Where's Roger Sterling?

Doesn't work. The camera takes a picture of whatever it's pointed at, just in the future. So unless the picture was taken in the actual jail cell he would occupy, it couldn't show that scene.

This is more like a fruit rollup: colorful and fake, enjoyable when you're a child but nausea-inducing over a certain age.

Care to link to your work? Or would you rather not have this account associated with your professional image?

Studio 60 on the Mobius Strip didn't live up to its predecessor, The Trefoil Wing.

R.I.P.L.E.Y.

Ralph McQuarrie was doing his best work on Star Wars around the same time.

Well, he is in Snyder's Man of Steel.

I liked Abadah too, and the part where the Titanic sinks was great.

There isn't an Aliens backlash per se, but you can't deny the massive Cameron backlash, which seems to ignore his early successes.

Nice avatar change, @avclub-b3998da088b9770eb22501e496b6200e:disqus . Who will you become next, Tyrion?

Yeah, well… that's the director's cut. I'm willing to give a director more credit if the extended cut improves on the theatrical, but if the theatrical is better, I don't count that against them. Compromising on your vision when it's the right thing to do is part of what makes someone a good artist.

Alien, for all its accomplishments, is pretty silly at times. It gets by largely on atmosphere. None of 'em are above reproach, but the first two are still enjoyable and well-made.

James Horner, to provide workmanlike accompaniment.

That's totally inappropriate. It's lewd, lascivious, salacious, outrageous!

Looks like Team Hubble Maintenance Crew is blasting off again.

Neutron wedgie!
