Neil Blomkamp
Made District 9 which kicked arse and a bunch of other terrible movies.
One of the weirdest career arch’s I can remember.

He was a VFX guy who had one really good idea that gave him too big of a green light.
I think basically he just has bad luck and every major project he gets into ends up in developmental hell and then cancelled.
His shorts on Netflix have always intrigued me but I've never pulled the trigger.

Dina Meyer > Denise Richards

District 9 - amazing
Elysian - great concept, good film, too politically driven
Chappie - vey good film
Grab Turismo - far better than people expected.
He’s doing ok.

This is the way. I distinctly remember having the biggest thing for Denise Richards as a kid. When she goes away in the movie for awhile and it’s all Meyer (and her great tits) I remember it was like Denise became less attractive to 17 year old me by the time she came back on screen.

Mistake. People will compare the 2 movies because most people don't even know who Heinlein was. The first was great. I know lots of people say cheesy fun. frick no. It was great. Hell most of the special effects hold up perfectly today. Some of the acting wasn't great but the cast had good chemistry.

I feel the original movie is superior to the text - sorta in a way the original Total Recall (Arnold’s version) is far superior to the text and the latter version.

Agree.
Movie Starship Troopers is to the book Starship Troopers as
movie Running Man is to the book Running Man. (Sorry for the old SAT reference.)
Both movies were very different, albeit fun takes on the books. The first fight in the book against the Skinnies was awesome. They dropped down to the planet in the capsules and then were hovering up and over the ridgelines in their suits in order to launch missles. The movie should be very dark.

I’m pretty sure Verhoeven didn’t read the book before the movie was made, I read that somewhere. He made the movie a satire on militarism on purpose

Wtf is this? No shite it’s different. I’ve never cared for ANY of Heinlein’s writings - they hold up poorly. Stranger in a Strange Land (uncut) is an almost impossible read today.
I have taught and read science fiction for 30 years - my first read in the genre was Asimov’s Caves of Steel when I was 12. Why that (and The Naked Sun) hasn’t been made into a feature I have zero idea. It could have laid the groundwork to Foundation and beyond.
Anyway . . . suck it. I can compare anything I want.

Sounds like he liked the oranges more than the apples.

No need to reboot perfection.

Super. I expect something akin to the Robocop remake - a visually pleasing movie that completely misses the point of the original.

Power Ranger was good.

Blomkamp isn’t tied to Power Rangers
