All I really wanted was someone to sit with at the movie since Tiff is
still out of town, but I guess that's too much to ask... and I should
know better. Social skills have never been my strong suit. I don't
know why I'm venting about it here except that since Tiff and I moved
back to Ft Lauderdale and discovered that the local unitarian
fellowship we loved has been taken over by a royal bitch, the cf
community seems to be my only connection to the outside world.
Everything about the movie is mediocre except the special effects, but
then that's the only reason anyone watches Alien or Predator movies.
It seems a bit odd to have cast the same guy who played Bishop in
Aliens as one of the humans in this film, although that didn't even
occur to me until I was headed home, so I guess it's not an awful
choice. Shame that they've milked the Aliens series so much and yet
there've only been 2 Predator films prior to this. Predator always
seemed to me to have more potential, but they just didn't make the
movies. Fortunately this film feels more like a Predator movie to me
than an Aliens movie... The incubation for the Aliens is too short -
an egg is laid and an hour later you have full-grown aliens, which is
inconsistent with the series. I'd have liked to see something like
this done on some distant planet with miners, corporate weasels, an
android (sorry, artificial person) and a complement of colonial
marines (I hear they're tough hombres). Maybe if this one does well in
the theaters we can expect to see something like that in the future.
As a side note -- why does the acid blood keep getting weaker in each
new Alien movie?
