From a story on the new Mad Max: Furiosa movie...

Hulme was initially cast in Furiosa as Rizzdale Pell, a one-eyed, terrifying-looking henchman to Chris Hemsworth’s power-hungry, villainous warlord Dementus. As is Miller’s wont, he encouraged all his actors to come up with a backstory for the characters and why they do the wicked things they do in the violent, irradiated Wasteland, where life is cheap and guns and ammo rule. Hulme says somewhat proudly that his backstory was so vile that he’s loathe to recount it, but when he shared it with his cast mates during pre-production in Sydney, it was met with stunned silence.

“After I finished, Dr George just goes ‘did you deliberately want to come up with the sickest backstory of any character in the history of the universe’,” he says. “And I went ‘yep’.”

Wonder where the name for that character came up?

Years, I tell you years I have spent seeing these things and wondering how on earth they expect kids to climb up or down a step ladder with a sloped step, so I always thought of them as dangerous and stupid step ladders, I have had a revelation and it appears all along I was wrong, they aren't dangerous and stupid step ladders, they are dangerous and stupid slides!

I didn't know this was a thing; a mobile phone tower (presumably) "disguised" as a tree?!



It caught my eye during an early morning today walk down the Saddleback Mountain Road near Kiama.
