Nolan Posted Saturday at 01:25 AM Posted Saturday at 01:25 AM Over the past weekend binged the hell through the Alien franchise. Alien-Great Aliens-Great Alien 3-Good (fight me) Alien Resurrection-GARBAGE (where’s the sicko on here that places it above 3? We need to schedule a fight!) Prometheus-(Skipped this time since it’s recently watched but it’s)good Alien Covenant-Bleeeeh. Alien Romulus-Not terrible nearly good, until that scene that is inexplicably dumb and awful and you know the one and if you defend it….wow. New Years was recent US Godzilla vs/X Kong movies with the fam. Fine but definitely kept thinking I could just watch Pacific Rim. Exactly this moment, Blade Runner 2048- in progress. 1

The hilarious part is I can't tell if you meant to type '2049' or if you're watching the 5-minute prequel, 2048 (which I guess would be over by the time of my reply) Edited Saturday at 01:33 AM by Julius 1

I enjoyed it more than 3 and 1. Although I didn't like the first film because I had friends that told me every single detail about it before I saw it, so I couldn't get into it knowing so much about it. I also have a soft spot for Resurrection because the crew in it is made up of prototype Firefly characters.

I used to rate the first film very highly but after you know what it is they are dealing with, the film loses a lot of its appeal and I just end up feeling bored every time I've watched it again. The only issue I have with Resurrection is the design of the alien at the end. Other than that, I find it quite enjoyable and I love the banter between all the crew members. Ron Pearlman really hams it up and shines in this movie.
Happenstance Posted Saturday at 09:22 AM Posted Saturday at 09:22 AM I enjoy the first half of Resurrection, the second half not so much. The first Alien movie is still my favourite, much prefer the single threat. If I had to rank them it would probably go: Alien Aliens Alien 3 Alien Romulus (might have been higher but I find the fan service distracting to the point it started to ruin the movie for me) Prometheus Alien Resurrection Alien Covenant

I have no idea why I wrote 2048 because I was watching the original. Just half paying attention and went “yeah that’s the title that makes sense” 🤦♂️ 2
Cube Posted Saturday at 11:10 PM Posted Saturday at 11:10 PM I watched Wicked Part 1 tonight. I saw the musical itself last July and enjoyed it and the movie is a really good adaptation. They don't mess around with the story (just add a few background details), instead just using the advantage of film to display amazing environments and tell some stuff in a more visual way. I was most surprised by Jeff Goldblum, who was actually acting in this and not speaking in his usual elongated voice. 1
BowserBasher Posted 17 hours ago Posted 17 hours ago @Cube Yup, musical is one of my favourites and I was surprised that they stuck as closely to it as they did. I knew it was based off that and not the book itself but I had heard that they were going to add a bit more from the book (which I thought would be more of the stuff when Elphaba was still a child) but they really didn't. No bad thing as it still worked just as well. Did you catch the two cameo appearances during the Wizomania song? I didn't know about that and thought it was a nice way to have them both included.
