Seems strange at first glance. All those years removed from when the original films came out, or that overall apocalyptic craze of the '80s. But I guess no more so than the sporadic revivals of other intellectual, artistic, and sub-cultural phases of the past.
It was surprising how many Oscars the new Mad Max film by George Miller garnered this year. Maybe it's a retro-80's kind of thing, complete with the punk spiked dos, green hair, and body peircings. There was always something very dystopian about the punk craze. A reversion to wild barbarism against a landscape of Reagan era nuclear desolation.
