That scene rules. What makes it stand out? RLM used it a few times to say why Prometheus sucks. At least use the running from the Ship scene which was dumb and lame.

The acting and make-up is bad, which adds to the absurdity, and the genius having his skull bashed in with the skull of his creation is so on the nose as to make the scene complete shlock. edit: Also, violence against the elderly is funny.

I'm the guy who walked away from Covenant feeling duped by the marketing. I'll submit the caveat that I hadn't seen the full trailer, but going by the TV ads, posters, the re-using of the original "Alien" branding (it's actually kind of remarkable that until now each movie has had its own distinct logo) and the Xenomorph and Sigourney Weaver appearances on talk shows and the like, my impression was 20th Century Fox was screaming "yes we actually made the obvious ALIEN 2 that somehow this 40 year old franchise never really produced". During my viewing I think by the time the crew reached the ghost Engineer town I'd accepted that all the Alien poo poo was being saved for the end, but even granting the "alright, alright here's what you came for you dullard" climax (which honestly came off a little condescending to me) I felt the thing was a bait-and-switch. I'd argue it definitely had an effect on the box office, or at least that audiences weren't satisfied with the movie they got. Covenant was tracking for a $40+ million opening, and its first day takings seemed to confirm so - that it wound up missing that mark (and it wasn't even really close) rose eyebrows, and it collapsed by 70% the following weekend, and this pattern of conspicuously large drops was consistent with the movie's performance in other markets. Really, Covenant's total worldwide numbers aren't that bad in a vacuum, what's disappointing is the sense that the movie didn't meet its potential. It all points to toxic word of mouth, that people were sold on its presentation but the actual movie didn't meet their expectations.

Basebf555 posted:It really doesn't do action schlock very well and never has. The only time that's ever been successful is when Cameron was involved. It was a one-off lightning in a bottle situation. I wish we could hear the discussions FOX management is having regarding Avatar being a franchise that Cameron seems to believe is his sistine chapel.

The video games, more likely? Like how do you look at the Alien franchise and say "this is an action movie franchise" and be totally confused when the movies employ nightmare-logic instead of *~tactical realism~*.

Speaking of Aliens, any other goons pick up/attempt to get the limited edition Reebok release last week? Managed to score a set for my boyfriend who is now out and about in the world wearing a pair of sneakers designed after Ripley's power loader. I stole the little green keychain off of the Alien Queen sneakers from him; it has a cool little stylized Alien head on it.

I like the Cube genre of existential one room mystery films but they're all thoroughly mediocre with the exception of Five Characters In Search Of An Exit.

Just a barrel, a dark depository where are kept the counterfeit, make-believe pieces of plaster and cloth, wrought in a distorted image of human life. But this added, hopeful note: perhaps they are unloved only for the moment. In the arms of children, there can be nothing but love. A clown, a tramp, a bagpipe player, a ballet dancer, and a Major. Tonight's cast of players on the odd stage—known as—The Twilight Zone.

At the beginning of Predators when Topher Grace says he's a doctor I was hoping we were going to be getting into a Cube like situation where everyone had a special skill to help keep them alive in their fight against the predators. Alas...
