I'd sign that petition.

How can only 5 movies in 40 years feel like 20 movies?

so we're not counting the 2 AvP movies and Covenent?

*I mean Prometheus, bleh....

I dunno, I always thought it wa s like Freddy vs. Jason, which was neither a Nigjtmare on Elm Street or Friday The 13th.. but I dunno, I guess Batman v. Superman is sort of a new Batman

I remember it happening exactly once.

I don't remember any. Maybe a little with Alien3 because Fincher was pretty Zeitgeisty and busy in the 90s, but none for the others to speak of, save for "Jean Jeunet Who?"

It does seem weird that back then a director like "guy who did Delicatessan" would raise so many eyebrows when directing an action or superhero movie. That's like all of them now

Yeah, I'd say that when taken as an entire series Alien has less dignity than Mission Impossible, but slightly more than Universal Soldier.

Hey now, everybody's favorite Brad Bird directed Ghost Protocol, JJ Abrams when he was still good made 3, and John Woo.. John Woo made Hard Boiled once!

LOL

good observation it totally is

Knew I saved my stars for a reason.

Weird. The more you zoom it in, the more it looks like him.

How many ALIEN VS TERMINATOR movies are there? These are present day, earthbound affairs. Is this even the same universe?

Yup. I can't say Prometheus was a *good* movie, by any stretch, but it did have its good features.

I'm not sure that this movie will. Even its cinematography looks fairly pedestrian. And cinematography was the one thing that all Alien movies excelled at.....

BWAAAAAAHHHHH!!!!


.... until now.

Ooh Neil Blomkamp! I actually really liked Chappie. And for all the "it's just Short Circuit in South Africa" criticism, the film never really fell victim to the cliches that affect most other movies in that genre, including Short Circuit itself. I accidentally watched the "Prologue" that just came out instead of this trailer, and it's basically the entirety of the dinner scene that's shown at the very beginning here. This obviously harkens back to Scott's dinner scene in the original.. maybe a little cliche to go that route but it'd be like Star Wars deciding to do away with "may the force be with you." But nope, and subtle nods to the source material are thrown out the window when one of the crew begins convulsing and grabbing at her abdomen: "Oh shit! That's JUST like in the first one! That's actually kinda cool." But nope, Michael Fassenbender or whatever comes up to the woman and gives her the Heimlich. "Oooh! She was CHOKING!!" Seriously Michael Bay wouldn't pull that shit so fuck this movie.

Don't know how I got the inspiration, or how I wrote the words!
