Alien: Covenant is better than Soundgarden

[E.H. Ruddock]

I love Franco

[bada]

Looks like a reboot of the original, which is fine by me. Danny McBride and Wyatt Russell are both great casting choices. James Franco doesn't belong here, and I am so over Billy Crudup.

Lol. I'm the same way with Billy Crudup

Yea, I loved him when Almost Famous came out. But he always seems to play the same vaguely assholish character, and by some accounts that's not far off from his real life personality.

Classic Trag.

[epilogue]

I tend to enjoy Crudup's work. Franco is hit or miss for me. But when he hits, he's outstanding.

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.

[epilogue]

Just to clarify, I don't dislike James Franco at all. I just am having a hard time buying him in the Alien universe.

I totally get that.

But he tends to do his best work when he's a surprise, I think. I like him the best, usually, when I expect to hate him.

His "It's all art" diatribe in This Is the End really made me appreciate him more.

I have not yet seen that film. Though, I am looking forward to it.

The first two acts are great fun. It jumps the shark in the third, but so what, it's not aiming to be anything more than funny and post-modern.

I can dig that.

I'm not really sensing a connection to "Prometheus" (which I was hoping for a continuation on) and the suspense/horror aspects of this were kind of lame. It looks nice.

[LoathedVermin72]

Man oh man this looks fucking great.

[VinylGuy]

Fuck everything, this is the movie i need to see....Lots of cool things..there is a shot of perhaps David, walking to a huge kind of castle over what it seems hundreds of dead bodies...McBride is fucking badass, the xenomorph at the end is fuckin scary....Bring it!!

So that ship they find, is that supposed to be whats-her-name's ship from Prometheus?
