I never finished Westworld or House of Cards, but definitely love the earlier seasons of both shows

The last season of House of Cards is kinda meh. Spacey was going through all that legal shit, and it was kind of sloppy how they wrote him out. Still a good show though.

My 22 year old nephew is staying with me this weekend, he’s never seen any alien movies so I think I’m gonna make him have a marathon with me then take him to Romulus

I've been rewatching them all for the umpteenth time. I love them all!

Starting the 4th season of Boardwalk Empire.

You know Prometheus was a masterpiece when this is the biggest complaint

Watching the Metal School episode for Testament. This fucking band is so goddamned good

No, they are fucking spectacular. Just look up how old Alex Skolnick was when he did the first two records.

Lots of Aliens talk. I saw the first movie when it came out, and barely remember it. No others since. Does the new movie stand on its own, or do I have to do my homework and watch some/ all of the preceding films to properly enjoy it?

That movie was total bullshit.

There wasn't one single Romulan in the entire show.

This what I am doing with my teenagers. Already watched Romulus and catching up to the latter sequels and Prometheus/Convenant.

So far so good

Lots of Aliens talk. I saw the first movie when it came out,

On acid.
Wasn't right for days afterwards.

HUGE gripe with Alien:

Your ship mate wanders around an alien vessel and gets attacked by an organism which attaches itself to his face,
bleeds acid, and sticks its 18" dick down his throat. Days pass.....

Organism detaches itself and dies.

"WE MUST KEEP KANE IN ISOLATION AND RUN TESTS TO MAKE SURE HE'S NOT INFECTED IN ANY WAY!!!"




"But let's all grab some noodles first......"

HUGE gripe with Alien:

Your ship mate wanders around an alien vessel and gets attacked by an organism which attaches itself to his face,
bleeds acid, and sticks its 24" dick down his throat. Days pass.....

Organism detaches itself and dies.

"We'd better keep Kane in full isolation and run a massive battery of tests to check that he's not infected in any way!!!!!!"




"But let's all grab some noodles for lunch first."

 

[Achilles]

Hey, did you guys know that Ridley Scott didn't tell the cast about the sprays of blood
going everywhere when the Alien busted out of Kane's chest? It wasn't used during rehearsals.

The reactions by the cast as they gets splattered are 100% legit - no acting.

Finished this up. YT'r had almost no appreciation for 90s Testament which is dumb as fuck. As well as claiming Souls of Black was their best album which is asinine. It was a good watch nonetheless.

Enjoyed Romulus

Was on an intentional information blackout so actually was very surprised that this was a sequel and not a prequel I’m still slightly unclear on timeline - did this take place after alien 3 or in between alien and aliens?

But yeah cool film and the first time I’ve been to a movie theater in maybe a decade? When did theaters get so fancy? Fully reclined footrest haptic feedback comfy material for $10 ? Full service bar? Why haven’t I been going to theaters lol I used to go to this theater all my child hood and it was never like this back then

Aesthetic/vibe/pacing much closer to the OG alien films than the prequels. But since I watched covenant this morning a bit disappointed that I don’t get to find out what happens with David and company

When did theaters get so fancy?

The whole Covid thing forced them all to try harder to bring folks in.

One thing not seeing inflation pricing either… this was cheaper than matinees used to be ages ago when I was going to movies lot

 

[Los-D]

between alien and aliens?
