And while more and more beds are getting marked 'Out of Order' there's going to be a Grand Melee of third world scumbags like Spider* all trying to seize the last working bed. Back to square fucking one, except there aren't any more spacestations to raid. So a few thousand street urchins later and all those beds are deadlined. #RAID ALERT FOR ELYSIUM FREE#Moreover, by making their product free to everyone, the company who makes and maintains those medi-beds is going to go bankrupt. Elysium doesn't represent a post-scarcity civilization. Magic bed or not, it's still a scarce resource that has to be allocated rationally. So while the medic drones are in Calcutta healing scabrous lepers & hoary cripples, there's an ever-growing queue of doe-eyed misérables dropping like flies in Santiago. They had only a few of those hospital ships for the entire planet, which by this point is probably home to tens of billions of people. I'm just spitballing here, but Eminem probably wanted it shot there to give employment opportunities to locals, even if it would just be temporary. He loves his city, but didn't the Robocop franchise do enough damage to the city's reputation? Ironic that Eminem wanted it shot in Detroit. How in the hell do you go from Watkin Jones, to Eminem, to Matt freakin' Damon?ĭamon is an ideological mercenary. who ultimately accepted and was cast as Max Da Costa. So, two different white rappers turn down the role, so they go after their third choice.this guy: who also turned down the role, as he wanted it filmed in Detroit (guess it was a little too dangerous for the producers). What I found most interesting about the film was that they first offered the lead role to this guy: No doubt it was a propaganda piece, few movies aren't.but, it was blatant in its jabs against illegals and healthcare. Now take your fucking Miporol before I get my droids to break your other arm." Don't like it? Think it's unfair? Too fucking bad. There's only ONE space habitat and we're not going to let you fuck it up. It's going to come from the healthy, well-educated Elysians.Īlso, anyone who does make it on board illegally should be spaced as a deterrent to other dirtlings: "There's tens of billions of you fucks. If there's any hope for humanity, it's not coming from the illiterate half-starved street scavengers. That deserves a fucking missile in the face. The only reason unauthorized shuttles would be coming up would be to rob and despoil the only place in existence that isn't an utter shit-heap. That being said, why the fuck didn't Elysium just have missiles, or railguns, or lasers or something to shoot down the dirtlings? Then they wouldn't have had to bother with terrestrial psychopaths for air defense. Hard to build a ringworld when you're picking through toxic trash middens with thousands of other illiterate dirtlings for undigested corn kernels. Because if humanity is reduced to nothing but teeming billions huddling in equally desperate third-world squalor, then there will be no extra unallocated resources available for any technological progress or engineering efforts to improve our lot as a species. If there is only one place left in the entire human sphere that isn't a third world hellhole, then it needs to be protected at all costs. #RAID ALERT FOR ELYSIUM MOVIE#Spent that entire movie rooting for Jodie Foster's character.
