Ahh yes the "real people are stupid, so the plot whole doesn't exist defence". Screw that. Crudup is intelligent enough to threaten David with a gun, there was at least one Neomorph inside the building, how many more might there have been? That and the reasons above make it stupid he lowers his guard and sticks his

Was I the only one who loved David nuking the Engineers? It felt like he- the best part of Prometheus- was wiping all the other garbage from that film from existence. Take THAT you chariots-of-the-gods bullshit. Noomi Rapace being an unfortunate civilian casualty LoL.

At least Ripley states there ARE quarantine procedures which she tries to follow. Dallas and the Android overrule her, both of whom have understandable motivations for their actions- Dallas is a glorified tug boat captain in over his head who is letting his emotions for his crew cloud his judgement/the Android wants

That was monumentally dumb, but I'd never be afraid to admit it. So is the gratuitous up-panty shot of her getting in the space suit.

Except a lot of the dumb stuff is due to staging (Crudup sticking his face in the egg/the dude in Prometheus with the snake) Plus a director can get rewrites of lines/scenes during filming of they're stupid or don't make sense. In fact, that's his fucking JOB.

I liked this movie, but pretending there aren't stupid parts is ridiculous.

I not have a problem a problem with investigsting a potential garden world, but not dealing with the quarantine/infection issue is ridiculous. The two could have had the crew fire some probes at the planet and be like "well theyve scanned and there's no hazardous diseases" and then explained that the Black Spores were

And not wear hazmat suits until you've categorically proven that there isn't some version of the flu or something that could kill your whole crew. Remember what happened to Native Americans when Europeans came? Imagine an entirely foreign PLANET'S ecosystem.

There's also one of those drinking bird gadgets on the table, like there was on the Nostromo.

Although I like fast zombies, I agree on the Neomorph thing. When the Xeno appeared I was like "How are facehuggers superior to spores?

Aliens eat Man> Woman inherits the Earth

I liked this one, but the Crudup thing could have been such an easy fix. Have David keep talking to Crudup then suddenly android-speed up to him, grab him by the back of the head, and FORCE his face into the egg.

Yeah, they fight BULLDOZERS!

Yeah, you could almost see him licking his lips when he asked how many people were on the ship. The man wanted more raw materials, now he has it…

It is.

LoL the Mob pressured them? That's hilarious.

Interesting.

I want you to find this nancy-boy Ghost of Eazy E, I want him DEAD! I want his family DEAD! I want his house burned to the GROUND! I wanna go there in the middle of the night and I wanna PISS ON HIS ASHES!

If things escalate that quickly, shouldn't everyone in Chicago be dead by now?

That theme is fucking epic. I know I'm probably a philistine, but how is it that film scores give me goosebumps and move me in ways that traditional classical music never does? Particularly stuff by Morricone or Thomas Newman…
