Snowpiercer Smackdown : Tail Section vs. Front Section Side note: I just learned that the film distributor of "Snowpiercer" for the Philippines is NOT going to be The Weinstein Company, but rather Parkit Films--who will also be handling the release of director Bong Joon-Ho's visionary dystopian sci-fi epic in Malaysia. Which basically means I will definitely be seeing the ORIGINAL UNEDITED VERSION of "Snowpiercer" as opposed to the potential Harvey Scissorhands cut which will likely be serviced to the US, UK, and other English-speaking territories. Excuse me while I proceed to uncontrollably shake and cry with joy at this bit of good news.

Mad Max: Fury Road + Texts From Last Night [#001]

A collection of upbeat party songs in honor of Imperator Furiosa, the Wives, the Vuvalini, Nux, and Max Rockatansky freeing the Wretched of the Citadel from the rule of Immortan Joe.

Angharad (/əŋˈhɑrəd/; Welsh pronunciation: [aˈŋ̊arad]) is a Welsh name, having a long association with Welsh royalty, history, and myth. It translates to English as “much loved one”.

Continuing my series of Mad Max: Fury Road playlists, here’s another character-based one inspired by the beautiful and courageous leader of the Five Wives: the Splendid Angharad.

Here’s another Mad Max: Fury Road-inspired playlist that I curated and was inspired by the Five Wives and Nux: the beautiful young adults inhabiting the unforgiving world of the Wasteland.

“Dag” is an Australian and New Zealand slang term. It is often used as an affectionate insult for someone who is, or is perceived to be, unfashionable, lacking self-consciousness about their appearance and/or with poor social skills yet affable and amusing; it is also used to describe an amusing, quirky and likeable person and is non-pejorative.

A dag may, for example, choose to wear textures that feel nice regardless of how they look or wear something they have become attached to even if it’s old and worn out. Similarly, dags may wear hair and clothing styles they enjoy even where these are considered unfashionable or ridiculous.

Dags are considered amusing just by being themselves and attract feelings of either embarrassment or endearment from others. The tendency of dags to stick with what they like regardless of the opinions or pressures from others wins respect from some but pity, scorn, or bullying from others for the same reasons.

Here’s another one of my Mad Max: Fury Road series of mixtapes that I curated and is inspired by my absolute favorite of the Five Wives, namely, The Dag.

ca·pa·ble /ˈkāpəb(ə)l/ adjective

2. able to achieve efficiently whatever one has to do; competent.

Here’s another Mad Max: Fury Road mixtape I compiled, and the third one based on the Five Wives following the ones I made for the Dag and the Splendid Angharad. I present to you a playlist of songs that is inspired by the awesome character of Capable.

know·ing /ˈnōiNG/ adjective

1. showing or suggesting that one has knowledge or awareness that is secret or known to only a few people.

2. done in full awareness or consciousness.

Here's another Mad Max: Fury Road character-based mixtape that I crafted and is the fourth in my series on the Five Wives, where this time around, the collection of tracks is inspired by Toast the Knowing.

frag·ile /ˈfrajəl,ˈfraˌjīl/ adjective

1. (of an object) easily broken or damaged; flimsy or insubstantial; easily destroyed.

2. (of a person) not strong or sturdy; delicate and vulnerable.

And finally... completing my mixtape series on the Five Wives of Mad Max: Fury Road is a collection of songs inspired by the youngest of the Wives, namely, Cheedo the Fragile.

par·al·lel /ˈperəˌlel/ adjective · noun · verb

1. (as adjective) occurring or existing at the same time or in a similar way.

2. (as noun) a person or thing that is similar or analogous to another.

3. (as verb) be similar or corresponding to something.

So of course, I had to create a mixtape inspired by the totally adorable but star-crossed Mad Max: Fury Road ship that is Nuxable (that's Nux and Capable to you). This collection of songs feature male/female duets of various music genres that go from epic rock ballads and musical show tunes to sexy hip-hop jams and sweet indie pop.
