I went to a talk with Werner Herzog last night. Dude is a legend but he's fairly out of touch with a lot of stuff. He was asked if he was gonna watch the new Twin Peaks since he used to hang out with David Lynch. He replied "I don't think David has even started shooting yet" He's gonna poo poo himself if he turns on a TV...

Prometheus was way way worse imo. It STANK of rewrites and multiple screenwriters. Lindelof is really bad. Covenant isn't good but apart from some naff dialogue it was a lot better than Prometheus. Remember when the first Prometheus trailer came out and it looked incredible  I've never been so burned in my life.

Quantum of Phallus posted:Prometheus was way way worse imo. It STANK of rewrites and multiple screenwriters. Lindelof is really bad. Mike's appreciation of Prometheus seems to mostly be of the fact that at least at its core it tried to be something different than just another "Alien runs around in corridors and kill-rapes people"-movie. This is much less prominent with Alien: Covenant which also has a different premise at its core but is kind of invaded and ruined by this other movie.

Is the naff dialogue when David convinces the captain to walk into his basement alone after the captain just witnessed him talking to the alien that murdered one of his crew? The writing in Covenant managed to be dumber than Prometheus, which is better shot, has better effects, and actually manages to be horrifying at some points.

Apparently the goo the Engineer drinks at the beginning of Prometheus is different from the black goo in the rest of the movie, according to the alien anthology wiki http://alienanthology.wikia.com/wiki/Engineer. I watched Prometheus again and Shaw definitely suspects something fishy about David near the end of the movie so I still think its weird she repaired him, especially since they left this body in the crashed ship.

I want to believe that the reason TJ Rotolo isn't in Dead Rising 4 is that the game's script was just too lovely. Too lovely for the man who had the titular role in Bigfoot vs D.B. Cooper.

I saw Alien Covenant during a matinee, with only one other person in the theatre sat way at the back. After the I'll do the fingering line I laughed a little too loud and looked back to see if he thought it was as funny as I did. Didn't seem like it. I need to get some loving friends.

i don’t wanna go back to the bad cd thread about alien(s) since they seem blind to bad effects and bad retcons and seem to only like poo poo that makes people mad like some alt-right maga chuds supporting trump cuz he makes the libs cry so i’m gonna post this poo poo here for people interested in what went wrong with the flick. the bad: - the beginning it’s just too perfect that they get hit by a neutrino cloud or whatever within scanning distance of the engineer homeworld. i do like HOW they pick up the signal (all warbled in danny mcbridge’s helmet as he’s repairing the outside of the ship) and what the signal is because it’s tragic (it’s shaw singing john denver trying to get a signal out) but there had to be a better way to set up them getting there. i’m sure if i got paid a bunch of money to write the movie i could’ve whipped up something better - the creature effects. man of man them creature effects. the backburster is nearly assembly cut alien 3 chestburster levels of bad. it kills someone and it doesn’t even look like they’re occupying the same space, it’s just superimposed over her. also it’s dumb because you’d be able to crush it with your bare hands it’s frail and tiny. There are a bunch of scenes where a practical effect would’ve worked much better but they used cgi. when i found out the budget this made a lot more sense. but it makes some (most) scenes less tense or interesting because it’s often so distracting. it’s weird because they focus far less on the other infected backburster guy but it’s more gross and effective how it gets out of him and doesn’t look phony as poo poo. i dunno who thought the alien pov shots would be a good idea but man were they wrong. the first chestbuster looks comically bad i couldn’t believe it made it into the release. - the engineer homeworld. it’s just earth with a stone city on it. it should’ve looked like the darkworld from the hr giger designed 90s adventure game dark seed. lame as heck honestly. it did look cool as a necropolis tho. - characters are undeveloped. especially billy crudup which could’ve covered some interesting ground. - characters are dumb very dumb. the pilot blows up the lander shooting wildly at the tiny backburster. billy crudup gets infested with the first xenomorph because david leads him into a basement and tells him to take a look inside an egg after it opens up mind you this is after they know david is a psycho in league with the aliens. nobody thinks to question whether the android at the end is actually walter until the final character is being tucked away in cryosleep. - the “twist” it’s really loving obvious the android at the end is david. they hosed up by making the cut at the end of their fight way too early, they should’ve done it with walter bringing the rock down to make it more ambiguous. it’s also thematically dumb to have david survive because they were setting it up as if he was blind to his imperfections (getting the ozymandius poet wrong and not realizing walter would kick his rear end being a newer model) which ties in with the space jockey and weyland-yutani in the other films being brought down by hubris. also harkens back to him saying humans and the engineers should be destroyed as failures and he gets his comeuppance to a more improved version of him, created by the supposed failed humans. i also just liked walter better. having plot important scenes as youtube extras and not part of the movie - david creates the xenomorph despite his being impossible based on ridley scott’s own movie from 40 years ago. the good - it doesn’t make any sense but the scene where david kills all the engineers looks cool as poo poo and also the necropolis afterwards is a great setting - the shots you see of the xenomorph in the trailer (on the loading rig and in the shower) look good. - there’s a shot of the xenomorph in the terraforming dock that is really creepy in theory where it stands upright but the effects kinda kill the vibe unfortunately. - related, the design of the neomorph is pretty cool it has a shark-like quality to it but again the effects don’t do it justice. - michael fassbender and most of his scenes. if he aint in the movie it’s just all trash i reckon. like heath ledger elevating dark knight all by hisself. i’m in agreement with quantum of phallus that this movie is better than prometheus but it’s still one major rewrite from being a coherent or better movie. i’m gonna spitball here for a minute on how i’d improve it - have the lander be more heavily damaged upon the crash (or the storms more severe so it’d be impossible to leave) and have david kidnap the pilot when everyone goes explorin. he uses her to incubate a neomorph/xenomorph and that gets loose and starts attacking the group. david comes by with his flare gun as he does in the movie to offer them a safe place to stay. same poo poo with david and walter because those scenes were good, people get picked off by the neo/xenomorph between that (have the shower scene here not at the end of the goddamn movie). during this time billy crudup is coming to grips with the fact humans were created by these dead engineers and not by god and has some kind of crisis of faith because both his phony god and his true gods are dead i mean do something with him being a man of faith it’s not explored at all in the movie. anyway someone finds the pilot’s body and realizes it’s all david’s doing, they finally get through to the covenant and danny mcbride drops down and saves them. in this version, walter defeats david due to david’s hubris (see above) so there’s no lame twist. you get the alien stowing aboard and having to get blown out the airlock i’m cool with that. i can deal with the soft remake (more a remix of alien/aliens) if it’s good and makes sense. feels like this shoulda been the third movie in the series (with the outcome for david in my above fanfic) with the second being shaw and david exploring a much more giger engineer homeworld. really the whole series should’ve been divorced from alien and just been about the engineers and david and creation and poo poo with no connection whatsoever and no xenomorph.

The fire dude was the worst. The bigger I got on the streets, ese, the more my fire grew, ese. It's like the two were feeding each other, ese. *cut to his outraged wife dumping a bag with like, 8 thousand dollars and a couple baggies of coke on the table* When I married a man with a skull tattooed on his face, I never imagined it would bring this kinda poo poo into my house, ese! He called the Squad his family at the end of the movie. Motherfucker, you met those dudes like 15 hours ago.
