There is definitely a line. DC is trying to find it.
Lol.
No but for real I love Alien more than Aliens, but I still appreciate the additional lore. I can never get enough lore. Like, Alien 3 was shit, but at least I got to see what that prison planet was like.
I wish someone would make a movie about other things in this universe.

Why does he wear the mask!?
it's not even that I hate sex or jokes or sex jokes, it's, okay
here's a good sex joke from a recent DC comic
GA or Grayson?
I can't decide on which one I love more. But I do agree with the rest of this.

I think its pretty rare for a capes book to have an honest portrayal of a sexual relationship. like we get a little sex, here and there, mostly played for laughs, but honestly, that time Kitty and Peter got it going in Astonishing X-Men was one of the few times in comics where it made sense that the characters actually wanted to fuck each other.

Why would you?
I see people came down on you, but I totally have your back here. Loved Alien, and was decently excited to watch the sequel since I had heard so many people hyping up Aliens forever, and... it was a letdown in so, so many ways. Like, it retreads so much ground of the first movie but manages to do it so much worse. But it's been a while and my rants on this are already buried on GAF somewhere.
But yeah, long story short: while it's plenty flawed, if it weren't for the awful effects, even Alien 3 would be a better movie than Aliens, and I stand by that statement. (Resurrection, though, yeeeeeeah... that one's only redeeming trait is laughing at how poor it is.)
(Also, while I'm on the topic of unpopular opinions that this reminds me of: I also prefer Terminator 1 to 2, though in that case that's more just preferences than feeling one's actually a bad movie or anything)
Edit: Oh right, may as well cap it off: Prometheus is also flawed, but is again better than Aliens.

I don't think I would say it's better than Aliens, but I did enjoy Prometheus.
Also, I bought the first issue of the new Aliens comic by BRIAN WOOD and it was great.

That would require someone else having actually read it.

It'd be Quill. Colossus is Piotr.
So Peter #4 then.
If i could make everyone read it...
You truly hate everything dont you? :3
I like comics-gaf, barely a mistake on most days.
I mean, Prometheus had things that felt at least somewhat interesting in it (IIRC, don't remember much of it now) and was trying to be its own thing. Aliens felt like it was overlapping the same exact structure as Alien in a ton of places but just missing the point and not pulling anything off as well.
Plus, I mean, it still blows my mind that they do the whole set up of "hey look, Ripley is unfairly prejudiced towards Bishop due to the events of the first movie," which is actually an interesting idea... only for the movie to somehow follow that through with Bishop somehow needing to end up proving himself to Ripley, instead of Ripley needing to actually overcome her prejudices. Bleh.
I don't know, I just found myself annoyed with a ton of things big and small throughout the film the whole time I was watching it. Maybe, maybe if I rewatched it and tried to drill into my head beforehand that it's an "action" film rather than a horror movie like the first one (like maybe it's not "fair" that it annoys me how the Aliens actually end up being far, far less effective and intimidating in mass when compared to single creature in the first one), then maybe I could accept it better. I don't know.
Just at the end of the day, though, I really didn't enjoy the movie at all when watching it, so I don't know what else to say.
Edit: But yeah, I'll drop it for now, as I'm just making myself feel grumpy and me trying to regurgitate my rants from when the movie was fresher in my mind probably doesn't do anyone any good.

Yeah, we don't do that 'round here.
I love sillymonkey. Soon I will sing love songs to him like I do to Freeza from time to time.
Be honest it made you consider being a Furry. I know I thought about it like I thought about becoming a criminal after I watched The Departed.
Lol nah nothing like that.
But man the art in blacksad is hands down some of the best I have seen in my 4 years of collecting comics
It's really awesome. Dude worked for Disney. Too bad he's a dick.

Caught up on today's posts. What got into you all? Aliens bashing? Radiohead bashing? And then it really spiraled out of control.

I know, someone said something positive about Prometheus. What. the. fuck?
I just finished Vision #1 and adored it. One of the best new single issues I've read in some time. I've yet to read something by Tom King I don't like.
And Batman in a few weeks...
While waiting on line to pick up U4 at midnight, I'm gonna finally read Ms. Marvel and Doctor Strange: The Oath.
You know he was once the president of the United States? I think...

I hate so much that I have to work and can't just be playing it right now all the time.
Adulting sucks.
Aliens > Adulting > Prometheus

Read doctor Strange #2 on MU. I don't know why it didn't occur to me until halfway through issue 2 that this series is really an extension/evolution of Aaron/Bachalo's Wolverine & the Xmen series. That precious series had a house of chaos and weird and they took that and just amped it up even more. Fun stuff

fwiw, prometheus had a good title and a solid Giant White Alien Guy design.
I fucking loved Wolverine & The X-Men. Looks like I'm picking up the Doctor Strange hardcover this week.

It's not a terrible film, but for me it joins the Matrix sequels and The Hobbit films as movies that were so crushingly disappointing that I can't watch them and get any enjoyment out of it.
Those Ocean 13 movies got really tiresome, i don't need another.
Prometheus is far and above those movies.
Yes, very! Now there's something I can be positive about! Here's hoping it's at least substantial enough that we get a good look at the actual game engine and whatnot since we've already done some solid waiting on news, and doesn't end up like those reveals where we just get, like, a few seconds of walking around the opening town...
Was considering getting up early for it, but I guess there's no need and I can just watch it when I get up normally...
