BigBossBalrog Posted August 28 Share Posted August 28 7 hours ago, Celan said: Saw Alien Romulus. It had good atmosphere and some good visuals but the usual stuff, completely forgettable characters that look like they're 13 years old. Plus the gore and action was just... too much. Like it was throwing everything but the kitchen sink at you. They were stock horror tropes, but I found it refreshing they weren't complete idiots like the guys from Prometheus and Covenant. Amongst them, I liked the Android the best. I liked the action-horror, but then again, I play shit like Dead Space and DOOM Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigBossBalrog Posted August 28 Share Posted August 28 New Predator (by the same team that did Prey) so I'm optimistic about this. Apparently it's going to be a swamp-theme, and take place in the American South Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blacks ops Arnold Schwarzenegger and beat cop Danny Glover barely survived their movies by the skin of their teeth. Hillbilly Jane is gonna be a tough sale. 1 Quote * Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The 13 year olds in Romulus were not only canoically teenagers whose families and parents birthed them into Weyland slavery on one of their horrible labour colonies: they were super tough because they were working in the mines their entire lives Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Good Doctor Posted August 28 Author Share Posted August 28 5 hours ago, BigBossBalrog said: they were super tough because they were working in the mines their entire lives That may be so, but they look more like pampered college kids than grizzled life-long mining slaves. Ripley and the Nostromo crew were only space truckers, yet they appeared way more weathered and authentic. Course, I’ve been wrong before. I definitely was about Paul’s actor in Dune. So I’m just saying this based on the trailers and promo images, maybe the movie will change my mind when I see it. But I highly doubt Predator does. Watching the Predator go from hunting guys like this: - to getting its ass handed to it by 100-pound 20-year-old girls like this: - is just very boring and so typical of modern Hollywood. 2 Quote * Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BigBossBalrog Posted August 29 Share Posted August 29 @TheCzarsHussar This might be up your alley. They just released an Ultimate Cut of Caligula: the infamously troubled and insane movie that took years to make, and was then butchered in production. Apparently, the movie only retains about eight percent of theatrical footage, and the rest is never before scene stuff. (And it's like three hours.) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Narrator: It won't. A little stage dirt can't make someone look like they've seen shit. But leave aside the fact that they're babies. They're also completely cardboard cutouts. 1 Quote "If you know me you know I don't keep up with the times.

Because people play video games to be reminded of their limitations IRL. I know I sound like a broken record, but don't see Longlegs. It's horrible rather than horrifying. It's my BF's birthday week and he loves movie so we're watching a lot of them, but so far the score is 3/4 absolute stinkers. Horizon was the best. 1 Quote "If you know me you know I don't keep up with the times.
