Real apocalypse > fake apocalypse

It's called post apocalyptic for a reason. A few years from now, this genre will lose its futuristic aspect
- Hmm... I don't think the apocalypse we get is over that quickly.
  
  Yeah, those in power are really dragging this out.
  
  Unless of course our luck runs out and someone pushes the nuclear button
  
  You might be right but I'm not going to give up hope that easily
- Considering I will die come the apocalypse, post apocalypse will always be futuristic to me.
- Are you saying something is going to be uncovered?
- i think the futuristic aspect will stay still it's a future of an alternate world - think steampunk, victorian scifi but still scifi. this is atomic age scifi
  
  They even have a name for it: Atompunk. It's got all the aesthetics of the mid-century, but with nuclear power.
  I've been partial to dieselpunk myself, though. Interwar grittyness really cinches it for me.

- 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.
- Honestly, that would be epic.
  Too bad the masses will think its in poor taste
  
  Making a movie by taking advantage of a tragedy in which thousands of people lost their homes and some even their lives is in poor taste. Many of these people are vulnerable and don't have a safety net, they won't be able to rebuild their lives after this.
  Remember how The Creator got backlash for using footage of the Beirut explosion?

It's actually "Le fires" 🇫🇷 !
- 🇫🇷 Les* fires 🇫🇷
  
  Je suis un idiot.
  
  Tips firedora

They missed the most epic shots
- And it would have added authenticity to the show unlike any other.

we hrd u lik apoclyps so we brt u mor apoclyps

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.
  
  Shouldn't it be tens of thousands of dollars? So it's like $2,000 dollars and $40 bucks?
- For Full Metal Hacket they flew palm trees to England because of Kubrick’s fear of flying. I think the war was over though.

Okie dokie!

Awe we won't see Sexy Flatface for awhile?
- What is flatface? I googled it and came up empty. Or are you just calling the girl in the picture flatface?
  
  I was thinking of the ghoul cowboy.
  
  Her face is extremely flat, yes. Still a cutie, though.
- 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.
- Lmao the number of people that thought you were talking about the lady

"lets just film Trump and Elon instead of vaulttec"

Tarkovski would have used it.
- From the Wikipedia article of the stalker movie
  Several people involved in the film production, and possibly Tarkovsky himself, died from causes that some crew members attributed to the film's long shooting schedule in toxic locations.
  Sound designer Vladimir Sharun recalled: "We were shooting near Tallinn in the area around the small river Jägala with a half-functioning hydroelectric station. Up the river was a chemical plant and it poured out poisonous liquids downstream. There is even this shot in Stalker: snow falling in the summer and white foam floating down the river. In fact it was some horrible poison. Many women in our crew got allergic reactions on their faces. Tarkovsky died from cancer of the right bronchial tube. And Tolya Solonitsyn too. That it was all connected to the location shooting for Stalker became clear to me when Larisa Tarkovskaya died from the same illness in Paris."
  The production story of that movie was wild

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.
- According to the canon master died around 2100, show's set around 2290
  
  do not underestimate bethesdas ability to defy canon
  
  Good thing canon matters

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.

They just got a bunch of new filming locations, so maybe they can make up the time in travel.
