Yes, with some caveats.

26.10 in the video for recommendations, you're safe to go to the end from there.

Not google sure how to link on mobile, but just saw Last Jedi trailer. Fair to say my excitement levels are through the roof! Looks amazing! Just hope it doesn’t play it too safe like TFA did. I love RJ’s films so hopefully this is no exception.

Razorfist says its just a fan movie (mising ingredients that made blade runner gritty and depressing like I had mentioned)
This is the difference between old 80s and new sci-fi:
new sci-fi doesn't feel as lived in. 80s makes you want to hide from street punks and angry things that want to kill you. Everyone is fucked up. The backgrounds are fucked up. People's lives are fucked up. And the pollution is disgusting. (clean shit from star trek like holograms isn't cyberpunk imo there I said it)

Hollywierd could learn a few things from Ghost in the Shell animated movie from 1995.
(lots of religious symbolism in that movie. Especially how Motoko questions her lifeless meaning for existing, and her fascination with diving and being baptised by water and later being born again as a new being in a new kid body. This is how you tell a subtle story of romance and finding meaning through merging your consciousness with others to create new life. And cyberspapce is the sea of human knowledge to swim around in after motoko becomes a changed person. ie born again christian with a heavenly body which lets her fly in the heavens/cyberspace and gain consciousness of a higher level being than before when she was closed off to the world as a unthinking person going on autopilot all the time.)

In anime movies like Akira, Bubblegum Crisis, and Ghost in the Shell you see the effects of the fucked up world on the people and technology is not always sexy but horrific and digusting. We lost that in post-80s dystopian sci-fi because hollywierd is obsessed with promoting transhumanism as positive thing rather than showing the dark shit behind greedy people with no morals and how corrupt people can get away with enslaving people with it by making everyone dependent on the giver of the technology like a drug seller makes his customers dependent on the drugs he sells by getting them hooked on it so they can't break their chains from it. I predict when everything is recorded on digital tech, this will allow dictators to easily erase history by deleting and editing documents for example. Printed books always stayed the same. but digital data can be hacked easily and consciousness can be subtly altered. But we love the convenience and like a drug addict don't care about the consequences of being dependent on the technology because we love power. Computers will turn against you one day and by the time you realise it, you will be obsolete and too dumb to know what's going on because of laziness and always wanting convenience; making you weak. You are the ghost not the mechanical body. The intangible thing is of more value than the shell which can be mass produced. Uniqueness is what defines you, and if everyone judged only by the actions of people, then what you are physically doesn't matter.
How does that relate to blade runer? Well at the end of the first movie, knowing whether Deckard is replicant or not is irrelevent since if the replicant can love then humans can hope they don't just kill only and act like machines. Their actions are the important thing to be judged by. People focus so much on the obvious story and not the spiritual part of the film. You are defined by what you DO, not what race you are, where you came from, what you look like physically. People are obsessed with the material things not the spiritual meaning. If humans were just more sophisticated replicants made by God, then replicants made by humans should be judged what what shit they do. ie their soul and what is in their cyber heart and intent. Genetically modified hybrid snake women are still taken from God's creation that man borrowed from. It stands to reason then that just like there are bad humans and good humans due to the fall of man in the garden of eden through original sin, then the same applies to replicants. (if they fear death so much and want life extension how is that different to humans looking for life extension technology like methusalah gene? ) We have to look at the soul of people not external appearance.

My prediction is people will get bored with normal human sex and demand monster sex. Sex with beings that were custom made just for providing pleasure.

Right now movies like the new blade runner show holographic girlfriends because we now have augmented reality glasses and sex robots.
But further down the line man will tamper with nature to create sytnthetic people and keep them as pets that give them company or provide love since feminism has destroyed relationships between man and women. Men are sick of being demonised on tv, movies, and blamed for everything even though they are the ones doing all the gritty dangerous and dirty work for women. Man would not have made rockets to the moon, achieved great stuff if it weren't for trying to impress women and women got used to having so much that they started to treat men like shit and use men as utilities much like replicants in the blade runner movies being sick of being tools for humans and wishing they could have dreams and ambitions like the humans do and make those utopian ideals a reality.

The feiminists know their time is coming soon much like the manual labourers knew the low skilled jobs were going to be taken over by factory machines which can run more efficiently and with less (no) pay. You guys avoid looking at the dark side of technology and why the elites can not be trusted with this stuff. Unlike normal people they do not value christian morals and just want to use others like toys for their amusement. Never become weak like they want you to be! Always take the hard path which is honest and not the easy path which they wil use to bait you into traps. Fuck the snakes man. They just wish to exploit weakness in people. And you know it as you are seeing with Anita Sarkesian trying to infest the gaming culture with her feminist crap. Game culture is the last male-only space they couldn't quite crack (Gamergate exposed the corruption by female plants) due to the nerds not giving a shit what women think and especially the rich nerds that work in silicon valley who never got attention in highschool from the good looking chics that now want to replace women with better versions of them that don't complain, will never betray you, and can actually be useful like tell you the weather forecast, read you the news, and act as suport for the man rather than a competitor and backstabber that wants to take the man's money. lol Not to mention they won't age so men can finally get neotenous waifu. This is what feminists have done to society. They were spoiled rotten by their baby boomer dads who treated them like angels instead of disciplining them and expected the male slaves to just let them abuse them because thier dads didn't do thier job raising them properly, and now the slaves are escaping the plantation and God is punishing these entitled children who direspected authority.

When men focus on their dreams and are not distracted by mundane petty things, they can achieve great stuff with their creativity and drive. It is a quality that God gave to men but not women. But women envy this rather than want to support a man. And this has resulted in population reduction, (thanks to birth control, infidelity, abortion, promiscuis sex which causes the females to not bond with the partner they fuck, euthanasia of the elderly who use to rely on grandkids to care for them before they died, and no family) causing governments to be forced to have to open the borders and let immigrant take over because decadent white people won't start families and seek pleasure only.

It's very important that your generation heed my warning because you won't be speaking english in the future if the government floods the local culure with foreigners in desperation and let the invaders have their way with the locals. Angela Merkel = canary in the coalmine for all the other countries imo - your daughter will get pack raped if you don't watch out. And the feminist won't be there to say anything when it happens because they only care about rapes by white guys as they are taking sides with the groups that will most likely vote for their left wing leader (third world foreigners want to get the free welfare that the left will offer to the foreigners). Meanwhile corporations will rub thier hands with glee as they can cheapen labour costs by having the invaders compete with the local population for jobs and save the greedy businesses a lot of money and boost the share price of their greedy company to share holders by cutting cost to produce the products, which will result in the destruction of families because the dad can't find work and the kids will eventually become property of the state as he canot provide for his family anymore and just stays at home drunk depressed and watching football or playing call of duty to waste time rather than being productive. The future version of that man is seen in the CG movie Wall-E where humans have so much convenience that they are fat slobs on floating chairs that can barely move their own limbs due to excess luxury and have no reason to even exist thanks to technology making them so weak.

If you want to survive, you got to learn the snake's schemes and avoid the traps tomby. These science fiction movies are truth dressed in fictional stories. If they made it into non-fiction the illuminati will kill the guy making this. So they have to dress it up as a fake story in hopes people like you will decode the secret messages and realise that's the plans of the elites who want to kill everyone off to take their property and own the world for thsmelves. (very materialistic)
As homework I want you to rewatch Spiderman Homecoming and tell me what you think it was about. To me it seemed very anti-laziness even though the more lazy you are the faster the productivity in modern times. Is spiderman worthless without Iron Man's tech like Batman without his riches to create the gadgets? I think that is an interesting question . It's like superman without his super strength and speed.

Paul Feig admits attacking haters was wrong when Ghost Busters 2 was given thumbs down by old timers who preferred the Dan Akroyd vision for the sequel.
This brings hope to long time GB fans.

I think Dan Akroyd should be involved in future Transformers movies too. We need people to fix the 80s franchises and bing them back down to low brow entertainment again for neckbeards not make them wideley acceptable to non-fans and politically correct for large audiences of prgressive people who see nerd culture as something they need to 'hack' into and hijack for their own purposes. This isn't a databank for Guilty Spark to steal all the knowledge of alien cultures so he can control others.

Save Ghostbusters and give the right people the control sony. Ghostbusters universe could have been as big as the marvel movies but nooooooo you had to piss off the fans by caling them losers and basement dwelling zit-infested manchildren living with mom instead of congratulating them for giving valuable feedback. Artists need to get used to criticism or they will go on and make all the same mistakes again. It's known as the Dunning Krueger effect.
Stop being narcissistic arseholes and let the real talent get to work on it. And then fans will pay to see it instead of pirating it from candy arses pirate servers from china and russia.

This is aimed at all the hollywood people who are fucking up action genre:
If you want strong females in movies learn from the best movies of the 80s like Aliens and Terminator 2. Not movies where being a boring and bitchy person = strength but courage under situations not in your complete control are seen as weak because the universe doesn't bend to the bitches will like a godess because having a vag means you are invible. The problem is hollywood as it is today doesn't know what true strength is. It's not having godlike powers that you didn't earn like the female in Star Wars Force Awakens. It's females who make the most of the cards they were dealt and willing to stake their own life on something that might not be worth going back for because the reward may not be there to give you the happy ending. Struggle under harsh conditions, endurance under pressure and making decisions based on what is morally correct is the strong in strong characters. Not necessarily how much power they possess. Without struggle the story doesn't exist. Conflict is what makes audience watch things to see how things react to each other and observe the result. Actions are motivated by the character's unique reaction to things happening to them ot around them; creating unpredictable results and adds drama to the action.

Old 80s science fiction movies like Terminator and Aliens seem to have emotionally charged scenes. But how can an audience feel a connection to the character if they HATE them and not root for them? You see where your problem lies? We don't care what happens to them because you made them into either bitches, uncaring and cold people who are distant to the other characters, or so perfect and godlike that there is no conflict and therefore no story because you can already predict what the end will be because they are perfect. (same problem with a lot of those old 1970s super robot shows from japan before people got sick of them and birthed the 'real robot' genre where machines were fragile and vulnerable equipment that the hero uses and not overpowered magical crutches to overcome anything. With predictability comes boredom. Female power fantasy stories are not interesting if they are overpowered. Because they don't have to struggle due to how perfect they are and the audience can not identify with that.

If you want to put a spoilt princess and bitches in movies you will alienate people and make characters nobody likes. Heroic and virtuous characters, not bitches is what audiences prefer. And the reaction to danger has to be realistic. If you are not in real danger then why are we watching it and not some cartoon for kids? Ok? We know best. It's not original to just take men and cut their penis off and make them women and say 'that's so original and edgy'. It's not. It's you being lazy and not caring about what fans care about.
You are not making music videos. You are not creating cartoons. When people see movies they want
a)something realistic (mad max did it right by not relying on CG computer graphics)
B)people they can relate to and identify with,
C).. and growth. (eg is a character is a bitch at the start they can change if they experience things that make them question their own belief or way of life so they don't automatically know absolutley everything and act like know it-alls to the point that all other characters actually become obsolete and have no reasons to even be in the movie. This kinda happened when the x-men movies came out and wolverine stole all the attention just because of fan service reasons being the most popular character)

Fix your shit movies by keeping in mind what the audience thinks is good and try to learn from the critics rather than insulting them, you rude fucks! Unless you are making an art movie for snobs you actually have to care about what the watchers who pay for this actually wants and not what you think is good for them.

Loved Split. James McEvoy didn't get enough love for that performance. Actually two performances getting no love at Oscars that one and James Franco, again winning an Oscar has long stopped being anything to do with your actual craft though.

Finally some good news about the future of Star Wars:
Kill da bitch. Execute order 66 on her arse. Then smack her corpse with a toy lightsaber dipped in male tears of anger to make sure it doesn't come back as a zombie feminist bitch to ruin Boba Fett. Fucking idiots! :lol: How much money have they dumped down the drain just to make SJW happy and then discover the SJW are fake fans who don't read or buy comics, don't play games, and have no interest in supporting the neckbeard hobbies. (it's an attempt by blue pill white knights to get some sex just like the gamergate scandal when feminists infiltrated review sites to obtain high scores for shit non-games)
Listen to him Disney! Enough with catering to fake geeks. You were actually tricked into believing females and girls like boys stuff. What happened was an attempt by feminists to try to make money selling toys to them and girls still prefer barbie, My Little Pony and Frozen.
Princess Leia is not a disney princess. You tried to make her fly in space like it was your own character. You ended up ruining the character you did not make. And that's what pissed off long time fans of SW.
Star Wars is a story about bad dads, making sad sons, and dark priests glad to make families mad. And it has nothing to do with Fat girls stopping black boys saving the day. Your fan fiction story is not as good as the EU where people can be allowed to be badasses if they want to. Just Do It. If you don't eventually Donald Trump will have to write an executive order that allows him to make Star Wars Great Again and fire her personally. There is no more money. Toy stores are closing and jobs are drying up thanks to not listening to the neckbeards who were there way back when it wasn't cool to like Star Wars and it got bad critic scores. Remember these guys like strong females but we don't want you to destroy the existing characters. You did this: You felt like if you didn't destroy characters then your shit ones wouldn't get as much screen time. But it's the fans that decides what is considered cool character. So your strategy was to kill them all off so you could pass down the legacy to new characters that were losers. It failed. We were on to this plan a long time ago. (many dead sacrificed bothans told us what happened as force ghosts to get me this information. Their skeletons are lying around out there unburied and haunting places to scare kids at night)
