SPeaking of Ridley Sccott, was the new Alien flick any good? I think he
directed it, at least. Looked like it was pretty terrible.. The first two
were fathomable because it just so happened (1) that her crew were the first
to meet the Alien and survive and (2) that she was called to goto the planet
with a marine squad because she knew more than anyone else about the Aliens.
But the third one it made it out like it was her destiny and blah and the
fourth one kinda confirms that it's her destiny to fight the alien... which
is stupid. I heard the CG aliens looked really crappy too. I was kinda
excited at first because CG aliens, if done right, could be really scary.
But i hear they sucked, so whaeva.

Good summary of the contrasting styles, Michael.

Re resp:138 - By the "new Alien flick" I assume you mean the fourth
one, "Alien Resurrection", which came out in mid-1998. I agree that
it wasn't so great. The director was not Ridley Scott, but rather
Jean-Pierre Jeunet. He did "City of Lost Children", a fantasy film
that I liked quite a bit. So I had hopes for Alien #4 but was
disappointed.

Is that the one with all the crude language? Everthing was full of "s..t"
or "f.....g"? Like, this will be de-rigure astronaut language of the future?

Re resp:141 - "Alien 3" was the one with all the crude language.

Re #141:
Crude language is common among the sailors; why not the spacers as well?

No that you mention it - when space commerce becomes as common as merchant
ships now. In fact, after I wrote #141, I thought of truckers.....

, the movie totally sucked to the core. it is a complete disgrace ot the

hollywood wannabes cut movies and movies and movies about the same old story
