Ridley Scott even had the balls to make the most reviled, 'unrealistic' part of Prometheus into a really excellent sick joke.

I forgot about that but I think the actually most reviled part is the supposed biologist kootchy kooing some alien spores. What they actually do in this one is outright hilarious.

It's hard to make the straight line thing crueler and funnier without simply pulling the same gag.

I might be getting my stupid complaints mixed up, I thought the complaint was that all she had to do to avoid being crushed was to step to the left.

It's funny, because I had this memory too, but it turns out that it's not correct.

You've got guts! Come to my village, I'll buy you lunch.
Alien Covenant was okay, but not as good as Prometheus. There are a bunch of individual scenes that are clever in that "sick joke" way Hundu mentions but nothing anywhere near the scope of Shaw's self-performed abortion or Weyland getting beaten over the head with his own creation. It's very much shifted from the near-comical dysfunction of the crew of the Prometheus to just a bunch of well-meaning people ending up in a bad place and dying horribly for it, which isn't necessarily good or bad but definitely isn't as funny.

What exactly did she think he was protesting? He was a drug dealing thug who was all gently caress all pigs?

Also she looks even more feckless backing off her Trump comments. You're gonna let "grab em by the pussy" off?

Yeah. Like what's the excuse? He's an athlete so he must not know anything? That's more than 'not being circumspect', that's just being reactionary.

I live in Sweden, and I don't believe we have any fjords actually. Norway's hogging all of them.

Not that our forests, mountains and coastlines aren't worth a visit anyway! If you visit Gothenburg I'll invite you to a movie night.
