the only thing that would have made Alien better is if the xenomorph took the form of a spooky clown like in It

And it's gotta say something cool! No more hissing and spitting, today's clown alien has to be a cunning linguist. How about "why so serieous"

Personally, I would have liked if it was discovered that the Aliens have a fully translatable language, but it turns out communicating with them is hard and they tend to be violent, so it becomes more OK to kill them than ever before.

Johnny Alien wakes up in cold acidic sweat, on the floor. Enough of it pooled to erode the cinfortable cot down to nothing. He swore. It was another one of these dreams - no, a nightmare. A pink human cub chasing after him through the endless corridors. He shivered.

Prometheus had incredible atmosphere and was all around good. I liked it better than Aliens. Covenant sucked butts just like James Franco (more like James Stanko).

I love how an enjoyable slasher in space franchise turned into some kind of navel gazing about the clock maker argument. Who gives a gently caress who made the aliens, gently caress the architects, they are useless and boring. Give me a 2 hour movie about a lavish space cruise that accidentally takes up some unwanted passengers and then everyone gets et by aliens.

The best part of Covenant was when the two young and attractive crew members who had maybe 3 lines of dialogue between them the entire movie decided to gently caress each other in the shower in the third-act, but oops, the fully grown alien is also in the shower with them and runs its tail between their legs before killing them. It really makes you think...

My feelings? Y'all are the one that can't take a joke about a jackoff robot. I loved Bladerunner 2069 or whatever it was called. It was the second worst Bladerunner movie ever.

In his second appearance Data’s brother Lore claims he was rescued by a Pakled trading ship and is wearing a Pakled uniform. I always wished I could have seen him take over that Pakled ship and presumably slaughter its crew. Now that I have seen Alien Covenant I think I have.

JOI is both a product to help lonely poors jerk off, and (with the emanator) a "sentient" AI that is no different from the replicants, just as the replicants are no different from humans. Everyone is just a machine, consciousness does not actually exist, it's all fake.

It really made me reevaluate alien after I saw my son immediately after childbirth. Holy poo poo did Scott have some hosed up issues with birth. Having only seen Prometheus as the first alien movie I have ever seen, I thought it held up as a meh horror flick with no strong impressions. Given everyone else I saw it with's reaction I think it's best that I never watch it again having seen the original one.

Sleeveless posted:It was cool and good, in a world of endless remakes and reboots actually doing new things with a franchise is admirable even if it makes the nerds mad because they just want the same familiar product regurgitated into their waiting maws. Compared Prometheus and Covenant to the Terminator sequels or the Predator sequels and its night and day in terms of trying new things versus endlessly chasing the dragon of your first two hits and always coming up short while drowning in more and more Canon and Lore.

I wonder if there were any drafts that did a good job of visiting the engineers and interacting with their world before deciding to just nuke them.

The most disappointing thing about Alien Covenant is that the director's commentary is nothing but Ridley Scott artlessly explaining what's happening on the screen. No insights in to the production or the writing process. No anecdotes about the cast or shooting. Just Ridley acting like the world's most aloof and boring grandpa, reading his grandchildren a bedtime story not even he is interested in.

Bladerunner is a bad movie because it teaches children to run around with blades ie see the name and it's not a very good idea! Remember little Johnny who liked to run with scissors from your childhood? That's right.

John McTiernan's commentary on Predator was like that as well. Really disappointing compared to the other special features they put together for the Predator DVD. They've should've done a Dog Soldiers and sat the cast down in front of the movie with a case of beer and recorded the resulting conversations.

My favorite cool trick in Prometheus is that for old man Weyland they had a younger actor in old man makeup so your basic film literacy would make you think that his plan was going to work and he would be restored to his youth, so his death is even more surprising in its abruptness. It's up there with adding CGI birds flying out of the giant statues in Lord of the Rings as if they were startled by an actual helicopter doing an aerial shot in terms of tricking people by using their knowledge of filmmaking against them.

Last time I've seen it I don't think I was even a teenager but then again same goes for Alien. Definitely see Pandorum if you're into scifi horror, it's amazing.
