Had a dream that I was working with “good” vampires to catch “bad” vampires, but the bad vamps could make themselves look like the good ones. But I think my little old dog could smell the difference. Hmm.

I watched Alien 3 last night and it's a good movie. I think it suffered from two things: -All the production problems before and during the shoot -Being called Alien 3 and being the direct followup to Aliens

It could have worked as its own movie or as an Alien spinoff. I think people were so upset about how it undoes the ending of Aliens that it coloured their opinion on the rest of the movie.

One small nitpick though, and I can probably explain it; the Alien knew Ripley was carrying the Queen and that's why it wouldn't attack her. Why wouldn't the Alien just plaster her to a wall up in the air ducts until the Queen hatched? It was probably wasn't considered because the Alien was meant to be smaller than normal, having come from an animal. Production problems meant it kept changing size, and whilst the movie has a man sized Alien pulling people into air vents, that could have been part of the rewrites done during the shoot and wasn't scoped into the larger story.

Jesus Christ. Was way stronger than I thought it would be.
