I posted a little about it in the kaiju thread, but in brief: an alien bioweapon escapes to Earth, only two blue collar schlub's with the electric company can stop it. This movie owns and has legit great costumes and puppet stuff for Zeiram's face. I always thought the real zoomed in closeups were just a person with makeup but apparently it's a puppet in every shot. Baller soundtrack too. I like Zeiram 2 a lot also.

I am aware that the cartoon exists and was like, a thing for the mid 90s anime fandom on account of getting a dub when not much did, but honestly if its not low budget live action then I'm not that interested. I'll definitely find time for Zeirem 2, tho.

Easy to play coop PVE game for family board game night, pro recommend, if you can get it for 10 bucks and you like (thinking about) aliems you'd be an absolute moron not to. I payed pretty much MSRP and was happy with it.

I stumbled across a copy at a local place called Bins that has overstock and returned items from Target and Amazon and stuff, that’s how I got it for $10. It was technically opened but it seemed to have everything (the decks were sealed, the character pieces were all there I think, the cardboard bits were not punched out), so unless it was missing an entire deck then it was complete. I tried to cross reference against photos on BoardGameGeek and everything seemed to be there.

WE made a house rule for Fate of the Nostromo that works well. WE marked one of the two Jonesy tiles with a marker and treat it as a facehugger. ANy character who discovers it immediately goes to medbay and stays there (losing their turns) until another character can get there and use a medkit to revive them. It works well, doesn't upset game balance as far as we could tell and adds another little bit of flavor.

I would hope that they will be able to use the show to tie David's story up, assuming we're not going to ever get that movie. But who knows, the show could dissolve away, too.

The Prometheus throughline seems to be to imply a loving awesome next film and deliver a sequel that skips over it. Prometheus > Head and Girl explore the galaxy in search of The Creators Reality: Head turns girl into an egg farm after genociding a planet Covenant > Baddroid has a world of plenty to experiment on survivors with > probably some TV thriller about the corporation looking into aliens of some kind

They've said, as of like two weeks ago, that the show won't feature any legacy characters and is set near the end of the 21st century. As for Prometheus 3 or whatever, that seems dead. It's written, but Covenant's lackluster performance seems to have Disney not at all interested in pursuing it.

If Scott Free is producing then it's certainly possible that some of Ridley's ideas make it in, that's his studio after all.

I’m pretty sure that Disney is planning to wait for Ridley to keel over so they can just make whatever pg-13 overcompromised mess they feel like without having to do damage control from him talking poo poo in interviews that would absolutely happen otherwise

Yeah if it's on Earth I'd rather it be some apocalyptic scenario in which an outbreak fucks up a whole city or the world or something. If it's just some isolated Weyland facility then why not just do it in space? Can't be too tough on the budget to make a bunch of dingy corridors and an occasional CGI background.

Yeah Aliens on Earth sucks unless it’s like a remake/reenvisioning of the dark horse earth hive apocalypse stuff. And that has to take place at least after Aliens. Being on a “planet” or space station would be much more fitting. Near-future earth? That’s some avp poo poo please miss me with that unless it’s avp… And really the og avp comic on the ranch world (or even the avp capcom arcade game with the colony city overrun with xenomorphs) was a much cooler setting than Antarctica or Colorado or whatever.

Things are obviously hosed there's publicly available video of them ripping poo poo up, everyone knows this from like, day one, but, well. It's a big old world. There's only a couple of these weird things way off in Space-China. People just can't imagine it affecting them.

There's also the movie coming to Hulu, directed by the guy who did the Evil Dead remake and produced by Ridley. We don't have as many details about that though.

sigher posted:Unless Earth looks like Blade Runner then I have no interest. Deleted scene from Resurrection shows Paris looking pretty hosed up Johner wasn't kidding when he called Earth a poo poo hole. I hope the TV series goes with this type of setting, with Earth just being a wreck and rather than sparkly clean or modern sets we see everything run down with smaller pockets of civilization scattered around. They don't even need to explain it, people can make reasonable guesses for what went wrong based off current events.

I heard the storyline is W-Y was worried about their investment in the Jugging competition to the point where they pulled funding from their Rollerball team, so their top Death Race driver got extra reckless and accidentally grabbed a box of xeno eggs from the Warehouse and things spiral out of control from there

Earth 80 years from now won't have any cool or good sci-fi stuff, it's unfettered capitalism all the way down and space travel will only be for people like Bezos and Musk.
