Vincent Van Goatse posted:I just picture a bunch of marines just popping into existence onscreen so the squad keeps getting bigger as they get more panicked. At that point in the script they’re just boarding the APC, which means Marines are appearing out of thin air inside the vehicle. That makes it a lot funnier for me.

it did always seem weird that they sent this giant warship with like... exactly eleven marines or whatever. i'm sure there's some background where The Company deliberately short-staffed the response so they could get their specimen but still

Have we talked about the upcoming Alien prequel with Scott at the helm again? Any speculation as to what it's going to be about? Like I'm kinda prequeled out, but I'm also not going to pass on more stories in the alien universe.

Here's a cool trailer for the game Aliens: Infestation on the Nintendo DS. If you like metroidvania-style games, it's a real good time. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DHbjped9gM8 It was intended as a tie-in to Aliens: Colonial Marines, and the DS game was actually finished around 2009 and was going to have a sort of parallel story to Colonial Marines' plot, back when the game wasn't going to take place exclusively on LV-426. The DS game's release was put on hold while Colonial Marines tried to un-gently caress itself, and when it became apparent that that wasn't going to happen, Sega said "gently caress it" and released Aliens: Infestation separately in mid 2011.

Do you think Ridley Scott knows how bad the scripts are to his prequel movies, or do you think he's all "gently caress it this how I keep an unlimited budget to try out any filmmaking technique I want."

I dunno but the trend of old filmmakers not knowing or not caring what made their original films good and fumbling the reboots is highly disappointing; George Miller notwithstanding.

The timeframe is the thing, I think. Imagine, relatively speaking, doing a really cool science fair project in high school, getting a scholarship out of it, and then going off and doing whatever for forty years and growing a career as an artist and blah blah blah. Can you accurately recapture the magic and passion of that high school project when you're 60? Are you beyond it? Do you want to be tied to it still, or do you secretly wish the Class of '78 Alumni Committee would gently caress off, and so you barf out whatever is necessary for the paycheck and fade back into your life of doing watercolors of ducks from your porch? Efb: George Miller obviously does rad watercolors of apocalyptic struggle and violence from his porch and does not fit my lovely hypothetical Pissed Ape Sexist fucked around with this message at 05:19 on Jun 4, 2019 |

I couldn't give less of a gently caress if Ridley Scott wants to use the Alien franchise to tell a story about a Mad Scientist Android playing God or doing a dark-as-gently caress version of Chariots of Fire where we go to meet our Creators and they're inscrutable Lovecratfian idiots. Just do it well. He's Ridley-loving-Scott. He could demand better screenplays. Why doesn't he?

I feel like that's both the correct take and an unanswerable question, duder. We live in the sad times of cash-outs and unlimited cheap CGI.

So in addition to Aliens, I also like Predators. I also like action figures because I am a For the past 9 years, NECA (and action figure company) has been cranking out Predator figures, in addition to other stuff. A loving lot of Predator figures. While I intentionally haven’t bought every single one they’ve made, I do have a shitload of them, and I think they’re pretty cool. Believe it or not those are all unique “individuals” from across the Predator franchise (with two exceptions), and they’re all sourced from myriad things like the movies, comics, video games, and even a fan film. What you’re looking at, in no particular order - the “main” Predators from Predator 1, Predator 2, and The Predator - the three from ‘Predators’, and the “classic” Predator they captured - all of the Predators from the end of ‘Predator 2’ - the main three from ‘AvP’, and one of the ones from the flashback scene - 7 from the comics - the one from the Predator: Concrete Jungle videogame - 9 remakes of the old 90s Kenner toys - the 3 Predators at the end of the “Batman: Dead End” fan film There’s four others I’ve got in a box somewhere and I’m not sure where they are. tl;dr - Predators are cool too.
