The real answer is that they filmed some scenes with the younger version of space billionaire but they all got chopped. George miller should direct the next alien movie.

Ok I finally watched the movie (on a plane), and here's where it lost me: The babyface giant gets out of the crashed ships and makes out with the octopussy. But when the Nostromo arrives in Alien, he's found in his lounge chair, where he was when he crashed. What is up with that? Oh, and they don't see any traces of the first expedition, but let's forget that. How does babyface tellyport after death? you hack movie writer you E: it bothered me so much that I kind of wished there was a GBS thread for me to consult. Thanks OP for making one! You are a true lady/gentleman. lilljonas fucked around with this message at 07:02 on Jul 26, 2015 |

The answer to any question you may have about this film is Damon Lindelof. Why did they present ancient aliens like it was a clever original plot? Lindelof. Why did they weigh their simple plot down with vagueness and a million underdeveloped ideas that seem like redherrings but probably aren't intentional? Lindelof. Why do characters we've literally only seen once before get to have a poignant heroic death scene? Lindelof. Why was their enough good bits scattered in the mess that a section of people will rabidly defend it? Still maybe a Lindelof thing, possibly Ridley Scott.

Actually it was less complicated than I though after reading all the online complaints about the super-complicated plot. People are dumber than I thought. But still, the teleporting baby was complete unnecessary, he could just have stayed in the ship and the octopus crawled there, no probs. Now it is just a plot hole. And that german actor was great as always, and Rapace's accent changing every scene was comedy gold.

I thought the movie wasn't really that bad. Considering all the nerd rage that it got, I was expecting way worse. v  v

Strudel Man posted:It's a completely different ship probably. But then make the effort to have the ship crash in the same angle as the wreck Nostromo explored? If they had just had the babyface giant get ganked while driving, the two movies would tie in very nicely. To have it be another ship just seem like a dumb waste of the entire movie.

Can anyone here explain to me the ending of Alien: Isolation? Are there multiple endings? Because the ending I got, where Ripley spaces herself, seems completely inconsistent with the rest of the game.

remember when the scientist took his helmet off in the alien spaceship on an alien planet? "i can breathe in here" he said. that moment was when the movie became good to great. it became a classic of cinema and a game changer in the sci fi genre. great writing, great directing. fantastic movie. one to be talked about for years

Michael Fassbender is cool and in both Shame and Hunger you get to see his fassbender and it is sizable.

In order to attract otherwise disinterested crowds and media attention with the alien franchise recognition, only to mock them for wanting it to be an Alien movie by flopping out a lovely off-model zenomorph in the last few seconds, like here's that poo poo you ordered.

When World War Z came out it was revealed that he was bought in because they were having trouble sorting out a messy production and needed someone who could arrange things into a sensible plot. I think it was more like this man has somehow managed to sell a whole lot of disconnected and undeveloped scenes and ideas to people multiple times, he's perfect to salvage our scrapheap production.

Like, seriously, there's four big action things in World War Z. First one, when they're on the road and the zombies show up, whatever, fine. But after that, it's all women being too drat loud. When they're sneaking around the army base. Brad Pitt's wife calls him and the zombies hear and attack. Israel gets over run because those Palestiniant ladies are singing too loud and the zombies go over the walls to get at them In the hospital place. They're sneaking around but then Brad Pitt's new Israeli wife walks into a tray full of medical supplies for some reason and that alerts all the zombies.

The one on the army base is the stupidest. Like, Brad Pitt's job was investigating war crimes as they were taking place in active war zones. You'd think that like, rule number one for his wife when he was in the field would be "Don't call me, I'll call you" She shoulda known better.

This is like how in 28 Weeks Later every bad thing that happens is caused by the two kids and every time an adult tries to save a child they are horribly killed while the kid escapes and is unappreciative of the adult's sacrifice. But in the case of 28 Weeks Later I'm pretty sure it was intentional and a parody of the jurassic park school of putting kids at the centre of an action thriller, I don't know what World War Z was going for.

moose face posted:why didn't they just get an old man to play the old man instead of a younger man to out on old man make-up and pretend to be an old man? The movie was ok and I avoided the discussion thread about it like the plague because that thread was terrible but seriously I don't understand the reason for this. It looks like poo poo See I thought it was supposed to look like poo poo, or at least give you that uncanny valley uneasy feeling because the guy is maybe 150 years old or something way older than he should be, kept alive indefinitely by science and being super rich.
