Respectfully disagreeing is no fun, please inject more apoplectic vitriol in future comments.

How many Doctors have been asked "Who"? and how many films have been set in the Skywalkers's neighbourhood?

So many particulars. So many questions.
is that one of the Engineers in the middle there? I couldn't finish prometheus as it was awful

Didn't you say on the sci fi thread that you have a low bar with sci fi and you were sticking up for Jupiter Ascending... Prometheus was a bit of a mess but come on!

the crime is being boring tbf. And Prometheus, I gave it two goes, just was for me

you should finish it off DotCommunist, because after a while it becomes so stupid it goes beyond boring into being intriguing, you keep watching for the facepalm moments.

From the director of The Martian and Alien? So no mention of Prometheus then? Funny that...!

Probably not much room on the sign to mention all his non-spacey, non-alieny films...........
If the sign's gonna mention 'Alien', why not the most recent one? Cos it shits balls, that's why. It's like selectively leaving off crappy jobs from your CV.
It looks like it might be - it would tie in with the mural we see in 'Prometheus' (a film I quite like despite the flaws). Some of the recently released magazine shots seem to reveal a bit too much in the way of (what we might assume to be) 'Paradise'.
Looking forward to seeing this one.

IMO it's both futile and unfair to try to nominate a 'best in series' film in the Alien franchise. Alien and Aliens are such different beasts... both have massive merit but are different genres really. One can see how people might have a favourite depending on their personal tastes.
I happen to love both atmospheric horror and sci-fi themes, so I refuse to be dragged into a which-one-is-best argument. But at the least I'm happy to say Aliens must be one of the top three sequels ever made, and one of the best action movies as well.

I always found Aliens to be a bit dull and overlong.

After consulting with the elders, it has been decided that your opinion on this subject is null & void.

it's a valid opinion, when you consider how it contrasts with the tautness of Alien

Way more action in Aliens. Suspense is good, but should be married with a healthy dose of kick-ass blow-the-crap-out-of-everything-ness. Aliens hits the sweet spot.

an outstanding slimpy bastard performance from weyland-yutani company man. Some build up, the balls out all the way. All the best lines 'kill me, please, kill me'
