ALPHA17 Posted July 25, 2013 Report Share Posted July 25, 2013 (edited) I haven't seen them either but what do they have to do with Elysium? Once the Neill Blomkamp show starts you cannot wait. I never saw District 9 on a large screen, I don't want to make the same mistake with this one. And if Elysium is a commercial-critical hit, then they all are in the same stripe. Aplocalypse Now is the best mindf**k movie IMO. Marlon Brando and Martin Sheen Have you read the book on which the film is based or at-least thematically drawn from, Heart of Darkness?

LaZyVigiLaNtE Posted July 25, 2013 Report Share Posted July 25, 2013 Some films that I would like to see on the list, Pi -- Darren Aronofsky Requiem for a Dream -- Darren Aronofsky Apocalypse Now -- Francis Ford Coppola A Clockwork Orange -- Stanley Kubrick Dr. Strangelove... How I came to Love the Bomb -- Stanley Kubrick Lord of War -- As straight a story can be, worth a watch just because of the opening sequence No Man's Land -- Danis Tanović's debut masterpiece Hope you enjoy, Cheerio! I don't know if they belong to the list but some of them are gems. Requiem for a dream is one sick puppy. Pi always eluded me, gonna watch it one of these days. Clockwork's good (a wee bit overrated?) Apocalypse now?..Check. Lord of war is cool. Strangelove and No man's land...yet to see. Friends recommended those two but I've delayed.

Seen the short that District 9 is based on? Waiting for the sequel (District 10?). Hope Christopher brings back an armada with him this time. Elysium also seems to be promising.

Friends recommended those two but I've delayed. Do check out the clip I gave you, it is a short film and no dialogues but heavy stuff. Pi is good if not better in some terms w.r.t. his more widely known follow ups, although he has not lost his craft, Pi is the project that kicked it all of. Requiem is something I relate to a lot and the music is amazing. I refused to see The Orange for at-least three-four times before I finally sat through it, I don't know about over-rated but punchy stuff. It is a film that I cannot handle very well and don't keep on me. Strangelove is one of the best films from Kubrick and solid gallows humour, it has a black streak but you never get bored or feel poignant (even after all the topics are deadly serious). No Man's Land is in Bosnian if I am not wrong but another really good film with inflection of very cruel humour. Hell yeah! Blomkamp is the man I'm most excited for this gen. Seen the short that District 9 is based on? Waiting for the sequel (District 10?). Hope Christopher brings back an armada with him this time. I don't want any follow up to District 9, leave it ambiguous, otherwise no sting to the end. But I think the creator has the best pulse of his creation.

meaNmachine Posted July 25, 2013 Report Share Posted July 25, 2013 Have you read the book on which the film is based or at-least thematically drawn from, Heart of Darkness? Not yet Have heard a lot about the book, I know the movie is based on Heart of Darkness. BTW Alpha, there are two versions of Apocalpse Now. The original and the Redux version (3 hours long). Have you seen both? Read somewhere that the ending in the Redux version is little different (better). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

District 10 is a sequel I look forward to not to have closure or have questions answered but cuz I'm excited at the possibilities that D9 left us with. I'm excited at the prospect of the plot moving forward from here on now. It deserves a fitting end and D9 is not that end, as good as it was/is. I love open-ended films as much as the next guy but I do yearn for a D9 sequel. An Inception sequel, No. District 9?...Yes! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And the love and appreciation was totally unexpected. Make a sequel and the story loses all charm, making it yet another aliens vs marines clone.

dylanjosh Posted July 26, 2013 Report Share Posted July 26, 2013 Yes I agree on the District 9 thing. There's a part of me that does what to see those characters again, but I think it's best that they dont do it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Heaven Angel Posted July 26, 2013 Report Share Posted July 26, 2013 Ryan Gosling 'Star Wars' Rumor 'Not True' According To Representatives A new report about Ryan Gosling meeting with J.J. Abrams and Lucasfilm to discuss “Star Wars: Episode VII” has been denied by the stars representatives. GOOD! __ Gravity http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uuMU2q00w3I __ James McAvoy Tapped By Fox To Play Victor Von Frankenstein Fox‘s search for the right actor to play Victor Von Frankenstein alongside Daniel Radliffe’s Igor in the Paul McGuigan-directed film has ended. The studio has chosen its X-Men: First Class star James McAvoy and the dealmaking is underway. This was a coveted role, and the studio recently tested actors that included Boardwalk Empire‘s Jack Huston, and Toby Kebbell, whose breakout was the Guy Ritchie-directed RocknRolla. John Davis’ Davis Entertainment is producing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LaZyVigiLaNtE Posted July 26, 2013 Report Share Posted July 26, 2013 I don't know. In all probability I might end up hating the sequel ,if ever there were to be one, but I trust Blomkamp enough to hope for one. D9 was a diamond in the rough. D10 should be spectacular if done right. Sequel-anxiety is something all movie buffs face from time to time yet one can't help but not forget there were those that were better than their predecessors/originals right from Terminator to First Blood to Fast & Furious. So, yeah I await a sequel quite eagerly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elessar Posted July 26, 2013 Report Share Posted July 26, 2013 Make a sequel and the story loses all charm, making it yet another aliens vs marines clone. IMO it's a great setup for an 'Aliens' like sequel to an 'Alien' like film. Just needs a James Cameron. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nemo Posted July 26, 2013 Report Share Posted July 26, 2013 (edited) But alien/aliens was more about a crew's survival while district 9 is an individual's story. Of course a good director can Do good things but other factors have to work, most notably him getting freedom from the studio.

LaZyVigiLaNtE Posted July 26, 2013 Report Share Posted July 26, 2013 Yep. Aliens comes to mind too. The recent Prometheus rocked, albeit being only a spiritual successor to the aliens franchise. A lot of people don't agree ofc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had the Prometheus BluRay, sold it off without watching as I read a lot of negative stuff about it here. Prometheus was awesome. You should have watched it. Worth watching twice!
