I saw Jurassic World a second time, and liked it WAY more than I did the first time (part of this was reading director's commentaries, nd seeing the intent of the movie more than what I would have done, and part of it was seeing it in 3D, which I normally hate, but WOW is it a bonus here.

I have a hard time thinking of canons that the Alien franchise couldn't be crossed over/fused with.

By which I mean I have a long and rather specific list of art that I want to commission.

I think of Michael Fassbender as, like, Tom Hiddleston's evil twin or something.
