This sounds a little too much like that sitcom about the Geico cavemen hipsters, but on the other hand, it is Seth Meyers, so maybe it'll be good?

True, 80's sci-fi movies are filled with allegory for the Vietnam war, from Ewoks to Xenomorphs. Still, Lucas was a little more subtle about it here; he didn't start giving his aliens almond-shaped eyes and offensive accents until the prequels. Not that I was making a serious argument against the pan-pipe song. It is

Sad to hear. I subscribed for Harmonquest, but Take My Wife and Shrink were easily among the best recent shows I've seen. Hope they can find a new home. Bajillion Dollar Properties is fun too.

Yub Nub grows on you. Yeah, it is stupid when you first hear it, but the Ewoks are kinda stupid, so it fits. The pan pipe replacement music was good, but c'mon, the Ewok's aren't Peruvian. This isn't the prequels, where every alien race was a thinly-veiled, often insulting version of a nationality.

The guy starts an experimental short film project with his in-house studio that gets nothing but positive coverage and you view this as a failure? Sure, Chappie was a mess that probably cost him the Alien sequel (along with Ridley Scott's success with The Martian), but if anything, the quality and creativity of these

Ha, I guess you are right about it not being a rom com. It is fiction though.

How about Memoirs of a Geisha? All of a sudden we are to believe the Chairman loved Sayuri all along, from when he met her as a little girl? And he stays married too? Nobu was the better choice by far, and the more interesting character.

Considering they made out in Empire, I really doubt Lucas had planned them to be siblings from the start, despite what he says publicly. Maybe that line would have introduced a new character, but instead I think he saw how positive the reaction to the Vader-as-Luke's father reveal was and thought, "this will be even

I unapologetically like the ewoks, and their awesome theme music. I dock RotJ more points for making Leia and Luke siblings. We all except it as a thing now, but it really turned their friendship into a dumb cosmic coincidence.

Play as the most badass space bounty hunter in the galaxy who can't use her powers because a man didn't give her permission.

Yeah those are all good points. Even considered as a more feral version, the actions of the Xenos heredidn't make much sense. Immediately after bursting from a chest they grow to full size and endless chase any humans in sight. It's like the writers didn't trust their audience to have the attention span for anything

I liked the scene where he was just a head with lungs and a hand.

Well the film was originally to be titled Alien: Paradise Lost, the humans and the aliens are now both intelligently designed and the "better to rule in hell" Lucifer-esque android gets stabbed with a cross, so you don't really have to read between the lines to find the Christian themes in these movies.

According to their account, when the reporter asked for their names as witnesses, immediately after the assault, they were "too shocked" to say anything in response.

I wrote about this in another page, far after people stopped commenting, but I was really disappointed in the movie. Having the Xenomorphs created in a test tube makes them very un-alien. It's also more of the same intelligent design crap from Prometheus. It should be called Alien: Creationism. The pale pre-xenos that

Covenant will make you hate Prometheus more in retrospect. Turns out distancing Prometheus from the rest of the Alien mythology was the one thing keeping it forgivable.

He was absolutely lying about liking Shaw and the unrivaled "kindness" he received from her. Remember she asked "why the fuck would I help you?" to him at the end of Prometheus and only did so when he said he could fly the engineers' ships. In response to him saying he didn't understand her obsession with tracking

I had a lot of problems with the movie, despite going into it hoping it was only slightly better than Prometheus, which I thought was dumb, thinly-veiled creationist propaganda. Turns out not even the xenomorphs are allowed the possibility of being an evolved species. Nope, intelligently designed by an android. Can I
