The link between the Trinity test and the Black Lodge/Dark Mother co-mingling to spew forth BOB and all manner of assorted spirits brings to mind one of the final lines from Lynch's Lost Highway, where Dick Laurent tells Fred Madison, in the presence of the (Lodge-like) Mystery Man: "We can really outugly them…

Weirdly enough, just a few days ago I saw someone on Reddit saying the same thing happened to ABC News when an anti-Trump section was aired.

David Giler, writer on The Parallax View, was one of Alien's producers and co-writers.

That Verhoeven never made a Judge Dredd movie is an absolute cinematic shame. Of course, Robocop was close enough, and I wouldn't trade it for anything else… but still, Verhoeven was so right for Dredd's violence and satire.

There's an argument to be made that the art and artist can be separated… but not, I think, when the artist is committing his crime to film.

Maher is merely pandering to his audience.

I was always grateful for the SOTC HD remaster because I could finally move Wander around fairly quickly without the game stuttering like a slideshow (I completed it on the PS2 originally, years ago, but had many bad memories of how it underperformed.) Same for the DMC HD re-release: the original PAL version was…

There have been so many stories shared in the last few days, it's been utterly shocking to read or listen to — but absolutely necessary to hear.

That's fair enough; some prefer it over the theatrical cut, and you know the eternal Aliens theatrical vs Special Edition debate. But it's a fair counter-example in a discussion, I think (where it's fun to compare differing views on canon, so long as people don't take it too seriously.)

Not to shill for myself or anything, but check my site for more stuff on ALIEN if you're into it: https://alienseries.wordpre…

Unless you count the Alien 3 assembly cut, where Aaron 85 asks Ripley what he should call the Alien itself (rather than an 'alien' or 'monster' or 'beast') in his message to Weyland-Yutani, and she replies "it's called a Xenomorph." It's rather more specific than the scene in Aliens where the term is first raised.

It's a joke alluding to The Long Tomorrow, a comic strip written by Dan O'Bannon (who wrote Alien) and drawn by Moebius. In the strip, an Arcturian is a shapeshifting alien that mimics a beautiful blonde woman to have sex with the protagonist — and it transforms into a mass of tentacles mid-coitus.

Take a look at how the Chinese portray the British in pretty much any of their movies. The last two installments in the popular Ip Man series has several hilarious British stereotypes in them.

"perpetually unintelligible"

That wasn't Aery's secret stash: that was wildfire Cersei tasked the pyromancers with making, which Tyrion happened to take advantage of (Cersei's plan involved wildfire catapults, which could've burned down the city and its defenders.)

There was a certain joy in hatewatching Dexter as it crashed and burned, and then coming here to roast it.

There fact that we're in the Riverlands, and the Brotherhood without Banners has gotten nastier; that's it! Not much at all, as per.

"if we set ours in 2018, which is when Predator 2 is set"

It's a shame that entertainment outlets and dogmatic ASOIAF fans have ruined the chances of Stoneheart ever being a surprise.

If they're filming in Scotland then I'm afraid most of the extras will already turn up drunk.
