Lived in Hong Kong for many years and was subject to many of the weather effects, sights and sounds of the movie. Still maintain the dystopia street scenes are HK. Concept art reminds me of this to.

I screamed at my TV at that point. Now I need to apologize to my TV.

Hopefully this will send independents and bernie supporters over to Hillary.

Trump might actually be going all-in on a theocracy.

It’s kind of impressive that Trump could pick someone who would be objectionable is almost every opposite way from him. I’ve known people who are like “Well, at least Trump isn’t terrible on abortion and gay rights” and then he picks Pence, who is truly awful on both. There’s almost a part of me that wants to…

Sounds more like he’s a citizen of the Republic of Gilead to me.

I love that his proof is that two thirds of smokers don’t die from smoking related diseases. I’m sorry, is there another habit I can pick up that has over a 30% chance of killing me? I guess alcohol if I take it really seriously.

I’m afraid it’s a) 2000 and b) tobacco.

“People who know me well know I’m a pretty basic guy. I’m a Christian, a conservative and a Republican, in that order.”

In the book, it’s mostly about social status and money. Those who leave for Mars are pretty much who you’d except to be able to make it in such a situation.

I hope this movie’s art book has some gouache paintings by Syd Mead, like he did the first time around. Yeah, I’m in awe of current concept art and what’s being done with photobashing, but there’s a richness to the old style that can’t be denied.

The point is that humans are leaving, leaving behind the ones too poor to move. But the original novel hints that the colonies aren’t exactly a picnic, either.

Is this is some weird modern allegory? There are two other Subarus next to the one with the bear. Was the dark one too cold, the red one too hot, but the silver one juuuust right?

Fucking cops, never comfortable with anything but broken windows policework.

Russians thought ahead, no glorified lantern for them, just a really big sword.

It’s like he’s looking at the oncoming waves and saying come at me, I dare you.

“Guan Yu doing, girl?”

Oh sure china, your colossus is bigger, badder and newer, and towers over the huddled masses longing to be, but our old gal still has it.
