>no giant blimp ads for the offworld colonies in the sky

Eh, the world was a lot shittier than the film led on.
The book explained that most of humanity left on Earth had side effects of radiation and chemical warfare from WW3, or something was genetically wrong with them. Deckard was constantly harassed to move to offworld colonies with his wife because they were healthy, but he elected to stay.
People also don't do much in home entertainment other than this dream machine thing that makes you feel whatever emotions you want.
But I really wish our cities looked like Blade Runner.
>>64356787

Was everyone in the 80's retarded?
Did they honestly think we'd have flying cars and lifelike AI by 2016?
>>64357732
those are amazing
>>64357756
in my opinion we don't have flying cars because we don't have the mindset of the people in the 70 and 80. we have become too pessimistic
>>64357756

No one predicted that we would have something with more computing power than the computers that took us to the Moon that was small enough to fit into our hand and be a multipurpose tool and mode of entertainment.
Have you seen what 19th and early 20th century pre New Wave sci-fi came up with?
Sure it isn't anything like what we have today, but it is very imaginative.

At least we are starting to have self-driving cars. The more we have, the less accidents there will be.
I find it really amusing that all the self-driving cars that have been in wrecks were not at fault, it was almost always someone else sideswiping the car or fender bender caused by someone rear ending them.
>>64357959
like in 5th element, you create a virtual road map and make the cars go through them, not allowing complete control over it of course

That's how pre-production works. You do know films are the results of many ideas, all edited together - they aren't just created immaculately knowing exactly what's needed, right? There's exploration to be done before production.

>>64359066

>>64359066
Remember that the theatrical cut had Ford's awful monologue.
>>64359134
It's my father's favorite movie [he is 59]. It must have done something right.
>>64359164
Eh, it wasn't that bad. If it were better recorded and acted it would have fit perfectly fine in a noir film like Blade Runner.
Some scenes did expound upon certain characters' motivations. It was interesting.
I'll admit half the time it was jarring.
I think it was mostly cut because Ford says "nigger."
>>64359328
Wait he does? I forgot that. at what part?
>>64359328
>Ford says "nigger."
I'm quite sure I've seen the narrated version and I don't remember this.

His tastes are everywhere. He is a Trekkie, though. We had a fucking second, smaller Christmas tree in the kitchen that only had Star Trek ornaments on it when I was growing up.

That's not a dystopia when it's real life. Since it can always get worse in fiction. The problem is that terrorism, spying on citizen more and more openly, Monsanto putting copyrights on grain is the new normal. Soon it will be to have a gelocatable id chip that does credit car in your forearm.

There is a shitty low budget TV series called Charlie Jade that has a really good dystopia, everyone is microchipped and you can't do shit without one, massive wealth divide, constant spying, nations are done away with and corporations own cities.
The main character goes to an alternative reality which is actually us and your can see the contrasts and we are actually one step away from his universe.
>>64359941
Is it watchable shitty or shitty shit?

Except Monsanto has not sued a single farmer for using their seeds without "permission."
They also aren't the seed company that most farmers get their seeds from, DuPont. They aren't owned by a CEO whose son got off from punishment for raping his own 3 year old daughter.
We already have the capability of doing that [see how cheaply and how much microchip tech has advanced for pets], its just fundamental Christians will go insane because apparently Revelations says something about barcodes.

The thing I have against Monsanto is that an old botanist who is a friend of my mother has written a ton of stuff but never published because he is now dead as fuck, about how Monsato's seeds, once grown, are contaminating the plants around them so they to become unable to produce seeds. I know this sounds like conspirationist shit, but this guy is actually recognized and not some nutjob.

Ah, so you don't understand how genetics and genomics works, or horizontal transfer [which plants do not do].
And since your botonist family friend is dead and gone, he probably missed the genetics revolution of the late 90s until now. We changed a shitload of opinions then to now.

Though I do think that all of their activities need to be monitored to make sure they don't monopolize. But that will probably happen if DuPont doesn't squeeze them out first, seeing how wonderfully our government is handling monopolies these days.
All I can think of now is this, and the subsequent corporation ruling the world biz.

>Do you recommend it?
Sure, it starts off kinda procedural, so they could con the network into buying into it. There's a lot of slow unveiling of the backstory. Season 2 and 3 are really good, then by season 4 it's so serialised it's kinda battling with its original story engine. It's also kinda gone off the deep end by that point, some of it doesn't work, but a lot of it is good.
It deals with ideas that are so on the edge of current events that they practically predicted the stuff in the Snowden leaks
>>64358221
This, it'll probably made bland and identical to any other current blockbuster so that it's "safe".
Hollywood is creatively bankrupt but the the masses eat their bland shit up anyway.

This, I don't have faith in a Blade Runner 2, especially since it has to be all new material and they cannot base it off another medium of entertainment.
Just wait until Cyberpunk 2077. I've given up on Hollywood portrayal of cyberpunk.
Speaking of which, has anyone seen Oldboy [Korean one]? Is it worth it? The cover and poster make me think it is cyberpunk or at least dystopian.
>>64359629
>We want the Watch_Dogs audience
>>64360857
Beware that it's garnered something of a Tumblr audience. This is also something that becomes kinda overt in season 4. According to Tumblr to two male leads are gay with each other and the two female leads that come in later in the show are also gay with each other. And the show listened to them.
Also note only snippets of the show are seen from the AI's POV

You fags didn't know Villeneuve and Roger Deakins are making it? It will be good and look great.
But Deakins said that he wants to do something different from the Ridley Scott movie, he wants to do his own thing. Also, he rejected lots of "scifi" flicks before this, calling them "scifi fantasy"
>>64359437
That movie was fantastic visually. Pity about most other aspects.
>>64361088

The city is overcrowded yet entire buildings are seemingly deserted, it's so smoggy you rarely, if ever, see blue sky, hardly anyone seems to be able to afford proper lighting, the streets are filled with garbage, large corporations basically control everything and we use genetically enhanced humans as literal space slaves. It's mentioned a bunch of times that off-world is the place to be, probably because most shitty jobs are carried out by previously mentioned space slaves.
I mean, clearly America took a wrong turn at some point and just ended up reverting to the 19th century in terms of social order. The only real plus seems to be that at least some people have flying cars.

〔〔 〕〕 〔 〕 The story goes like this: Earth is captured by a technocapital singularity as renaissance rationalitization and oceanic navigation lock into commoditization take-off. Logistically accelerating techno-economic interactivity crumbles social order in auto-sophisticating machine runaway. As markets learn to manufacture intelligence, politics modernizes, upgrades paranoia, and tries to get a grip.
The body count climbs through a series of globewars. Emergent Planetary Commercium trashes the Holy Roman Empire, the Napoleonic Continental System, the Second and Third Reich, and the Soviet International, cranking-up world disorder through compressing phases. Deregulation and the state arms-race each other into cyberspace.
By the time soft-engineering slithers out of its box into yours, human security is lurching into crisis. Cloning, lateral genodata transfer, transversal replication, and cyberotics, flood in amongst a relapse onto bacterial sex.

Superior cities coming through
Y'all niggas just need to move to Hong Kong. Live in your tiny tiny apartment 30 floors up and take a hike to Victoria peak. Hell every now and then pollution clouds roll in from mainland China to give it that grim dystopia feel.

d-don't call me that.
What are the cyberpunk essentials?
I've already played deus ex and seen blade runner, am I missing anything major?
>>64366286
I nominate Strange Days, great movie.

Robocop
Demolition Man
Fortress
Johnny Mnemonic

Judge Dredd
Hackers
>>64366410
>>64366469
Ugh to all those. But Johnny Mnemonic is not as campy as the rest.

The point is, what give the west the right to tell others not to pollute and judge others when that's the reason they got ahead

Watch Ghost in the Shell movie, and subsequent movies and series if you want. There are a couple of more anime that do it okay, but I'll stop recommending it here since some frown on it.
There are also so many novels, the obvious being Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep, but there are so many others. Neuromancer, Snow Crash, Frontera, etc.
>>64366930
>Pollute and judge others after
It is called learning from your mistakes and teaching others when you notice they are going down the same route.
Parents do this.

I really got into Psycho Pass.
>>64367841
Oh yes, I loved the first season and liked the movie. The second season not so much. Obviously Akira. There is also Paprika.
>>64367735
My favorite movie. More dystopian than cyberpunk.
I also highly recommend Snowpiercer, while on the subject of wacky dystopian settings.

What everyone else says. My grandmother lives on 850 acres of property in the woods.
The state where I live now has thousands of acres of uninhabited mountains and state protected forest.
Shouldn't you know about low population, being from New Zealand.
>>64366930
There wasn't exactly a lot of clean alternatives at the time and even if there were we didn't really know much about pollution in general to justify using them Chinese leaders knew exactly what was going to happen in terms of pollution and could just look at the past as a indicator.
However all China want is rapid economic growth. If the fastest way to grow their economy was to literally murder half of the population they probably would have done so by now.
>>64368136
It all depends on how far in the future / how fantastical you consider cyberpunk to be.
The battle scenes were fucking awesome.
>>64368148
clean alternatives weren't really the issue in america when it was industrializing, gasoline was a waste by-product and commonly dumped into bodies of water near oil refineries before gas engine vehicles were widely used

The only problem I ever had with the film, even from the perspective of '82 when it came out, should have been set in something like 2117, not 2017.

tumblr is actually a really great way to find neat artwork, it's really easy to doge the parts that you don't want to see.

And it couldn't even if it tried. Planet eucumenopolis would have an ambient temp. of something like 275 F as it's average.

Sorry, I had already planned to watch The Professional tonight. Which should I watch first?

It actually isn't that bad to go to Deviantart
Browse Digital Art>Paintings and Airbrushings>Sci-Fi and use their little SitBack function to look at some wonderful art

That is a bit far, to be honest.
Think about the differences between 1916 and now.
>>64369154
Anon, it would make more sense from the perspective of the sheer scale LA had become in the film. No to mention the off world colonies. Iirc, there was to be a scene in space related to the Replicants coming to Earth, the ship looked like it came out of Alien and you briefly see North America at night. Most of the country looked as if it had become "mega-cities" for lack of a better term.
>>64369287
True, about the outerspace technology. I think that in 50 years we will have the ability to make robots look eerily human. Like we have the ability to clone humans probably now, but scientific ethic prevails.
Have you seen how much Seoul has changed in 50 or so years?
>>64369422
>Modern Seoul
>Alien ship cameo
Really? When? I never noticed before.
