Hah! I'll have to watch it to be sure, but it doesn't look quite right. Also I think the alien was vulnerable to either hot water or CO2 (a fire extinguisher). Can't remember exactly which.
Did you dislike Fury Road and Drive?
.I thought they were incredibly entertaining and have great re-watch potential, but certainly agree they are not going to invite deep reflection or greater understanding of anything.
Also, Army of Darkness is kind of dumb fun as long as we do not compare it to the brilliance of Evil Dead 2. I consider them different genre pieces.
You called the film dumb. I'm just asking what rises above the criticism in your mind. If you think all action flicks are dumb then so be it.
The Raid is what all action movies should be compared to IMO.
At least non-superhero ones.
Agreed. Other than the improved effects, I don't see how T-2 is at all better, other than the fact that you don't have to see Arnold's ass cheeks.
Has anyone seen or can remember a Scifi horror from that era (not sure exactly when, could have been '70s or early 80s) about a remote space station. It's a survival horror where the space station's inhabitants are being picked off one by one as they wait to be picked up. There's footage from the alien's perspective as it watches them. The alien leaves what appears to be rocks in the scooped out stomachs of it's victims.
At the end the surviving pair (man and woman) fly off, and then it shows a view of their hold where all the bodies were kept under tarpaulins. Then the tarpaulins start beating.
Never been able to figure out what the movie was. I crept into the living room and watched it from behind the couch when I was three or four and paid for it with nightmares for about a week.
I'd love to watch it again and see how soft I was.
"Dumb fun". It wasn't meant to be a harsh criticism. And yeah, most action movies are dumb fun. I just find that "Aliens" doesn't do anything special within the genre. I find the action numbing and boring, and not interesting to look at. Other than the final sequence(which is pretty good), it's just guys standing around shooting guns with aliens exploding. For me, there isn't one memorable action sequence in the movie, other than the final showdown. I also didn't care for the hammy characters too much.
Hello fellow war room contributors!
Shit, I agree on Fight Club too. Total crap. imo.
I like The Departed, though. It's derivative, and schlocky, but I still like it.
