Maybe now they can just make a simple stand alone movie. I enjoy the Alien series but it's gotten to like Halloween levels of being up it's own rear end in terms of lore. I say gently caress it, give it to someone like Saulnier and just make a spooky, tense movie about an alien loving up a spaceship.

Funny thing is, Covenant pretty much set a conventional Alien movie up. Most of the boring and pointless seeking-out-your-own-creators stuff from Prometheus has been jettisoned, we got the initial origins of the xenomorphs, and now we can continue on with the evil aliens eating a bunch of scared people. Covenant was ok, but the issue was that it only got interesting in the last half hour or so.

Covenant is the second best Alien movie after the first one, and it's honestly really close

The thing is, you could make the Alien universe a lot bigger if you just throw aliens around into different genres and situations. It doesn’t just have to be spooky ships with aliens. It could be a political thriller about someone trying to take down W-Y or what what would happen if W-Y used the aliens as bio weapons. You could go on forever and keep things relatively stand alone.

So I saw the Last Jedi and it was pretty good, the best part tho was walking out behind some dork who was explaining to his dad that it was "communist propaganda" and "i mean, the message is like, attack people that like horse racing?" and his dad just, without even looking at him, says "ha only you would see that in a star wars movie" real dismissively and starts talking to his young wife. lol burned by ur dad bitjc

That's like saying you'd watch a Godzilla film without giant monsters, a zombie movie that spent most of its runtime with the livestock, a movie about space truckers, or a movie about a functioning Hadley's Hope. It's kinda in the title of the franchise. It's not Humans, after all. poo poo, look at the situation we're discussing. We're not getting another movie because of Covenant wasn't an Alien movie for most of its runtime, and the previous movie in the chain was an Alien without any Aliens (minus the post-credit thing).

Safety Factor posted:Can't wait for the inevitable slapstick xenomorph comedy. This time, the host was a clown. We already had this, written by Joss Whedon. Also if you think Alien is about the title character and not Ellen Ripley, then you should rewatch them because they are not about it at all.

I loved Covenant up until they leave the planet. When she started swinging around all over the place my interest started fading. In other news I'm going to see a double feature of Der Fan and Christiane F. on New Years Eve, not sure if that will be the most depressing NYE I've had.

Now Mr. Bib's when you say "a zombie movie that spent most of its runtime on the livestock" do you mean actual livestock or human beings because either way you're a moron. Edit: what the hell kind of zombie movie is about the zombies??? Probably a real lovely one

Again, it's about what you're watching the movie(s) in question for, and you're not watching a zombie film for it's subtle takes on the human condition. Sometimes there's exceptions - Zombieland is my favorite zombie film because none of the main cast dies - but every zombie movie is about the zombies. Bringing it back to the Alien franchise, there's a reason why the Ripley-crying-over-her-recently-deceased-child got cut from the film.

Shoombo posted:Edit: what the hell kind of zombie movie is about the zombies??? Probably a real lovely one There's quite a few good ones, actually. A large part of Peter Jackson's Dead Alive is the main character taking care of zombies instead of actively trying to kill them. Return of the Living Dead spends about half it's run-time following the zombies and the whacky ways they trick us into being eaten. Return of the Living Dead 3's 2nd main character is a zombie throughout. Fido is heavily about it's zombie population. Dead & Buried, without spoiling too much, is all about the zombies (though they're not really like normal zombies). Plus lower-budget horror comedies like Dead Heat and Idle Hands.
