And Robin Hood. And Robin Hood was wretched.I still can't believe how much money he wasted on that turd.
Ok, the only good part of THAT ONE was Max von Sydow.
Neither of these movies were remotely bad

American Gangster's main story was good, but it had too man side characters padding up to an hour of the run time on not so entertaining bull shit. This ain't Heat, Scott.

I didn't think G.I Jane or Gladiator were either.
Next thing you know people are going to shit all over Kingdom of Heaven.

Robin Hood wasn't a bad film by any stretch. It just didn't live up to the ideal of a Ridley Scott Robin Hood film. What we got was a very average narrative with lovely production design and photography. Same with A Good Year which was a pleasant light romantic dramedy
There isn't anything "bad" in those movies.
I did not enjoy those movies when first released. Felt mediocre.

Robin Hood's a fucking boring movie. American Gangster isn't bad by any means but it's not very good either.
Ridley Scott's game has been so off lately but I think this might be that spark in his eye. I hope it is at least.
Loving the visuals.
It can work indeed but I'm still more hyped for the R-rated cut that will be put out on BluRay.

Yeah people are overacting.
I know gore, nudity, and strong language are key components of the cheesy horror genre, but they're not necessarily key components of a good sci-fi movie.

Don't make me sad
Carpenter died in the 80s. Speaking of Carpenter, Alien and The Thing seem like very similar films at times.

Maybe if you had a time machine man, but John Carprenter died in 1988. I'm pretty sure he was replaced with an evil twin after. http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0000118/
I say this with the up most love and respect for him as one of my all time favorite film makers.

One thing I'm worried about is that this movie probably won't be scary, at least nothing like Alien or Aliens.
So I wonder what "kind" of movie it will be, and how it will keep the audience hooked.
I'm thinking they key would be to make the overall crew very "lost", as if they never know wtf is going on or where they really are. That could work a lot more than trying to reproduce the kind of fear of Alien or Aliens, which had to be about the creatures.

Thanks a lot, asshole. Now I've got orange juice all over my screen.
Yeah I know that, what I acutally meant was that Ridley Scott could've made far worse movies than Robin Hood.

Its the story of how Gary Busey came into this universe.

I like the idea that it's a branch off the alien mythology. Mcuh less tricky than trying to fit this into the alien timeline 1:1

Its nicer to be surprised.
Aliens was nothing like Alien. Alien3 was nothing like Aliens or Alien. And same with Resurrection. Each entry drastically changed it up.
2nd, the more it tries to imitate previous ones, would most likely hamper it anyways. A good reason why Aliens succeeded was Cameron understanding this. Why attempt to top Alien? Make a new spin on it while drawing the correct source material.

Gonna watch Alien DC tonight. Such an inspiring trailer, one of the best I've seen in years. Been thinking about it alllll day.
Its rare you see something and think "I wanna be able to do that."

I would assume that the chestburster scene was the reason the movie got an R rating in the first place, then again it was 1979.
My god, Alien came out 32 years ago.
By DC I hope you mean the Theatrical Cut
It was most definitely the use of the word "Fuck". I'm pretty sure the chestburster scene would fly, especially since it is about as bad as the face melting in Raiders.

The context is totally different though...
Maybe it would have been pg, but I highly highly doubt it.
Maybe it's the porn mag!

Doesn't PG-13 films allow the use of 'fuck' once or three times nowadays? As long as it's not in a sexual context.
Yeah, but we're talking about a time when that rating didn't exist, which is why Temple of Doom changed all that when it showed some guys heart getting ripped out to kids.
You're right about that. Context is definitely important as well.
Haha. Beastmaster says otherwise. But a combination of all these factors probably pushed it over the edge.

First impressions of the trailer is that it shits on everything Spielberg has ever done.
Costume design is straight up awesome; an evolution of the old sci-fi outfits. Bioware take note

Well, that is certainly an odd and very specific impression to take away from a trailer.

Time for a full-on media blackout. See you all in the release thread.
Man, I don't know what it is, but I am really pumped for this movie in a way I haven't been in a while. I keep asking people if they have seen the trailer yet. For some reason I think Ridley has it in him. Like this is the movie he's been running from making for a while now.
If I'm allowed to treat it as a horror movie or a suspense movie, I'm putting my gloves back on and getting into some trolling over the holidays.
Tangent: Wait... Without causing a shit-storm of flames can I ask if anyone actually thought Aliens was scary? I've always thought people liked it as a fun 80s action movie... which I can begrudgingly accept since that's just not my thing.

Very nice trailer and I really look forward to this movie.
Might be some random speculation though..:
To me it seems like the thing taken out of that container is some kind of early version of the facehuggers. Can it be a biological weapon? And that the space jockey in Alien is one that got infected and the ship crash landed on LV426. That could mean they evolve. Maybe also the actual queen?

I'm sorry, I'm not familiar with this location.
And Aliens is scarier than Alien. People only remember guns going off and classify it as 'action' because their younger selves blocked out the scary parts to protect them. Much thicker sense of tension in Aliens than the first film. That is not saying it is better or anything attempting to fire people up, just that it is thick with tension that doesn't let up and just builds and builds. To remember what it was like, read Ebert's original review of Aliens.
It's the planet next to LV-426, home of THX-1138.
Watching Aliens when younger, the reveal of the Alien Queen was the scariest fucking shit. From the room it was in, the steam everywhere, the heavy breathing (the most "oh god what" part), etc etc.Man, I don't know what it is, but I am really pumped for this movie in a way I haven't been in a while.

Read Roger Ebert's review on the film, yes it was scary.
But really, both the movies aren't that scary as they were originally released, it dilutes over time, but both do different ways to tension and suspense as Aliens has some of the longest sustained tension in a movie I've seen in a good while went I watched it again on blu-ray this year, once everything went to hell at the ambush, it barely slowed down.
Though I find a lot of horrors movies themselves aren't necessarily that scary either.
Sorry, wrong planet
edited. It's the planet in Alien I think if. Hoping the space jockey was a clue - Status
