Its been a while since I have seen it so you might be right. I liked the tone of it. I liked the relationship between Ripley and the Doctor, I liked the religious themes and the prison setting and I liked how Ripley realized how her destiny was tied up to the fate of the Alien. But there were a lot of whatever…

Which is fine, but that TIE Fighter is hours of post production so it def. comes from somewhere. If they had the time, they could have found a way to work those cool images into the film. David Lynch famously shoots random shit that pops into his head and usually finds a way to work them into the film in a way that…

No, it wasn't.

I don't know. It just annoys the piss out of me how rushed these movies are. Its Star Wars, people are going to break records to see it no matter what, just spend some time on making it good. I don't get why they are so half assed. The visuals are killer, the tone is good, the design is good, but they fuck the…

To me that's kind of worse. That means they only care about surface images and have no problem hood winking the audience on a product they know is shit. Lucas was right when he said he sold his babies off to a bunch of slavers. Reanimating Corpses to throw in your spectacle as spectacle, fuck them.

As someone who saw Alien 3 young and at a time I forgot most of the plot of Aliens. Alien 3 is actually pretty good. As long as it is totally divorced from Aliens, it is good on its own.

I'm a blast. I just don't like people going "Oh no, not another reboot/sequel, but I kind of like ::insert minor element in trailer:: so I will see it anyway" STOP GIVING THEM MONEY!

Oh what a shock, they spent all their time making sure they got the movie out by Christmas and relied on the name brand where they realized the story is totally secondary. They aren't getting a penny from me.

God that scene is awful.

Not it isn't. She can say "yeah it's okay to use my image after I am dead" but it is literally impossible for her to consent and approve of the finished product. She cannot know what they intend to do with her image because she can never see the completed project. So people should probably err on the side of not…

Just because someone can consent to something doesn't mean it isn't icky and weird and probably shouldn't be consented to (I say this as a sex positive person).

Not at all anti-progessive. Technology in and of itself is not progress.

I didn't know that!!! UUGGGHHH

I never heard those terms. Will google later when any ounce of hope in humanity emerges in myself that needs to be wiped away.

Also blew up an American child with no Due Process. That said, being the president is a complex position that demands that you be responsible for the deaths of people. It is how you manage that which you will be judged by.

Both of those movies suck. Even Arrival (though I very much enjoy it), is kind of hokey and weak in spots. He's talking about having a transcendental experience through film. That's extremely rare and I can see how it is more rare today. Though this was a great year for movies. The Handmaiden, The Love Witch, The…

Its very good. I never had much interest in him and I was always put off by his persona, but the documentary does a great job showing many phases of his life and getting across how much a flawed, singular person he was and just how much he accomplished that you couldn't help but respect him.

This is exactly what they should do. "But she's the only one to ever play her!!" Yeah…until the facts of reality got in the way? This isn't an actor losing interest in a part or a demand for more money. It is literal death. Fucking Christ people, get some perspective.

Sean Connery was James Bond, until he wasn't. Are the situations exactly analogous? No. But Sean Connery is alive. Carrie Fisher is dead. No amount of wishing is going to change that. If things are set up in a way in 8 where you need to have Princess Leia, recast it. If you can do a work around that isn't…

No but you could rewrite it. It depends what happens on screen in 8. If they set something up where they need to use Leia, recast the role. Is it Iconic? Yes. But things change. Having a dead actor is a big incentive to necessitate that change. Death happens and our plans for entertainment are subject to…
