What movies are you watching?

[epilogue]

i wish i could watch alien for the first time again

Same

What a great goddamn film.

That opening shot of the underside of the ship... Did this come out before SW? Seems one of the movies was homaging

[LoathedVermin72]

Came out two years later.

I saw Aliens before Alien and I’ve always regretted that.

[epilogue]

Aliens is fine but can't compare to the original.

[LoathedVermin72]

Nah Aliens is way better

[epilogue]

I get why you think that. It's not an absurd opinion.

[epilogue]

Alien
Alien3
Aliens

Though. But I'm not a video game guy.

[LoathedVermin72]

Video game?

[tree_]

Half way through.. very well made and good but I'm pretty bored...

[tree_]

I'm just tired.. gonna go to bed and watch the rest tomorrow

[Ello Sailor]

Alien > Aliens, but it's close. Sorry Jordo.

[epilogue]

Video game?

Aliens shares a lot of aesthetics and sensibilities with video games. Modern video games owe a lot to the film. I think it makes sense that gamers would be more attractived to Aliens.

[Ello Sailor]

I play a shitload of video games and have no idea what parallel you're trying to draw here.

attractived to Aliens.

I do see.

[LoathedVermin72]

Yeah kind of a weird point to make. Are you saying I’m a gamer...?

[tragabigzanda]

Whenever there's active promotion on the part of somebody else, whenever I see somebody all dolled up for a fancy photograph and someone's handing out flyers or whenever there's active promotion for something like that, as an imposition on my day, I hate all those people and I want them to fail. I have a visceral reaction to advertising and promotion. There's just something about salesmanship that grates on me on a very base level and I react very negatively towards it. I want those people to suffer and I want their enterprises to fail.

You enjoy video games, no?

You enjoy video games, no?

Occasionally? But I don’t know what that has to do with anything? Seems like a bizarre takeaway from Aliens. The movie has always been popular, way before any video games it inspired came out.

I think you're overthinking what I'm saying. They scratch the same itch, is all.

Murder On The Orient Express.

What a visual joy. Its so cool they made a big budget movie without fucking SW or Marvel characters. The production design is glorious, the costumes, the camera work...everything is so tasteful.

I wouldn't call $55 million "big budget."
