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.
