I'd trade the fast and furious series for a pack of cigarettes and a sixer.
And I don't even smoke or drink
We can just throw the series away. No trade necessary.
I’d trade them for a swift slap on the ass
This person is the kind of person that would keep wishing on a monkey paw. The rest of Niell Blomkamp's movies have been not great, and a sequel would probably be so bad to make the original worse.
What the FUCK did you just say about Chappie???
Chappie was bad, and I say that as a Die Antwoord enjoyer.
I was Die Antwoord enjoyer until recently when I learned all the recent controversies they’ve been stirring up since at least 2013. It’s worth researching if you’re still riding off that old 2008 MySpace/OG Website high like I was.
damn. well, they weren't the classiest bunch, so im not surprised, but i am disappointed
I hate Die Antwoord, but Chappie is a good boy and shouldn't be lumped in with them!

Not great doesn't mean bad. I had fun with Gran Turismo
I would trade six monkey paws for Hollywood to stop being so risk averse
But that’s where all the rich people pour their money dude
WON’T SOMEONE THINK ABOUT THE RICH PEOPLE 😂
Privately owned studios should all be run at a loss as a point of pride among the wealthy. "Oh, you're funding a popular film? For profit? How embarrassing for you."
I raise you the complete Marvel trash heap and several individual "sequels" made in the last 5 or so years. Neill Blomkamp has so many ideas, literally dozens of teasers are on YouTube. Most of them are seriously awesome. Do we really have to wait until all the geriatric Hollywood dinosaurs are dead? And with then their talentless and greedy "protégés"?
I’d really like them to make a sequel to “The Matrix”
Me too buddy, me too.
You're not thinking this through. Bring the Krill into the F&F movies.
And they can all be a big happy FAMILY !!!
I was so excited for Elysium because I thought it would be the spiritual sequel.
Yeah and I feel its problem was on the writing and directing. The concept was there but you just didn’t care about characters. They should’ve made the first half a romance, and then the second half about vengeance/redemption.
And it was...pretty one-dimensional.
I feel like the "rich live in the sky, poor live on the wasted earth" was over the top. As opposed to S1 of Altered Carbon which was way better at addressing this trope. The meths were depraved, but you could kinda understand it
they've been alive for so long, but want to continue to "feel alive" through ever more extreme experiences.
This movie was okay, but I don’t really consider it to be sci-fi. It’s more a political drama.
If your sci fi isn't making some sort of social or political statement, its not sci fi - its just sparkling futurism.
... wow, "sparkling futurism" is the phrase I didn't know t needed, thx.
It classifies so much stuff perfectly!
Glad to be of service :D
Yeah, it's not a-political like real sci fi like Star Trek
How dare sci-fi explore political issues, like the tendency of humanity to resort to othering people that make them uncomfortable.
It can be both.
guess you're not family.
They are making a district 10.
There's been vague rumours for 15 years now. I'll believe it when I see it.
So I saw a blurb about this recently and it seems unfounded. Only 1 place was reporting anything and nowhere else online would corroborate it.
The last known news before that was the project is currently on hold for an unknown length of time. It may or may not get made. It's far from certain yet.
A sequel called District 10 has been written. About a year ago Neill Blomkamp said he’s unsure about making it now but believes it might be made in the future.
No thanks. I've seen the rest of his movies.
... wait... you guys wouldn't trade Fury & Fastest movies for free?
Turn back from family (and their 58 gear manual car transmissions) and return to space monke!
Just don't make it as awful as Chappie was. Damn, what a infuriatingly bad flick.
