I really like the concept for the movie and a lot of people at Sundance liked it, so I'm excited to watch it myself.

The concept alone is great. It'd be realllllly hard to gently caress that up to the point where I didn't like it.

The Running Man is extremely good and tbh not too terribly far removed from our current reality.

Because of Manhattan's turnaround, I thought they were going to wall-off Detroit instead and make it a federal penitentiary.

Not exactly a trailer, but a prologue to Alien Covenant. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EkXgRlRao5I

So hype for Covenant. Love the camaraderie before they all get horribly murdered.

Got a ticket to see Cure for Wellness. I wasn't planning on seeing it because those trailers made it look like more psychological horror which really aren't my favorite. It ends up being more of a monster movie and I really dug it. Those trailers sucked.

We only know what they've been told, not what is actually going on. I really like how you can get a good grasp of each character in this little prelude. Even the people who don't have much to say are giving us a good glimpse into their minds.

DC Murderverse posted:Who's to say they haven't? We only know what they've been told, not what is actually going on. Yeah, sadly it's almost definitely cut material from the proper film, so that it can rush into murdering all of these people indiscriminately. Much like Prometheus the promotional material will be better than the film itself.

Oh man seeing Billy Crudup, James Franco and Danny McBride all in an Alien movie is weird as poo poo but in the best way possible. Also looks like Crudup is going to be the Reiser of this one.

I loving love Billy Crudup. Though if the trailer is any indication he goes out like a chump. Could be selective editing.

His lack of being listened to and his insecurity will lead him to make a wildly catastrophic decision. Also I worked on a movie two years ago with Crudup and he is insanely nice.

So a colonization mission...they basically plopped a bunch of breeders on a cargo ship headed for dumpsterfuck nowhere and told them to have at it?

Maybe they've paired off due to the knowledge that they'll never meet more human beings ever again.

SimonCat posted:So, why include a gay couple? Perhaps the same reason it's theorized that it occured in evolution: if every member of the tribe is solely focused on reproduction and child-rearing, it leaves the group vulnerable and overextended. Having extra hands on the mission who are able to relieve some of that burden or be more focused on labor and resource management and cultivation only helps the larger breeding population. Making those extra hands a non-breeding long-term pair assures it. Basically, while Danny McBride is busy yelling at his kid trying to teach him how to play baseball, the gay guys can be busy doing science poo poo and running the operation. It makes a whole lot of sense, actually.

I remember something about the first PROMETHEUS draft having the Engineers force two men to have sex as they attempted to figure out the reproduction aspect of the newly created humans.

Have none of heard of surrogacy. Even if there is two gay men on the ship that's actually just as genetically diverse.

The Logan creative content piece is cool but from the beginning I thought that arm needed to be covered in a lot more dark hair, immersion ruined.
