Hey I didn't say any of them were worth reading nowadays. Teenage-me thought the books were pretty cool at the time but I also haven't read any of them in well over a decade.

This is the best part of the prologue:



I hope David gets a lot of screen time in Covenant, he's the main reason I'll be watching the film.

Well if you lower your expectations to "Fassbender plays an android" he should be in the movie a lot.

I liked that one photo of David and Walter with black/white outfits. David is totally going to seduce himself to the dark side.

Alien is more of a beemer fan.

David doesn't always drink beer when he's genociding space engineer people but when he does he prefers the smooth taste of dos equis.

Teenage-me thought the books were pretty cool at the time.

In ALIENS Ripley, in a last ditch effort to even the odds between herself and the gargantuan Alien Queen, straps herself into a Power Loader. A futurisitc version of a fork-lift truck. It's clumsy and cumbersome and used mainly for moving boxes of cereal. The pair clash and using her wiles and a heap of good luck, Ripley prevails.

So naturally in the comic books the elite squad of alien hunters ALL WEAR POWER LOADERS! WOOOO!

Also i think in one unused Alien 3 script they all strap into power loaders too. I guess maybe exo-skeleton power armour would be cool and good, but no. All jump in your fork-lifts and let's dance.

I can't really explain why an actor is "good" or whatever but for some reason Fassbender is one of the most watchable actors for me. He is one of those dudes that can elevate any movie he is in.

I mentioned it several pages ago but if you want to see Fassbender playing an undead Nazi occult researcher, he's loving great in 'Blood Creek'.

Does he research undead Nazi occult stuff, or is he a Nazi occult researcher who's undead?

Out of curiosity, would you have been disappointed if it were one and not the other?

The prologue was directed by his son (as was the "Weyland TED Talk" from the Prometheus marketing materials).

Edit- my mistake, there have been two prologues released. The "Last Supper" one was directed by his son, I don't know about the newer one.

Kingdom of Heaven did not suck and I will fight you. You've also constructed quite a strange chain of causation between the films.

Yeah man, that movie he made more than a decade ago has forced him to stick to Alien. The seven non-Alien movies since then count for nothing. Especially not the extremely successful most recent one.

A better reason for Scott revisiting Alien and Blade Runner is that he's an old man with two brothers killed by cancer (indirectly in Tony's case) and he has all these ideas for them that he wants to use before he keels over in the middle of filming something.
