Dumb decisions in Alien Covenant

1. It is established early on the artificial android you only have one of is necessary to maintain the ship during the long hypersleep. You take that android with you on a potentially dangerous land mission rather than keeping him on the ship.

2. After taking a few weeks to fly to an unexplored planet on a whim, you do not decide to wait out the PLASMA STORM in the atmosphere and instead choose to fly through it.

3. With a hostile life form inside quarantine rather than keeping it in quarantine you open the door so you can try and kill it with a space shotgun

4. After being told an alien murder beast burst out of a person after he suddenly fell sick, no one notices that they also have a guy in the group who suddenly got sick under similar circumstances.

5. The evil guy who you know is evil and who admits to being evil tells you he is breeding murder weapons and asks if you want to see his successes. You are alone and he is considerably stronger than you. You say yes.

6. The alien life form you know comes to life inside other people has been bred to have eggs. The evil guy you know is evil tells you to put your face over the egg. You do so.

7. An evil murder robot looks exactly like your nice murder robot. Only one comes out of a room after a fight and says he is the nice one. You take his word for it.

8. Your good robot can instantly heal superficial wounds. The robot claiming to be the good robot has several superficial wounds that are not at all self-repairing themselves. You do not find this bizarre.

9. You stabbed the evil murder robot in the face with a nail and yet do not ever check if the robot who claims to be the good robot has a nail wound.

EDIT: I have had all weekend to just ruminate obsessively over how dumb the people in this movie are

Lmao I can't stop laughing at these cuz they're so true. But I will say this about #4: that dumb chick was screaming so loving much over the radio that they probably had no idea what the gently caress was happening on the ship and then they saw it blow up.

4. But first you leave the door shut long enough to kill your crewmate because she might be exposed, meanwhile you have blood on your face

Also

2b. You investigate an alien planet where all the animals are gone without helmets or any protective gear, which would have prevented anyone getting sick had you worn anything

Bond movies are so archetypical that hundreds of other movies have borrowed from them and as a result if you've seen lots of those movies and then watch a bond movie for the first time, the bond movie is going to seem like some kind of bad parody.

Don't tell me you don't like a movie about James Bond battling voodoo practicing heroin dealers in the bayou!

Also as always moonraker was complete travesty.

Brosnan could have been the best bond, if he had better scripts.

Timothy dalton was the closest to the book bond.

Etc

quote:

Today, we are excited to tell you about another change that comes after conversations with more than 80 current and former players: we are relaxing our rules on celebrations to allow players more room to have fun after they make big plays.

e. more rules changes:

quote:

NFL owners passed a resolution which will allow two players to return from injured reserve each season.
Only one player had been allowed to return in the past. The owners also voted to shorten overtime from 15 minutes to 10 and eliminate the 75-man cutdown day which previously occurred after the third preseason game. Teams will now cut directly from their 90-man roster to their 53-man, "final" roster after the fourth preseason game, giving coaches more players to pull from in the meaningless preseason finale.

I think letting two guys come back is gonna be a big help in teams being more willing to put guys on IR in the first place, especially their stars, and especially early in the season when those guys could come back in the late season for a playoff push.

We are approaching that with the older one (almost 10). She liked Guardians and the new Star Wars. But we've got at least four more years before we can all go to the same movie. And of course even then it will have to be PG-13.
