the FUCK would care? - like that dead in the water Escape from NY remake that was mooted a couple of years back with either Ratner or Wiseman at the helm and Butler as Snake...WHO THE FUCK CARES ABOUT THAT? if they ever did another Escape movie it HAS to be Russel back as Snake or dont fuckin bother...the same with Max (Mad Max and 'Escape' are kinda similar franchises anyway - cut from the same cloth as it were)...
 the ONLY concession i would make to someone else taking over the series as the lead character is if Mel was in the movie as Max but heroically dies about half way through (so still a sizable role....NOT just a cameo..and not some lame death like Kirk) then his protégé takes over the lone road warrior role - obvious suggestion = grown up Feral Kid....

But of course it turns out Snake is as crazy as Max and they team up to destroy the last vestiges of civilization. I can see it now, a post-apocalyptic buddy-flick. You could so sell it to Kurt and Mel that way, they've been buddies since they made Tequila Sunrise.

You've talked a lot of shit on this TB, and most of it is fairly accurate or at least acceptable. But you think Eric Bana is the same level of badass as Crowe, or even badass at all?

Just the angry guy on the holo-screen. I don't know what the fuck you are talking about. Did you see The Hulk? That one where he gambles and flirts with drew barrymore? Eric Bana kinda sucks.

Ok i guess a way to do it WITHOUT Mel....(sorta)
by mr sulu
ok ive calmed down a little and thought this through abit....it almost makes me spit typing this as Max 4 SHOULD FUCKIN STAR GIBSON FOR THE WHOLE MOVIE (or at least half).....but....a way to do it sans Gibson would be just have someone as ANOTHER character (grown up ferel kid) and have The Road Warrior Max as a mystical mythical Cornel Kurtz/Taylor in Beneath Planet of the Apes type figure who the lead character goes in search of (after all, Max was a mystical figure to the feral kid in MM2) - finally finding him at the climax ...(cameo from Mel as a favour to george miller) - big action scene, Max is killed...touching scene of Max 'handing over the keys' to the new guy so there can be non Mel 'Road Warrior' sequels (they could even call the new film and any sequels 'The Road Warrior' - not Mad Max - as thats what Max Max 2 was aka by - esp in the USA)
 so really itd be using Mad Max 2 as a springboard - MM2 is obviously why the Mad Max series is so revered - lets face it - it aint cos of Thunderdome - and MM 1 is pretty hoaky...its 'The Road Warrior' that MAKES the fucking series like The Wrath of Khan makes the star trek movie series
 now i wouldnt be totally averse to see that PROVIDING they get Mel for the all important pay off - and so long as it was a great fucking movie - more The Road Warrior than Thunderdome
 the only other route for a non Mel Max 4 is boring remake/re-imagining BS and cast a younger dude as Max - PG13 no doubt - therefore ZERO interest from the fans...obviously bring in a few curious fans and teens to see the hot new non jew hating Max...- but for us mad max fans - a big SLAP IN THE FUCKIN' FACE - probably the biggest one yet actually as a least Indy 4 had Ford, AvP was in some way connected to the Alien/Predator series and had Bishop, same with T4...

Renner Is PERFECT Casting
by fassbinder79
While I thought Mackie gave the stronger (and more difficult performance - the best acting scene was Mackie's bit about being ready to have a son) in Hurt Locker Renner was FANTASTIC and he would not soil the legacy of Mel Gibson in the role if Miller were to cast him. I give this casting choice TWO BIG THUMBS up if that is the way GM chooses to go with the role. And I am a HUGE Mad Max/Road Warrior fan.

Hitler uses Einsteins theories in order to change the timeline for his benefit,because he knows that he has already lost WW2.
The experiment goes well,the new timeline is created but unfortunately for hitler,nazism and antisemitism have never occured in this new timeline.
Forward decades later,a jewish mad max tries to find personal salvation in a post-apocalyptic world.
Since its impossible to have Gibson in this timeline,a new actor is playing Mad Max.

 also, props to him for not shifting the blame on his dad for his problems. his dad might be the one who instilled crazy thoughts about the jews, but at least he didn't bring his old man into it.

They killed Ripley in Alien 3. Although she did come back using the magic of science fiction.

for sure Bana isn't close to as talented or badass as Crowe (not many people working today are). But watch "Chopper" if you think Bana is a little wuss boy.

This would be as bad as recasting Indiana Jones in my book. Indy 4 sucked, lets hope this one doesn't.

He didn't say he was PLAYING Max
by twogunjames
Maybe he's just reading for a role as one of the many scumbags in the wasteland. Y'know?

George Miller
by Munro Kelly
I like Jeremy for the role, if Mel wont do it, but I'm really happy that George Miller is directing. He hasn't made a film yet that I didn't like.

i knew jeremy renner had chops when i saw 'dahmer'
by electronegativity
it's about time the guy got his due; he's worth the risk for the backers of any production with a set of balls. i would be cool with it if he played a variation of mad max, or even a part in the next film. haha, and as badly as i want to see the hurt locker--i haven't yet...

Mel Gibson IS MAX ROCKANTASKY
by GordonFranklinTerrySr
Mad Max 4. Mad Max (mainly The Road Warrior) is to George Miller as Alien is to Ridley Scott. 2010 and 2011 will be "happening years" for us Old Heads with kids between 12 -14. MEL GIBSON IS MAX ROCKATANSKY, and Mel Gibson owes (almost) his entire Hollywood-life to George Miller (and Byron Kennedy) and the character of Max "MAD MAX" Rockatansky; Mel's human and it would be EXCELLENT if someone could ask Mel Gibson and George Miller to get together and include Mel Gibson as MAX ROCKATANSKY in Mad Max 4.

If Harrison Ford can still play Indy, Mel can still play Mad Max. Renner can be the sidekick, Shia Lebouf-type character.

Only Mel can be the Road Warrior.
by AmericanWerewolf
Mad Max has always held a special place in my heart and furry cranium. I always hoped for a sequel, but to date, it's only been murmurings. I can't imagine why they couldn't do another, with Mel in driver's seat as Max.

Mel Gibson
by SunTzu77
Isn't too old to play Max. He just needs some hair dye... a gym to work out... and if need be the computer program they used on Benjamin Button... to smooth out wrinkles as need be.... Lola Visual Effects.... I believe.

He is not an Aussie, he's a fine actor no arguments there, but he is not MAD MAX! I just hope Miller has him in mind for another role, otherwise he's gone fucking senile and shilled out to the Studio suits. There is only one Max, Mel ain't up for it but for me it has to be BANA. Failing that Sam Worthington, he can nail it fer sure.

Don't fucking disown OZ Miller, Max is a national institution. Casting a chubby faced American (however good an actor) will lose an army of MM fans.

WAUSAU, Wis. (WSAU) – One of the four people charged in a counterfeiting scheme in Wausau has made her initial appearance.
Bond was set yesterday for 29-year-old Christina Abbott. She'll have to pay the first $500 of a $2,000 signature bond in cash to get out of jail. She's charged with felony bail jumping and forgery. If convicted all four face fines of up to $100,000 and six-years in prison.
Police say the counterfeiters scanned real bills into a computer and then printed the fake ones. They were used at up to four garage sales in Wausau and one in Weston on Memorial day weekend. The other three people charged will have court dates next week.

Until now the only way to obtain
hot water was to invest in costly Solar Thermal. A typical Solar Thermal installation is in the region of £4800*, it
typically provides 60%* of the hot water for the house.
With the FIT rate decreasing
for new installations from 3rd March 2012 you can increase the return on your solar pv investment by using your Solar PV system to supply hot water..
SolarDivert 3000
works with all Solar PV systems and all hot water systems fitted with an immersion heater. The system automatically monitors
the electricity usage of the whole house. If the energy that is being produced by the solar PV is in excess of that currently
used by the house then the system will switch on the immersion heater. It will only ever power the immersion heater when there
is excess power that would have otherwise been exported.
3000 will only trigger when the excess energy from the house is in excess of that needed to power your immersion heater. If
SolarDivert is supplying power to your immersion heater and an appliance is powered on in the house, SolarDivert detects the
change and if it is the case that you will import electricity from the grid then SolarDivert will switch off the Immersion
SolarDivert 3000 is aimed at the domestic user who wishes to
reduce their energy consumption and bills. SolarDivert will automatically run your immersion heater at various power levels
dependent on the amount of energy being produced and consumed within the household.
The requirements for SolarDivert 3000 are as follows:
If you don't meet requirement one above. SolarDivert Lite may be the best solution for
you. Which only needs a suitable immersion heater as outlined above. Please see the Product pages for further details.
IMPORTANT: Please note that SolarDivert does not use cable
clamps to detect energy generated / household usage as products using these devices may be in breach of the EMMA patent. Details

Works pretty well
posted 5 years ago
If you don't want to brush your dog's teeth, this is the best way to go. I was told it would take a few months to really notice results, but it does work pretty well. A tiny amount is mixed into the food--very easy. It has worked better on one one of my dogs than the other.
Pros: Easy to feed
Cons: Takes a few months for results

I love the purple background and multicolored windows.
What you need:
Purple, black and assorted colored construction paper. I prepared the paper by cutting the black paper into various sizes of rectangle for the skyscrapers. I cut the colored paper into assorted sizes of squares and triangles.
STEP ONE: Glue down the black rectangles onto the purple paper.
Create a skyline.
Fill the page to create the skyline.
STEP TWO: Add windows. Add a few tops (just a couple - not too many!).
STEP THREE: With a crayon, add any desired details.
STEP FOUR: Add touches of gold paint with a paint pen.
A view of our display.
