Nah, my irritating moment is that they're in full space suits to go walking around on LV-426 because there's no atmosphere, and then the facehugger doesn't kill Kane when it melts through his helmet to get to his face.

So I'm watching The Tournament mostly because it's popped up on Netflix. They have Liam Cunningham (most recently known as Davos in Game of Thrones, but he also starred in Strike Back or Clash of the Titans, for example) as a kind of an accouncer, but for whatever reason they have him do some generic american accent. Half the fun in watching him is his awesome distinctive irish accent, but they just throw that away for seemingly no reason at all.

Facehuggers very deliberately keep their victims alive so they can do their thing, and since it looks like it's smothering their entire face and stopping them from breathing even in an oxygenated environment it makes sense to assume the facehugger is supplying oxygen somehow. The stuff is honestly everywhere, so it's not exactly outlandish that something could either synthesize it from local molecules, or if the air was merely toxic but contained oxygen it could filter out all the nasty stuff and give them breathable air.

Jonathan Yeah! posted:Maybe they had tanks and things. Or needed space for carrying poo poo back from the places they went to. The hangar was massive and empty, in the final scene with the Queen and "Get away from her you BITCH". And what are they carrying back? They're Marines, they're not going to be taking sheaves of wheat and sacks of rice in tribute. Having said all of this, it's the tiniest nitpick, which makes sense because when a movie is that good you need to really reach to find things that annoy you.

Rewatching the LOTR trilogy and good god these films are racist. Every other word is "my people" and how you shouldn't be with anyone other than "your people"

rydiafan posted:I assume facehuggers have the ability to create breathable oxygen and pump it into their hosts' lungs. Yeah, but an oxygen mask isn't enough to keep you alive in vacuum. Below a certain pressure, no percentage of O2 in what you're breathing will keep you alive because the moisture in the surface of your aveoli will boil off and prevent diffusion of O2 into your bloodstream. You need pressure, and you can't just inflate the lungs alone to that pressure because they'll pop like balloons. You need a full pressure suit to survive on the surface of the moon, not just an OS mask, and the facehugger sure can't do *that*. It'd have to be using its connection to his vascular system to pump oxygen directly into his bloodstream. Which is *weird*.

Pretty sure LV426 had an atmosphere, with all the strong winds and clouds and storms raging. I could be wrong since its been quite a while since I've watched Alien, but don't they even comment on its atmosphere at some point before heading out to investigate the derelict?

The whole colony is there to support an atmosphere processor. Also, Nostromo is the big mining ship from the first movie, Sulaco is the marine ship from the second. Fun fact: the Sulaco model was an embellished space marine rifle. And although corporal Hicks described said rifles as caseless they sprayed cases like whoah.

Phanatic said that oxygen won't keep you alive in a vacuum, which is true, but LV426 isn't in a vacuum in the first movie. It's a hostile environment, yes. But not a vacuum. Therefore there would be air pressure even if that air is low in oxygen or loaded with hydrocarbons or whatever.

You could see that situation in any number of ways. The books though were completely racist though. Just look at where Sauron's armies came from.

My IIMM was about buying it at all. I was in the Columbia House DVD club, and had to buy something from them to finish off my membership, and that was all I could find that I might have been interested in. It cost me like 35 bucks.

Watched Spectre last night and was IIMM'd when Mr Hinx kills the dude at the Spectre meeting in Rome to show his "credentials". They had one agent position to fill (Sciara's) but now they have to replace the dead dude as well. Hope there's someone who knows what's what in his office. Plus they'll have to get someone to take over Mr Hinx's position. Being an evil HR supervisor must suck. Also, they seemed to make a deal about Hinx's thumbnails - ooh, must be his gimmick! But no, we don't see them again, not even for an ironic death where Bond turns his gimmick back on him. Boo.

Maybe it's just a case of "might as well". And I'm sure the CM might evac civilians sometimes. Or take away xeno corpses. Or something.

You could always play off the size of the Sulaco as a jab at American excess. Does it NEED to be this big? We're just carrying 14 people.  - Does America NEED to be great? Of course it does, son!

I'm pretty sure Hinx and the other guy were just contract killers auditioning for the job as spectre's premier assassin. The thumbnail thing was really weird though, I definitely thought we would have seen more of that.

My uncle was in that :] good movie Content : The first captain America movie (the first avenger) The CGI is godawful in some places, I still remember the bit where red skull is monologuing to his army with the camera behind his back and it looks like something out of a ps2 game.It's a good movie but the tone's all over the place, they wasted Hugo weaving just like they later wasted Chris eccleston In Thor.

I kept waiting for him to come back later in the film, but nope. I guess he died at the train. Seemed too comical for such a big henchman to be his way to die. I'd love it if he showed up at the end and Bond was like "you AGAIN?" Also I thought it was really weird how he killed him by poking his eyes out, but the guy didn't scream or fight back or anything. But then I guess it ended up being a thing because the villain goes on about how the guy knew he was dead already or whatever. But that just seems really silly and stupid and also complete bullshit.

So In the Heart of the Sea looks like a bomb. Okay, so they released it a week before a movie 99% of the US is salivating to see. But it's a movie about loving whaling. Not even Thor can save that poo poo. Who the hell thought, after all the garbage from Blackfish and The Cove, that people wanted to see a movie where whaling is the way of life?
