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.
What the FUCK did you just say about Chappie???
Chappie was bad, and I say that as a Die Antwoord enjoyer.
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.
damn. well, they weren't the classiest bunch, so im not surprised, but i am disappointed

Aw man. Looks like I won't be able to enjoy them anymore.
I figured it'd be Ninja getting accused sexual assault so even though it pisses me off, I'm not shocked
I was, however, surprised to read the accusations against Yolandi....from DANNY BROWN no less.
I hate Die Antwoord, but Chappie is a good boy and shouldn't be lumped in with them!
In comparison to District 9, Chappie was pretty awful. I was VERY excited for it but left disappointed. It was so campy and...unrealistic? That sounds stupid to say in the same breath as praise for District 9 but I don't mean the settings, I mean the stories. The character writing and plot were just not great.
Unfortunately, Bloomkamp is one of those good directors that mistakenly think they are also good writers (See also: Zack Snyder, M. Knight Shyamalan).
Jesus you are so right about those last two.
yeah, a dude "figuring out" complete AI in a single night of hardcore coding was super weird
That was more a scene of his final night of work. It was still kinda weird, but they set it up so that it was supposed to show that he was working all night, every night on the project, and finally hit the right "code" to make it work.
It was nothing original, just Short Circuit with guns
There's nothing wrong with that. Johnny 5 ALIVE
Not great doesn't mean bad. I had fun with Gran Turismo
He just needs a good writer by his side to keep him in check and reign him in.
