When it first came out you had an option to listen to the dialogue in actual Comanche, with English subs e: I never understood the hatred for this film. I think it’s great, and I’d buy a copy on Blu if they released it.

Prey was awesome, easily the third best in the series. Only issue I had was that it seemed a little too…clean. The first two Predator movies were a lot more grimy/grainy, which was the style at the time.

Production design standards changing seem to have changed a lot, and it's like they don't want films to get as gritty and messy as they used to. The switch from film to digital, and the need to make each frame is pristine as possible also contributes. Evocative lighting has seemingly become a lost art, and now everything looks like it has safe sitcom lighting.

I know it was just done because That's How Movies Look now but for the setting and time period it was a nice contrast to how the present day flicks look.

Evocative lighting has seemingly become a lost art, and now everything looks like it has safe sitcom lighting. IDK if I'd agree that the move to high-resolution digital has done away with evocative lighting and 'grit', just that for a lot of us that 'grit' is so strongly associated with film grain and stark contrast that seeing a higher degree of fidelity doesn't feel that way to us; the lighting and shot composition in Nolan's Batman (and other) films is certainly 'gritty' to me, as well Villeneuve's whole oeuvre has some serious grit in ways I can't put a finger on. This is getting dangerously close to another analog vs. digital debate though so all I'll say is that I liked how Prey did have some 'grit' in it - in the contrast of the dirty Frenchman fur trappers against the, for lack of a better term, purity and dignity of the Comanche tribe.

Outland trip report: Took me a very long time to get around to watching it, but I enjoyed it a lot. Even though it's not explicitly set in the same universe as Alien, it drat well could be. The company in the movie (Con-Am) could very easily be another competitor to Weyland-Yutani, like Seegson was in Alien: Isolation. And the aesthetic and mood that Peter Hyams went for compares very well against the look Ridley Scott achieved with Alien. I read an interview with Hyams where he was talking about being offered 2010: The Year We Make Contact, and he said he would only do the movie if he had Kubrick's blessing. One day Kubrick called him, and when they got on the phone the first thing Kubrick did was ask Hyams a bunch of questions about Outland: how were the SFX achieved, how did he decide on a certain shot, what kind of lenses did he use, and so on (and when Hyams eventually got around to asking him if he was ok with Hyams making a sequel to 2001, Kubrick's reponse was "oh sure, no problem, just make it your film is all I ask").

I'm in New Zealand and I can watch it on my Disney+. I can't get Ravenous unless I use a VPN though, which is annoying. Oddly enough, that film shot to number 1 at the Kiwi box office back when it was released in 1999, so you'd think it would be available down here, yet here we are.

Prey is on Disney+ on all markets except the US, where it's on Hulu. I'm just happy watchw.me streamed it with the Comanche audio.

Cessna posted:Yeah, it really is in the same universe. The station itself is mentioned in the book and is on the map of the galaxy also IIRC, there's also a character/creator names (like Officer Hyams) here and there. Also while not a major aspect of the game by default, the balance of drug trade across the colonies of both the recreational and "this lets you work way harder/whatever" is given more prominence than I was expecting in the Alien RPG book and it felt very Outland-adjacent to me with regards to the balance of how much corporations officially give a poo poo about that or not vs. making more money/etc. I really love that flick.

Gorman and Burke are the human antagonists, and they are introduced together, as a pair. But in the end, Gorman is a Marine and goes out like a Marine, and Burke is a corporate piece of poo poo.

I loved Gorman’s mini-arc. At the first briefing you wouldn’t have really expected him to go back in for Vas like that. Vas was even the one saying “we don’t leave our people behind!” about Apone/Dietrich after they got carted off to become parents, and he lived up to that in the end.

At the end of the day, Gorman's biggest failings were that he was lacking in experience which made him overcompensate by being such a stickler for formality and rules, and that he lacked the ability to think flexibly on his feet, e.g., him overcomplicating instructions to Apone over the radio, and freezing under pressure when poo poo was really hitting the fan at an even greater rate than it was a few minutes ago. It doesn't make him a bad person, it just made him a bad leader that had potential to grow into the role.

Probably helped by Al Matthews being a former marine, William Hope loving nailed the “inexperienced LT in over his head” role. I love that he came back to be the voice of Marshal Waits in Alien: Isolation too
