I'd trade the fast and furious series for a pack of cigarettes and a sixer.

[-] EdibleFriend@lemmy.world 87 points 2 years ago

And I don't even smoke or drink

[-] Lucidlethargy@sh.itjust.works 7 points 2 years ago

We can just throw the series away. No trade necessary.

[-] thorbot@lemmy.world 6 points 2 years ago

I’d trade them for a swift slap on the ass

[-] Arsecroft@lemmy.sdf.org 76 points 2 years ago

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.

[-] Brunbrun6766@lemmy.world 54 points 2 years ago

What the FUCK did you just say about Chappie???

[-] Arsecroft@lemmy.sdf.org 41 points 2 years ago

Chappie was bad, and I say that as a Die Antwoord enjoyer.

[-] thesmokingman@programming.dev 44 points 2 years ago

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.

[-] Arsecroft@lemmy.sdf.org 34 points 2 years ago

damn. well, they weren't the classiest bunch, so im not surprised, but i am disappointed

[-] Brunbrun6766@lemmy.world 19 points 2 years ago

I hate Die Antwoord, but Chappie is a good boy and shouldn't be lumped in with them!

[-] prayer@sh.itjust.works 7 points 2 years ago

It was nothing original, just Short Circuit with guns

[-] JackLSauce@lemmy.world 4 points 2 years ago

Not great doesn't mean bad. I had fun with Gran Turismo

[-] Gradually_Adjusting@lemmy.world 45 points 2 years ago

I would trade six monkey paws for Hollywood to stop being so risk averse

[-] stevedidwhat_infosec@infosec.pub 13 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

But that’s where all the rich people pour their money dude

WON’T SOMEONE THINK ABOUT THE RICH PEOPLE 😂

[-] Gradually_Adjusting@lemmy.world 15 points 2 years ago

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"?

[-] TehWorld@lemmy.world 19 points 2 years ago

I’d really like them to make a sequel to “The Matrix”

[-] DahGangalang@infosec.pub 7 points 2 years ago

Me too buddy, me too.

You're not thinking this through. Bring the Krill into the F&F movies.

[-] Legend@lemmy.sdf.org 5 points 2 years ago

And they can all be a big happy FAMILY !!!

[-] qjkxbmwvz@startrek.website 18 points 2 years ago

I was so excited for Elysium because I thought it would be the spiritual sequel.

[-] CookieOfFortune@lemmy.world 7 points 2 years ago

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.

[-] qjkxbmwvz@startrek.website 4 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

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.

[-] apotheotic@beehaw.org 24 points 2 years ago

If your sci fi isn't making some sort of social or political statement, its not sci fi - its just sparkling futurism.

[-] Evil_Shrubbery@lemm.ee 4 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

... wow, "sparkling futurism" is the phrase I didn't know t needed, thx.
It classifies so much stuff perfectly!

[-] apotheotic@beehaw.org 3 points 2 years ago

Glad to be of service :D

[-] Semi_Hemi_Demigod@lemmy.world 16 points 2 years ago

Yeah, it's not a-political like real sci fi like Star Trek

[-] DragonTypeWyvern@literature.cafe 15 points 2 years ago

How dare sci-fi explore political issues, like the tendency of humanity to resort to othering people that make them uncomfortable.

[-] JoYo@lemmy.ml 11 points 2 years ago

guess you're not family.

[-] VelvetStorm@lemmy.world 9 points 2 years ago

They are making a district 10.

[-] Naich@lemmings.world 22 points 2 years ago

There's been vague rumours for 15 years now. I'll believe it when I see it.

[-] DogWater@lemmy.world 7 points 2 years ago

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.

Christopher Nolan disagrees.

Yes, google it, I was amazed too.

[-] Rambomst@lemmy.world 7 points 2 years ago

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.

[-] Bobmighty@lemmy.world 5 points 2 years ago

No thanks. I've seen the rest of his movies.

[-] Evil_Shrubbery@lemm.ee 4 points 2 years ago

... 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!

[-] t_berium@lemmy.world 4 points 2 years ago

Just don't make it as awful as Chappie was. Damn, what a infuriatingly bad flick.

[-] lil@lemy.lol 15 points 2 years ago

I liked Chappie, it was good
