Another One bites the Dust
...and the there were two. The hub of friendship that northerb Virginia once was, is no more. We have been scattered accross the globe much like the Dragon Balls, though we do not have some dude without a nose flying around in an attempt to reunite us. This Japanese reference is in tribute to our recently departed friend Chance. I made it so

Ryan is right, City of God rocked some punani. Great film. I'm curious to hear about Alien 3, the Directors Cut, as I feel ANY cut of this film will suck no matter how hard you try. Not unless they:
1) Cut that god-awful special effect in the end of Ripley dying.
2) Explain why Ripley wanted to cut Newt open so badly to see if there was an Alien in here, when Newt was already dead and thus any alien in her would also be dead.
3) Explain exactly what the prisoner's plan is in the end. All we get is that alien-eye view fucking over & over and we never really know what the fuck is going on other than "we're trapping the alien somehow."
4) Explain why they needed to trap the alien in that little molten lava pit, when there is apparently an ocean of lava right next to it (that Ripley jumps into).
5) Why did they have to kill off Hicks. He's a badass.
6) How does Ripley know she has a Queen inside of her? We've seen her entire experience with these creatures. Apparently the filmmakers forgot that and assumed the audience would assume she knows all (including how to diagnose alien-impregnation ultrasounds?) Incidentally, why does it take hours and hours and hours for the Queen to come out of Riply? How is she knows it's "close" to coming out?
It was clearly a movie made by the generation AFTER those who initially made the first two... and was based on loose interpretations of what I consider the "Alien canon" created by the first two. Fincher was more worried about lighting than a story that jived with the first two.
Why am I spending paragraphs reviewing some super old film???
Because I live in Europe and none of the other movies you're talking about are out here yet, you cocks.
That's not totally true. I Robot was good I thought. Smarter than I expected.
Oh and Kevin, I've finally read the last two Harry Potter books. Now I, like you, can be super annoying by proclaiming "dude, so much happens in the next two! you don't even know what death eaters are dude!" I too, now know what death eaters are. Preferred Goblet of Fire.
Peace out---
