I don't know why they're skipping 2061.

Well, this looks interesting. Let's just hope it doesn't suffer from a out of nowhere ending like A.I.: Artificial Intellegence did:

And I hope that Neil Blomkamp expands out of his comfort zone, or he'll probably become the next Richard Kelly (and by that, I mean turning into a one trick pony).

So what's the social commentary of this new one? D9 is racist white people vs aliens (black people), Elysium is rich white people vs poor people - mostly Hispanics...

I'm going to guess it's "robots are people too".

I don't think it's necessary a bad thing for filmmakers to stick with what they know, although it differentiates great filmmakers from merely good or okay ones. John Woo, Kevin Smith and (gagging) Michael Bay are good when they stick with what they know, but are horrible when they don't, and I'm okay with that. Not every director can be Steven Spielberg or Robert Wise.

So I'm playing the new COD and I gotta say, I like Spacey's performance so far. I like the concept of the PMC thing but since this is COD...I am waiting to see how they screw this up.

I know there was a lot of inflation in the seventies, but this seems a bit much.

If you're a fan of Mass Effect, it took Cerberus 4 billion credits to bring your character Shepard back to life.

I'd rather they go this route.

Let us know when they screw it up.
