JoeinAR 1,949 Posted March 21, 2015 Share Posted March 21, 2015 Being racist again!South Africa also has locations of astonishing beauty.He has not shown anything that would lead anyone to believe south Africa to be anything but a filthy nasty local.Alex he could if he wanted I suppose.He should film on Catalina Island. Are you serious? I was at Catalina back in 2012, and man -- what a tourist-infected piece of shallowness that was. OK, some of the area was OK for hiking, but very little in terms of interesting vegetation. When it isn't touristy, it's barren. And not in an interesting, ALIEN/Iceland-kind of way.South Africa, on the other hand, is known for some of the most spectacular nature in the world (rivalling New Zealand, Indonesia and other gems in the world). If you were indeed serious, I suggest googling around for a few samples. It's one of my favourite destinations.South Africa as depicted by this director is a nasty unwiped hole. Catalina Island is beautiful despite your idiotic musings. Now if I suggest Yosemite you'll tell me that's bad too.Josie has never left the USA, and he never will I'm sure.I would gladly visit England and Australia. Maybe China.

JoeinAR 1,949 Posted March 21, 2015 Share Posted March 21, 2015 Yeah I'm sure that was no good but you didn't see it as it is. Director ND shows South Africa in a bad light. But he's isn't filming a travel log. He has not shown me as it is. Still I don't want to go where thousand die annually from Hippo attacks.

Thor 7,543 Posted March 23, 2015 Share Posted March 23, 2015 Alien 5 plot changed to avoid interference with Prometheus 2I've never really understood why there should be a conflict here. PROMETHEUS takes place hundreds of years before the plot in ALIENS -- and presumably in a different corner of the system. "A long time ago, in a galaxy, far, far away" and all that. Unless Blomkamp wanted to hint at some origin stories in his film. Apparently, there's a need for continuity backwards, but not forwards. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I believe he's made it pretty clear that he thinks the films moved in the "wrong" direction after ALIENS, and that he's taking the story in his own direction from there. He doesn't want to say that he wants to undo 3 and 4 out of respect for fans of the franchise, but it's pretty clear that that's exactly what he's doing.
