Avatar is pretty...pretty forgettable! EDIT: Snipe tax It's a face towel I use for the gym and sadly no one has been ever freaked out by the guy benching with a Facehugger. Kaiju Cage Match fucked around with this message at 15:45 on May 26, 2020 |

Rob Sheridan (an artist who has worked with NIN) released a new mask that is alien inspired. https://robsheridan.threadless.com/designs/space-creature/accessories/face-mask/layered I have one of his glitch masks, they are pretty nice.

Dank, was looking for some styles, picked up a few glitch ones. Some days you feel Betamax, others VHS know what I mean.

How do yall handle the stealth mode mechanic in ALIEN RPG, do you just have the players take turns like a board game or what

Prometheus was good but too many dumb fans wanted to rehash xenos chasing people.

Shaocaholica posted:Prometheus was good but too many dumb fans wanted to rehash xenos chasing people. What parts of Prometheus do you consider "good"? I think there's some interesting parts that could've made a better movie but as an Alien prequel, it doesn't do it for me. As a Blade Runner sequel though...

The only good part of Prometheus was the scene where David activates the navigation computer and holds the earth in his hand. That was the only good scene. The engineers as an idea were cool but like they hosed it up really bad. Its not even particularly original, its your standard precursor alien sci fi trope.

First stop thinking about it as an alien prequel. It has some issues but was good enough to keep going which Ridley and the studio didn’t and instead made a dumb alien movie instead.

Retconning the xenomorphs not as some ancient haunting entity but rather a recent creation was its greatest crime.

I thought prometheus was good in the sense that many of the set pieces and sequences of events, taken seperately from the movie as a whole, were sorta rad.

Almost as if it would have made everyone happy if they’d made the movie an original property and not had anything at all to do with the Alien franchise.

Prometheus is good but its because its SPACE DILBERT as because like Dark Helmet has told us "Even in the future nothing works!". People don't work either as the world is finally starting to figure out. An inept egomaniac megacorp owner is afraid of dying, has his daughter cover for him while hiring people who are presumably skilled in their fields but as most people are ACTUALLY NOT, and they go to space. Also Noomi was banging in it. And Fassbender was a goddamn boss. But it's not exactly a movie that necessarily intended its lesson to be PEOPLE ARE GENERALLY DUMB. It's just what its actually about. (Unlike say Se7en which is obviously about urban and moral decay in the 90s. Whose audience didn't go in expecting such a thing.) As an Alien prequel its butt. As a very lovely to look at movie that is more or less OFFICE SPACE IN SPACE it owns. I mean hasn't anyone ever had a job or been around people in their jobs or just seen the current US White House? Prometheus is REALITY through a sci fi lens is all like the best speculative fiction should be. It teaches us important lessons about the Human Condition. (That nobody learns. Also see much better overall teaching sci fi film Jurassic Park. Wisdom can be learned if only we open our hearts, eyes, and mind. Also I would like a #2 medium, no pickles or onions on the burger, and an iced coffee for the drink 1 cream and sugar please.)

Deliberately sabotaging a space voyage, one of the most dangerous endeavours imaginable, for short term personal gain? Nothing more billionaire than that.

So I tested out my new home theatre settings with the stretch of Aliens from Gorman's speech about the "bug hunt" through to the end of the first firefight. The sound design in this movie is sensational, and like a poster mentioned earlier, you're pretty much on edge the entire time once they're on the planet. Even when they're scoping out the labs and the "Area is Secured Ripley" it still feels tense. Amazing stuff.
