You said director. I just had to correct you that there was two people who helmed that thing. However it thankfully got Ridley Scott back on the franchise, so hey.

I had my teeth cleaned last Friday, I've been seeing the same dentist office for over a decade, I have the same dental assistant work on me every time. Her favorite movie of all-time is Alien. She is so loving excited for Covenant. I made the mistake of saying "Yeah, I've only seen the first two and the first AVP. I'm thinking of watching a few of the others to catch up." She got so drat excited and said "Well you gotta see Prometheus! That goes into the whole origin, blah blah blah." I said "I'm probably only going to watch Alien3 and Prometheus, to be honest. I just don't really care." She spent fifteen minutes digging into my loving gums telling me that the AVPs were essential viewing so I could get more stories on the aliens. When I had my chance I said "I really don't care. I don't think monsters are scary knowing every detail about them. I just want to watch the good ones." Another fifteen minutes of "No, you really need to see all the AVPs." But she said Resurrection was dogshit. I told her to play Alien Isolation, and thankfully we got to move on and I had a chance to suck the blood off my gums. Anyway, that's my story, thanks for reading.

Here's what you're missing in the essential viewing of AvP one and Two. In AvP Aliens are on earth and predators fight them and they all get blown up. In AvPR aliens are in Colorado and fight a Predator and they all get blown up.

I saw the original AVP in theaters opening weekend. Making Xenomorphs into cows/deer for bored Predators to kill is dumb. They also made it look like there would be an epic battle on a ziggurat, when that was a 2 second flashback. edit: I laughed at the ending, too. *Predators look at the survivor* Predators: Okay, see yah! *fly away* Human: Um. So, I'm just...Stranded here? To freeze to death? THE END

Requiem has the problem that for a while it was the only Alien movie to be better than the previous one, which distinguished it a bit even if it's just pretty decent, but then Prometheus came along and was legitimately fantastic, so now it's just a footnote. Still a fun little movie, though.

CelticPredator posted:I love Prometheus. That's objectively worse, in my opinion. I laughed, but I liked the ending with it being: "I survived TWO dangerous alien species who want nothing more than to devour me, but I'm still victim to my surroundings and frostbite." It was mean and nihilistic and stood out as being a neat choice.

The movie was on TV and I caught the end, you forgot that he gives her his gaudy stickspear. It's like, Danny Glover gets a cool antique gun, AvP lady gets a Power Rangers prop. And the moment he hands it to her is pretty awkward, as if she wasn't sure what to do with that lovely thing.

I would sooner agree that Alien3 is better than Aliens than Aliens being better than Alien, the chattering of a million idiots notwithstanding.

The Alien films quality directly follows its release order with Alien being the best and it just going down from there. Prometheus fits between 3 and 4 quality wise so that gets all screwed up if you count it so I don't.

What are some good boy's names? My second son is due in six weeks and my girlfriend and I are a bit stumped because we obviously already used the best name for our first son. The criteria are as follows: - shouldn't start or end with an s because my girlfriend's last name starts with an s and it would sound unpleasant/we want to avoid alliteration - should sound good in English and in German, German takes priority - shouldn't have any common cutesy shortenings - three syllables would be best - Biblical background welcome - no references to current popular culture if possible - neither me nor my gf should know and dislike a guy with that name - Not Grendel, never Grendel  - I think that's it My personal favorite right now is Bob. Or possibly Jakob.
