just watched this movie and my thoughts exactly.

What I never understood is this angle that blade runner and alien universes should be merged most that like blade runner love the deeper concepts of humanity while most that like alien want nothing human to the monsters in the dark. RS screwed the pooch making the space jockey just another human being in a suit and mask it saps all the mystique away and then proceeds to inject more of humanities worst elements in the form of a stupid crew of "experts" failing to be remotely expert on anything they're an expert on the geologist mapper guy getting lost and biologist playing poke the cobra pussy worm thing while talking baby gibberish to it or the whole gang deciding to take their helmets off. Lets not forget we didn't get much of a sophisticated answer from the most advanced species in the known universe and have him behave like a murderous caveman showcasing some seriously advanced reasoning skills **BARF**. If there was a point to making the jockey human it was to incorporate our own flaws just to push forth another monster except the bald white guys don't seem too intimidating they look more like body builder mimes. Ridley Scott thinks Prometheus is a stroke of genius is proof enough to me that he's actually a clown so in love with their own comedy. I was one of those alien fans prometheus called back but afterward I never returned even with the Alien moniker and I think its rather unfair to just accuse Alien fans of attending Covenant Need I remind you the advertising behind Prometheus was targeting fans of the Original Alien film who else would be excited upon seeing the likeness of the derelict ship or similar image of the space jockey heck even the trailers sound for prometheus mimics that of teh original trailer so it was definitely targeting real alien fans you cannot dispute that. This new blood nonsense came because they either never saw the original Alien and didn't know the association with those images but that would be a minority unless they're die hard Michael Fassbender fans I would surmize it was mostly original Alien film fans that populated seats in Prometheus. The only ones who showed up to covenant are those losers who remotely appreciated Prometheus because I seen its advertisements and there front and center is the xenomorph so give us original Alien fans some more credit for avoiding the franchise trappings of covenant I smelt the bullshit in Prometheus I wasn't going to lick that arsehole for the second act.

The DNA, of Scorcese for sure and forever, The car assassination at the end overacted, was that Steven Prince kissing the pistol before firing?, can't find his credit anywhere. very small part, then Dinero spazzing out too much, but hey it was the end of the movie.

Woke up to you describing airheads. Been too long since i watched that. So many times growing up though. The ONLY sandler character thats tolerable.

Ridley scott is the only director with such high accolades that will come in, and make straight to dvd quality sequels for his own acclaimed franchises lol or allow someone else to. Cameron is a fucking hack loser who shouldnt be allowed to touch anyone elses IP. Meaning he would never be able to make movies lol! Dude likes ws Anderson movies ffs. Thinks avp is good smh. Aside from that scott makes the worst of the sequels. Despite fox 3 turned out ok with the assembly cut. 4 has the best body horror, and cast. Prometheus wouldve been redeemed if scott didnt let the criticism change his entire plan, and churn out covenant as a shit action flick, but he did, so those two are fuck awful. Blade runner fans hate that the canon IS that ford is a replicant, and the sequel was meh. Did scott direct that though? Now we are getting gladiator 2, with new york accented denzel smh. Dude has more losses than wins atp? If you count the shit he signs off on.

Definitely some supernatural elements. Always knew.

Very good honest analysis! Alien & Aliens are classics in their own right and were original. J Cameron excuted a vision in a talented and creative way, while balancing the need to maintain continuity of the franchise on the one hand, and steering it legitimately in a new direction on the other. To my mind the Alien franchise ended with Alien 3. Given that the 3rd was a nighmare in terms of its flaws and how it was compromised, but also by the same token it is noteworthy that Fincher really fought hard to save it. Whatever followed thereafter was really just boring, unimaginative and was made just for the sake of expanding the franchise at all costs. In movies we are increasingly seeing a very noticeable decline in artistic content and that speaks of the shortage of talented Sci-Fi authors (in this genre specifically) in our time compared to like the early 50s, 60s,70s and 80s. In no short measure this is a reflection in the decline in our culture for the appreciation of education and any respect or interest in science and skills development. Every one wants to be famous and rich, quickly. The reason why Alien is a classic now, is because there had been a monumental amount of work across the board already been done before R Scott even showed up. He was the 5th director to be on board, who finally agreed to take it on. The story however was already in progress and refinement for two years by that stage! Quality required passion and that engenders the desire to excell! The franchise has been irreversibly fouled up beyond recognition by the meddlings fingers of R Scott et al. My advice to ScottFree: Get decent (seasoned) Sci-Fi authors, who care about the Alien Lore & Franchise, and f*&%ing pay them well for their talent, then keep your hands off the story development and script! None of that human origins and black jizz bullshit, please! That was a shameless copy-and-paste from 2001: A Space Odyssey, and the X-Files respectively.

Watched the Alien: Covenant review and loved it so I watched this video and enjoyed it as well!

Men will stop a serial killer’s reign of terror before going to therapy

I grew up and still . live in Scotland so I never saw the original Brady Bunch. I loved the films though. You recognized the tropes and the the style even if you hadn't seen the tv series. Gary Cole especially was good, and the girl who played Jan. ' Marcia, Marcia, Marcia'😂

What's a Wherewoof? 😅

This is a great in depth look at this film. I see it once a year and everytime I watch it I found new things. Saludos desde Argentina! sorry for my english!

It’s a great 90’s movie. Even though it poked major fun at the original show, it also clearly respected it. I’d also classify this and the sequel as legitimate 90’s grunge movies - there was a lot of grunge atmosphere around the movie.

Flying in my dreams was exhilarating and sublime, but then I always fly to high, then I become anxious, cause I am afraid of falling. Lol.

To me, Lydia Tar didn’t feel like a victim of cancel culture but more like karma finally catching up to her and holding her accountable for all of her bad behaviors. She caused her own downfall in the end but she’s too much of a narcissist to realize that and would rather see herself as the victim! I really did not like her character at all, but I still think that Cate Blanchett’s performance was really incredible and probably her best!

Just say you don’t like the film, you don’t have to make up excuses

I used to think fassbender was a good actor but then I realized he plays the same block of wood no expression dude in every role he has ever been in. This film literally relies on the gimmick of his acting being so bad that you cant tell the difference between two different characters he plays.

I luv the book and movies for years and revolve my perspective around them

What movie?

I watched O Lucky Man and loved here

I'm late to this one, but I'm very interested in what Pat said about the Writer's Strike not accomplishing much. I'd like to look into it, but I'm not sure where to begin or what to search.

I want to hear want you think about Alien Romulus if you watch it

Never watched this when I was young. Started to finally try to about an hour, and it feels sssooo long and so cringy. I know it was praised when it first came out, but I'm like, "ugh". It's just so try-hard lame with it's quirky-ness. Parts of it are promising but it feels meh overall.

Capeshit

I'm 40; Movie theaters had much more of a place when the world was more of a monoculture/shared experiences, and also missing the movie in theaters meant you had to wait 7 months for it to be released on home video. Also, people get their entertainment in bite-sized form ala TikToks, memes, etc. Sitting down to watch a 2 1/2 hour traditionally-structured story is a hard sell for people in their 20s today where their phones give them instant access to loud noises and funny faces.

Think for me it felt more lack all the rapid and disorienting cutting in the fire fight was more a visual representation of the psychosis they both locked in. Out of all Mann films because fan, Manhunter seems the most layered and cerebral with psychological and meaning. Mann spoken about the film with very clear desire of deeply diving into the psychology of cops and criminals. They also spoke with actual serial killer and FBI.

Can we not read too much into Twister? Youre actually making a case for Twister to be one of the greatest disaster movies ever made... not some supernatural thriller

Pat, you're not crazy. You're right. Like you always are!

Read the book. The book is darker than the movie.

The original PTA

I loved this movie but the (spoiler) innocent girl in the back seat getting taken advantage of was bad bad bad. Then the death scene was something else. And then it ends?!?!?!?!? But God, it’s in another place in time- did it exist? Kind of. I don’t know. Was born in 89’ but the movie does have something to it and there was subsequently a 2001 disco in my town back in the day

Sorry bro, you’re off with this one. Does it have suspense? Does it give you chills like a horror movie? Yes it does but it’s not a horror movie.

One of my all time favorite movies

As a kid who grew up in a trailer park in the south, it’s DEFINITELY a horror movie 😂

Watched it last week and I agree.

7th Heaven was the Brady Bunch of the 90s They should spoof that next

Nasa would buy the tech

I mean, they added animal-like noises to give the tornadoes personality.

Every time I watch Godzilla (2014) I get chills when the shore crawls back into the sea and the people realize a tsunami is coming. After the news stories and footage from the 2004 and 2011 earthquakes and tsunamis I have this deep instinctual horror reaction to the idea of seeing the ocean pull away like that, knowing that a wall of water you can't outrun is coming for you. I don't think any of the subsequent Godzilla movies use that same natural disaster horror motif, but I found it to be very effective.

Hes a "human barometer"

I thought that when everyone was at Aunt Megs house and Jo was staring down at her art while it moved with the wind and Aunt Meg just said "He's here isn't he?" Referencing her fathers spirit being with her

I really like the opening logo bit. Took me all the way back to 1988. Good job.

If you look at the scene where they introduce the rival tornado chasers, you’ll see David Dastmalchian, who stared in “Late night with the Devil” and is Polkadot man in “suicide squad”

For some reason, back in the 90s I had wild crush on Helen Hunt. Lol

shite

Excellent commentary and analysis! I haven't seen it since I saw it in the theater! Yes, I am that old. I was not 20, but I was old enough to remember it. I remember it being awesome. I'll have to give it a re-watch.

Thoughts on vultures 2?
