Aliens. Time to take they keys away from Ridley Scott.

Still salty they played favorites and gave him back the franchise over Neill Blomkamp and he went on to make one of the worst Aliens movies ever.

It is so wild to me that the movie about how bugs and sexual violence are bad was changed to how "God didn't give you enough treats" and " technology is bad"

Ridley Scott's output in the last couple of decades hasn't been great in general. I'm glad they at least took the keys to Blade Runner from him.

he went on to make one of the worst Aliens movies ever.

You mean Prometheus or Alien: Covenant? Who am I kidding, it's both.

I actually tolerated Prometheus but Covenant I was like doug-point-cry

Covenant was so much worse than Prometheus. Prometheus still had some scenes where it was like "alright, hell yeah this is wild" but I can't think of a single memorable thing from Covenant other than David playing flute with himself.

Aw the realization she has when she's locked in the sleep thing is pretty creepy.

The dissections are creepy.

The Last Duel or whatever was good

I actually really enjoy these. I'm not sure why no one really likes them.

I do like the space beastie movies generally. Like I like all the Riddick movies.

Chronicles is a guilty pleasure of mine, but I'm perfectly happy to admit I really enjoyed pitch black and riddick.

[–] macabrett@lemmy.ml 8 points 1 year ago

I love those first two movies (and still enjoy the third one) and I'm getting psychological damage every time they put out a new one.

I'm kinda interested in Alien Romulus because it seems like Ridley Scott is completely uninvolved? Kinda just looks like a horror movie on a space ship? idk I'll probably be let down again
