OK, so Alien: Resurrection sucks ass.

[katmai]

Up their with Alien3 for suckatude.

One of the Cinemax channels is doing an Alien marathon;  just wrapped up Alien 3;  still don't know why it gets no love--other than fanbois hate the ending--but it's a very cool flick.

I hate the beginning for shitting all over the ending of the second movie!

[Razgovory]

OK, so Alien: Resurrection sucks ass.

Oh yeah, big time.

[garbon]

For a second there I thought CDM was quoting garbon's post. 

Yeah, it does look that way for a moment. 

I got confused too but finally got a clue when Katmai joined in with his comment about wanting to see it.

I'll check out magic mike*, has been getting good reviews and is a Steven Soderbergh flick.




*on dvd most likely, nothing really leaping out at me till Batman, kinda meh on Spidey.

That kind of punk move for a sequel was only outdone by Iron Eagle 2.

Iron Eagle 2?  Now that's getting downright nasty, man.  The fuck Lou Gossett Jr. ever do to you?  He was Sadat!

More importantly he kicked ass with Chuck Norris in Firewalker.

If I were a black man, I'd want to be Charles S. Dutton.

It's a good movie on its own, but slaughtering Newt and Hicks wasn't cool.

[The Brain]

Muppet Treasure Island. Again.

Word.

[The Brain]

Alien 3 isn't a good movie.

Alien 3 isn't a good movie.

Sure it is.  It's just not a good Alien movie.

Watched Kes, a late 60s English movie about a boy growing up in a coal mining town. Brilliant film that captures the small Yorkshire town mentality perfectly. Trouble was I couldn't understand a damn word they said. Apparently their is a "dubbed" version with proper English.

Not to mention Bishop. 

If they had left those 3 characters and Ripley out of it, and just gone with an alien attacking a prison colony, it would have been an OK, if derivative SF/horror film.  But to me, a sequel always sucks when it pisses on the ending of the previous film.

[Admiral Yi]

??  Bishop got disassembled at the end of 2.

Saw The Company Men last night.  Overpaid yuppies get laid off.  Have to sell McMansion.  Have to sell Porsche.  Have to give up golf club membership.  Boo hoo hoo.

Kevin Costner is done with leading man roles.  Too bald.
