I was totally on for seeing it again after I left the theatre. But then, you know.

I'd characterize my attitude as a grudging fondness, seeing it more than once took me from "ridiculous fail but beautiful and entertaining" to "hey there's a lot going on in here", if scott does a director's cut that smoothes out some of the wacky plot turns it would inch close to classic for me
also I've been o_O at the prospect of 3D TVs but this one makes me go hmmm

how would you guys compare it to original alien? for me it feels the new one has aged worse already.
― Philip Nunez, Thursday, 30 August 2012 02:38 (eleven years ago) link
I think it was clearly better than the original "Alien," because all that one offered was questions but this one finally offered some answers.

this part really bugs me in the original alien:http://www.doblu.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/11/alien841.jpg
― Philip Nunez, Thursday, 30 August 2012 02:46 (eleven years ago) link
why do they need so many lights? new alien movie did not answer that question.
― Philip Nunez, Thursday, 30 August 2012 02:48 (eleven years ago) link
Those lights showed that the ship was thinking. New movie better because it didn't waste all that time/lights thinking.

yeah alien that piece of shit was such shit

I wish computers were covered in lights. It looks so much cooler.

iirc this design was rejected because they wanted it to still resemble fifield, so the crew would know it was him when he returned to the ship. agree it's a pretty badass monster, they coulda just given it a red fauxhawk or something.

there's a little bit of me this morning that admires it for its plotlessness and intense vapidity but i am not sure this is what the crew had in mind

there is a whole geometric space thing going on tbf, cars going left and right across the screen and helmets going up and down, some kind of theosophical treatise based on intersecting vertices

it was a nice touch to let that 10 year-old write the script tho, gave it an authentic fanboy vibe

you could say the same about minority report or the matrix or star wars, it's all running back and forth

i'm not even gonna touch the internal stupidities cos i assume this was not meant to have any resemblance to real human beings and the ways in which they may or may not behave, the people were just a convenient hook to hang all the hot helmeting action on

i stole idea from josh clovers matrix book but i mean early sci fi is all about *travel* in the same way horror is always about the body so it makes sense in a way. look at 2001.
not sure where stuff like i robot and ai fit in there though
