Ridley is such a hack. Got jealous of blokamp's project and now he's scrambling to put together another terrible prequel. Maybe he'll go full Lucas and make a third to cap off this nonsensical arc he started.

He's apparently planning two more. The third is greenlit and is scheduled to begin filming in 2018. The two additional films are supposed to explain who made the Xenomorphs and why, and will set up the events leading to Alien. That's what I heard anyway.

Yeah, it was just that someone said he was a hack. Assumingly because Prometheus was made, therefore everything he's ever done is now bad.


Hey, someone make a Starship Troopers thread. I'm watching it now and it's just so brilliant. I'm too lazy.

Alien Resurrection was my least favorite. Alien 3 was Citizen Kane in comparison in my opinion.

Actually I like Alien 3 now. After watching the directors cut a few times I began to like it. There is no redemption for what they did to Hicks and Newt but I can't change that as much as I want to. The rest of the movie isn't so bad though. Ripley is one badass motherfucker.

iirc rippley is a hybrid herself in that one because they reconstructed her from her dna + the one from the alien inside her, which also makes no sense

it's not as bad as people make it out to be but it doesn't feel like an alien movie. it's like they used a script they had lying around and put an alien in it

Yeah I get that. It was very... bizarre. Also it didn't help that they had some sort of sepia filter glued to the camera.

Woah, didn't realize David Fincher directed it. That explains a little.

I saw a lot of super patronising comments in CD about Prometheus, such as "people expected an Alien movie, that's why they were disappointed"

Whereas I think infact people expected a movie as good as Alien.

I don't much like Ridleys comment that he's going to crank out Alien movies now, I'd prefer it if he said he was going to crank out really good movies. I have no problem at all with Prometheus "not being an Alien movie".

I permanently gave up on CD years ago when I realized that criticizing SMG's posts in any way was a quick way to lose ten bucks.

Prometheus was a disappointment because the involvement of Ridley Scott and the visuals of the ads set expectations sky high. When it delivered characters acting as though they were in a Friday the Thirteenth movie, people were rightly disappointed.

"As good as Alien" is about the only Alien series-based metric Prometheus doesn't live up to.
