Why is that, do you think? What keeps you coming back if it's bad?
One thing, and one thing only: the visuals. It's a gorgeous, stylish, sumptuous, visually intoxicating movie.
It's dumb as a bag of hammers, though. Maybe I should start watching it on mute.

Agree completely. It's a beautiful movie to look at. I've got pretty high hopes for this new one.

Play some cool tunes while watching it on mute and you can make your own music videos.
Let me tell you, Homer Simpson is cock of nothing!

I'm still struggling with going to an alien planet and sticking my head into a hatching egg. I feel like there would be rules against that sort of thing.

I've always loved that one of the two survivors in the first Alien was a cat.

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.
