I saw Alien Covenant again last night because of this thread. DAMN, what a fucking wild ride. I loved it even more. Fassbender was out of this world good. That ending is fucking grim.

Again, what they do to Shaw is cruel...a character that couldnt be a mother is the mother of those beasts? i want a full book of David tricking her into that.

Those drawings? what the fuck

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.

Just firing up Gone Girl. I've definitely seen it before but I don't remember much.

That’s a good addition to my “hasn’t quite clicked but will give another go” list.

It was...not that good. It was often silly, and while not generally in annoying way it took away from the intensity and overall effect.

The Pennywise character was a disappointment. He had about two good scenes and one was his first appearance. He just seemed to go from one random power or ability to another. Was just never interesting or entertaining.

It's not really a scary movie. They're both very romantic, sweet, and very funny movies about friendship and memory. Especially the second one, though that one has some darker and more intense moments. I think they're both great

It wasn't necessarily the lack of a scare factor. But yeah the friendship/relationship aspects were endearing enough. But for me it takes something away when the thing that is supposed to bond them isn't interesting or doesn't work.
