Alien: Covenant

[Beco]

I can taake or leave Prometheus with no problems, and I love Alien 2. IT's honestly my favorite of the franchise.

that scene where she cuts herself open to rid herself, that's heart-wrenching drama at its best

I never liked the Alien movies but Prometheus was awesome.
I'm not sure I want to see Covenant though. I am aggravated by the lack of common sense in movies and then people say to me, "but it's just a movie. You don't need to analyze entertainment."

Yeah, I guess they are correct.

i haven't seen it, but everything i've heard and read says it's at last kinda shit. it's a bad prometheus sequel and a bad alien prequel.

but it's pretty.

oh and fassbender is good because fassbender is just good.

i'm sure i'll watch it at some point and form my own opinion, but i'm not hearing good things at all.

It has some faults that could've been avoided with further tailoring, but they're not distractive. Everything that's good and badass about the film shines over them. Ridley delivered the goods on this joint.

People are being headass about basic shit just because they can. All of a sudden Prometheus fans are popping out of the woods when they weren't around to stand up for the flick when it came out. Covenant explains what Prometheus held back on and actually makes it better in hindsight appreciation. Anyone who gave it a 1 or is throwing canisters of salt was only looking and not really watching.

Also, if they were true fans they'd know that there's two more films in line that's supposed to connect the dots into Alien and not everything is revealed from jump off. Rid gave the deets back when Prometheus came out, but they weren't listening. We're getting real Alien stuff from the source instead of instant crap like the AVP one-offs, but still they complain. Impatient, ingrateful fuckers. Can't please nobody. As JayZ said once, "you want my old shit, buy my old albums!"

george lucas is a name i've been hearing a lot in reviews. just thought i'd put that out there.

oh, did you hear the good news? agents of shield got renewed. mostly because it's an in house production, but that's life. incidentally i've been trying to watch that again, so that's something.

I can definitely say that Covenant is no Phantom Menace. But seeing a chestburster coming out of Jar Jar Binks would be worth a mash-up.

Gotta wait til next year for S5 of Agents, but Inhumans will tide us over, hopefully. Don't really like the Friday schedule move, though.

i was never a fan of the inhumans. lucky for me i can just watch agents if it ever fully catches me.

Love to know where the god damn Alien came from, who created it and why? But what deets are you talking about in Prometheus? the fact that they seeded earth? or came to kill us and why? Prometheus was good but also from Noomi, Charlize, and Idris, all three exuded sexuality on board ship, which brings a hint of reality. What I hate about Hollywood is they make actors use an English/American accent. Why couldn't Idris use his own natural accent? Why make him struggle with an American dialect? Especially in the year 2090??

Prometheus wasn't bad. One can hope a sequel will do justice to the original, so many turn out to be overreaching evolutions into absurdity.

There is no absurdity in science fiction....

At first, I was excited. Now, I have absolutely no desire to see this film, and I want the entire Alien franchise to die horribly.

I think I'll go watch Guardians of the Galaxy 2 instead, and then watch the original Alien when I get home.
