List two movie settings you want to see more of Cyberpunk anything

ancient greece

>>84927672
watch Nirvana, the italian film from the 90s if you haven't already

I want more stuff like Slacker (linklaters)
More things with the same vibe and aesthetic as taiwan and hong kong cinema in the 90s

>>84927672

swords and sorcery

can't think of anything else

Oh but to answer your question I would like literal "science" fiction.

>>84928063
less guardians of the galaxy and more Interstellar or Primer?

>>84928113
Eh more like a Half Life or Portal movie or something.

>>84927816
300
Not even meming
It's a great movie

>>84928303
Snyder should be grateful, that movie made his entire career

definitely a great action movie

>>84927943
Yes.
It doesn't matter what setting
But "gritty" historical fiction with bonus points for not being set in medieval Europe.

1970s Big City
Swampy Shithole

>>84928336
Maybe because he adapted something directly?

Snyder's problem is that he has shit plotting.
He is great at making amazing moments, but shit at stringing them together.

With 300, he already had Miller's comic to guide him.
He should stick to adaptations, or at least have a head writer who can tell him to fuck off.

>>84928063
Just gimme some hard SF and not give a fuck about explanation or exposition.

Mote in God's Eye movie would be great, for example.

>>84927672

Nothing wrong with GOOD cyberpunk
We need it now more than ever.

The problem is that modern cyberpunk stands for everything that the original sentiments hated.

Make a cyberpunk movie with minimal CGI and I will like it

>>84928618
I like cyberpunk because one day it will be real.

>>84928639
That's precisely what I hate about it

>>84928639
It already is.
Except that instead of an obvious dystopia, everything is bright and happy and there's nothing wrong with anything.

Except for the fact that apparently our president was chosen by hackers.

Westerns without much violence, but what is there is quick and brutal, with lasting effect to the character.

I've never asked about it, and he never talks about it. All I've heard was that he was in the bad stuff, which I take to mean the chinese counterattack

>>84927672
Cosmic horror (Lovecraft-type horror)

The only thing my grandpa said was that he was a sniper and that it was fun till people started shooting back.

for time periods id say turn of the century, not the cow boy era of the 1880s but not the roaring 20s either. I like 1910-15 eras to be more common

location, anything thats not east or west coast. Im tired of NYC or LA writers thinking those places are the center of the universe. Small town in blue collar mid west america or parts of the south that dont scream deliverance. Basically anything that says middle class (not fucking poor and saying its middle class)

>>84929098
There was no middle class in the 1910s

Akihabara

>>84929709
I have that in my library. I've been waiting for a power outage to start reading more. I'm in the middle of the final book of The Ember War right now.

>>84927672

>>84927755
>I want more stuff like Slacker (linklaters)

Watch Gummo.

>>84929778
>The Ember War
Never heard of it before now
Is it good?

By the way, if you're a sci-fi fan, I have to recommend Iain M. Banks.
Can't stop recommending him. He's GOAT as far as I'm concerned when it comes to self-aware sci-fi

I want a movie like GATE
but I don't want it to be cheesy friendship tier faggotry like that chinese cartoon

just an army, most likely US, using modern materiel to fuck up magic users and fantasy creatures

>>84929816
noir?

>>84929885
>Is it good?

On a whim, I actually started listening to the audio book (audiobookbay.me) There's 9 books. It is much better than I expected. I listen to it on the road mostly.

>Iain M. Banks

Never heard of his books before. Sounds like it may be refreshing. Have you read the Lensmen series and Skylark series, by E.E. "Doc" Smith? Old stuff. "War Eternal" by M.R. Forbes is also good.

Holocaust comedy

>>84928690
you might like the book Snow Crash, it's cyberpunk but with a more realistic sensibility. The main character literally steals memes for a living, the Internet is filled with holographic penises, and the villain is a globalist richfag importing refugees to create a single global hivemind

>>84930173
So, it takes place in modern day with no actual sci-fi or fiction involved.

>>84930173
sounds like 2017: the Novel

>>84930042
I've heard of the Lensman series only because of how it influenced, apparently, Starship Troopers.
I've only read stories by the other two.
Never series.
I'll check the library for them if you recommend it.

Bank's books are.. I don't want to say deconstructive of sci-fi as a whole, but it's definitely deconstructive of the Star Trek style Federation.
And Banks has such a fucking charming ass writing style.

If you like Star Trek and you like science fiction, read Consider Phlebas, Player of Games, and my absolute favourite sci-fi book, Use of Weapons

>>84930173
Read it.
I liked it half as much as I liked to because it couldn't decide whether to be a serious prediction of the future or a mockery of it.

Like the Pizza Deliverator, which is the biggest American business dominated by a Mafia, was total satire
But the rest of the book was "real".
And then there were atomic power superdogs who worked for a Chinese restaurant chain.
But then there were real extrapolations of blog shit.

It just kept oscillating between real predictions and stupid absurd intentionally crazy mockeries of predictions.

I love Stephenson though

>>84930061
This has potential.

>>84930312
Call up Tarantino.
Inglorious Basterds as a good Jew persecution comedy

>>84930219
>it influenced, apparently, Starship Troopers.

I'm not really sure how.

Lensmen and Skylark series are a type of old genre fiction. Smart characters in those are actually smart and are usually always a step ahead of the villains. Most people who don't like it, don't like it for that reason. There's also a great deal of techno-jargon about the sci-fi tech. Like how sci-fi used to be. There was also a knockoff anime movie Lensmen based on the series. I don't recommend watching that. These books are short, so you can read 2 of them in no time really. Some real life military stuff was developed from these books, fyi.

>>84929965
Are you fucking retarded?

>>84930219
>list of other books

Noted! Already torrenting the entire Banks collection as a taster since I don't own that in my library.

>>84930351
I love that era of sci-fi.
Asimov and Clarke are big on the consummate professional scientists and engineers.
Sounds like I'd love the Lensmen series.
I'll look it up. Have you read Clarke's "Tales of the White Hart"? Good collection.

And yeah, I've heard Lensmen were an inspiration only because of how Lensmen had power armour before the Mobile Infantry

>>84930219
Speaking of Starship Troopers, here's a genre I'd like to see more of: Space Marines on a bug hunt.

>>84930394
Words or read?
I love his books as as audiobooks when they're read by Peter Kenny.
Banks loves crazy ass names that have no basis in Earth culture.
Reading them sounds awkward, but Kenny says them with such conviction and casualness that they seem normal.

settings don't make good movies

>>84930467
Since we're off movies now, try Old Man's War.
It's about space marines fighting stupid battles.

movies don't make good settings

>>84930447
I don't remember the specific names, but I think I've read most all of Clark's stuff. I have like 10k real life books in my home library and there's a few different collections like that.

>>84930494
"Various" readers it seems.

"Luke Daniels" is the reader for The Ember War, he's spot on. It is hard to find good readers for audio books. Surprisingly, Wil Wheaton was amazing for "Ready Player One" which is a must listen to.

>Banks loves crazy ass names that have no basis in Earth culture.

I use much the same in my own books, since non-Earth cultures have non-Earth names. I usually see names as a symbol and don't sound them out when reading so weird names are fine.

>>84930512
No, but I think we're all expecting good movies to also have these settings.
A sorta ok movie can be made great with an amazing setting

>>84930292
How's his other stuff? The description for The Diamond Age really turned me off

I haven't read Diamond Age for the same reason (sounds like Pedo bait?).
But Anathem is really amazing.
And I'm reading Seveneves now and the first 100 pages is nerd crack.

Anathem is really really good though.

I do the same.
I think all dedicated readers do that to all words.

I talk to some mates a lot about books, and you'd be surprised how few actually do that "words as symbols things"
Like they need to sound out each letter.

When I read, I don't read letters, I see each string of letters as a whole complete symbol.
Who needs to read "t" "h" and "e" to get the word as "the"?

Apparently many folk

Read the Culture series though. It's amazing. I gotta recommend it again. Banks is a clever fucker with a charming ass writing style.
Even if you read each book solely as a moment to moment story, it's still good. It gets better if you step back and go meta on it.

Only the names.

Don't shit-talk the Culture, mate

The quote and non-quote are unrelated. The quoted section was for how we read words. That style scrambles the insides of words longer than 4 characters. The first and last letters are left alone.

Go read that shit. Or listen to it (read by Peter Kenny).

The series is pretty much non-continuous, but books like Use of Weapons only get their full load off if you're familiar with the universe, even if each book doesn't necessarily require the knowledge of the prior ones

>>84931048
Will do. That is why I like world building series. By the time you get to the end, you really get all the very fine nuances.

Other realities include future tech worlds, medieval worlds, barbaric worlds, jungle/swamps, etc.

>>84931608
>>84931617
Based on DNA, humans and chimps diverged 8 million years ago.
The subsequent million of years had humans begin to walk, then make tools, and then make fire.
Humans, like people who are as smart as us, began only around 300 thousand years ago.
And we've been getting smarter since till around 50 thousand years ago.

Time doesn't actually exist. To travel "back in time" you'd literally need to reorder the physical makeup of the universe, like those magic scenes where a wizard fixes broken items in a room that got messed up and everything reverts. Of course, you can't actually do that.

I didn't like seveneves, but there are cool things in it. Snow crash is an absolute masterpiece, in nearly every way. Diamond age has an inferior narrative to snow crash, and much worse characters, but it probably has the more interesting ideas and philosophies. In fact, diamond age probably had significant influence on how I moral questions. Cryptonomicon was just a mess.
