It's called post apocalyptic for a reason. A few years from now, this genre will lose its futuristic aspect

[–] [email protected] 5 points 13 hours ago

Considering I will die come the apocalypse, post apocalypse will always be futuristic to me.

[–] [email protected] 37 points 1 day ago (3 children)

Hmm... I don't think the apocalypse we get is over that quickly.

[–] [email protected] 13 points 1 day ago

Yeah, those in power are really dragging this out.

Unless of course our luck runs out and someone pushes the nuclear button

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 day ago

You might be right but I'm not going to give up hope that easily

Think how much they will save on set design after this.

Reminds me when they used an authentic gold rush town to film Will Smith’s Wild, Wild West and accidentally burned some of the historic buildings to the ground.

Or when they smashed that priceless guitar in Django 🤣

They missed the most epic shots

[–] [email protected] 2 points 13 hours ago

And it would have added authenticity to the show unlike any other.

Wasn't there a movie about war that had to relocate their shoot because of an actual war happening nearby?

Apocalypse Now

Filmed predominantly in the Phillippines, a particular clip from the documentary reveals how the helicopters in the film belonged to the Phillippines and were used to fight rebels and insurgents.

Due to the “civil war in the south”, the narrator (Eleanor Coppola) says, “Every day the government sends different pilots who haven’t participated in the rehearsals, wrecking tens and thousands of dollars worth of shots.”

Since there were “rumours” about rebels being positioned just ten miles away from the shooting location, the Filipino commanders feared the safety of the cast and crew and remained stationed at the locations.

Coppola continues, “In the middle of a complicated shot, the helicopters [later revealed to be five in number] were called away to fight the rebels.” This led to a delay in the filming schedule.

My wife would have been a child in the 1979 Philippines. I'll have to ask her about all that.

For Full Metal Hacket they flew palm trees to England because of Kubrick’s fear of flying. I think the war was over though.

Awe we won't see Sexy Flatface for awhile?

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 day ago

She's amazing in what she does but she is phenomenal as Jinx in Arcane!!!! I hope to see much much more of her, VO or screen.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago) (2 children)

What is flatface? I googled it and came up empty. Or are you just calling the girl in the picture flatface?

[–] [email protected] 8 points 1 day ago (1 children)

I was thinking of the ghoul cowboy.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 day ago

Hey, what ever floats your chemical filled boat!

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 day ago

Her face is extremely flat, yes. Still a cutie, though.

Second season's gonna introduce The Master. They gotta wait for the fires to subside so they can film in the burnt out wreckage of LA for all the shots of the Necropolis they wanna get.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 day ago (2 children)

According to the canon master died around 2100, show's set around 2290

[–] [email protected] 8 points 1 day ago

do not underestimate bethesdas ability to defy canon

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 day ago

Good thing canon matters

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 day ago

That's a really cool picture. With the red, and the out of focus, and the pipboy. Costume design was on point in that show.
