Mr. Chatywin et al. Posted November 6, 2022 Share Posted November 6, 2022 Prometheus is a good movie, but it has flaws, notably some dumb shit characters do. I believe it got crushed because people were expecting an Alien movie and it was only loosely associated with the franchise. The follow up tried to overcorrect for that and it was pretty bad. I'd recommend taking a look at this if you didn't like the movie, but are willing to give it another chance: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heartofice Posted November 6, 2022 Share Posted November 6, 2022 I mostly hate Covenant not because it’s a bad Alien movie but it’s a bad sequel to Prometheus. I was holding judgement on Prometheus because a good sequel that built on what came before could have fixed my problems I had with it. Covenant did nothing of the sort though, of all the Alien sequels it was the most lazily derivative, the one that barely tried to do anything different, just recreate all the ‘stuff you stupid people like’. It didn’t build on the world or the mythology of the engineers, it didn’t answer any major philosophical questions, it didn’t wow us with the universes awe and majesty. It just did some boring alien shit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Inflammatory Headline to Make Your Blood Boil Is it really about Redpetion...? The LA Times thought it was not great upon release Sure I'm not going to convince any of you, but know I'm not alone out there... What say there, fuzzy britches? Shawshank is an all-time great. Of all the movies to stand against...Shawshank? I can understand being irritated by knee-jerk responses to mediocrity based on media instruction, though...deleted Beatles rant. For the thread question...Superman. I cannot stand Superman as a comic character but I love every Superman movie. Do people like the Paranormal Activity movies? I like all those as well.

Spockydog Posted November 7, 2022 Share Posted November 7, 2022 I was amazed to discover today that my brother, a man with two English Lit degrees, is completely unfamiliar with the premise of The Count of Monte Cristo. Gonna show him the Pearce/Cavaezel movie at the weekend. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, and I checked, can't watch it here. There's a few older versions that are popular. In V for Vendetta, for example, V and Evey watch the 1934 adaptation.
