  1. I had a hard time believing that Prometheus was a Ridley Scott film. I didn't hate it, but there was some mind numbingly dumb things in it that I don't typically associate with Ridley Scott (who isn't perfect, but...) I guess I should be thankful for Alien: Covenant, because I could totally believe the director of that film would also have directed Prometheus.
  2. Haha, that may well be true! Yeah, I admit he didn't seem to me to be a super programmer either (and actually what he did appeared to be no more than submitting "Cogito ergo sum" through a wonky keyboard).
  3. And Ron Perlman, Michael Wincott, and Dominique Pinion too. I actually enjoyed it, as I mentioned. There's a couple of of patented JossWhedonisms™ that are a bit of a groaner, and I don't think its Jeunet's best film from a direction standpoint, but its a purer realization of what it is trying to be than Alien³ as I recall (I've only seen the extended version of ³ and then only once).
  4. Hhaha, I may be watching all the Leprechan films later this year...
  5. Space Cobra Episode XXX "How to Defeat Salamander" aka "Saramandā o Taosu Hō" and Episode XXXI "So Long! My Cobra!" aka "Abayo! Ore no Kobura" Fun series, if you like pulpy 70s-80s anime sci-fi.
  6. In space, no one can hear you scream while you watch Alien3, Alien: Resurrection, Alien vs Predator, Alien vs Predator: Requiem, Prometheus, and Alien: Covenant.
  7. RIP - I can't tell you the number of times Irenicus' dialogue comes back to me due to David Warner's voice acting. "You will suffer. You. will. ALL. suffer." I just saw him on a Midsomer Murders over the weekend, and I watched Time after Time a few months ago. One of those actors who was always a delight to find out he was in a production.
  8. AvP's badness is only surpassed by AvP2
  9. I liked Alien: Resurrection. But in my defense, I first saw it on a double bill where the other half was Mortal Kombat: Annihilation, the armpit of filmdom. Plus Alien: Resurrection had Michael Wincott in it, who always raises a film. Then again, I don't think Alien3 works really and is probably my least favorite Alien film (with the only one I'd definitively recommend being the first one), so... EDIT: That said, I want to rewatch Alien3 as I've only seen it once.
  10. Well the Time Tunnel exploded itself to show it was working when it was used, but it also exploded when it broke, as did all the computers in the bases. Don't get me started on their poor base security too...although Seaview was worse, letting people without clearance anywhere on the sub....sheesh.
  11. You know who was worse than TREK in this regard? The Irwin Allen shows (Voyage to the Bottom of the Sea, Lost in Space, The Time Tunnel, Land of the Giants). There wasn't a terminal that couldn't explode at any minute in those shows. I'm not sure how the Seaview, in particular, could keep running when its entire operation system went up every episode. Heck, in Irwin Allen shows, thin air could explode at any minute, since that's how all the cosmic aliens got around.
  12. GROUNDED tv show in development
  13. I wouldn't mind seeing someone making an animated film based on that poster.
  14. I don't think so.
  15. Deuteronomy 23:19 ESV - “You shall not charge interest on loans to your brother, interest on money, interest on food, interest on anything that is lent for interest." Luke 6:34-35 ESV - "And if you lend to those from whom you expect to receive, what credit is that to you? Even sinners lend to sinners, to get back the same amount. But love your enemies, and do good, and lend, expecting nothing in return, and your reward will be great, and you will be sons of the Most High, for he is kind to the ungrateful and the evil." Leviticus 25:35-38 ESV - “If your brother becomes poor and cannot maintain himself with you, you shall support him as though he were a stranger and a sojourner, and he shall live with you. Take no interest from him or profit, but fear your God, that your brother may live beside you. You shall not lend him your money at interest, nor give him your food for profit. I am the Lord your God, who brought you out of the land of Egypt to give you the land of Canaan, and to be your God." There are, I think, a few more admonishments about loans and money lending. That said, I'm not sure fighting a wrong with another wrong is a good idea...
  16. Bet it shows up as a Mystery House on Escape to the Country...
