Miscellaneous Movie Musings the Sequel - Page 151

All good points, Alex.

Clearly, they bugged me more than they did you.

I think I was more annoyed with the 'bait & switch' of the marketing than some.

Not sure if I'll revisit it when the "Director's Cut" comes out on blu-ray, or if I'll wait until the trilogy is complete...

Hahaha. This.

Damn the next day. I was moderately ok with it yesterday. I suspect I will join mousepod in hatred by the end of the week.

I'm liking it less and less in retrospect, but I'm glad I enjoyed it while it unspooled (until the last 20 minutes ... seriously that set-up then ruin-the-set-up seriously unnerved me).

That said, I'll remain hopeful for the DC. The DC of Kingdom of Heaven really is massively superior.

innerSpaceman · 06-11-2012, 12:09 PM

Ditto on that. Usually I loathe Director's Cuts - they add back stuff that was rightly left on the editing room floor, bloating their movies, removing slick tightness, and ruining mood links for the sake of putting in scenes that perhaps are even good in isolation.

Kingdom of Heaven is a different animal entirely - and I can hardly believe the studio forced Scott to release a decidedly inferior film.

I am so sad. I had no idea (until I saw Jesse's FB) that this was a prequil to Alien(s). Horror movies are scary, I don't watch them. Is this more sci-fi dark/twisted/fvcked up horror or psychological/clown/gore scary horror*?

*For point of reference, I consider Farscape dark/twisted/fvkced up (but not horror)

That's alright, Marla. Prometheus gets confused as to whether or not it's an Alien prequel, too.

Alex · 06-11-2012, 03:31 PM

I predict:

Spoiler:

In other words, this is not a prequel to Alien but rather Alien vs. Predator 3.

Alex . Join Date: Feb 2005 Posts: 13,354	I predict: Spoiler: Once she gets to the BBA home world she'll discover that the entire thing was a program to develop a new creature capable of doing battle with Predator. They'll have not heard that the Predator Aliens are so wimpy that one was taken out by 75-year-old Danny Glover. In the climactic scene of the third movie in the trilogy Rapace will realize that they're needed and send the ship back in time for the events of the first AVP movie to take place. In other words, this is not a prequel to Alien but rather Alien vs. Predator 3.
