It's called science fiction mate.

Gave a bit more thought to your analysis and think you're completely wrong. (There's a surprise!). I mean in relation to your opinion on the first two specifically.
The 2nd one is 'just' a great action film set in the alien universe, in reality there's not actually much to distinguish it from the plethora of 80's/90's sci-fi action films.
In terms of story telling and world building, Alien is incomparable to Aliens. The first is just a masterpiece of film, melding genres and creating a new universe in film history. It's an incredible chase/horror/monster film and that's even before you get to the wider storyline and influence it still has. The 2nd one is just a very traditional action film whose very best ideas are directly inspired by the first film, but it doesn't bring enough good new ideas to the universe, in say the way Prometheus did, or even Resurrection tried to do.

I couldn't give a shit about newt or hicks. Think biehn was maybe a bit of a dick about his image being used?
There being only one alien? It's in the fuckin title of the movie man(!). Pretty cool alien in it i thought.. but that's just me, great introduction of it with the dead ox & the guy holding up the shed skin.

Being bored & "Ripley in panties still got my juices flowing" tho says it all really.

Yes, because they've been doin such a great job of it so far.

It's nasty, low ball politiking. The tories are staging a coup & will further their destruction of common decency & togetherness, they're tearing communities apart.

It's a bleak outlook, unless people rally round the opposition. I'm not hopeful.

I really am so far removed from the mindset of the average English voter: I really cannot see ANYTHING redeemable about the Tories. They are rotten to their very core.

Haven't gotten to play any of the new games. Still want Nier & Horizon. Think ME: Andromeda is a shitheap. Persona 5 looks good.

Played Doom last week. Thought it was excellent. Got completely lost a couple of times when I paused for breath. Exactly the kind of labyrinth layout & gameplay I'd have spent months discovering every nook & cranny of when I was younger.

Also played Everything & Night in the Woods. Really enjoyed both of those. Everything was amazing, a trippy exploration game that was both boring as fuck and addictive. Night in the Woods was really fun but kinda shit the bed with weird storyline decisions.

Doing Prison Architect atm. Good so far. Kinda fiddly & could do with some clearer signposting/handholding.

Sad news. Just wanna add my condolences.

Hopefully the 7 episodes will mean less padding.. unless the 13(?) episodes mean extra??

Cersei ftw.
