Shannon is good but in certain doses, Sofia buetella was only good in Kingsman and she didnt talk. I definitely never pictured this when reading the book, I always thought of Mel Gibson

Hopefully all these new nazi/fascist themed shows and movies will help inform milennials what fascism is.

Its not some self-centered self-absorbed narcissist dude who is literally in business for himself reluctantly acting as leader after he accidentally got elected while feeding his narcissism with his street rally addiction where people chant his name. only so he could tell everyone how great and kickass rich he is while receiving critical acclaim from everybody as they starved and went home to a house without Cable TV...

That's more of a Japan steampunk FF7ish corporatocracy jumpoff..

It's going to be reversed. The firefighters will be heroes because the books will all be like alt right shit and like Ann Coulter and Donald Trump books.

No blacks in the book.

Thankfully they made sure to make the good guy is black and the bad guy is white though.
it's weird to me because it's a story about book burning and we all know that blacks can't read.

The book is a classic. No way this works. It will be the liberal version of Atlas Shrugged the movie.

This has already been made into a (not very good) movie decades ago. A fact that underlines another: the book is a classic, but it's also an anticipation book written in 1953. As is often the case for such books, some parts are eerily prophetic, but I fear some others are extremely dated. I have read it in the last century, so my memories of it are not very clear, but I suspect it would be difficult to make a contemporary story out of it.

Modern progressive version should have been big telecoms (all white males) setting fire to net neutrality (all black trans).

Hmm, yeah.

The problem is that the internet castrates the book. The premise and the theme.

Bradbury saw vr and wall sized televisions coming though.

Its a great book to read for some 50s Americana. Ultimately its about authoritarian censorship and the liberty of the individual. Somehow I think it will be far too subtle for the triggered generation.

They'll be mad that montag wasn't creating enough safe spaces. Montag is the Nazi.

Well;


I simply refuse to trust any of this. Considering what we know about Hollywood and the MSM in general in 2018, its like pedophiles making an anti pedophile ad.

That was fucking terrible, im sure people will love it like "I am legend" even though it missed every point of the book

Anytime i end up explaining the book of "I am legend" to friends they get confused and wonder why itdidnt follow the book and want to go read it

Oh a classic story, let's see how the media and hollywood can yet again fuck this up. Hopefully I'm scolded more for being a white male.
