Empire: Hardt responds

[Justin Schwartz]

Here, Road Warrior is the story of how Max saves a sort of settlement of 
people with a truckload of petrol from an attack of punk bikers. Mad Max is 
the story of how Max got mad, with the assualt on his wife and child. I am 
fond of Road Warrior, but post-apocalytic scenarios appeal to my grim cst of 
mind.--jks
